Update 55.2 Preivew REOPENED! - 7/7 - 7/8

[Dragbon]

I have a little feedback on the raid.

Phase 1 is nice the only thing I ask is if you can add the red lines when you detect a trap to finding the runes. Its just a little hard to follow where you found them and even more so if you find 2 or more in one search. Otherwise its nice.

Phase 2 is a little boring. Nothing really stands out about it.

Phase 3 There are 2 big things I need to talk about for this phase. The first is the hand of vecna, it was dealing damage at 3 seconds on the countdown and also it is really hard to see when you get it. Can we get a visual indicating or something to tell us when we are targeted by it. When the raid gets a little chaotic it will just start killing people as is. The next point is the Trex roar can we get a raid warning or something to tell us when it is charging up. I think the time it takes to start roaring is great but if you are doing something else you can easily miss it until its too late. On normal it was dealing 1k damage on the first tick and if that scales on higher difficulties its going to mean that you dont have any room for error in getting on a platform. I do have a final point to talk about for this phase and its in regards to the orange named trash, on normal it could still be instakilled, if on higher difficulties the orange names are going to be deathwarded then cc/dc casters will be useless in this raid. My suggestion for that is only make one orange name spawn in each pack and make the rest instakillable.

I had a small tour of the Raid, I enjoyed the artwork. My Character was a little too weak to solo it all, but she was not geared correctly anyway.

In fact no shots were fired and nobody even went, till three centuries passed and a treaty was finally sent.

The runes weren't all that discreet.

I've never been big fan of the above icon set, which appeared several times. Because in some circumstances it can rather "confusing" as the item being revealed could have been in another area or the icons won't clear correctly.

Not much of a heads up. I also didn't notice the title change on this old thread.

Have a question not so much about the raid, but the raid loot. Currently the only "blanks" that I see available are Helm and Cloak. These are the items that you can craft on that have an open set bonus, I was wondering is there a plan to release more blanks? or is this it?

Just asking as I am trying to create a gear set around the new loot, and need to know slots might have a "set" augment added to them.

If there is no plan now to add more, that's what it is, would just be nice to know.

They've been saying the chest/helm/cloak are only pieces that'll do the (3-piece) set slots for a while now.

TtS doesnt seem to be applying Darkness stacks to anyone, with the Shadowdancer Core 4

If you want testing you really should post a day in advance rather than just make it a surprise

Better yet open it on the weekend so people that work all week can have enough time to play on Lammania and give you guys all the feedback you could want.

Ran the raid again on normal and R1 this preview. Overall, more polished and we didn't crash randomly. I do have a few comments of things I would like to see before it's released, if there's still time for changes.

1. Part 1 is still a bit meh to me and most folks I've talked with. I really wish players had more to look out for while trying to find the entrance to part two. More traps, more security statues, something.

2. On normal, part 2 is still incredibly easy. Too easy. On higher difficulties, I would like to see the circles mechanic removed and him throw players into spikes instead. This would mean adding a reflex save to the spikes as well. It's a great callback to ToD and circles are overused anyways.

3. The evil damage from the Rex feels a bit too much on R1.

An additional thought for part 1. I seems everyone was getting the spot check for the runes regardless of their spot skill. I think there should be a spot check if one doesn't exist, somewhere around 50-60-70 for N/H/E maybe?

I'd be concerned with putting in too many "You must be this tall to enter the raid" checks on the players.

At one point, way in the past, the 75 STR requirement for that lever in the Tempest's Spine raid was real problem for some parties.

"An acid damage over time effect from items has had its damage dice changed from 1d100 to 10d10 to raise the floor and provide less of a random spread (found in LGS, Legendary Alchemical, Dino Crafting)"

Nice. How things work if have like both alchemical and dino dot on items at the same time? While your at this your sure about Curse of Agony as dino dot?

"you take 6d6+6 damage every 2 seconds from a painful curse"

It might be painful but the damage as a whole could be seen as bit low.

[QuantumFX]

I hate that all the loot from this raid is BtC. It really needs to be like the Legendary Alchemical weapons and BtCoE. Also, bring back an artifact helmet. This means *BOTH* a standard and an artifact version. Limiting artifacts to the Curse set is unoriginal and uninspired loot design.
