Can Zana open this map as a quest? Last edited by Tao_Jones#5551 on Jan 27, 2015, 10:53:17 PM	Posted by Tao_Jones#5551 on Jan 27, 2015, 10:52:53 PM Quote this Post
Can we kindly get a teaser list of what's worth from the unique chest at the end of this map? That'd interest a lot of people, as at the moment it's a 69 map - dissuasive as we know excellent loot only drop in 70+ map. Good reason to test out PVP builds and survivability but puts people off if the loot of accomplishing the map drops uninteresting ones. We don't want the player base to look at this map as another typical junkie, it can get better than that. Share some light here please. o(^▽^)o The Gemling Queen favours 'NotACuckRoach'.

I'm glad the map will drop frequently enough so that lots of players will be able to try it. I'd echo a previous question in tbe thread: Do players get 1 vaal soul every five seconds, or how do they get souls to use their Vaal skills?

The Grandmaster build will become legacy. However, if we make changes to a skill this will change the skill being used by the Grandmaster. Items and passives are legacy. Skills are not. " dlrr wrote: - Since Grandmasters can repeatedly cast vaal skills, will players be given the same ability to cast them? There aren't many ways to gain vaal souls in the map for players. - Will Grandmaster names be able to have spaces in them? Is it possible to make it such that _ in Grandmaster names get automatically changed to spaces? Players will gain Vaal Souls 1:1 for each Grandmaster killed. Character names will appear in the map as they were submitted. " Tao_Jones wrote: Can Zana open this map as a quest?

The Grandmaster's Cache won't spawn monsters. Last edited by Bex_GGG#0000 on Jan 27, 2015, 11:21:53 PM	Posted by Bex_GGG on Jan 27, 2015, 11:16:06 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

So Vaal skills are pretty worthless for this map then since many Vaal skills require more souls than is possible to gain throughout the entire map.

Interesting info. Thanks Bex! Names as submitted, ie: the character in-game names? Guess no spaces then. Ok will need to think of something that doesn't look silly with underscores like "The_Bringer_of_Rain"	Posted by dlrr#2847 on Jan 27, 2015, 11:40:57 PM Quote this Post

Each door in the hallway will have FIFTY grandmasters, and it is multiple doors	Posted by Frajmando#3245 on Jan 27, 2015, 11:47:28 PM Quote this Post

That means it's up to 150 Vaal Souls available and there will be more as we add halls.	Posted by Bex_GGG on Jan 27, 2015, 11:53:20 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post
