Did they nerf the sword heal proccing on pots? I was hoping I could snatch an easy game before they did that.

Guessing they had a lot of feedback to use, and probably had already been workshopping stuff. Still useful to have the patchnotes, though. [edit=ninja'd]

Trying out the blitz disc. It's mostly underwhelming, but it does have a neat interaction with the explosion on shield catch hammer upgrade. (Being able to recall the shield means the explosion can be easily spammed over and over again.) RE: Patchnotes, wonder if they also fixed Guan Yu's aspect from getting health out of pots, or just cursed blade.

Well, they walked back or nerfed a lot of the changes I was having trouble adapting to. I'm guessing they want us to use the Acorn for Hades.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Poseidon's popularity will skyrocket. He was already good and a Poseidon build completely annihilates Styx, which is a lot more dangerous than before.

It makes up for Poseidon's major weakness but you still have to be lucky enough to run into Poseidon again after already having some of his boons, be offered the new bonus damage against bosses as one of the three options, and that still means having to take it in place of something else. I like that they chose to do it this way instead of just making bonus damage to bosses a baseline aspect of all Poseidon's abilities.

That patch sounds good. I'm actually in the middle of a run pre-newnew patch with Zag Spear from last night. Did they rework it, then rework it back to how it was?quote:📢 Eternal Spear (Zagreus): reworked; now gives bonus damage, range, and speed to Skewer special Also looks like they just walked back two of the 'nerfs' entirely to Artemis? quote: Support Fire (Artemis): increased damage; increased power level at higher rarity Are prices also back to what they were?

Instincts after getting a round in post-patch: - Game balance generally feels mostly back to what it was pre-update, though some things still feel kinda wonky. - I can use it, but Demeter's cast is still not my favorite. At least I only have one more boon to go to complete the prophecy. - Styx remains way more dangerous than it was pre-update. - Having lost on the final boss, i'm not sure if it's legitimately gotten harder to win this fight than before the update or I just had a bad boon setup (and experimenting with Eurydice's Acorn probably didn't help either).

The nerfs to Support Fire were really strong. At heroic it did like 13 damage, down from 24 or something, and each Pom only gave it +1 damage. I haven't tried this patch yet but I'm guessing they made it better but not as strong as it was on Monday.

Kill All Cops posted:lol they added a 10 second internal cd to Broken Spearpoint, no wonder out of 3 or 4 attempts I only made it past Elysium once yesterday I just beat Hades with Zag Spear pre-new patch on Heat 5. Theoretically nothing that I was using before was exactly nerfed, at least according to the patch notes, but it felt a lot harder, like I was getting smashed by his spin way more, and his first adds took way longer to kill than before. Weirdly it felt like my invuln-frames were less or dash or something wasn't as responsive, idk hard to explain but there was something 'sticky/janky' feeling about the whole thing. Keeping my distance just spamming Blizzard Shot seemed to be welll enough and let me beat it while blowing all 3 of my Death Defiances, but I'd really get wrecked anytime I went in for a Spin-dash (even with Faster Spin hammer upgrade + Spin Area upgrade along with +10 damage from Zag Spear. Surprisingly that combo was good, but even going all-in not as good as I expected and ended up relying on my Cast for Styx and Hades). Going to update and see if it feels different with the new patch. Xaris fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Jan 23, 2020 |

Is there anyway to revert an update? The masochist in me kind of wants to win with the old Spear before using the new one.

I've not played post 'hotfix' patch, but initial impressions with a fully-upgraded guan yu spear (so, 40hp total) were pretty negative; kiting enemies to get off more spin attacks to recover HP slows the pace, while standard gameplay is designed to be pretty hectic. In general, standing still charging an attack (like the bow) really doesn't sit well with me; I think it ruins the flow of the game. Fishing is another odd choice too - the standard gameplay loop seems to be about pace, when fishing deliberately stops that. Maybe I'm just angry that my fish always get away. When are you supposed to reel them in!?

It's mostly just a nice source of easy gems I think. You'd need them to get through the drat contractors list.

Played with new spear and won on the first try. Unsurprisingly, vampirism is a broken effect when you have enough HP to not die in 1-2 hits. Honestly the spin and special are cool but the HP steal is just lame. It breaks a lot of the game's balance. Giving you an HP pool that can endure more than one attack made the weapon swing from incredibly bad to laughably broken. You can just stay topped off for the entire game and breeze through everything. Bosses are the only issue but everything else is so easy you should be able to take them now that you won't be oneshot. Would rather them just cut out the HP mechanic entirely. buildmorefarms posted:Fishing is another odd choice too - the standard gameplay loop seems to be about pace, when fishing deliberately stops that.

I finally got to the last boss on an Artemis/Ares Hera Bow run and thought I won! And then I hadn't actually won and died immediately like a complete scrub. I'm sad now.  Demeter will not pop for me I've been playing all drat day and have done like 6 runs through Elysium and ain't seen that lady once. Hoping that bitching about it online will make her show up.

Honestly that wasnt even the broken part, it was the percentage-based heal that meant you finished every fight on 100% so you didnt even need to abuse healing on pots to top up after

Oh i wondered why the run seemed so gentle. I'd heard about how much harder the earlier patch made it, did a run and it wasn't so bad, then found out about the un-nerfs. The screen got zoomed out, right? That's the part I had the most trouble adapting to. The demeter +30% damage to everything when you're out of gems is theoretically nuts but wow I kept forgetting to use it. The final boss was noticeably harder, I had a very strong build with privileged status active the whole time and he still did a good 360 damage to me over the course of the fight. Also what does "disciple of hermes" mean? I had the same text when I finished my run (which had nothing in common with yours). No Wave fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jan 23, 2020 |

Could be related to clear speed? Like if you clear it really fast maybe you get Champion of Hermes or something

I'd like to state for the record Demeter showed up in the very next run as a forced pop in the first room even though I had the Artemis trinket equipped. Based off the dialogue it looks like she won't show up until you reach the surface and feel the cold winds there. Don't have to kill the end boss though because I ain't done that yet.

A completely unrelated question; do the god-specific-boon keepsakes work more than once? Or is there zero reason to leave them on after you've completed an act?

I had one run earlier featuring the title "Poor as a Pauper" as well as a title-less one, so it looks like it's not (necessarily) related to clear speeds. Maybe it's just based on some particular element of the run, like having extremely much/little gold, a lot of boons from a particular god, and so on?

I think the rarity boost stays active but the forced spawn only happens once. So not quite zero reason, but you probably don't want to keep it.
