I am so glad I can finally concentrate on the game, effects and play more relaxed, than trying to ninja (and I was ninjaing very good). Dont know how anyone can say, perm allco was a wrong decision, when there is still the old system + an ffa option for the ultra ninjas out there. Wtf do you want more?

Neither. I agree that having huge disparities in loot preferences between players is not a good thing; however, that doesn't mean I support a change that almost totally eliminates loot preferences between players. That's why I mentioned the matchmaking system as an example of an appropriate fix.

The thing people fail to understand is that how you fix a problem is important. There is such a thing as fixing things the wrong way, which hold the potential for disaster because the "improvement" gets a lot of support for being "better" than things used to be. Normally these are changes where a certain practice is almost completely eliminated, like non-permanent allocation in PoE or face-to-face trading in Diablo 3. Permanent allocation didn't fix loot tension, it amputated it. It's something we should have kept and fixed properly.

This would be nice.

Would you sir turn it off even once, while creating map for other people?
Completely unnecessary.

Yes, I would have it off 99% of the time while burning through 66 maps for example. You wouldn't? Where else are lower level players supposed to get a starting map pool?

Same, at times I see more public parties for "66 maps" then all other parties combined, and all of them have like 1-3 people in them. Nobody wants to do 66 maps anymore when they can't get jack shit, people smartened up farm Lunaris instead.

If I had an option, I would turn m2m off, and actually try to burn through those 30+ 66s with a full party.

Just speculating on the screenshot of the early revamped ranger starting area.



-Primal Spirit is the left most node and is flanked by increased mana nodes.

-Perfect Aim is at the top left connected with attack speed, projectile damage, and bow damage node paths.

-Opposite of Primal Spirit and located in the middle of the screenshot shows an unknown notable passive with the picture of what looks like a heart on a tree. I'm guessing this might be something like 'Heart of the Oak/Forest' and might give similar buffs to what Primal Spirit does but is applied to life, life regen as well as life flask recovery increase and stats. This node is flanked by either 'avoid stun' or 'stun recovery' passives, its hard to tell since both have the same node picture.

-Underneath these notable passives is an unknown notable passive that seems to be leading 7 different directions. Must be something good!

-At the top right is another new notable passive with the picture of a bird around the bow/projectile area. This might be something like 'Eagle Eye/Bird of Prey'.

-The middle right shows Heart of the Panther's new location and under that is Weapon Artistry, good locations for both.

-I'm guessing the path underneath Weapon Artistry is the Single Handed weapon path and both the duel-wield and single-handed damage nodes meet on the other side. This would mean that the notable passive at the bottom left gives some benefits to melee rangers alone.
