I expect at least a few major patches with the rest of the sub-classes and the trade system first. Though I could understand waiting for full release to drop the guild system. I think it'll still be quite a while until release
Probably have those 2 things reversed. Last masteries will be 1.0 and item factions could be pre-1.0
I don't expect a hard delivery. This is an idea/suggestion for the future for QoL. Maybe in the 1.0 😉
cough not a QOL suggestion cough causes mechanical gameplay changes cough
So like, can they cluster tighter? Like, right next to each other with a few pixels in between? I've played both storm and upheaval totems into lvl 100 monos, and I can't think of a situation where I didn't just drop the totem directly on top of what I wanted it to kill. The spacing of the Grove node geometry hasn't ever really y impacted what the playatyke wants to do, aside from failing to summon some # of totems. Tightening the cluster would really help, which I think is really what I'm getting at with this post.
It is possible to change the radius. I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to commit to any changes.
Unfortunate, but makes sense.
Since I have you here, could they not all summon on top of each other, making it look like one super-totem in term of # if projectiles instead of 3-5 individual? Would solve the summoning issue, the navmesh (I think, I'm not a dev :D), and would provide all the benefits that you would want it for. I'm almost positive I've summoned a totem inside of another before (storm totem is much wider than the others).
Yes, they could not all summon on top of each other. That causes fairly significant visual issues.
There are functional reasons why this isn't something we have done. The order that the mana cost and ability creation happens in requires the full cost to be charged regardless. The way that minions are summoned and how the navmesh works means that adjusting the shape on the fly is an expensive operation that can cause sever bugs in select situations. While we would like to improve this situation, the only way to fix the problem would be to remove the nodes all together.
Well they did confirm the removal of Tempest Strike in the future. Count your blessings. :D
Well not really, it's being redesigned and having its role changed. The skill isn't being removed.
They are naturally synergistic nodes as the weapons scale off your weapon.
YoYoing between different values doesnt sound very good to be honest. Especially in cases where one player heavily scales a buff and the other one does not.
Never feels good when another player essentially can reduce your power. I suppose one can argue that players need to coordinate this but most players wont even suspect that is what happens. The strongest buff winning is kinda the expected behavior.
This effect is consistent across all stat changing effects. Picking the "best" one to be the overriding buf is impossible to get right every time so consistency is used so players can know what to expect.
If we picked the more powerful version sometimes and the longer remaining duration other times and the newer one in other situations, people wouldn't be able to predict what's going on.
This is also the best option for performance because we don't have to check anything.
How does temporal sanctum in a team work? Who gets to make a legendary?
Everyone gets to make their own.
I don't know if I've seen this reported on our bug reports forum or not. I know it's not wide spread and we would probably need more data to be able to reproduce it and then fix it.
There are a ton of just general fixes and optimizations coming to every department so it might have been incidentally fixed. Will have to wait and see on the 9th.
This was a bug that has been fixed.
As a separate aura question - what stats from Dread Shades "Symbiotic Apparition" are given to players?
Do players get necrotic damage and %increased necrotic damage?
Or do players get the aforementioned buffs and the buffs granted from nodes like Dying Coven, Duskheart, Lingering Doom, Vile Ghast, Martyrdom, and Grim Fate?
I'm sorry I don't know all those nodes off the top of my head. I think it just adds the player to the list of things that can be affected alongside minions.
Thanks for detailed response and transparency!
if both are providing the same stat at different power levels, it will yoyo between the different values.
Is it the desired outcome and something you (so far) plan to stick with, or is it more of a limitation of current implementation and you want to eventually change it to behave differently?
We are happy with how it is working.
That makes it sound like judgement aura's healing for example would double dip along with anything else that grants hp/mp etc. Aura A is applied and ticks a heal, then aura B is applied and ticks a different heal followed by A etc. Is that correct?
Well no but actually yes?
Judgement doesn't apply stat buffs to heal so the description of holy aura above doesn't apply. However, because it is just healing, if they overlap, you can get the effect of 2 at once.
I‘m back my friend and i‘m so sorry xD
I don‘t know how i could even miss the mouse hotkey field :D
Given how you aren't the first person to have this happen, it's on us too. It probably needs some visual updates to make this more obvious. Maybe some sort of detection to see that you're trying to assign a mouse button to the wrong field and a popup to tell you would be good.
Glad you got it sorted.
Each stat buff included in holy aura is handed individually. If an effect grants a stat and the actor(player or minion) already has that stat buff from the same type of source (e.g. holy aura) it overrides the old one.
So if you apply 2 holy auras, they effectively combine into one holy aura that uses the unique stats from each and the overlap stats from both 1 time (not double dipping).
Holy Aura applies over and over every half second or so. It doesn't care which one is more powerful so if both are providing the same stat at different power levels, it will yoyo between the different values.
so there will be no way to trade rune of ascension upgraded uniques until resonance comes out?
yes
1) yes
1a) no
2) yes (no)
2a) no, that's a new item
3) we're working on this, I'm not sure if it's in yet. It's very close if not.
Maybe i‘m just failing tbh hahaha
I will answer again when i‘m home from work
We can be failing together, my initial reply sounded so sarcastic because my phone auto-corrected "Did" -> "Dude"
