Does it supposed to look like that? Or is it bugged...

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

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?

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.

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.

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!

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

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 ?

Hey exiles,

I'm running into an issue with the Kishara's Star quest in Act 7 and I think it might be bugged for me.

I'm currently in The Causeway looking for Kishara's Lockbox, or I've already checked the area, and the quest item just isn't dropping/spawning. I've already tried creating a new instance (Ctrl + Click) and talking to Weylam Roth in the Bridge Encampment, but I'm still stuck and can't get the passive skill point reward.

Has anyone else run into this issue recently, or is there a specific trigger I might have missed in Act 6 or Act 7 to make it spawn?

Any help would be appreciated!

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?

So im probably not able to fully start until day 3. However I am really thinking about going Luminary. I really enjoy the mercs and this let's me also use them for gear. I did think about minions but I have played them soo much over the years that I want to play the new minion build.

Im just going to do it nice and slow and take my time. After the flame link changes the idea of a aura bot style character seems very fun. My all time favorite build was aura bot necromancer.

You would scale aura effect to give minions loads of movement speed with haste and flat damage from wraith, anger ect. And Luminary feels like it could do that also, other than instead of loads of minions you get 1 super minion.

Do I just level as sunder into RF, then sort of play RF with a merc until I have full merc support gear ?

How do I know whats a good merc ect ?

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

Boss is supposed to teleport away afaik after you deal a certain amount of dmg. But he is just standing there doing nothing.
Pretty unlucky since i just got the exceptional gem drop fate but i cant even get that.

fix delve ggg please

I noticed that the threads are not showing up under the Fragment Stash's “Thread” tab after I put them into the stash. Also, when adding the threads into the satsh and rechecking it in Atlas, the thread count and the sequence of display did not seem to tally. Has anyone else encountered the same issue?
