Yes, that is part of our process. In the most recent test of 1000 maps we ran it on, for example, it found 51% more unique items and 3.3% less currency compared to 3.18.1f (with no Sentinels activated). This is some of the data that we're using to help our internal discussions around how item drop rates feel.

It truly means we haven't finished discussing it. I'm not trying to indicate that there will or won't be changes, just that I don't know yet.

What are the current thoughts from GGG's side about the Divine/Exalt swap? I think the general consensus from any player who likes to craft is that Divines simply hold far too much weight on their shoulders right now. Do you guys agree with that sentiment? Just hoping it's on the radar and at least being monitored or considered for changes.

Thank you for the communication and we know you guys are trying. After all, why wouldn't you want your game to be successful?

We are aware of this but it was a pretty significant change and it makes sense that it's going to feel weird at first. Our expectation was that it'd take most of the first league for players to properly adapt, so as we're approaching 3.20 we'll assess whether the change achieved its goals and whether any other tweaks are needed.

Are you also aware of feedback around hiding changes/nerfs and not talking about them in Patch Note?

Yes, we've spoken about what actually happened here and apologised for the oversight.

Thanks! Can the boss tile rooms be bigger? I’m forced to kite out every time because I don’t have enough room to dodge 3 bosses attacks.

I believe there are some terrain improvements coming but I don't think they apply to this situation. I'll let people know though.

Development work needs to happen before writing can be done or there's nothing to talk about.

We're currently working on a number of further improvements and wanted to give you an overview of what's coming.

We are planning to limit the number of Archnemesis mods that can spawn on certain rare monsters. For example, those that spawn additional monsters in boss fights and those that can't drop items.

We are monitoring the current situation where players feel forced to swap items or hire a magic find culler against specific four-mod Archnemesis monsters. We don't have an immediate solution for this but we are actively looking at it. We're making some improvements to the Kalandra League, including a change that allows you to see which rooms have already been completed as well as making the Reflecting Mist more common.

We are planning to buff Tainted Currency.

We are aware of feedback around Harvest crafts but don't have any commentary on this yet.

We are aware of feedback around Minion survivability and are making it so that certain m...

There have been twelve days since launch (eight work days) and we've made seven posts about launch in that time and released nine patches. We're working really hard to release improvements as quickly as possible and communicate them but they do take time. With that said, there are more changes coming and we'll communicate about them as soon as we can. Hopefully in a post later today.

This character was made first thing in the morning at league launch to keep an eye out in game. It wasn't a response to community sentiment.

I booked a vacation for my family a long time ago and I couldn't change it by the time it became a conflict with league launch. It's very unlikely that I would ever willingly take a league launch off - the only other time was when I was on parental leave. I'm back now and catching up on everything I missed while I was away.
