What (if any) issues did you have developing S4E2 that come to mind in particular?

This was a really bad cold and flu season...

Bug in the system indeed.

Hi! I've noticed the pages of text finally got their own UI, can we expect retroactive redo of all the other pages/books in the game?

This is certainly something we want to do, but the task is pretty low priority when weighed against other things, so it won't be any time soon.

How does something like this make it through internal testing? Genuinely curious

/u/HPetch is right in that we have the ability to turn off cooldowns in the dev environment, but we don't typically do that, and that wasn't the case here. The issue actually didn't show up in the same way in the dev environment (and I'm not a programmer, so I couldn't tell you why). It would set the cooldown of one specific heal skill, and usually not the one on your bar, so we didn't know there was an issue afoot. Anyways, a fix has been worked on and once it's been through proper testing it will make its way out ASAP.

We are investigating solutions to the problem. It is certainly not intentional. We will let you all know when we have an update.

just to clarify, can players who only own PoF and not HoT craft any legendary weapon from set two or just the new focus?

All of the "pure crafted" gen 2 legendary weapons can be crafted with the Gift of Desert Mastery. That includes:

Eureka

Flames of War

Sharur

Shooshadoo

The HMS Divinity

The Shining Blade

and of course, The Binding of Ipos and the rest of the set going forward

Hello all!

I've been working out a few bugs for the legendary collections, and just wanted to let you all know how things stand.

 

Assuming everything goes as scheduled, when Wintersday turns off (1/12) the following things will be in:

  • Dwarven Spell Trap: if you have collected all of the magics, but it hasn't "charged" you can double-click it to charge it

  • Temple of Dwayna: there are 2 collectibles for capturing the temple of Dwayna, Malchor's Notes (Bolt I) and Malchor's Demise (Twilight I). Defending the temple will also grant these items.

  • Magnificent Lens: Defending the "Gates of Arah" will also grant this collectible

  • Any collectible where you need to charge something at a place of power will now give priority to that over charging quartz. This wasn't really a blocker, but it was pretty annoying.

 

Here are some things that I'm working on, but didn't feel comfortabl...

Hello all!

My name is Matt Pennebaker, and I wanted to reach out and say "hi." As many of you know u/LinseyMurdock is rolling off of working on legendary collections as she is needed elsewhere. I will be stepping in and attempting to fill her metaphorical shoes (my literal feet are like twice as big as hers).

I have worked directly with Linsey for a couple of years on rewards, but I want to note that while I helped with early design of the legendary journeys, I was not involved in their detailed designs or implementations. This is important to get out there because it means that I am still familiarizing myself with everything that's been done, and where things are hooked in to the game. So please, bear with me.

Now that you are bored with who I am, you may be asking, "why is this guy still talking?" Fi...
