I meant "in the future".

When I said "now", I meant the definition of now according to Mr Gaz.

Apologies. I should have been clearer.

We are also 99% sure we will decouple Omega affixes from specific items, letting them roll on any of your items, however they will not stack. This also means we will be adding some more "generic" affixes that will give players who may not want the specific omega affixes we launch with for that hero an alternative while we ramp up production on more affixes.
Apparently there will be no such thing as affix roll ranges for slot 1-5 gear any more either.

I'm guessing that they couldn't figure out how to do the "reroll this line" recipe for omega items so they just dumped stat ranges.

It's all fun and games until the shield bounces to enemies so far away it despawns and you can't use any shield powers until you relog or switch characters.

Yeah, but they might accidentally make a "+3 shits to skill" thing useful by giving it to Chaotic Hex. I mean, SW shooting 16-20 bolts would be hilariously strong. Also too much work for the art department.

I think you misread. Ajax is saying he doesn't think it's me complaining that keeps getting me kicked, not that he thinks it's SV doing it. I know it's not SV doing it.

And yeah, I'm on for a while every day just now while I cosmic Noir Kitty. I wasn't planning to cosmic anyone else for a long time, but she was already red 60 and she's a PITA for Spirit until you hit 42 and get Master Thief, so I thought I'd take advantage of the event XP buff.

Ugh.

I have no choice but to log in now. NOW, I have to de-officer everybody except for the quality men and women who serve the goons with purpose.

From what I gather, we have many irresponsible goons who are taking advantage of their great power. But they lack the KA-JONES to wield the great responsibility that comes with it.

I will keep noble officers like Arboc and scaryvampiros around but that is all. They will be able to do the invites for now until I assess the PLAGUE that is causing DEATH to our members' guild status.

Thank you. Godspeed.

you should make me an officer, i promise not to even log in much less kick people!

If they're literally replacing the hero specific uniques, why on earth wouldn't they use the same names? I mean, maybe put an asterisk at the end just to not gently caress up the loot table? Or just rename the old uniques to Slot1_Deadpool_oldgarbage, etc.

Why even have unique icons for each character - just make every slot represented by a big number and save all of the effort of making a video game.

I know this isn't the case because all of the level 69 unique rewards aren't just the drop item scaled up.

My big takeway from this is that assuming that they work 8 hours a day, it takes Gaz the same amount of time to produce 5 icons as it does for Bob Ross to create 80 landscape paintings.
