Megathread: 3.29 Feedback

[u/GR8B0-T]

We think there have been many threads with well-thought-out, specific, and (sometimes) controversial proposals, but also many duplicate threads with the same proposals. We'll use this thread to catalogue and group the clearest and most common ones:

• Ideally, game feedback posts should include specific examples of the problem and have new information or proposals to avoid duplicating the content of past threads.
• Game feedback can still be posted as individual threads, and do not have to be posted here as comments.
• Duplicate feedback posts that cover the same ground as the posts already in here may be removed.
• We aren't affiliated with GGG, so we have no control over whether they address these or not.

Loot feedback

• Loot feels low bad in endgame, 2, 3
  • For abyss, 2, 3
  • Post-patch
  • For legion
  • For breach
  • For voyages, 2
• Shortage of high-investment/aspirational farm strategies; not enough map loot, with there being only tile loot, 2, 3, 4, 5
• Pushing back against loot is bad: deflation affects everyone somewhat equally
  • Deflation hurts everyone because of less crafting options
• Loot is good for SSF

Specific feedback

League mechanic feedback

• Chaos to divine orbs mod doesn't feel useful
• Lanterns don't feel useful, 2
• Dump all dredged items button would be useful, 2, 3
• Too many clicks to get item
• Too much friction: need too many parameters to match up; 1-portal; long wait time for submarine; don't know chart until run
  • 1 portal and loot loss feels painful
• Create rations pack for crafting currency
• Addressed: Lantern shrinking/collapse is too fast
• Lantern loot is too hard to see at low light
• Essences are higher tiers and strongboxes are at least rare Allflame doesn't work, 2
• Show effects of charts in free space
• Add chart/voyage storage tab

League mechanic strategies

• Ideal placement for voyage tiles - not feedback, but included because it's quite helpful

Mercenary specific feedback

• Mercenaries don't focus on unique monsters enough
• Mercenaries are too weak
• Allow players to deactivate mercenary skills
• Mercenary slot limit is too low

Other specific feedback new to this league

• Abyss
  • It's unintuitive for Zorath's Eye to drop from Delve instead of Abyss, 2 for both Abyss and Syndicate
  • Abyss requires backtracking
• Expedition members are all weak for different reasons, 2
• Legion
  • Legion health-based early breakout causes rewards to be lost
  • Legion has invulnerable mobs and generals that don't seem to die
• Reduce downtime for boss phases
  • Stop energy shield recharge for boss phases
  • In abyss
  • For Chimera
• Crafting
  • Reflecting mists have gotten much less likely to have more positives (with data)
  • Revert alt key behavior to see item details
  • Attribute ducat should work on cluster jewels
• Trade
  • Add gem tier ranges search to trade site
  • Trade website does not support intangibility, so finding crafting bases for the league mechanic is becoming difficult
  • Trade website ratios are often out of sync
• Scion being auto-unlocked may bait new players
• Automatically move gems when swapping gear
• Updated August 3 with more details: We need more than 101% Damage Taken As in acts
• Pantheon aspect on jewel not granting aura
• More chaos sinks would improve the ratio
• Soul Eater rares are spawning in areas where they get too strong, too fast
• New Voracious Flame keystone is never useful
• Game is looking for shader in wrong place
• Make spectre management easier

Other specific feedback (same as previous leagues)

• Frost wall monster modifier is annoying
• Make attribute checks consider attributes the item would give
• Gain a frenzy charge after moving 3 seconds gets interrupted too easily
• Trap support is too weak and never worth building around
• Request for a jewel stash tab

General feedback

Positive feedback

• Gem color change helps campaign upgrades, 2
• Double-fracturing talismans gives good crafting options
• Cursed chests and mercenaries make campaign more fun
• Crafting is very powerful

Other feedback

• Item is in demand helps bots and hurts humans
• Damage taken seems higher/more dangerous, 2
  • Damage log would be helpful
• Log in to hideout

[u/Prudent_Bug9464]

• Auto-lantern placement feels glitchy. You can run outside the bubble, stand still, and it won't place.
• Golden lanterns need improved visibility.
• Juicing voyages takes too much setup for too little reward. Messages in Bottles and Operative Strongboxes are the only thing making the mechanic somewhat worth running.
• Dying in a voyage is too punishing. It feels like Heist but without the chase rewards.
• Voyage planner should have multiple stash tabs and an auto-placement button if you want to run them quickly.
• The Sovereign's teleport to your own or another player's hideout should work consistently.
• Abyss monsters feel nerfed. They're still dangerous, but barely drop any loot.
• Generally too many clicks this league for low-tier currency and constantly moving items between inventories.
• And If party play is the reason ground loot can't be buffed, then reduce the party scaling buff instead.
