Did you guys fix the problem where Wisp empowered Beasts during mapping or levelling when being captured, can retain the wisps empowerment into the menagerie??

This probably isn't a bug.

For example, if you capture a ghosted Beast, it retains the ghost in the menagerie as well.

THIS! This has always been a thing where whatever the Beast is effected by will stick with it when it's captured. That's why you have to be careful sometimes when buying beasts because they can be ghosted with multiple ghosts and rock that ass and by the time you realize it it's already too late. lol

I lost 15 divines due to a random crash in Heist (Simplex Amulet). This is VERY off-putting as early on this is a hell of a lot of currency to improve the build. Thanks GGG devs for not testing your game and learning from the past experience or not listening to feedback from the testers.

Valdo's ingenious designs, you say?

Overtuning the mobs have been going on from Synthesis. This time it is on another level. The mechanic is playable in the campaign, so should in theory be engaged with characters having subpar gear. I restarted with an absolute powerhouse (a supreme meta build) for the very first time and yes then it is doable. But for a game touting build diversity, it is not the wisest to balance the entire game around the most powerful builds. It makes it so people are forced to play the meta. If a new player tries to make his first thematic build, he will surely suffer.

+1 the game is balanced around the 0.1% doing the same supreme meta builds.

do an off-meta and get rekt. I don't even know if they playtest the game as players were discovering that EA and PConc were NOT working on launch.

Affliction is fun, but blue wisps barely visible and GGG you need to do some thing with minimap, it's completely useless in Wildwood.

And of course monsters are overtuned, but it's every time like that...

I'm really looking forward to the predictable surprise and anger when the more helpful members of the community have their well-geared characters sent to void league because they try to help someone with a map not realizing they're trying to help a troll and the map is this new pay-to-grief bullshit.

EDIT: Apparently the void-on-death maps have a warning modal pop up before you enter the map, which explains the perma-death nature of the modifier on the map and allows you to cancel out of entering. While I'm still not a fan of that map modifier, my main objections to it (that people could miss/misread the modifier on the map item, or that people could be tricked into unknowingly entering maps with that modifier) are adequately addressed by the warning modal.

Affliction is not bad at all.

The issue is players juicing content before their build/gear is ready to do the content.

Same complaints the first weekend every league. Especially after finishing ToTA with massive power just a week ago.

It’s tough going back to square one.

This.

And also the fact that the current generation is generation of whiners.

TIL campaign areas and white maps with one or two non-rippy mods = juiced content

Beside the core packs will we have league supporter packs?

The wisps collected juice up mobs in the zone after you leave the wildwood like sentinels did.

So one can empower rares and unique mobs which make them hit harder and live longer.

Bosses can get particularly rough if one doesn’t have the gear to burn them down.

Wake up and take a red candy.
This is the first league where GGG screwed up even in the campaign.
I have never died so much in any of the previous leagues, and the rewards are WHITE and BLUE things. Why does Ruthless exist if they give us something like this?

It's so cute that you think that.
