It was broke last season yes? You expecting to much lol I’d say maybe next season but hey maybe they will actually work on it this time
Is this an isolated thing? My Kalan’s is working … Just nothing is proccing off of the Ring of Mendeln. Unless that’s what you’re talking about, the interaction between the two of them.
Can someone translate this for me? “Smaller scope of fixes then intended”. I’m not aware of any fixes to Mendeln related to this patch. Were there any successful fixes to Mendeln in 2.1.2?
Did anybody in QA actually test it before the fix was released? Where is the breakdown?

I might have misunderstood that. But priest buff definetly not working on minion damage directly. Also the 3x multi for blood golem while healty.
But not using Mendeln instantly opens up that slot! Don’t destroy my dreams that quickly
It means that they ignored all of the testing fans did, and they fixed one minor interaction bug with the ring – while forgetting to fix everything else. They thought the issue was a small scope thing.

Crit damage from Grasping Veins was fixed. But nothing else.

What was the thing they fixed, out of curiosity?
Well, probably. Par for the Diablo course. But normally they are not quite so transparent about the…disregard? contempt? Disinterest? (Whatever word you feel appropriate) they have for their playerbase.

They completely ignored PTR and released Bloodwave on the same overpowered state.
They did the same with Diablo 3 many years ago, releasing bugged patches after 2-3 weeks PTRs.
They dont have QA and they dont use players as QA anymore. Maybe they use some internal IA software that is cheap and its not working at all.

But that’s YOUR job, not ours.
I really appreciate you addressing these issues directly, but those other problems with Mendeln were pointed out earlier by the community, almost as soon as it was verified that something was wrong with the ring.
On one hand, your team shouldn’t have to be told what precisely is wrong with your game by the community. On the other hand, if we do tell you, you should pay attention more. If we’re going to do your job for you, at the very least, please utilize our efforts.
And finally, if you’re looking to the community to find issues, let me reiterate what else we’ve found:
- No bonus damage from Skeletal Priest.
- No bonus damage per minion from Kalan’s Edict.
- Blood Golem does not get bonus damage for being healthy.
- Bloodmoon Breeches do not get the proper bonus to Hellbent Commander on a masterwork crit.

That’s why their bug fixing is just inexcusable imo. They REALLY need things to just work and ways to fix it quickly when it doesn’t.
I think it’s mostly because they just don’t have a proper structure in place for handling all the different builds and consolidating them for patches. It’s why we’re seeing bug fix reversions (because someone screwed the process up) and that only gets fixed with proper coaching and if needed, reprimand.
But that all hinges on getting talent and I assure you Blizzard does NOT get talent because people who are in STEM and are good at their jobs work in other industries with better hours and pay in less expensive parts of the nation/world.
That’s a bigger conversation though. One Blizzard isn’t ready to have. Putting their HQ in Cali was a stupid decision but also ending Remote Work programs is the double whammy of ‘nobody wants to work for us if they have talent’ problem they have.

Please dont believe on those words.
Its 1 month since Season 7 release. Im pretty sure Developers know that Mendeln/Minions are bugged since day 2-3.
I actually have a post or two on the Bug section in this forum and Bug section on Discord very early in the Season.
They dont fix because they dont want to , its a decision they make.

If they sell Warcraft skins and Tyrael skins, Pets, everything is fine.
D4 is a skin/wings/pet show off at this point

I just go by what they choose to tell us. Neither version is a good look for Blizz.
Either they know about the problems and put forth the slowest, most minimal, effort possible to fix them, or they have absolutely no idea about what’s happening in their own game.
I don’t care what explanation they give, I want them to get their “stuff” together.

It’s too little too late; apart from the season just straight up launching unfinished, filled with bugs, and not all that creative (literally just Season 2 with a different UI almost), I’ve uninstalled the game. Last Epoch, Poe2, and all the awesome games coming out this year will take up my time.
D4 has turned into a corporate, soulless husk that feels like it was created/designed/implemented by suits in a boardroom for maximum dumbed-down gameplay and a slot machine environment.
Take some risks Blizzard, or you’re going to do that thing Microsoft does best and have a mediocre product that gets worse and worse over time, then gets ads.

They start their weekend Wed night and get back Tues morning.
So… Um… This is awkward.
The whole reason these fixes were postponed beyond patch 2.1.1 was because it definitely needed a client patch. But now you’re bandying about stuff like “initial takes” and “it may be something”.
Are you telling us you’re just NOW figuring out what the heck is actually wrong with the ring!?
So the delay to patch 2.1.2 was based on, what? Tea leaves? Astrological signs? Pure unadulterated GUESSING?
It certainly couldn’t have been because you understood what was wrong with the ring and how to fix it.
As ever, as a constant reminder until you acknowledge these other problems:
- No bonus damage from Skeletal Priest.
- No bonus damage per minion from Kalan’s Edict.
- Blood Golem does not get bonus damage for being healthy.
- Bloodmoon Breeches do not get the proper bonus to Hellbent Commander on a masterwork crit.

The attack speed is working while the damage is not according to the bugs thread in the necro forum

I am guessing it is such a poor key stone they are redesigning it and didn’t bother fixing any bugs.
