Nice hotfix, it’s good but not trying to be groundbreaking and change everything from the last patch.
Morgo Gloves no longer boosts SS. Bonemonger fire to Aether is it global or just Inquisitor Seal? If it’s global isn’t a good change cause will screw the tri - elemental builds.
Extra Blade Spirits and Deathguard are nice changes for sure.
First off, props for the Blade Spirit change. I really couldn’t care less about that conduit mod getting changed but a lot of people did and this is a deceptively elegant solution that should make most everyone happy.
Second, I really can’t stress enough how awesome all these conversion fx are, and what a difference they make for my enjoyment of the game. Please never stop making them (and also if we can get an updated fx for cold Firestrike I can die a happy man).
Third, I still think Wind Devils should be permanent like Blade Spirits, but this is a great step forward in the quality of life department.
It feels weird to be so excited over a hotfix but these are seriously good changes.
Is there any explanation as to why totems are suddenly incredibly scarce and I can see none from Aetherial portals at all? In fact, I’m finding far fewer of them suddenly. I will do more tests, but this isn’t looking good. If it’s intentional, fine, but no mention of a change to the frequency or location of the totems was to be found in the patch here. It had to be this patch, too, as of this morning I was still finding them like normal, and now suddenly cannot.
EDIT: I am finding the actual totems now just by looking in the spots where I was seeing them before. It seems the fix to the sync between server and client now properly “hides” totems in fog of war. If this is intended functionality, then I ask, why? Isn’t there a better way to fix it? Maybe make totems a little harder or make the fights last a bit longer? Fixing the game to allow for the “desired level of tedium” seems like a poor choice. In fact, it further buffs builds that have multiple movement skills over other builds, because they can re-explore to find the totems faster. Since those builds are never really put at any disadvantage versus builds with 1 or fewer move skill in any other way, it doesn’t make sense to make the 1 or fewer move-skill builds even worse overall in this way. In fact, I’ve wondered this about a lot of the content in the game. Is there any effort being made to create some means of play where builds with less movement abilities aren’t disproportionately disadvantaged at all times?
Don’t take the criticism as anything more than a passing muse. I love the game. I just figured I’d pose some questions that might have interesting answers and promote the improvement of the game overall.
The only reason I mentioned what I did in my edit is that I’ve seen decisions like this made in other games and was wondering if that’s the intent here. Honestly, I would understand if it was, as those totems are giving very easy and fast access to loot that would otherwise require longer grind and/or higher difficulty content. The best feature of them is their accessibility, so I was hoping if they got “changed” it would be their difficulty or duration, not their accessibility.
Also, wow that was a fast reply. I keep telling people I play PoE with that Grim Dawn is a great alternative for whenever they get tired of the current league, and one-by-one I’m getting them to try it out slowly. You guys keep giving us more and more reasons to spread the word. Thanks a lot!
