Hi

I would enjoy it if GGG focused on making the game more smoother and less choppy, all these new skills,MTX doesn't change the attitudes of many. Also what happened to Cheap affordable MTX? all of them average over 100pts now...Not going to pay 10 bucks+ to have something that is going to clip with my gear.


Cheers

Yes, because the same people work on all those things, therefore working on one takes away from the others.

Bloody idiots.

I'm not sure how necessary the change to Smoke Mine was... What exactly is the change trying to accomplish? Was it really that overpowered to be able to pull your minions out of a dangerous situation? Minion AI is abysmal -- they're always going down/up stairs that you walk by, taking different paths than you, and getting stuck on terrain (especially in maps with narrow pathways). There needs to be some way to direct your minions around, or even recall them. Only being able to influence which monsters they choose to attack is not enough. GGG should allow us to bind a key (not on the skill bar) that allows us point our minions where to move, a key that allows us to recall our minions to our position (bypassing collision/walls/etc. -- with a short cast time, so reckless minion positioning still has a consequence), and a key to let us toggle between passive (how they behave when you have the Grace Period buff - so that they don't kamikaze into a Sunburst Queens' Incinerate Nova while we attack from range) and aggressive (normal) behavior. Removing the ability to recall minions with Smoke Mine is akin to removing the ability to /OOS -- removing a workaround to a serious flaw in the game.

On the balance changes to Undying Evangelists: As monsters, these changes were absolutely needed. As spectres, this change only punishes lower level characters and their non-high-level-map spectres. Spectres from a Palace map will have enough life to survive high incoming damage, even without bubbles -- Scepter of God spectres will not. I would argue that the best thing about the bubble is the increased survivability it gives the minion. The buff on the player is nice, but not completely dependable (e.g. Wonka). Higher level players are probably less dependent on the bubble for their own personal survivability. How about a less RNG based nerf to Evangelists: having the bubble provide a 50% reduction to incoming direct damage that originates from outside the bubble, instead of complete immunity, while leaving the duration and frequency the same.

If i got everything right, the combination of evangelists shield and being able to pull them to you immediatly made a very overpowerd build, that was basically immortal.
GGG recognized that (after the same guy won 3 one weeks with it, i belief), panicked, and nerfed every aspect that contributed to its opness

Someone suggested a means to command minions in smaller ways, and I was wondering if assigning a hotkey with the ability to call minions to the cursor point or simply too your position would be a good idea. we already have mine detonation hotkey'd in a similar way, so a simple command would be pretty handy. It'd be a nice quality of life buff to summoner builds

This is in the game, now. It's called the shift key.

Hold down shift, click somewhere, and off they go.

I couldn't figure how this worked until i realised i can't have Move Only set on my left click!

Not sure what the recipe is supposed to be.

I'll take a guess and say they added one or more items to use for the recipe, probably an armor piece.
