Please make them random for all levels, just like Zana does. Tilesets will not be random. Dungeon will always be 68, Mountain Ledge always 69, etc. Did GGG say that? I can't see any reason why. I mean, creating random tilesets with random levels is already in the game, but available only in Zana maps. Also in some other master's maps but mini versions.

" Temp Chains It doesn't roll on corrupted zones or maps <74 anymore, so there's that. (none of the curses do) I'm proud I made the build that got hotfix nerfed by 80% in under a week : Kamikaze Clones /1204796 (LL Mirror Arrow Instability Prolif)	Posted by PepprmintButler on Jun 26, 2015, 3:15:54 AM Quote this Post

What was the point to even bother with whole beta thing then? Also changes to blue pack mod is horrendous. Bloodlines was already second worst addition to the game after invasion mechanics and now you enforcing it. Good job GGG. Think I'll run my maps white now. If I'll be playing in 2.0 at all.

It's pretty hard to introduce "broken" map mods. Bloodlines was one of the best things to happen, imho. Except for Necrovigil/P-Link, anyway. Made my map experience much more fun. Same for Invasion. I don't 100% agree with it being forced, if you want magic packs, but it does fall in line with the risk-reward schema they're introducing, so I'm alright with it as long as the system itself improves the general consistency of low-to-mid tier map pools.

This is just... I for the live of me don't understand why I'd want more mobs when I'm being directly de-buffed by the map. That's like double-dipping but in the worst possible way. +pack size is almost never a bad thing. It's something you want, whenever possible, because its essentially an exp AND loot "more" multiplier. The vast majority of the lethal enemies in the game aren't more dangerous in larger packs, they're just lethal because of what they are. The only exceptions are devourers and leapers/chargers, but my understanding is that leapers and chargers are far less likely to dogpile all at once than they used to be. Yup.
