I know alot of the feedback has been positive regarding this latest update but I question how much of it is coming from players farming empowered timelines as opposed to regular ones.
Imo the new empowered timelines are far too over tuned, the damage of monsters is absurd and maps with 3 spires raining down triple ground circles every 3 seconds literally makes me want to just exit to desktop and say fk it.
As others have stated the stability needed is also way too high, yes I know adding corruption gives more stability but I dont want to spend a couple hours or more on 1 timeline just to not get the blessing I need anyways, its too much.
The crafting window is horrible, I stare at it for 2 minutes just wondering what goes where, before it was 2 seconds, click and done. Less can be more, also feel similar in regards to the passives window, it was simple to view before, now it just looks overly drawn out.
Im playing primarily on an extremely well geared lv99 Nova Boy mage with capped crit avoidance, over capped resists, capped endurance, high endurance threshold and insane dps. Its easily 1 of the top 3 overall builds and I had no trouble auto piloting through empowered timelines before 8.2, now I dont even want to.
So I really wonder what the majority of people just yoloing characters without a specific build, let alone a meta build with 301 hours into it are going to feel when they get to the empowered timelines instead of the white map versions they are raving about currently.
