Q&A with the Developers!

I have two questions:

1.When do you plan on releasing information about the remaining Ascendancy-classes?

2.Why does the scion get only one Ascendancy-class?

When are more ascendancy's going to be revealed? I'm very interested in the Witch ones. Perhaps a wand focused one?

What does the roadmap for chaos spells look like in the future/what is the time line?

As a side question, can you comment on what the vision with the skills was and how closely their current usage ahieves it?

What is the current opinion at GGG of the state of Cold Snap? For the significant investment it takes to keep it running as a single skill (either a ton of crit or Romira's + Resolute Technique) it has half of the dps of Freezing Pulse (1325 dps vs 679 of Cold Snap). It also has a really low base AoE (where as freezing pulse's biggest weakness is now buffered by gem leveling - projectile speed). Freezing pulse also has a higher base crit chance which seems a little silly seeing as Cold Snap runs off of power charges.
Are we really paying for all of those significant disadvantages for the extra freeze capability?

How do you guys feel about running a short-term PvP event that is akin to the Sealed Deck events in MTG? For example, each participant is given a random assortment of equipment/currency and is expected to create a build to compete for prizes! These characters and their items would be voided after the event of course!

is it likely that there will be any change in the 3d models of characters with different ascendancy classes? not talking about animations or anything to do with the skeleton, more stuff like, maybe the marauder gets a shirt, maybe the shadow gets a different tattoo, maybe the scion repairs her dress, maybe the templar gets pants, little things, something to mark the change from a washed up exile to a champion who completed the labyrinth

What is your intention with the Dead Reckoning jewel?

I was extremely excited when I first saw it, but when I found out that it doesn't work with GMP / LMP / chain, the skeletal mage's suddenly didn't make any sense.

They really don't have a role as there is no meaningful way to scale them up as casters. And they aren't melee either so they can't be scaled up that way.

Is it a design choice or an oversight?

If they could be tagged as using "Projectiles" it would make them work as true mages.

Thanks.

Because of a new staff, this is useful.

Thanks for the talisman league, enjoying it a lot!
And thanks for this opportunity, guess u guys will be busy answering questions now :)

Q: Is the map drop ratio going to be buffed?
Example:
Doing an Arsenal (Tier 12) map and getting map drops a lot lower than the current map tier feels a bit like talisman bumping talisman tiers, trading up for ever to get proper maps.
How about the highest tier maps can only drop a max of 4 below tier?
Mid tiers could drop max. 3 below tier and low tiers (up to 6) can drop max. 2 tiers off.
This would save so much 'trade up' map piles with those low tier maps.

Gggreat game! Keep it up!

So we get the fishing rod, we get the albino rhoa feather(s), now what? D:

Is there a possibility of getting the legendary Krillson in hideout?

Are there any plans to *very slightly* nerf Daresso? IMO, he's harder than Malachai. (Mostly because his swords do copious amounts of damage)

Recently the map drop rates were changed. With starting mapping a character at 63, through to 81, I couldn't get passed tier 3 maps. That's bad. I killed every boss, rolled the highest IIR/IIQ I could (with the most difficult combinations of mods), still nothing. Getting to tier 15 should by no means be simple, but I should not be mapping for 20 levels and be stuck with tier 3 maps being my highest tier.
A friend of mine ran MF and did fine with maps, but that's really stupid if everyone is forced to play MF just to map.
I know you guys are working hard, but this is a problem, please work on it.

If this wasn't already asked, what are your plans to fix the game's performance?

I mean by now if you haven't heard, load screens are taking close to 2~5minutes to load (yes starting load screen, unsure about in gaame load screens)

Major FPS spikes (stutters causing some deaths.)

Major lag spikes, probably due to servers? don't want to blame everything on the game.
(stuttering, likely cause of FPS stutters, causes deaths, and still you have the huge lag spikes when players join area's not sure if that was ever covered before but I think I do remember at one time you did talk about it and how it wasn't able to be fixed or something.

But anyways just throwing some questions out there, if you ever do reply to these questions It would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time!
