Announcements - 3.12.3 Patch Notes Preview - Forum

Since we don't seem to be getting a guard alert rework back to functional norms, can we get an explanation/manifesto why this mechanic was thrown out on the fourth day, rather than iterated upon?	Posted by Obbu#1525 on Oct 2, 2020, 2:57:49 AM Quote this Post
Once again much too late	Posted by Merion89#2944 on Oct 2, 2020, 3:08:13 AM Quote this Post
Every time you nerf one thing more then 1 time its RIP. So: 1 flat + seconds from 10 to 5 2 increase timers from 20% to 10% 3 and opening chests from 1s to 3 seconds 4 Isla,increased time before Lockdown from 80% to 50%. Toxic comment. I hope im wrong.

Not sure if I'm excited or not reading about new patch. " Reduced the maximum length of a Heist in higher level areas. The number of Reward Rooms remains unchanged. Reduced the number of Heist Job Doors along the path to the primary objective in Heists. The most important Heist balance changes are unclear and can be evaluated only when patch is out.

" sean8328 wrote: Nice changes but are the crashes that still are plaguing grand heists ever going to get addressed??? +1 what is the actual point of heist "improvements" when so many players can't complete heists due to the constant crashes and kicks to desktop. these should be the priority (not just 1 line at the bottom of the patch notes saying fixed an instance crash). each league they get worse. and before all the fan boys jump down my throat, get yourself on the bug reports forum and read all of the bugs relating to instance crashes and the players who list their high end PC specs that its happening to.

Yet another reason I never rush at the start and will never do PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fan-made fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

Guys, who raging it is too late, Believe me, GGG developers and QAs are working 12h/day including weekend to bring up that stuff as fast as possible. If you rushed a 3-month league in 1 week and now crying that coming changes are too late and you already done - that's only your problems. PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fan-made fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

" The "additional seconds to Lockdown Timer" modifier on Ally Equipment now gives a maximum of 5 seconds (from 10 seconds). Existing items are affected by this change. The "increased time before Lockdown" modifier on Ally Equipment now gives a maximum of 10% increased time before Lockdown (from 20%). Existing items are affected by this change. Isla, the Engineer's Heist Perk now gives 30% increased time before Lockdown at Level 1, up to 50% increased time before Lockdown at Level 5 (from 80% at Level 5). Opening a Heist chest during the Imminent Lockdown timer will now reduce the remaining time by 3 seconds (from 1 second). So even less rewards now. Yaaaaaaay. Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.	Posted by Ydoum#5726 on Oct 2, 2020, 4:43:43 AM Quote this Post
