We recently announced the Echoes of the Atlas expansion which launches next week! After our livestream reveal, community streamer ZiggyD hosted a live Q&A with Chris Wilson to answer the community's burning questions. In this news post, we've summarised their discussion and rounded up other questions that have been asked by the community in the last 48 hours.

If you missed it, you can check out the full Q&A with ZiggyD and Chris below.



The Maven & Her Challenges


How does The Maven's gameplay progression work? Does it occur alongside the Sirus/Watchstone progression?

The Maven's progression is not tied to Sirus/... Read more

I approve, snark is always a valid way to communicate.

I really didn’t mean for it to be snarky. Sorry if it came off that way. The longer version is that Chris and I write key topic points so many times before they’re revealed that over time they tend to get boiled down to their key points and say ideally as much as they need to and no more, which is how it would end up looking like the same response repeated. We don’t can responses though, and I try to put stuff in quotes if it’s an exact quote from somewhere else.

Are you guys trying something new where you have canned responses for things? I've heard this exact thing from Chris like 4 times

-68 is all you guys got? Come on now. Really downvote me

No but it sort of makes sense that the same question generates the same answer.

This probably means the first [redacted] are the gem reveals.

The gem reveals happen the day after patch notes. The first redacted was the Atlas Passive Trees.

Thank you for the effort, but honestly, there are going to be thousands of people wanting this as their wallpaper. I think you guys are going to be overwhelmed with the requests processing. I would suggest just putting it somewhere publicly available, the higher resolution the better, for everyone interested to be able to grab and resize as they see fit.

Yes, I was referring to the press kit we send out to a select number of people. (It doesn't include that image as a wallpaper).

They day before the patch notes is when we're planning to reveal the Ascendancy changes. The Elementalist, Deadeye and Inquisitors received the most significant changes. All the other classes have been simply rebalanced - so in this scenario, looking at the Occultist, Hierophant and Slayer changes is your best bet to judge the level of changes to other classes.

You see that footage at the minute and a half mark and YouTube auto selects which part of the video to display when you mouse over it.

Thanks for this! I’ll look through it when we’re finalising the FAQ. Just a heads up that we had to switch the news to tomorrow. So instead, you’ll see the challenge rewards today and the FAQ tomorrow. Sorry about that, it’s ended up massive and on top of wrapping up the announcement yesterday, couldn’t be squeezed into the day.

Comment

There wasn't too much going on in terms of cryptic teasers this time. The only really cheeky one was this one which is one of the new map boss arenas.

Comment

Just a heads up that Disintegrator and Martyr of Innocence have had their flat damage to spells removed and Battlemage added to them instead. Disintegrator still has damage to attacks and spells per siphoning charge.

I don't know if this is something that GGG is interested in providing, but Riot with Legends of Runeterra provides a full Streamer kit at the bottom of their media page on their website. I feel like this is a really great resource that potentially GGG could provide to aspiring content creators.

Anyways, here's the link if you're interested - https://playruneterra.com/en-us/media/

Yeah potentially this would be very good. At the moment we email them to people who ask but that's a better scenario.

I was hyped like crazy until I saw the word harvest. I appreciate the hardwork that went into that league but I haven't stopped playing a league as fast ever. It just felt like you had to stop what you were doing every 5 maps to go spin a needless plate.

Harvest content is optional. Here's how it works now - "Harvest has returned. Instead of having to plant and manage your own Sacred Grove, you will discover portals to established gardens with multiple sets of harvests ready to go. From each pair of options, carefully weigh the encounter difficulty against the crafting outcomes before making a choice. If you can slay the monsters that spawn, you'll be rewarded with Lifeforce that can be used to greatly improve your items."

You can access the Echoes of the Atlas content in both the permanent leagues and Ritual Challenge Leagues.

It's Matt Sunderland.

/u/Bex_GGG, can you share when Harvest will start appearing in gameplay? I am hoping during the Acts, it was an awesome aid during leveling.

Harvest is map-only content.

Atlas Passive Trees and then Ascendancy Classes.

Is Harvest restricted to maps? Or does it start appearing in late Acts (Heist was mentioned as starting in Act 6 I believe)

Yes, it's map content.
