So... Cold mastery Topic... (Changed again?)

You change it, Let us get gear for that set up, then change it back.

What kind of Out of season April Fool’s Joke is this?
I was having a great time FINALLY being able to pierce the OVERLY STOCKED COLD immune monsters in Hell.

After everything with D2r I am SO close to refunding the game. I built a character around maxing cold mastery because I thought that’s how it was now being intended to work. But you GHOST changed it without even saying a thing.

I am so disappointed in the communication of the Dev team/representatives at Blizzard.
Can someone buy them out already? Activision ruined them.

Come on dude, we both know you maxed it to abuse that bug. Just respec geez. You talk about how its end of the world. You refund because they fixed bug lmao? How can you even refund when you played game many hours? Makes no sense.

Just so you know there is absolutely no way you could get a refund outside of a charge back (maybe?) if you played this much.

As for communication from the devs it could always be better and I feel like that could copy/pasted to every Blizz game

Abuse a bug? I tried a new build with Frozen orb and frost nova. You completely missed the point of my post.
It’s about COMMUNICATION with the COMMUNITY. Not ghost fixing something that was INTENTIONALLY implemented and stayed that way for almost 20 days.

And refund because of jsut this bug? No, Read my post again. If I refund, it’s for MULTIPLE reasons. Don’t put words in my mouth and then say I don’t make any sense when you can’t even read and/or comprehend my original post and take things out of context.

Lmao.

“I built a character around maxing cold mastery because I thought that’s how it was now being intended to work.”

It’s like the #1 rule in this forum is just to be negative and rude to people. You assume he’s abusing a bug after quoting him saying he thinks it’s remain this way.

The games been out three weeks. I would expect some sort of clarification on something as big as the cold mastery change. Not a sudden update without telling anyone.

I invested quite a lot into a cold sorc because I assumed this was one of the few things they changed. They never said a word saying it would be changed back. It’s just messed up.

He clearly made build to abuse the bug lol. Its what he described. I dont care about that, i was doing it myself. Its just hilarious to complain about that when they fixed it. Thats all.

Definitely not what he described.

Seems to me that he saw that it was changed, blizzard didn’t say a word about it, so he made a build around it. Now it’s changed back with still no word from blizzard.

Again, from him, “I built a character around maxing cold mastery because I thought that’s how it was now being intended to work"

That negativity will always make you think the worst of people though. Sucks :worried:

how would we have known it was a bug we got 0 communication on it i asked in multiple places and no one knew if it was a bug or intended.

we have 0 patch notes but we know they fixed multiple old bugs and tweaked things and no known issues list.

to say something is a bug vs how the new game is intended to work without blizzards input is impossible.

Blizzard is all over the place man. It sucks. They really are fumbling D2R harder than I expected.

honestly i expected it to be kind of bad but the entire lack of communication is just baffling. so far we knew about the avx bugs and some “server issues due to high population at launch” but they have been stealth changing stuff since launch i never know if what i am doing is going to last or not.

To be fair it was very clearly working in a glitchy way, because cold immunes would still say immune, but were taking damage contrary to what the UI would indicate.

I expressed in another thread it was quite obviously a glitch, but the audience of cold sorcs wasn’t receptive at the time,. And now of course it will be “no one told us”.

they would still be immune if you aren’t debuffing them you are just buffing your spells to penetrate. it’s not like cold mastery says you and your party pierce it was a personal buff.

you thinking it is a glitch doesn’t make it so people thought it was and people thought it wasn’t that’s the whole point blizzard left it in for 2 weeks without saying anything so most people would assume not being told it was a bug meant it was intended and started making builds around it.

I get it, it says cold immune and you can still hurt them. The problem is the lack of communication. Plus, there are SO many cold immunes (which can’t be pierced) in Hell… more than 2-3 times more than fire/lightning. I don’t know why they just ghost that change.

Well, I certainly agree with this. Blizz isn’t exactly being interactive with the community.

i am just happy i wasn’t playing HC when i found out about this change i died today trying to kill a mob i have been killing since release because of the change.

though i think the funniest/saddest part is we still don’t know it could be a bug that it is not working now even.

I just spent like 2 minutes trying to figure out why I couldnt hurt Magic resistant Nihlathak anymore. Then he popped me with corpse explosion and I saw him at full life still. Lol

I’m just saying it isn’t a total and complete earth shattering mind blowing suprise is all. :slight_smile: Enemies taking damage from an element the UI says they are immune to was pretty clearly a glitch. I get that you liked it. That’s not the point.

In my opinion, building around it was very obviously premature and unwise in the first place. And I tried to say that to people doing so and expressed why, and got a very angry hostile and downright immature response from them. For a simple polite observation.

most people in classic thought it was a glitch it couldn’t break immunes till blizzard told us it wasn’t and it obviously wouldn’t say the mob wasn’t immune because it is cold mastery doesn’t debuff mobs it buffs your spells to pierce.

Yes, and you have to break the immunity to do damage, which is what I am saying. Immune doesn’t mean anything if you damage them while they are “immune”.
