Any updates on master missions not spawning naturally? I havent seen any naturally occur outside of missions I choose. Also I may have missed it but blight missions aren't spawning for second characters. Was that fixed or is it being tracked?
As far as I'm aware the Blight issue was fixed earlier this week unless this is a new issue I'm not aware. I'm still waiting to hear back about the master missions.
I'll find out what's happening. The team has said that they haven't found anything faulty with the master mission spawn rate or favoured map system but they are still investigating.
Okay so we've looked into this fully now and while the favoured map system does work there are two systems from which maps drop. Maps that drop from the Atlas use the favoured map system, maps that drop from places like the Temple of Atzoatl and Vaal areas use a different system and so favoured maps don't apply to these drops. Discussing it today after you all brought it up, we agree that the favoured map system should apply to both, so are going to do that. I don't have an ETA at the moment.
still no mention on how actually Delirium interact with old content to make do them in mit worth it. Shame.
What?
How much longer till the patch?
We're still hoping to deploy it today but I can't give an ETA. It's likely still several hours away.
Any news on the lack of wild master missions within maps? I’ve seen exclusively blight and metamorphs and I haven’t seen a wild master mission since hitting maps
They've had a look and not found any issues with master missions but they're investigating further.
Does 'leaving the instance pausing the timer' also include pausing for vaal side areas, presumably? Just confirming.
Yes, as long as no one is in the fog instance it will pause when you leave.
What is sitrep on master missions via the map device?
Hopefully available early next week.
@/u/Bex_GGG awesome! This is great. Especisaly the pause. Is there any word on South African servers? Its really frustrating playing on predictive mode with 200+ ping.
It’s still up to our server providing making a gateway in that region. If they open one up we’ll do that I’m pretty sure.
Hi there bex, you posted about possible changes coming today, how do I know if they are out already or not? Is it going to be 3.10e?
They're not out yet.
If it seems to be working as intended, could we get confirmation on what the actual numbers are for a favorited map? In the teasers, 10x per favorite was mentioned (1000% Increased), but was this lowered for full launch? It might help clear some confusion, like if the launch version is only 50% Increased or something, it'd be getting lost in the noise of other map drops (or variance of the drop distribution).
I'll find out what's happening. The team has said that they haven't found anything faulty with the master mission spawn rate or favoured map system but they are still investigating.
Glad to hear that. Many tech companies, even game dev ones, have transitioned to WFH. Are you considering that?
Take care! // WFH with games.
Yes, we are getting the team prepared to do this.
Any word on the favored/preferred map system? I saw a post where you were going to look into it but no confirmation of a problem.
I don't think they found a problem with it but I'm checking again.
Read moreBex, it's starting to feel like you're not allowed to answer people's concerns about the timer existing, and it's raising some concerns that GGG is putting their foot down and will not remove the timer no matter what. If that's the case, I'm sorry but this league is going to continue to be held back, it's pretty clear that all your issues stem from this timer and trying to do a timed scaling league across maps.
The fact that people even need to raise this clunky solution for bosses already shows how much you guys would need to bend over backwards to make the timer work. If we didn't have the timer, we could actually push against the content while still having time to loot(no need to backtrack), there wouldn't be issues with reaching the boss in the first place nevermind phasing bosses, there wouldn't be an issue with bad layouts, etc.
If I'm right that you're not allowed to talk about it because of internal stuff, then I'd at least appreciate if you can continue to ...
I'm allowed to talk about it, there's just not much to be said. The only thing people want to hear me say about the timer is that it's been removed. I don't have that to say. I've raised the feedback and talked with many team members about the community's feedback around this.
They purposely nerfed it, because master mission chance is an Awakened Map completion bonus now... but the nerf was just supposed to be a drop from 8% (5=40%) per master to 7% (5=35%), with full awakening bonus boosting it to 9% per master (5=45%)
Sounds like they messed something up with the change...
I haven't had any problems, personally... I've encountered a couple of each master in my 50-75 map clears... hard to say if it's lower than it should be...
Natural master mission chances were unchanged in 3.10.0 (still 10% for a random master, of which there are 5 possibilities, equally weighted). Edit:I mean we didn't change anything intentionally. We are looking to see if there is a bug.
We only changed the Atlas Mission chance, from a flat 40% chance to a scaling chance (35% at awakening level 0, up to 45% at awakening level 8). Which appears to be working just fine. Edit: the chance scales from 35% to 45% based on Awakening objectives completed, not Awakening Level.
I'm not sure why the natural masters wouldn't spawn. The only things that are supposed to prevent them spawning in Maps are other sources of Masters (master sextants/prophecies/scarabs/Atlas Missions/etc), plus a few obvious special cases like Blighted Maps and Unique Maps.
Hey Bex, any chance we could get the mist pause for boss fights as well? There's nothing more frustrating than fighting a boss, bringing him to ~10% and the mist JUST fades away seconds before we can kill it. Pausing the mist for as long as we are actively engaged with the boss would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for the hard work <3
I don't have a full answer for this sorry! It was considered and then decided against. My understanding is that it's too complicated to implement when players could drag the bosses across the map in some cases to perpetually keep the Delirium activated and also it's very iffy when it comes to how to implement it with party play.
I think you guys mentioned something in the previous manifesto about a difficulty bar, is that still happening or no?
The depth meter is referred to in this post.

We're aware of this but we don't want to fix it yet as it'll break too many people's builds. Have fun with it until next league!
Edit: There's a bug where Purposeful Harbinger applies to enemy auras. That is getting fixed.
Edit 2: I don't know why the comment was deleted but it was referring to herald notables.
Thanks Bex, hope you and the team stay safe while working through these trying times.
Thanks. The situation in New Zealand is okay right now but everyone is getting prepared all the same.

If you look through the order of the post it's ordered by what's already happened, what's happening imminently and what's coming up in the future. Also we just shared this post across all our social media and website so it's hard to argue that it's hidden information.
