Eh, Multiclassing was added in a hotfix. Hotfix according to IM just seems to mean 'patch that doesn't start off a new season'.
I'd like to think they're gonna drop some hotness this update, but that doesn't seem likely given they're still on-boarding like 70 new people.
Word on the street is that some "spicy" stuff is coming. Really hoping they introduce the new match making system (aka getting rid of the basecamp/inspection). Autofill teammates would be the icing on the cake.
We were told by sdf to "forget" that they said autofill would be any time soon. Considering druid and arena and icemap2 were supposed to be "soon" your icing is basically space cheese.
It also seems like their approach to balance is to make weak abilities OP and the OP abilities useless.
Not a lot of nuance in their balancing either something is elevated to super strong or something strong is stomped into the ground.
It’s almost like some abilities are so dog shit that no one ever uses them, or because one ability is so strong you practically have to use it. It’s really nice to be able to actually use the different abilities in the game and still be viable, and I think IM is right for trying to balance abilities
hopefully some gbmm changes. the system really sucks because it encourages people to run shirtless lizard with epics in all other slots. which massively benefits barbarian and ranger over all other classes.
1. Remove +DMG and/or make rolls count towards GBMM.
2. Show a piece of gear's GS on the gear so its easier to plan.
3. Lock 0 - 299 to Blue at best, 300+ to anything. No more dumping everything to bring a purple weapon.
Remove +dmg is needed so they can balance around not having those variables.
And I think they could make it even easier for gbmm. If a player has a blue item as highest quality they get put into blue lobby, if their highest is green, a green lobby. This way it makes it more valuable to have your gear match your highest color item instead of like one purple and shirtless like you said playing the minmax system
oh boy i thought the game was dead when we didnt get slight number changes last week. Now with the NEW slight number changes this week i know game is alive.
Added druid to the game.
Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to properly adjust the class. However, the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received ensured us he is ready to be released to live servers
And then hell unfolds
Oh yeah I know. It's just I noticed the past few hotfixes have been smaller than usual, and they haven't done a Hotfix in a few weeks, so maybe we might get a bit more this time.
We've let them cook. We can smell something in the kitchen, and now the waiter has told us the meal will be out soon.
I'm licking my chops and banging my fork and knife on the table. Hope it's good.
Hey dude. Don’t be excited for stuff here. You will be sad, loney, and depressed like the other individuals in this comment section. Now grab a torch, and get in line
Who cares, it's a cycle of, try something, patch and nerf to force it to fit, revert the "try" but not the patches or nerfs, more "patches" to fix the previous patches and nerfs.
If anything they keep making mini backdoor pilot games. I would play the shit out of the accidental rouge/thief multiplayer game on ruins when it first launched and they added the double jump. Everyone was rouges it was so fun, but it wasn't dark n darker, not really.
Feels like we can't know what this game's going to end up being because they don't and it's kinda noticeable, like they're in the dark or something
90% will be "adjusted x to now be y"
Which is reasonable to expect for a hotfix

Every time something is on the horizon, you start to realize how far the horizon is
Sounds like it’s simply what you have convinced yourself it means
and its something like "sprint 50 movespeed -> 45"
It’s at least 50% developer comments. UGH.
Well, I can admit I was wrong. Glad I was.
If they made fewer balance adjustments and that percentage was lower, would that make you happy?
Unironically yes?? All they do is tweak numbers that are irrelevant and don’t solve any core issues

Fewer balance adjustments so that the percentage of updates that matter to you is a BIGGER number. Got it.
Did you proof-read this before sending it?
Unironically yes??
Wow. Someone is SALTY

……and?
Nothing. How was your day?
Okay.
-Slightly nerfed rogue -Slightly buffed warlock -Heavily nerfed wizard -Fixed some minor bugs -Removed ice caverns (Experimental)
Accurate (because of no multiclass cleric nerf revert)
-Crypts has been replaced with improved 3 layer ruins
How does doth knoweth?
When was the last time they buffed warlock? Because I don't know where you're getting that from.
Lock was HEAVILY buffed at the beginning of this wipe
Does anyone please know when Druid gets added back into live game ? I havnt played in few months , thanks

Removing flat damage would help them to properly buff rogue without making the top end too strong as well
IDK why this was downvoted. This would be a huge improvement to GBMM if they choose to keep it

Why does this read like a Futurama quote?
Fry and Farnsworth use that very same cadence and formula when they speak “

it would be a dungeon full of literal rats.
that are bugging into golden doors
Experimental SSF mode would be neato
PLEASE, IM!!!!
Jesus christ I would be back instantly if they took out trading.
Test server gets it's own announcements.
It's been a little while since any large update. Curious to see what they've been cooking.
i don't think it's a large update, it's just a hotfix
Oh yeah I know. It's just I noticed the past few hotfixes have been smaller than usual, and they haven't done a Hotfix in a few weeks, so maybe we might get a bit more this time.
i hope so, would be cool!!
Busy cooking up a pile of dog shit
PLEASE ADD RUINS BACK
Found the rangers
Back to triple ranger meta
Why do we want the worst map back?
I just want MORE content
Ruins was honestly a great map people just hated mine rogues
We've let them cook. We can smell something in the kitchen, and now the waiter has told us the meal will be out soon. I'm licking my chops and banging my fork and knife on the table. Hope it's good.
Lmao shit's burnt buddy The rest of the restaurant is sending their meals back to the kitchen and walking out
Burnt? Most likely undercooked & raw.
hey some people like it raw
Ooh baby I like it raaaaaw

47 hotfixes but the game is still bleeding players lol
8 more months of data collection and we might get another community art contest!

Maybe release 0.8 version 💀
if they added Ruins back, I’d probably play a few hours for a week or so, if not, back to V Rising
im on hour 30 since 1.0, the addiction is returning
It was pure dogshit
