Yea, every skill is going to have context specific targeting methods for controller that will help it aim a lot better. For lots of abilities it won't change much really but this is the prime example of where it's just way better.

You are going to love the controller changes we have coming. These exact same inputs will have your fireballs casting at the boss every time in 1.2.

Just for the record, I think it's steam sync causing the problem.

The only scenario where it is the game working as intended that you have to play around is if you change a ton of stuff really fast and unplug your computer really fast.

Edit: or the save folder is being compressed by Windows or it's getting a file lock from a 3rd party sync program like one drive or Google drive.

So many things, it's really not an important step in the instructions because of how often it happens. Basically anything that would mean a save is in order. It does have a limit to how frequently but it's like a 5 second timer or something.

• Allocating a skill or passive point
• Changing your equipment in any way
• Selecting a mastery
• Changing idols
• Picking a blessing
• Completing any step of a quest
• Moving an item in your inventory
• Dropping or picking up an item
• Any crafting
• Achieving a new arena record
• Abandoning a challenge mode
• Moving, placing or removing items in your stash
• Exiting the game
• Probably something else I've forgotten

I'm pretty sure that one just doesn't have a stat line in your character sheet that is the same stat.

Backup your save files.

Disable steam sync.

Move an item in your inventory. (This forces a save)

Open the save game folder and check that the file date has updated.

Close game.

It's a valid question and I understand why it seems like I'm just being lazy. I will sometimes just make the bug report myself. Here is why I normally just request that players do it themselves in no particular order.

1. Lots of players don't know how easy it is to report in game and once they do it once, they will do it next time they have an issue and we then get more reports.
2. The fastest way for me to report the issue is to boot up the game and submit it the same way. People will often already have the game up and it's faster for them to do it.
3. If there is a follow up on the report that we need more information on, a report submitted by the person experiencing it is linked to their account so we can message them and ask for more information.
4. When they make the report, it collects game and server log information so we can get some very useful data from that which is lost if I do it.
5. I'm on vacation right now and I just don't feel lik...

Nice, well at least it's only visual. Please do still make that in game bug report though.

I just looked at the code for it and it's nothing fancy. Happens the same way as every other duration node. Check to make sure that it's not just the visuals that are ending early and submit an in game bug report and we'll look into it.

There was an issue that was going around not too long ago so you might still be encountering it. If your system is very powerful, the frame rate can start to creep up and actually cause problems. If you cap your fps at various levels, you might have a more smooth play experience. Start with 60 and see how it does. On high end systems, changing the graphics quality settings often has little to no effect on performance.

But the legendary versions of those items are not so they don't count.

We explored a cumulative approach to it but it encourages a really degenerate burden of optimal play. With that system, now you're just slamming useless uniques and whatever exalteds until you build up enough "luck item resource" then you funnel it all into the one you actually care about. Now suddenly the optimal way to do a slam is to get a dozen keys, run Julra a dozen times and then do 1 more with the "real" item.

I do like the idea of having ways to put resources into improving your odds. I don't think having it guarantee 1 specific mod is necessarily ideal but maybe being able to force it to pick at least 1 prefix by handing in a rare drop modifier item or something might be an option.

I would push back on all of those by suggesting that each of those builds is online and functional long before a legendary version of any of those items is necessary and the normal unique version is plenty to make the build function if any of them are build enabling.

Your feelings towards the system in general are well heard though.

It's a good thought in general. I think the issue comes from higher tier dungeons restricting the level of unique that can be used, not the LP amount.

I really like this idea. I think each tier would probably want to drop a key like item and not have it be limited to T4. I don't know if we've ever debated this idea before or not. I'm generally a fan of itemizing stuff like this. I think it makes the reward more tangible and let's you build up a few all at once. One downside might be that it allows for a stronger compromised opinion of the statistics to be formed through a very rapid small sample size. While missing three 3LP slams in a row is extremely rare, with enough people doing it, eventually it will happen to someone. Probably not a strong enough reason to not do it though.

Kinda just thinking out loud here and I like it. I'm out of the office this week but I'll suggest it. I would like to suggest that the amount of fun that the dungeon is to actually do plays a huge role in the issue. We are in the process of a very significant fun upgrade in the dungeons. We never wanted the "fixed grid with random blockers" syst...

I think I can translate.

Dear EHG,

I would really like to be able to change my masteries. I have noticed other people asking for the same feature and I think it would be good for the game.

Thank you for your consideration,

Yea, that's something called Confirmation Bias. Because you're hoping for a specific outcome, your brain prioritizes results that align with that outcome in your memory. Everyone does this and it's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're really interested in testing this properly then you'll need to start recording all the data from every crafting event.

I have run tests on the system with artificial sample sizes in the trillions to make sure that things like this don't happen and that the randomization is as fair as it can be. So I am quite confident when I say that sacrificing materials to dummy items is a waste of crafting materials and time.

However, if you enjoy doing it, then keep doing it. I don't want to tell you how to play the game. Just trying to have accurate information available to people who might stumble upon this in the future.

Yea, the chance of any individual (fair) coin flip is always 50/50 regardless of what has happened before.

Edit for second question in the edit: Yup, the chance of any individual (fair) coin flip is always 50/50 regardless of what has happened before.

That's right. Your next roll will not have a higher chance of lower potential.

Every roll is an isolated event that has no impact on the rolls that come afterwards and are not affected by the rolls that came before.

I literally wrote the code you are talking about. I know how it functions. If you want to keep doing this, that's fine. I just don't want someone else to come across this and think they should do it too.

This method has no impact on the outcome of crafting.
