Info Im Team Applications + Item Rebalance Changelog

that's where you're wrong

 

Rainbow builds doing 0 damage to Qira isn't balanced. My Freedom build that does 24k bombs on curse does a big fat 0 to qira. (actually I shot 10 bombs at her and totaled 310 thunder damage (did ~160 2 times cause they were probably max rolls :p)

 

I feel like mobs with all element defenses should only have % elemental defenses, so like they can have 50% defense in all instead of having, say, 500 defense in all. That way, if you shoot a bomb that does 2k in every element, it would only do 5k damage total (1k in every element)

 

i find it funny how i actually predicted this vs other people being surprised:

 

I didnt approve of this

 

so did I:
It was originally called "A Discussion on Future Hive Changes"

 

A quick wynndata.tk search is all it takes

 

2 lazy lol

 

There's options available for use. It's not our fault that they're not being capitalized on.

 

So another thing. Why do we only see new rares and other low lvl stuff? Wouldnt it finally better getting high lvl new items instead of random stuff?

 

Rares are viable, just look at limbo.

Lower levels matter too. High level isn't the only aspect of the game that matters. If it does to you, then so be it but that's not how it is. Lower levels have to be advocated for and that is what is being done. Higher levels have been focused on quite a lot, and will continue to be but that does not mean we'll readily abandon low levels.

 

Yea we see that high lvl have been focussed a lot more ok. So lets look what a high lvl guy can do:
Loot runs and pray for mythics
Legendary island
Do some builds
Do the other quests
Search at the map for random stuff.
Wow and the new fun items on high lvl. Woah

 

If you're looking for new end game content comparable to LI or quests then you're asking the wrong branch of CT.

 

I feel as this hive nerf was misdone. If hive items were never meant to be used together, then why wern't they made as a set with massive drawbacks such as the jester set, or made impossible to use together such as what there doing right now? In releasing the hive items,and keeping them that way for awhile in the way they are currently (possible to use together), it told players that "yes, you may use them together, and no, it is not abuse". Now. by making them unusable, you are basically destroying that unspoken agreement, and labeling the people who did nothing wrong in the first place,as "dirty game abusers" is completely wrong, as it is the developers fault for releasing them as able to be used together.


Do I agree that multi hive is too powerful.? yes. but doing it in a way that demolishes multi hive users builds completely is basically using the nuclear option, destroying both builds and the unspoken agreement. I feel as though making them a set which gives considerable drawbacks, making it in most cases better to use something else instead of a second hive piece, but if needed allowing one to fill a specific niche if needed. This allows multihive to still exist, instead of just destroying the builds completely.

 

salted didn't want it. @Selvut283 has said that multiple times; once just a few pages ago on this thread

 

This is because Salted didn't want us to do that. It would look sloppy and confusing, and end up encouraging people to collect more than one piece only to end up being completely disappointed. Look at the Master Hive armours already; for most people they barely fit on the screen since they've got such a huge tooltip. Adding an 11-piece set bonus under that would make it completely impossible to read.

 

no that is not what it told players. we have repeatedly been told that they simply weren't able to keep the items from being used together until now

________________________________

I think this is a fair point. Should have been in the game on release, but again it wasn't possible at the time.

 

wait so will the hive skill req nerf be rolled back then since they were just to make wearing multiple hive armors harder right?

________________________________

not that it’ll help my build in particular cuz cant use prowess but still

 

I would agree that balancing multi-hive builds by making them set items with extreme negative effects when using multiple pieces would be cool, but is not how they're intended to be used. You're supposed to get one piece for each character to use. It makes the item more special. Then if you want to swap for a different master hive item when doing another build for example, you can go to the exchange merchants. The mechanics have been well thought out for now, but it has taken too long for these much needed changes to come.

I think @Selvut283 already said no earlier

 

well kek
