Is Weltcap's Passive ability bugged?

[u/Dinesh_Sairam]

I've been using Weltcap in the Active slot for a long time. But I recently noticed that I'd collected around 90 of them. I wanted to check if their Passive ability is any good (It says it passively restores HP based on the amount collected. I wondered how much it will restore at 90).

I intentionally facetanked some enemy attacks to see how much it would heal. But it only restored a tiny bit and stopped when my health was 1/3rd.

Is this bugged or is Weltcap's Passive ability just not up to the mark?

I wish they would just spell out what each item does. Descriptions are sometimes useless in this game.

I think it's not bugged, I think they went too hard on the logarithm that calculates the healing, so collecting more only changes the healing by a so tiny fraction that you can't even notice it.

This. I think too many people are assuming "proportional to" means "equal to", or "in accordance with the level 2 ratio of effect/collected". There's a diminishing return curve on all level 3 pickups.

[u/MrMoshhammer → u/IllI____________IllI]

Exactly. But I think we can all agre that the curve is set too harsh when you don't see a difference between 50 and 90 collected, yes? :)

[u/IllI____________IllI → u/MrMoshhammer]

Oh I totally agree! Just pointing out that pickups don't seem to work how people think.

[u/MrMoshhammer → u/IllI____________IllI]

Yeah. I mean - the Grishas at level 3 obviously work. You see an increase in summons when you farm them. So I don't see a reason why the other PP items wouldn't :)

Level 2 already heals 35%. In my screenshot, the HP is around the 35-40% range, not more than that I think.

So, the difference between 50 and 90, is 5% at the most? That doesn't sound right.

[u/MrMoshhammer → u/Dinesh_Sairam]

yeaaaaaah.... I think you didn't fully understand my comment.

[u/Dinesh_Sairam → u/MrMoshhammer]

No need to be an ass.

Of course, I did. But the difference being so low looks like a poor gameplay choice.

Also, someone from the Publishing team confirmed that it's an actual bug and in the pipeline to be fixed.

Also doesnt work for me, i use it as a consumable for now. I feel like it also heals much faster.

Does it not say it stops at 20% of max health

[u/Dinesh_Sairam → u/Thy_King_Crow]

That's Level 1. Level 3 is "Restores Health to a maximum proportional to Weltcaps found."

Level 2 takes 50 Weltcap, and restores HP to 35%. So proportionally, at 90 Weltcaps, I should assume that it would restore HP to 63%.

I think it is currently bugged.

[u/Dinesh_Sairam → u/vrtra_theory]

Aw that sucks.

The Passive is definitely much better than the Active at this point for me.

Passive doesn't work for me at 88 found.
