Has EHG ever made a public statement on the reason why they nerfed these echoes to only affect echoes in a radius around them? Vessel of Memory explicitly says it does not affect woven echoes (both the regular one and the woven variant). I’d understand the radius if they did effect woven echoes as a limiter. Additionally, both Memory and Chaos are only ever found on the outer edges of a timeline web making the radius even more puzzling. Is the radius going to be reverted to full web like it was or is this going to just be a deprecated mechanic going forward?
I also stated this in my 1.2 Feedback already.
It seems like a weird change a) because it was not mentioned in the patch notes and b) Vessel of Memory has an updated desc. and Vessel of Chaos have an updated desc.
I really think they were never that powerful and requried intense investment into one echo web to really pay of.
I hope they will revert this change.
Yes, it was a major part of the endgame loop for both target farming and choosing a timeline based on your preference of incoming damage types, monster types, and map layouts. Beyond just going for the timeline specific echo rewards, if you were really pushing corruption you could choose your favorite timeline. You’d then fully explore the web, do all the good exalts/uniques, reroll them, then do some more exalts/uniques, then reset the web.
