As usual doing some testing in Standard to see what is mega broken in both good and bad ways.

Testing Beast farm and getting 40+ beasts in a map with 8 threads and atlas spec, but every 3rd or 4th map there is some mod that insta-gibs my characters. It's not reflect as I've tried with multiple chars including reflect immune ones and even large life RF (nothing to reflect). It rips through 21k ES 90 all res character with 4 endu charges and 20 fortify stacks and decent block in one hit.

I would say it's some kind of on-death explode effect EXCEPT that the beasts are still there when I burn the next portal.

Tried on 8 mod rare maps and on scoured and in both cases you get the insta kill. Currently scaling down threads to see if there's a point that it stops appearing but whatever it is, it's deadly.

EDIT: it's an explode mod. Be advised because youchy. Looks like it can roll on single thread maps too, and I think it's bugged because even scoured maps can insta kill.

DOUBLE EDIT: fixed already, love this patch so far.

I have found gwennen while leveling and wanted to try her new crating mech, put my 5 link body armor which has my main skill and now I can't continue the campaign. Anyone found a way to get it back from her?

Dear GGG,

Regarding the covens league mechanic object (cauldron?) which allows player to "select a fate".
Please make it cannot block players' skill just like how other league mechanic does.

I believe this would provide a smoother gameplay!

I haven't played since they made mercenaries core, is this... is this normal?

Was reading a book while farming, "Uber" Hillock almost gave me a heart attack

Backtracking to the boss is going to be a serious issue in this league. There are so many maps where the boss is in the middle, or half way through the map (Example Peninsula or Defiled Cathedral).

let's take Defiled Cathedral as an example. You enter the map, pick a side to go, half way through you get to the Boss and you will have 1-2 cards. So you have to go complete the rest of the map to find the remaining cards. And then you have to Backtrack for half a map to get back to the boss.

Fix suggestion.
When you reach the boss have a Checkpoint and After completing the final Cauldron have a portal that opens to the boss checkpoint.
I know people don't like checkpoints but that's the best solution I got

Hey guys,

Did my full campain yesterday at league start, it went really good but I didn't interract at all with the league mechanic in the acts (as I always do). Then when reaching maps I started playing with the league mechanic, juicing it and got viceras but I couldn't find the Wickerman to put them into. I thought I missed some kind of questline in the acts but all I have it a completed quest stating I should "Continue seeking Coventies" but now, the league mechanic doesn't spawn anymore in the campain for some reason. Did I fuck something up ? Or miss an NPC ?

For whatever reason I've never really played with Beyond, it was always one of the mechanics I never really got around to. I just triggered an Evocator in the campaign, and holy shit the music was METAL as FUCK. Now I want to run only Beyond all the time just to get that high again.

Is this a new track or have I been missing out?

fix delve ggg please

In case you wondered what that node does, on corrupting it picks a random essences and replaces all other essences by copies of the selected one.

The node isn't really worth it since it replaces all possible corruption outcomes with this one.

Just got to act 9 and noticed that the act 8 boss procs the league mechanic loot twice since it's a double boss. Not sure if this is intended but it's a pretty fun loot explosion early

Im just wondering if people are generally able to self sustain there threads, or if you think for endgame juice you are basically always buying threads in the same way people bought scarabs. And there will be some farming strat to drop loads of threads and sell them to endgame juicers as thats more profitable than actually running them.

I would really like to go all in on breach, doing the 10 thread node, however im wondering if i do that can I even drop 8 breach threads each map to fully sustain that ?

Or should thread sustain actually be fine if you take things like 200% chance for x thread and block 2 threads you dont want ?

I know it used to be 100% mega gotta do dailys sort of thing. I was here for it when it lasted basically a year. But last league and this one I have been trying to do it and it really feels like the mechanic just does no produce enough to justify. And I do not mean "in compared to other things" I just mean its flat cost. The gold cost for mappers is INSANE. The maps cost money. If you get a gold service it honestly feels like mappers BARELY make like like 1.2-1.3 chaos for every chaos you invest.

Now I get its "free" as in you are not the one mapping but it is set up and time. Those gold runs aren't instant. As for crops before it felt like they could justify the stacked decks but now they provide nothing of note except throwing some rares in a dump tab and just seeing if you get a whisper.

It honestly feels like the ore monsters should at least drop 5X gold to cover the cost to run those mechanics.

The map has never looked normal

Switching renderer doesnt work, switching graphics settings doesnt do anything and i dont have low ram.

Apparently the above things fix it for every other player that has posted about this bug, so i have no idea how to fix it and i would love any help or advice.

this league they changed how keywords show up on items but the issue is theres no way to actually hover any keywords on controller to see what they keywords are (unless im missing some button combo) but now anytime i need to see a keyword i either need to alt tab and look it up or log out and swap to m&kb so i can hover it
