New masteries was a given with an expansion, glad it looks like there will be 2 though even if we have no idea what they are. I’m interested in what they’re going to do with increased level caps though.
Increased level caps with the same dual-class system is going to lead to just capping out two masteries, which isn’t particularly exciting.
On the other hand… maybe they have tri-classing in the works, or extending the current masteries. Personally if they added the ability to tri-class at level 85 and increased the cap to say 120 that would lead to some very interesting combinations. That would lead to 56 possible class variations…
The naming convention would be an issue but they could easily get around that by having the 3rd mastery add a prefix/suffix. E.g. Spellbreaker + Demolitionist = Fire Spellbreaker. Saboteur +Arcanist = Arcane Saboteur. Etc.
It will not cause capping 2 masteries for most of the builds because in most cases it is more effective putting extra points to unlocked abilities of lesser priority or overcapping something that was just maxed before. E.g. I have 85lvl Warder and Spellbreaker, and I have plans to distribute 10-15 points among the existing skills easily.
Hitting 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 over and over again is boring !
Making some powers passively attack is much more fun.
Especially if you have multiple Transmuters so you are allowed to make the same passive attack skills behave very differently (AOE/Single target/Multiple missiles/Cluster projectiles/Aura damage/Piercing in a strait line/On being hit/On attacking with spells) etc.
Less micromanagement !
Marvel Heroes 2017 game for example has plenty of skills that work passively, brilliantly. (original D1-D2 developers)
Not trying to offend, but have you tried playing with a single mastery?
Because in my own experience a Soldier can definitely clear Ultimate.
I know someone here cleared the game and was kind enough to post a build with pure Demolitionist
The game is built around Dual-masteries, i don’t see how that is boring. If anything a single mastery being able to wipe the floor will be boring and defeat the purpose of dual-mastery system.
If you want to play a good single-mastery focused game then there are others out there (Torchlight perhaps?)
Already, testing is closed!!! So, most likely, by this weekend, or next week, one hundred pounds already should appear!!! But rather, this week, at the end, somewhere!!!
Do not you think that it is time to release an update, or are you preparing still, that scale, for the new year???
If there is one rogalyova dungeon, and a couple of things, why so long on something, or all the same, it will arrive together with the extension of the first???
If not, the extension of the campaign, we’ll do next year, but wait for???
At least some news to give, whether that, about the forthcoming update!!!
Or tell me right now, here when approximately to wait???
You’ll need to wait and read the Misadventures like everyone else I imagine. The next one is on the 21st of this month, and every other week after.
Whatever information they deem time to discuss concerning the next patch will likely appear first in a Misadventure and they are prone to dropping the bomb if something is in testing (or even maybe would soon be heading that way) so that people will know it isn’t far off.
They almost never ever give concrete dates concerning the release of anything. Don’t worry we are all excited about the stuff in the works also but we’ve learned to be patient with the knowledge that they haven’t let us down yet.
