we are GGG, we dont want to fix real bugs, we want to ruin farming methods and make new microtransaction items.

As much as I wish I could disagree with this... I just can't. I was about to drop $100 on this game today but if this is the quality of patches that I'm going to expect rather than fixes on current bugs and polishing over what is ALREADY in the game, then I'm holding my support until I see a change.


I truly hope Chris and crew take heed, you are making your player base pretty upset.


Bugs that need immediate attention:

Summon Skele totem lag at initial cast

Massive particles remaining on screen

When running to catch up to party members, particles appear out of thin air (i.e. fireballs that were cast by party members when they were off screen)

Multiple texture fixes to end game maps

Knocking mobs into the walls with heavy strike, rendering them unhittable and losing out on loot.

Desync issues with increased movement speed



I could name numerous more... yet what gets changed? 1 Diamond supporter brings up multi-clienting to Chris and it gets bumped up to a priority patch. Is this what it will take to get the other bugs fixed Chris? Should we all donate $1000 to be heard before the major issues get fixed?

I see why you're mad but you need to understand that some things are easier to fix than others. I'm sure that GGG is aware of most of the issues and is working on them.



You don't get it, I know the diamond supporter who brought this multi-boxing issue up with Chris, I can even ask him for the skype conversation. This patch wasn't suppose to happen for awhile but Chris pushed it out faster cause of the conversation with 1 Diamond Supporter via Skype.


Chris knows who I'm talking about, I'm not going to name anyone but I think it's bullshit that this is how patches work.

Great patch. Perhaps its a bit too much that death will remove loot from bosses or using TP to refill potions removes loot too. I love the anti multibox, ninja, and chest runners. All they want is to get more gear/currency, you can't blame them. I see they are suggesting a /player command.

I am really torn between /player command or not. I already barely join groups, I know I would almost never join a party if /player was implemented. Perhaps a limit of /player 3 that acts as multiplier no matter what? Playing by myself, /player 3 would make it like its a party of 3. Doing a duo with a friend, /player 3 mimics 6 player party. Want to make an uberman challenge for 6 lvl 80 players, doing /player 3 would make it an 18 player party.

What you really want is monster power.

"Item drops from monsters are now calculated based on the number of players nearby rather than the number in the instance. The quantity of drops is based on the minimum of the number of players who were around at the start and end of the fight. This means that if you spawn a boss alone before bringing in friends to help (or if the friends leave during the fight) then it will only drop enough items for one person."

What in the hell? What is "nearby"?

I solo 6 person Fellshrine to farm loot, yes I kill not just "chest". Now I have no clue what to do to farm.

And apparently, this isn't impacting multiboxers. I guess I need to start multiboxing.

I use and abuse multi-clienting. This patch does nothing to me.

OH NOES I NEED TO USE A TP NOW TO BRING MULES INTO VAAL BEFORE SPAWNING HIM.

Seriously, all this affects is end game map farming, chest exploiting at fellshrine, and currency runs at Ledge.

I'm still going to have an unlimited amount of alterations that i can trade up into any other orb, or use them to craft. All you're doing is making end game less appealing and farming Vaal even more profitable.

Watch GGG remove loot table from vaal now :)

99% of the items that drop are already absolute trash, you'll just be hurting the players who don't multi-client to fix multiclienting.


Solution: INTRODUCE /PLAYER X command.

Removes all need for people to multiclient and does not give an advantage to anyone, everyone is at the same playing field.


I still won't party people due to the amount of disrespect I see in parties, I would rather solo than join any party. RNG is absolute bs even when playing with friends... play for 5+ hours, all crap drops, then an amazing item drops and it goes to one person while the other 4-5 friends feel like their time just got wasted and have slight feelings of resentfulness. It just doesn't foster good relations.


Whatever this post will just get lost in the crowd. I could say a lot more but what's the point? I'm going to get flamed by most, some will agree, and others will ignore.

/Player X please if you are going to make this change.........

The 33% reduction in Cyclone's travel time should be reflected by it's mana cost, imo. It now costs 33% more mana per (unit of time) to use...

Maybe I am wrong but it just says reduced the minimum distance to click. You can still click way far away for one mana skill cost. The cyclone changes sound about perfect, maybe needed more % dmg but we will see. Now it will behave more like D2's WW. I think they just borrowed the min range mechanics from lightning warp when they made the skill.

Oh I have everything. 15 dock run for 1 map is f**** ridiculous. Most map does drop map but you get down to 0 eventually. Level 79 now and map drop rate is simply unacceptable. Highest map I've ever ran is a puny level 70 map that I facerolled it...

I basically stopped playing until GGG fix this thing (or a better game comes along)

But still, the fact some people seem to have more maps than everyone else implies there is a bug somewhere.

Before: Have afk leave portal at pyramid entrance, have all afks enter pyramid entrance, rush Vaal, profit.

After: Have afk leave portal at pyramid entrance, rush vaal, enter afks through a portal at vaal, profit.

So, the difference is...?

Im not sure there is a diff. the semi pros will carry on and the guys trying to scrap a little currency will get the shaft.

I was thinking what about the dead player will he still get loot. lets say just before death Vaal kills player b. will player be lose out on loot? Not really sure I even care anymore.

Everyone would lose out on some loot as far as I can tell. The loot quantity will drop since that player isn't present when the boss is killed (They are in town)

So, whatever. It sucks, because I was doing it all within the rules and now its back to playing maps solo and finding nothing, ever.

If the game was better optimized maybe we could do parties more...............................

Snipped out the non logic about hardcore.

If it was all so groovy and harmless they wouldn't have added code to hamper it. Unbalancing the economy because of a few greedy people who multibox is obviously not how they wanted it to work.

WHY THE HELL mobs even spawn with extra hp because of party members, but does not spawns with extra quantity?
