i have a kind of halfasses one that's about a screen wide. it's a little annoying have the vendors and portal bois spread apart, but it also means I'm never in danger of misclicking. Plus I tend to let my inventory fill up before I do everything at once anyway

Exactly.

I switched to the divided hideout near the end of last league, deleted all of the decorations, and I'm pretty happy with the results

Maybe this week leading up to the league I'll decorate a new hideout. I have the Haunted Mansion one that I've never even used and it would be fitting for the league that runs into Halloween.

So how badly will compact hideouts be broken in 3.8 when each master acts as a map device for missions? Assuming it works that way it's going to be really annoying have all the masters spread out far enough to allow them to spawn portals.

Did they change the limit on maximum monsters hit? Wanted to play Sweep in Legion but whiffing a bunch even with RT sucked (also screwed up my wrist and ended up not playing much)

Just use immaculate hideout with that big open area, or another hideout with a big space like that, and you'll have enough room. You can kinda squish portal masters pretty close already, its map geometry they cant be even kind of close to

No just squish them all in a corner and use the edit hideout feature to move them out of storage when you want to do their missions 😁

Oh I remember that now, I think they put out a patch for that at some point in the league, must have been after you stopped?

shotgun: probably not

chain: probably not, they appear to pierce

return: probably not, again because of pierce

far/near shot: no, because they're spells

fork: probably not, pierce

Good news I guess is that if they DON'T pierce, you can support them with chain/fork/return. It's hard to tell with the very limited information available so far.

lol, someone on reddit came up with a plan for a gem lvl 39 HoP necro, abusing the new phys gem knives. That should be something like 2.5-3 mil damage fully supported; guard could hit 37 and gets sentinel buffs though

also a potential infernal legion vector assuming it works like rf and scales off of life, as the sentinels have ~300k life at this level

A nice goon hooked me up with Glacial hideout finally, so I went and found this: https://hideoutshowcase.com/hideout/show/177

I mostly just searched for Glacial Hideouts with no MTX decorations required and looked for the best rating. I bought all the stuff for it and imported before bed last night, only took a few final minutes to add flair like change the waypoint to glow, sit a sin symbol on top of it, stick my 37 challenge totems somewhere they don't look too stupid.

The crafting bench and alva/jun are a little ways away from the main stuff but I'm pretty impressed with this guy's work overall :D

I had a really nice Luxurious Hideout before that completely changes the way the place usually looks:

Pyromaniac nerf makes me wonder if they're adding some defensive options for traps and mines to the main tree. A lot f the theme to 3.8 seems to be getting rid of "you can only play X ascendancy with Y type skills" stuff, which I'm in favor of.

100% mine aura effect is potentially a lot of extra damage, though we don't know all the numbers yet.

Ask not to whom the Anidavatar belongs; it belongs to thee.
Traps and mines already do a stupid amount of damage with little investment, and with the new items/auras/skills I can't imagine damage is going to be a problem with them.

Might be able to shift the tree to more tankiness which would be nice.

The bug in that thread existed at league start (it's fixed now) but definitely didn't happen with RT. The problem was the accuracy rolls were all starting at 0 instead of being randomized properly so your first hit against each monster would always miss if you had less than 100% chance to hit.
