I'm sorry, but this is a really bad idea, the source of so many future RIPs on hardcore.


Game engine sucks, especially when dealing with instantly loading props & mtx textures/effects for rogue exiles, as soon as the player opens a box.

Those unique box resources are not included in the "loading screen" duration, and don't boast them as a "game feature", it just rips characters because of the flawed design.


GGG, don't do this, unless you manage to fix the box issues first. Give them a random algo that's set into motion in the loading screen, together with the map tile layout randomizing, props/boxes/clickable spawn locations, etc.

This would solve the issue, maybe increase the "loading screen" time, but players will be happier, and no box RIPs.


Don't you get insane negative user feedback from players RIPing in the box loading sequence, due to screen-freeze and 0 fps drop?
