Curses

+1 to reaction and overall reaction and...you get the idea ;)
75% seems reasonable, anything more is just too good.

As for the naysayers its natural as things are added GGG won't be able to guess everyway the game can be broken. That's what we're here for!

Actually, I am not surprised. I can't remember what, but recently Chris championed the undoing of a different unpopular decision. I am amazed by how well he suppresses his ego - few people can or want to.

I feel like I've broken a high score in a game and I am wandering how I did that while expecting to die any second now. I hope GGG soldier on in the same fashion. My support was well deserved.

In a few hours, we will deploy a hotfix that undoes the curse changes in yesterday's hotfix. It will introduce a cap of 75% to the action speed reduction caused by Temporal Chains and to the effects of Enfeeble.

We shouldn't have made such a large balance modification within a challenge league. This new cap solves the exploit case without affecting most other players.

We want people to understand that this change wasn't made as a knee-jerk reaction, it was a balance change that was discussed during the development of 2.1.0 and was omitted from the initial deploy. There are numerous ways that the current curse system is holding us back, so we will review it extensively for 2.2.0 next year.

Edit: this is now deployed.


Just marry me.

GGG forgot to reverse blasphemy to 25% mana reservation...and many other things.


That is a balance decision. blasphemy at 25% is too strong and would lead to nerfs on every curses.

Can you elaborate on this? Curious.
I was definitely one of the ones criticizing the curse changes, and I'm super glad to see such a quick response. Thank you.

It's manifestly clear that GGG listens a great deal to the community as shown by how active they are in reading and responding to Reddit posts and things like that. What you probably mean to say is "Holy shit they did what I wanted them to do what the fuck."
can i hug you,Chris?

We cried and you listend. Pretty based tbh.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
