Minion and Mendeln Bugs Persisting After Patch

Of this year?
I don’t think so

I wish I could say I’m shocked it’s still broken. Typical Blizzard.

This reached a ridiculous point, the truth is I don’t understand that a bug that has been affecting the Mendeln ring for so long, and they release patches and patches to fix it and they fail and fail and fail again, the truth is that I don’t understand what they are doing to improve the game, I sometimes feel that they have abandoned it and they are only interested in monetization, this already goes beyond what is logical

Guess, I’ll re-roll my minions Necro for another build now.

This is disappointing.

Out of curiosity is it possible that the real fixes will only happen with new Mendeln rings that drop after the patch? This is Blizzard, kings of making old items obsolete, perhaps they’ve done it again?

It’s also possible they just messed up the whole thing because that’s something else they’re really good at but has anyone found a ring since the patch and tested it or just tested existing rings?

ITs a good question but I think most of us are throwing hands up in the air and giving up. Its not our job to test stuff supposedly fixed what 2-3 times now? Do patch notes mean anything? IS anything fixed they say is fixed? Who knows anymore. This is a complete joke of a patch. Is AI already running the show? Could humans really be this bad?

id say try bloodsurge minion but that died with the stat squish so its bloodwave for you :face_in_clouds:

The problem is tech debt. They reused bad code from inexperienced employees because nobody is going to work for Blizzard wages in Cali.

They’re screwing around as a corporation.

I feel like we would need 3 upgrades to get to bad code…

I reinstalled this season to try companion druid since…you know… “we’re fixing companions/minions”.

Not even 10 hours played and my werewolves get stuck in the ground and my ravens don’t even spawn.

Uninstalled, and that’s the last time this game is going to touch my drive space.

Every Necro I’ve ran across so far is bloodwave… I get it, it’s cool to have a fun build and I won’t begrudge anyone wanting to have fun… but that build isn’t for me… Maybe I’ll just wait until the mid-season and see what’s what… in the meantime, I’ll concentrate on my alt pulverize Druid for now… just got that chunky chonk onto T3.

Have you tried bonestorm?

I ran Blood Surge Minion until I got bored with the farming & moved onto SB & Sorc (current). It’s a fun spec & it works differently than it used to.

You left out a few… including deliberately malicious levels of incompetence/malfeasance…

Code occasionally deletes other files on your machine.
Code randomly inserts malware into your machine.
Code deliberately installs malware to scrape personal login and credit info

Blizzard may be near the bottom by 20th century programming standards but they still have a way to fall in the 21st century.

We are not at this level of conspiracy. They are not doing this. They dont need to. We are swiping our cards willingly to buy overpriced cosmetics.

Damn. I was waiting for this to get fixed before finishing this season. I logged in there’s no way they fixed anything. Came here and I’m relieved to say I’m not crazy. What the hell, Blizzard? This is the type of stuff that keeps me not coming back. At this point I might uninstall the game and move to Last Epoch / POE for my rotation.

Thank you for the effort to test this as properly as you are able.

This being done within a few hours after the patch makes me wonder how they let this be released. A player tested this in short order but paid “professionals” can’t pull it off. Add to this leadership allowed this is beyond reproach.

What an absolute joke and complete failure.

I will be honest and made previous posts where I didn’t expect this to be fixed and expected it would cause more issues than it fixed. It was an easy call as this is all they are capable of doing. It is time for a change. It needs to start from the top.

This is the worst example of ineptness Bliz has done for D4. Releasing a patch for an item supposedly fixed twice already and it looks even more broken than before? What is going on over there? How can the players be better at testing than the devs? How are players going to have any faith in any Bliz patch ever again? What else is broken that was supposedly fixed? Do they even care about the damage being done to whatever reputation they had left? Something big needs to happen because of this. Im talking about cleaning out entire departments and starting over. Somebody at microsoft do something. D4 is plummeting into a buggy grave.
