Improved Betrayal encounters by reducing damage dealt by most Syndicate members, improving skill signalling, reducing Syndicate member damage bonuses from some items, reducing skill off-screening, cleaning up residual objects to reduce clutter and reducing additional monster spawns in Fortification encounters.

"""improved"""

Reddit yet again succeeds in whinging so hard that the game gets easier and shitter.

Remember when this game was hard? I do.

The fact that betrayal encounters are ridiculously more difficult than all other content isn't a good thing, it needed to be nerfed it's entirely inconsistent.

sweet!

No mention of the "Socketed Gems are supported by Bloog Magic Level 1" mod that has been missing all this time?!

no longer hit kill from It That Fled non rank? Awesome

I hope they dont nerf the syndicate into the ground. tanky builds enjoyed being able to withstand the pain.

also, how about buffing the fuck out of safehouse encounters ? syndicate members are PUSHOVERS there. its the opposite of breachstone run where the bosses are tough. the adds during the safehouse run sometimes are more dangerous than the safehouse leaders.

Please fix the overlapping Syndicate thing, so i do not have to go with the order they died.

I had success with tping out and back in to make them change order when overlapping. Not a fix ofc, but at least it can help sometimes until its fixed :)

Agreed. They should nerf some of the members at tops 10% at first, and see how it plays out combined with the other changes.

Thank you GGG!

I'm saddened to see nerfs being deployed across the board - with the possible exception of off-screening, which feels cheap and is one reason I'd never play Betrayal on Hardcore.

If the VFX associated with Syndicate members wasn't so gratuitously overdone, reducing their damage wouldn't be necessary - and honestly feels like a cop-out. I don't want to not die - I just want to understand why I died. At any time there's more than one of those tornadoes on the screen at once it's effectively impossible to see anything, regardless of what enemies are doing at the time. Abruptly dying in those circumstances is frustrating - but lowering their damage misses the point completely. Please ask the art team to tone down the VFX. It's not the first time they've heavily reduced my enjoyment of a challenge league.

How about increased effect of ailments craft spawning on rings but not being able to be crafted unto rings?
