any word on the armory being bugged once more?
I’ve done it.
Poe2 minions are a lot better, even Poe2 being Early Access and not without problems for now.

Tooltips errors you say, as in if you cant be bothered to fix the ring, fix the description to fit the current state of the ring. How masterful! How insightful of you to manage our expectations.

To be fair this is a large scale scope issue with their workflow. As in the only way this gets fixed is if they bring someone in who knows how to organize and amalgamate properly and holds utterly everyone accountable to the new standard.
And due to them being located in Cali they’re already scraping the bottom of the barrel of the talent pool, good programmers don’t work in gaming and if they do they don’t work for Blizzard in one of the most expensive states.
So get used to it because the way Blizzard is structured right now isn’t going to change even though it really should.
P.S. there’s other bugs with the patch too that imo point toward an issue with the wrong internal patch being published since some of the bugs are regressive in nature (they were fixed before but now they’re back).

March or April? WoW you give Blizz too much credit.
yea. armory is all screwed up again.
important thing is they got mother’s blessing working! gotta get those MAU’s up! (that was sarcasm).
Well i have been saying this for a long time.
Rework Mendeln.
Or tell us how it actually works even if its a bad item

Really appreciate the blue post.
But wow, if you look at all the interactions that have to be addressed (both in game mechanics and tool tips not updating properly), it really shows how much ‘tech debt’ the game keeps adding with their itemization system.
They should really just consider replacing the unique power with Holy Bolt elixir power. Wipes the slate clean on all the bugs. Gives a power all minion necros would probably enjoy, and would be easy on the dev team since they could just copy and paste it from S4.

This did come to mind for me too. Just add a line to the end of every tooltip saying “does not work with Ring of Mendeln”.
Then if anybody points out that anything does in fact work, Blizzard can stomp on it like the damn bug that it is.

I think it’s only frustrating because Mendeln was really good at one point and then they broke it. If they get rid of mendeln as the basis for minion dmg then they have to add another way for them to be respectable. I want the cold mage blizzard to allow for ice spikes and have crossover aspects xD

We dont have that many spots for aspects to have minion dmg from necro and cold dmg from sorc, or you get half trash of everything 
I am more interested in a time line, do we get it this week or maybe next week, with all the work that needs to be done.
All we know is that they’ve addressed the fact that they didn’t fix the ring (despite claiming they fixed it). We have to remember that it’s Wednesday … Their dev team probably went home for the weekend.

the scope of making an ARPG is large scale in general. even in D2, these games have so many interactions because it’s literally designed around that. to have many fun interactions. even on D3 i remember they said the “stash space was HUGE” and it was awful lol, and by the end they had to more than double it.
the fact they didn’t anticipate the need for stash expansion and coded the game in such a way that only 5-6 stash tabs is possible without causing backend issues is really bad.
i like moba’s (dota 2 in particular) and one of the greatest aspects of fun is being able to find all the interesting and quirky interactions between items and builds/abilities. that’s what these games are all about.
so what’s the point of playing an ARPG if literally nothing works, there’s no clarity as to whether or not it’s even functioning unless you do extreme testing, and there’s always 1 or 2 builds that eclipses everything else?
they literally say stuff like “this is season of the minion” lmao either this is some extreme lying or extreme disconnect/delusion from reality. how can you just casually and callously mislead people like that lol.
i like to play d4 for 2-3 days each season to complete season journey because the leveling progress and general power scaling up to paragon 200-ish is pretty fun, but the general state of this game is actually disgusting lol especially with these 1.5 year expansion periods.
pretty much every other ARPG in existence that’s worth its salt doesn’t have these multitudes of horrendous issues and isn’t doing both microtransactions AND expansions simultaneously while not even bothering to fix the base game.
