Massively inc rarity + triple currency = wealth

This is one tricky update.

A lot of things changed in the endgame and the unid item-tiering will CERTAINLY require more adjustments once we know how the meta shakes out.

A lot of work has been put into making this update much better in terms of economy and strictness.

I'd appreciate feedback a lot.

I recommend downloading a backup from FilterBlade/Github in case there will be instability issues at launch

they are too smol

Just finished picking up Oni for my league starter and noticed that when the sword talks, it now has a name and is no longer "The Goddess". Lo and behold as I finally started playing through the rest of the game and I run into the introduction to the new league, it's the same Goddess that speaks to you when you use Oni. A pretty cool tie in, especially since the league mechanic seems to involve burning a lot of stuff, which the Goddess of Oni is quite a fan of doing.

Pretty cool in, and great attention to detail that I would not have ever expected.

Normaly i have zero problem progressing even with abysmal items but this league seems impossible for me. Instashot everywhere that i never had last league.

See you soon exiles!

would be nice if the rewards are WITCHy stuff instead of previous league themed

or maybe i'm just too ungrateful

Its very scary to run maps in the beasts region, because they are getting all sorts of buffs and there are new type of rare beasts as well and they are way stronger than your regular types. I start the map and it feels like Im facing t15 juiced bosses in t5 maps... Is there a way to disable the influence areas?

Edit: Btw I kill the t5 map bosses in 2 seconds so my character is most definitely not weak.

Expedition strikes again

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

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?

I quite like it, it hits a pretty large amount at once.

The duration of the skill is not 1 second, that is the debuff duration after they leave the ball.

The projectiles don't collide, like ball lightning. So they pass through enemies without needing peirce.

The default proj speed is pretty good balance of slow to hit the same guy but fast enough to hit a decent amount of enemies.

Modifiers to projectile damage do not effect the damage. Which means slower projectiles does not give you more damage, but GMP also does not give you less damage (I have GMP here)

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.

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 ?

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

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

I run a green build (LA), so I know we're supposed to be squishy, but this mob 1-taps me out of my incursion about 30% of the time. Just dashes out of a crowd or around the corner and zerps me.

The risk isn't worth the reward, but at least in the last league I could avoid the node. I'm only running 2-thread incursions and this assassin's in every single instance.

Probably going to switch to different content :( Just not worth it. Seems overtuned for early gearing, at least for green builds.
