I can confirm that we did have between Christmas and New Years off, and some staff have taken longer. It’s been a hard year and lots of people are taking this time to recover.

PS, you can’t just pay Microsoft to fix things, that isn’t how their company, or even tech, works.

The issue will be fixed with our next update, but cannot be done so with a simple server fix, or we would have pushed the fix already.

We were indeed off last week, though I did pop my head in. I’ll be updating my streaming schedule soon.

Love seeing you post your art again, Lyya!

I’ve not been making art as often as I’d like, but I did paint this portrait of my partner as his DnD character for our anniversary.

I have some info on this! It looks like something has gone wrong with this achievement, even after talking to first party, so it will be made available with our next update. Unfortunately it isn’t a quick easy fix on either end.

Is this occurring across multiple accounts? If anyone can weigh in that would help greatly.

It looks like something may have updated and broken our discourse / wordpress connection or compatibility. I’ll have a look into it when I’m back at work next week.

We didn’t have much time as we have been working on updates, and the balance changes were done one top of our usual hours.

If we had held off to also do the weapon update it could have easily been another month or two, especially with people being on leave over the Christmas holidays. Lots of people take time off during these months which does impact our ability to work on extra things outside of our pre determined core updates. I hope this helps shed some light on why we did this balance change in the capacity seen here. It’s a delicate balancing act and I pushed hard for our team to do what they could.

There’s a whole section on things not mentioned in the patch notes! :stuck_out_tongue: I kid I kid, I really should. After my holidays though.

I just want to pop in and say that I don’t forget about issues, but I don’t decide what goes into updates. I advocate for what players belive is important (and what I can see as being viable in future updates) as that is what I feel is an important part of my job. I collate the information, distribute it, and back it up where possible, but that is all that is in my hands. <3

Sometimes small balance changes need to be included in updates, but we do not do big sweeps with them anymore due to what’s happened in the past. (It wasn’t a failing of communication for some balance changes to go out with the update, I knew about it. We just don’t do this much anymore, and don’t want players to expect balance changes with updates, which is why I’ve communicated about it the way I have.) This is why I pushed for some balance changes prior to Christmas.

I can’t comment on much more at this time (as I’m on holidays) but I did want to shed light on these two points, as I feel it is ...

I can confirm that it is much more difficult to change weapon affixes and trees than it is to change mana cost or make alterations to amount of gems spawned, percentage chances, etc. This is the main reason that doomed weapons were not included in this round of balance changes. We didn’t have much time and the community has been asking for balance changes for a long while, so we did some in the capacity that we could before Christmas holidays. (We didn’t have much time to get these out the door before the team would be away, and didn’t want to risk changing anything too much that could result in bugs while our programmers were unavailable.)

We will look into this further when we are back in office. Thank you for the information everyone!
