Dev Diary - February 2017

Who said there is a complete set of gear in purple bags? Because there isnt.

Since it mentions "There will also be new jewelry/accesories" while mentioning gear and weapons, i can only assume there is armor, since well, there isnt anything besides armor/jewelry/weapons that may be gear.

And the point still stands, why you insist on locking gear behind extreme rng? What is the purpose of it? And dont tell me because it makes it hard to get because you can make it hard to get without it being obtainable only due to rng.

We do it for the salt. Specifically because it annoys you.

The fact that you keep me in your thoughts warms my heart sweetie.

Obviously so all the fighting happens only with zerging keeps like when Genesis was put in initially. durrrrrrrrr.

AoE changes reversed and all the emphasis on purple rng weapons at keep cowinkydink? I think not.

Does the return of the old Renown Mastery mean that QE, CW & RD are going out of the game?

**** looks interesting! Thanks for the update

I don't think that's the intent, and with client control we would be able to shuffle around what shows up on the list. If anything they might be harder to get more than one renown ability at a time. Will know more about what's possible when we get closer.

Hope one of you delete the files associated with RD & CW - at least Thanks for the reply

Bye bye Nerfedbuttons

It was though. We were probably 80% finished when Az decided to revert the changes. Working in parallel can end up with interesting coincidences.

So much new content WOW. Looking forward to test everything when it wilk show up.
RvR inside Boss Lair looks cool. End year event gave us great fight near the giants. If Boss Lair fights will be similar then we will have something epic. WAR everywhere (almost ).

When roll back will happen the lowest rr someone could have is 43? Or I didn't understand something?

A Sorceress with a Tomb King ability? o.O?
Ozgrot please. Semi-spammable Fist of Gork without knockback ftw!

[Toonman]

Awesome stuff, I got a little moist in the crotch reading it all.

[Dalgrimar]

So can we expect conq and the new sc set to come before the patcher?
I read it will come "ASAP" but what does that mean.

Renown compression wouldn't affect anyone under RR43. Everyone above RR43 will be adjusted proportionally.

RR43 |---b-----------c------------------------------w-------------------------------r------------------------t--| RR80

RR43 |--b---c-----w------r-----t-|RR50

Again, this doesn't mean RR50 is the new cap, that's just the target range to start making adjustments. People will still be able to level up again, but there will be a different set of mastery benefits in place.

Very exciting stuff! Hug for everyone, especially Torq's hat.
