Upcoming bug-fix to Ballista

so, you need only loot and nothing more? did you hear that devs care about builds divercity at the first place? how do you think, is it about getting more loot or giving players the opportunity to play more builds?

i would have played more builds but the corruption level is slow to raise and it’s binded to the character

C’mon, we all have interacted with you long enough to know that you simply would have not… You woulda played it extensively exactly for knowing it was OP and could get n̶e̶r̶f̶e̶d̶ fixed eventually, cause you would need to extract all the fun you could while it lasted. Then you would have created a thread complaining how you dream came true got shattered by the bug fix… :upside_down_face:

I don’t have a ballista build, this nerf has zero effect on me. You seem to think “nerfs” and “bug fixes” have zero correlation, this is not the case. They have a massive overlap in game, which leads to the same result, something being too strong or weak. One is simply an oversight due to limited testing and the other a minor coding error, which can also be corrected by testing. My motto is simple, if it’s not destroying the game, don’t mess with it, players are not in direct competition, everyone is not playing the exact same build, and the cycle is dying down, diminishing the efforts of your player base is a terrible idea. I simply believe this is a poor stance moving forward, and it’s been proven by countless games in the past, it’s almost not even worth discussion.

You seem to think oversights and bugs are coal in a stocking, but they can be a diamond in the rough that gives players motivation to reroll and find new interesting interactions. Most of the strongest builds this cycle exist because of oversight, bugs, and limited testing. Do you really think “fixing” them all would motivate people to continue the cycle? A far better idea would be to buff skills that are clearly underpowered.

In any case, I think you will disagree with basically anything I say, since I apparently I can’t even make analogies without disapproval. So feel free to spare me of your ill-mannered remarks, and save yourself the time of a overly predictable reply.

I apologize for my Christmas analogy, I’ll try and keep holidays out of this going forward.

Ppl do 2k+ corruption for Youtube Content, aka $$$.

The same way I like OP builds. I mix trying somethings on my own and other times copying op builds to achieve the highest possible corruption. I just love that.

But sometimes some of the OP builds are completely broken and based on unintended interactions. It not good or healthy for the longevity of the game.

You didn’t need to know that there was an unintended interaction in the skill, but it was obvious that it was disgustingly abnormal from game mechanics.
There is no place for one shooting all enemies off the screen in this game.

i’m confused by this statement. do you need a max level of corruption at every single character? or is there some point in corruption that you will state as enough for this character so that you can go to the another one? is 2k isnt enough?

Nah, i seriously feel bad for not being able to push the corruption anymore and to map all day without the need to roll maps, buying compasses and scarabs.

If you make a new character, you start from scratch and raise the corruption again. You want to push the corruption until your character can keep up with the scaling.

i hope you understand that this way is about min-maxing meta builds, not about builds divercity, its contradict with the devs first place care.

the devs are not encouraging me to make a second character because of the absence of a cross-character corruption catch up mechanic

Are you serious?

Somewhere in the monoliths, a Bitterwing is waiting and rubbing his wings together like the meme of that guy standing behind a tree.

This is not cross-character, this is the catch-up between the highest monolith on your character and a lower one

don’t worry, good night

Good info!

Definetley enjoying see all these people cry, game just came out, and people losing their minds over bugs and sht, like theyve never seen it before lol… enjoyable to see… im happy they are fixing all the issues now, they need to, fix all the issues before next cycle, then drop the cycle and leave it be, otherwise were gonna have a ton of broken and bugged sht on top of new content potentially causing more issues… fix it now, laugh at all the people complaining, then enjoy next cycle…

Nailed it. Bug exploiter confirmed, basically.

I don’t care about challenge, i do personally care about improving my build to get more loot to improve my build to get even more loot.

This bit from another post also demonstrates the true colors. Care nothing for balance or exploits as long as they can benefit from it. Classic opportunity-driven behavior, and typical floundering when the EZ button gets taken away.
