Uniques don’t have affixes that are linked to shard IDs so they can’t be shattered because they don’t have any affix shards.

Their rarities are somewhat entangled. Some of each are higher than some of the other. It’s not an explicit one over the other relationship. Exalteds are generally considered higher overall because they start dropping later in the game and were added later so their rarity number got added after.

I know it’s technically publicly available but I removed your steam ID just in case. Staff can still see the value if needed.

If you’d like support getting this handled. Please reach out directly via our support site and we can get your sorted out in a private and secure environment.

Yea, I usually use the like button as an endorsement that the information is correct. So when someone posts a question if the correct answer is already there, it’s faster to just hit like than repeat what someone else has already said.

In this case, I thought it better to spell it out a little more.

Please be respectful in your discussion. I will close the thread if we can’t move past taking shots.

Llama and Bronco are right, the majority of CoF bonuses are to item drops and they also get some bonuses to crafting. The bonuses that are being referenced are also work in progress examples that are designed to show the type of bonuses that we will be implementing, not specific bonuses that are guaranteed to be included. As it states in the infographic.

We have no intention to split CoF into two factions, this would only serve to exacerbate the primary problem with the system, complexity.

The ask-the-devs channel on our discord is one of, if not the closest thing to universally approved that we do. We have no intention of stopping it. I’m sorry you don’t like it.

Almost all the questions that get asked there can be answered by reading forum posts but most people don’t have time to go through them all so they just ask the specific question they want to know.

If you ask the same question there and here, we will answer it in equal detail. The format of a single thread that I can keep open as I work makes interacting with it significantly faster.

The ask the devs channel is not locked behind any sort of paywall or special permissions. Nobody is getting an unfair advantage by asking questions in it.

Ideally, they would be identical. Obviously that’s not going to happen. We don’t have a specific maximum acceptable difference that we’ve picked out. It’s going to be more “get it as close as we can with these tools”. Then evaluate how close it is and look to feedback. Then decide if we need to add more tools to get it closer or not. If we do want it closer, add the tools, and go back to the start of this process. Repeat until we are happy.

No, as it states in the initial post above, this will not be included in patch 0.9 on March 9th.

This is on my list to do. It didn’t quite make it into 0.9 but I plan to do it in a HotFix soon.

That’s right.

I’m sorry to burst your bubble here but you’ve severely over estimated the extra information that the CTs get.

All the “early patch notes” comes from people taking data from the game builds that we released publically during the test events. The builds we used for the test events had a very significant amount of changes that the CTs had never seen before those events started.

Edit: I’m also shocked by the assertion that we provide too much publically available information about the game when people ask. I literally check Reddit and the forums many times a day, every day, to try and answer questions and don’t hold back because it’s not on the discord.

You always get at least 1 shard from shattering. So if you find an item with just one affix, you will guaranteed get at least one shard of that affix when shattering.

GoG would have to change several of their requirements and include several new functionality for us to consider it.

Please re-read the initial announcement post and the accompanying FAQ. There is a lot of good info there and I think it would answer a lot of additional followup questions.

No, no, because if we tagged them, then they wouldn’t be tradable.

All characters, even after the system is released, will start off without a faction affiliation. All characters will have to go through the same process of joining a faction if you want. It doesn’t matter when the character was created.

It is a long standing Linux bug that we are working on.

I’m sorry but we have no intention of implementing this. I don’t like to speak in absolutes so I won’t say that this is impossible. However, nobody on the design team has ever advocated for this and all of us have very strongly agreed that we don’t want this. It is one of the rare times that we agree so completely.

Edit: Because somehow I’ve already received 3 DMs about this, the topic says “Auto pick-up everything”.

For a select few players I expect that this is probably true but in order to make multiplayer function properly in time for the 0.9 release, we were unable in incorporate our launcher in time. The item gifting system is also included in 0.9 so you will be able to share loot with party members.

We haven’t set the exact time that it will go live yet. It likely will be similar to previous events which are in the morning North America time so that we have the most support staff ready to assist right away.

No, if you want to play 0.9, you need to use Steam. We were unable to get it working with our launcher in time.
