It's a good change. There were too many unoriginal or generic chaos dot/dot clusters on the tree. Changing one's effects while nerfing it's total damage is good for the game.
Yes, my understanding is that the idea was to provide more variety in which clusters are available on the tree and have fewer duplicates.
I need someone smarter than me to say if its a buff or a nerf.
Wow, this is a blast from the past!
It's sad that GGG doesn't currently invest nearly any resources to create mid-league events/races, other than minimal support to the community in the form of mtx prizes here and there. I really wish GGG would hire a few more people to try to bolster race events, they are IMO the most exciting PoE content on twitch. Absolutely loved all the races over the last few weeks and looking forward to the race tomorrow. Sadly GGG has absolutely double triple quadrupled down on "4 seasons predictably per year is the best business decision!!!!!!". Can't we get a little bit on the side too?
There has always been a lot of interest in racing in games on twitch and I honestly don't understand why they aren't trying to do more.
We actually did hire someone to help work on races but because our border is closed we can’t get them into NZ.
It's not final yet but it's likely to be around 15 to 20.
cyclone cast on crit earthquake? that doesn't sound balanced
what about cast on crit consecrated path? that would be fun, for about 30 seconds
We're not talking cast on crit - more specifically about the suggestion that a slam triggers with Leap Slam's use.
Thats awesome. Does GGG have a place I can check out their artists' portfolios?
I don't have a compiled list of all of the artists portfolios but you can find more of Jowie's work here.
It's not possible to trigger slams... yet. This idea was popular with our team. We don't know if it's feasible (certainly not for 3.11) but we will explore it.
u/Mark_GGG Hey does leap slam use an exert charge from a war cry? I'm worried about using my war cry and then leaping away my exerts while travelling.
Yes. Exerting Leap slam with Seismic Cry is my planned build for 3.11.0
Is she full time GGG staff? I've got to say all these rewards look amazing and I'm considering doing 36 for the first time.
Yep.
bex what build are you playing?
I’m feeling pretty compelled to try Earthquake with Fist of War and Brain Rattler. I don’t know how good it will be but the small amount of play testing I’ve done with Earthquake and Fist of War has been really satisfying.
The team members who designed that portal deserve some serious kudos, its very appealing.
The artist who made the concept for it also did many of the concepts for the Glimmerwood microtransactions as well as many of our most popular microtransaction designs. Shout out to Jowie! Her work is consistently great.
Edit: I just found out these concepts were shared between Jowie and another one of our artists, Paul Shut!
Bex, when we will finally get the rewards for 40 challanges? Unique armour set or something like that? 40 challanges is really hard to finish. We need some motivation.
This one is tricky because we want to leave room for people to choose not to do some challenges if they don't want to. If we add a reward then people feel like they 'have' to do them all.
Didn't that happen literally once (Rigwalds)? Is this a meme?
We did this several times but Talisman was the last league where this happened. We changed it because say you only complete half of your challenges, you'd only end up with boots and gloves which is pretty dissatisfying. Now we only use 'whole' microtransactions as rewards so that there is something usable for each stage of challenge completion.
So does you posting this today mean there's something else on Monday/Sunday?
Yep, we post news five days a week! We haven't missed a day in the better part of a decade so we won't start now :P
