3.19.0c Patch Notes and Update on Community Feedback

I can only hope the changes coming are MONUMENTOUS, because as it stands, AN is ruining the game. It has been since you force fed this idea to us that it will be a good thing to replace all rare mods with "clearer more defined modifiers" but now I need to know an entire dictionary of phrases? Why was it so bad to have clearly typed out modifiers on the mob itself that just said what it did? Now I have no clue, and just have to assume what each implied meaning of these phrases is?

Revert the implimentation of AN and bring back rares. We need a fix to bring back Headhunter like yesterday.

Make them spawn with maximum of 2 AN mods, but the rare would also have its normal modifiers.

Make those mods never allow similar catagory of buff, so if it has a damage modifier, then 2nd mod would be a defensive one, etc.

Make most rares NOT spawn with AN and would have their normal modifiers

make 10% of the rares spawn with Archnemesis, similar to any previous map mechanic chance to spawn in the map. Or inversely, make them more common in the map 10% of the time, similar to map masters, and do not spawn them at all otherwise.

Give them back their rewards tables. Make them rewarding to kill.

CLASSİC!!!
nerf to the ground, then give back %10 of the nerfs. you are not fooling anyone anymore.

Bad. Honestly patch without talking about it in the development manifest, patch half behind but in the end it's not better. Very disappointed with GGG and this patch that could have been very good. stop making the base content something even harder than it already is by wanting to challenge the big player. make the end game content more difficult but not the mapping where you get destroyed by a random rare mob while you have good defense layers. I don't recommend this game because it's absolutely inaccessible when you're not a veteran player

like what @Destroptic said:

Guys, if you do anything look at how your community is talking about mechanics and the feel of the game. Is it really worth it to double down on some of the things such as archnemesis when the playerbase has said over and over that the mechanic wasn't good when it was just a league mechanic and now it is everywhere in the game. The fact that getting an exalt is no longer an exciting thing is massively dissapointing and feels terrible. The fact that you cannot divine virtually any unique items and this can make getting that last bit of stat or ele res or something nigh impossible in some situations. The fact that you cannot acquire the premium currency in hardly any way aside from random drops and one unfarmable divination card. The fact that going from the campaign where you can smash the bosses then getting wrecked by a 3 mod archnemeis rare with 10x the damage and health of Kitava. All of these things seem so obvious from the player standpoint but the devs feel very detached from these issues. I love this game despite my current negative stance and I feel that in the past the dev team has made great changes and done well in communicating with the community. But right now it just feels in the last few leagues that has not been the case and as a player who really loves the depth of this game it feels heartbreaking to watch the game fall this far. I am hoping with all my might that this league can be saved and that the game can maintain the standards it set in the past. I don't even have an ARPG to fall back on so if this goes I guess I'm done with the genre. Good luck to the devs and I hope you do great work. I know that you are capable.

im just here to see the disaster

They made a good game by accident and now Chris's "vision" killed it.

When should we start buying tickets to Exile Con?

The only way to save any good will you have left with the community is to remove Archnemesis.

It was poorly received when it was its own league, it's only gotten worse.

it is obvious that the archemisis of mechanics is a problem. You are writhing in a frying pan and trying to sell this mechanic to the players.

Remove Archnemesis mechanics. Fully. Forever and ever.

Just delete archnemesis already lol
