I've just received confirmation from the team that we're going to work out a way for players to claim a second version of the Mystic Void Battery Skin (if they've paid for the pass and then subsequently achieved 67 map objectives). I don't have a timeline for this as implementation is going to take a little work but we're happy to confirm that it's coming.

This is on my radar. I'm hoping to have some info soon.

We're actively working on a solution for this but I don't have any specifics I can report right now.

I commented on this here.

We've released two patches with changes to Archnemesis mods since our last big post about them. You can find their notes here and here. There are more changes coming - specifically to Immunities, a change to how Archnemesis mods occur in Blight, and a change that prevents the Trickster modifi...

Yes, there were a few that talked about mental health in a way that I worried could be harmful to people dealing with those issues.

Delirium was released on March 13th 2020 - that line was written well before the pandemic had really kicked off. I remember seeing one reddit thread that never left /new but it was someone saying 'This is really ruining my immersion'. There was something subtle but hard-hitting about the way that person represented their unease over the voiceline. We quietly removed it that day.

We reviewed the rewards being dropped by rare monsters and on average they drop more rewards than 3.17. Once we're done with the balance work on the mods, we'll review the rewards to see how they feel with regard to their difficulty, with a particular focus on rewards for rare monsters with multiple modifiers.

Nice title, Chrisp

I kind of disagree that there is a large disconnect. Keep in mind that it's the same team that makes the things you do like, that makes the things you sometimes don't like. We're aware that there is a range of preferences between people who want more challenge or not and we try to cater to that as much as we can. (Hard Mode being a separate version is an example of this). Additionally, the changes we're making to the Archnemesis modifiers to make them more manageable are compromises that we're willing to make and feel okay with - both because they still with our original design intention and because what you think about the experience matters to us.

I told him lol

I want to clear this up because it sucks to see our QA team taking the brunt of this when they work really hard. Extensively tested means that it was tested to confirm that it works exactly how we wanted it to. It was a choice to make them difficult, not an oversight. I imagine that difference won't make the experience more palatable but at least you shouldn't blame QA.

In general it's okay for some cases to be harder for specific builds but we're keeping an eye on this and do have many changes planned already. Please let us know about specific cases you'd like us to look at most and we'll discuss.

Maybe in like 30-60 minutes

Will this passive convert a Unique Map or Shaper Guardian Map or Synth Map that cannot be set as a Favoured Map to Currency?

Yes. However, it should be noted that Elder and Conqueror Maps will spawn on your Favoured Maps more often than not.

There will be a reset this time.

We really like talking to Raiz about the game and appreciate his input on this podcast.

It should work.

Our intention is to not nerf or buff any builds. This generally includes not going out of our way to aggressively fix bugs that do benefit those builds. However, there is a point where something is so insanely game-breaking that it warrants an immediate fix regardless. We will fix it as soon as possible, ideally today.
