U57 Grip of the Hidden Hand - Preview 1 Overview

[Firebreed]

Any chance Legendary Brightbane Emerald could get fixed? It says it grants Insight bonuses, but it's actually Competence bonuses. This makes it overpowered for UMD, but vastly underpowered for everything else.

Are you sure it doesn't stack? Cause other items with Command stack perfectly fine with Competence bonuses on my end, and I'd be surprised if the Command on the augment is any different than the Command on named/random loot.

Regardless, despite this definitely not being the place for this discussion, I'll post my notes regarding THE Command bug:

"Command +X" is bugged. It should add +X Insightful bonus to all CHA skills, but instead of adding the stated X value, it actually adds a higher value (this value, let's call it Y, corresponds to the "Insightful Alluring Skills" bonus of that level, which is the same as the Cannith Crafting Insightful Skill value for said level). This still correctly counts as an Insightful bonus.

This affects named items, randomgen items (namely "Celebrated" ones), and the new Brightbane Emeralds (both varieties). Therefore a decision needs to be made, while keeping in mind that Command affects UMD on top of the other CHA skills:

Do you A) want to bring the actual bonus (Y) down to what's listed (X), in order to keep the balance between Command & Insightful Alluring Skills and avoid UMD inflation? Or B) do you wanna increase the values stated in the effect's description (X) to match what is actually being granted (Y), thus nerfing "Insightful Alluring Skills" (as it doesn't grant Insightful UMD) and also VASTLY increasing a character's available UMD at every level from 1 to 30?

At level 10 for example a Command +4 item currently actually grants +6 Insightful (and thus stacking) UMD. I suppose a third option would be to decouple Command from UMD altogether and keep the values of the current bonuses (Y), and updating the description values (X), but then Command essentially becomes the same as Insightful Alluring Skills.

I'm having a similar problem, I would love to download and check out how badly my only ranged character is nerfed but error client map 2 dat something gone too fast for me to copy is preventing me from downloading and logging in.

Please fix the Reaper vendor for feeding THROWN named items for reaper fragment...they are currently not accepted.

Please fix 4th core in GMoF Epic Destiny. It does not add 15 hp or +1 SR...

Please fix Light the Dark in Unyielding Sentinel Epic Destiny. It does not scale with ANY melee power or ANY spell power...

Thanks.

Reaper Quiver doesn't deconstruct for fragments either.

According to devs, quivers is illegal target for any reaper bonuses. So, the fact that quivers cannot be deconstructed in Reaper Forge is not a bug, a bug is that it has an illegal bonus.

It feels like this update is making setups a bit generic in some regards. Hit points are being regressed to the mean with outliers being brought in. And everyone is getting imbues; which in-turn makes having toggles on certain stuff not feel so special or unique- it's just which damage type is your build's toggle, not if a build does or doesn't have one. Not having huge outliers with super high or low HP is probably good on the development side for not worrying about something being too strong or too squishy (when designing quests or raid fights) and the imbues being all inclusive with imbue dice being a system-wide design is likely easy to implement and add-to down the line, but it does feel a bit like things are being made a bit more generic at some level too (where an EK or AA is just the same as anybody else's build now having an imbue toggle too).

They're becoming One D&D. Turning every class into a Generic Toggle Bunny, and will be patching in a Campfire quest so we can sit around in a circle and sing Kumbaya.

Old players, remember to pour out some Mead for the fallen. Mainly the OG team, who knew what Test actually meant, and knew enough not to "fix" what wasn't broken.
