Are you serious??
I did not run low maps because I wanted, I ran low maps because I could not sustain high level maps and all maps I was able to sustain gave me 2% anyway... And now you nerf map drops and then say "This is to encourage players to run content appropriate for their high level."?? Seriously I´m pissed.

You missed the part where investing in maps actually now pays off with more consistent map drops, and that 68-73 is an easily sustainable range.

The main reason for this change is to prevent people from reaching 100 too fast. Before, it took no-lifer streamer approx 7-10 days.. now it will take 15ish.

Also, map drops in general were cut across the board 74+, especially in 78+ tier. If you ever want to run your character to 100 in the new leagues, you'll be doing 77- maps like 90% of the time, unless you succumb to RMTing or other aspects.

Yep.

The majority of the players (who cap probably around 90), will see no difference. Still going to be getting 15% xp from 73 maps. Which are no problem to sustain now with the +2 base pool and generally easier sustain of low-tier maps.

allahu akabr

i have few questions:

1. in submit divination cards challenge there are 47 card sets and it says submit 25/28 sets, what is wrong here, to many counted sets or is 25/28 wrong?

2. nothing said about divination cards, as in do they drop only in specific zones, or they drop in all zones and maps, only some zones have a lot bigger chance to drop them?

3. "Concentrated Effect: Now functions multiplicatively with other area of effect." - is this buff or nerf to conc effect dmg?

4. Is zana nerfed, and what map levels can she give at level 8?

5. how long will leagues last? - i understand if you dont want to say how long will they last, all i wanna know if you will say how long will they last or you wont.

6. is enlighten max level still 3 (corrupted 4) and is exp needed to get to level 3 still the same?

7. how bad is immortal call nerf?...is it worth it to self cast enduring and then immortal,? if it last like 1 sec with 3 charges, then its not worth it, but if it lasts like 3 sec with inc duration then it is worth it imo.

8. will there be jewels with increased aoe rolls?

dis ez gud

"Projectile skills no longer "shotgun". You can't hit the same target with more than one simultaneously-created projectile from the same source any more. They've been rebalanced around this."

(1)So If I have spark with pierce and faster projectiles GMP and the 2 sets of increased skill duration can only ONE of the projectiles EVER hit the same target?
(2)Even if they bounce off a wall or something?
(3)And does this mean the SAME projectile(if it pierces) hits the same target 2+ times?

* I believe you're mistaken; though it would need verification, spark always had a 'reset' mechanic that would allow it, everytime it changes direction (i.e all the time, pretty much), to be treated as a 'new' projectile, and as a side effect, allow shotgun. Now maybe it was changed but i believe it was still the case recently in beta when they removed shotguning (can't find the sources right now but i'm pretty sure).

* Spark still got a 76% dmg buff, thats not nothing.

* Don't, ever, use GMP or LMP with spark, that's just plain terrible (maybe the new LMP, but i'm not even sure).

omg, what the info!
