I'm hoping that the large majority of their design staff were away on a long holiday weekend and had no input on that change, and didn't even hear about it before it was on Lamania. Five minutes of focused thought is all it would take to discover that putting named loot into generic shard recipes is a bad idea.

That's a more optimistic interpretation than if they had approved it.

Positron wasn't thrilled when he came back from vacation, though.

Jr Dev: "The players loved it! They can go from 1 to 20+ in an hour! So...we extended it! See, we told you we could handle you being away!"
Positron: "..."

Yeah, then then brought out the Architect

Before we let them go from 1-20 in an hour, now they can go from 1-50 in 4 hour

[SableShadow]

If "then" means "four-odd years later", sure.

Phear teh meow mishun!

[Shade]

probably dozens.

Compared to the sub 1-hour it took madfloyd to veto' this nonsense haha.

haha, well they say you can only learn from their mistakes.

So in a way, i think its good that they screw up as much as possible on u10 (done that already, it sucked) and u10.1 (on track..)... That way they got all that out of their system for when the good stuff finally comes (u11, raid...)
