Minion and Mendeln Bugs Persisting After Patch

Honestly greatly disappointing news, you advertise this build at the beginning of the season and its always been my favorite kind of build to play, but nope it isnt up there. You then promise a patch so we wait till 2.1.2 it is listed as one of the key things in the patch notes and nope still not fixed. Who even did QA on the Mendeln fix? How do you list it in the patch notes when its not fixed? What was even fixed on it?

You guys have had several attempts at this. The job needs to be verfied done when you say it is in the notes or your patch notes have no value or meaning. We should not be your testers to verify patches are working. Team should have delved into this on the very first time this was said it was fixed. You need to do better here or your reputation will suffer. Thanks for trying I suppose and the update.

Quick thought but maybe Bliz could offer positions to the ppl that are running circles around them in the testing department with meticulous results and line by line examples.

Also the next patch saying this is finally fixed better be right or its going to be an army of necros in full torch and what is pitchfork equivalent for necros?

Having worked software quality control in the past, I’m somewhat boggled as to how the full array of patch fixes didn’t get in. I can think of reasons, but none of them are really good.

This is troubling, at best. Wasn’t the team supposed to dive into it some more before working on the fixes? Wouldn’t that have gone a long way towards getting the full slate of bugs fixed? & anyway, haven’t these issues been known for a long time?

None of this speaks well of your QA management.

anyway, haven’t these issues been known for a long time?

The rings been bugged since it was introduced into the game, basically.

This is lip service.

Good on this dude for finally showing up to the forums though instead of posting something to his exercise twitter.

i’d love to know how it ONLY fixed this part of it and just…didn’t fix anything else.
at this point, just bake this damage into a few paragon boards/glyphs so it isn’t all bottlenecked into this one damn item that breaks whenever someone looks at it sideways.

I have no faith in this team’s ability to balance the game; please try to steal some developers from the POE team.

pls include a fix to Summoner Damage Bonus on minion/golem thorns dmg. This doesnt works since Season7 PTR.

2.1.3 doesn’t sound like a mid season patch either. No new midseason patches moving forward. Can we still expect mid season campfire chats?

It looks to me that all resources are already moved to expansion 2b…

You are a God for this post. At least with this I can make the most of Blizzard’s half assed attempt to give us Minionmancers what we paid for.

I’m currently running a Darkness Bone Storm build :slight_smile: and been theorycrafting some other potential speedfarming builds for Necro, but excited to dive into some fantasy-themed druid builds too that I’ve been concocting.

The best part about S7 so far, out of all the things, is totally the armory. It allows every class for the first time the option to make separate builds that aren’t all Power Builds. We never rly could go all-in on a pure speedfarming build before bc it wouldn’t be strong enough to push the Pit, or handle bosses, but now we can have separate builds that are designed specifically for each activity. Which means that there are legit like, so many more truly viable builds than ever would have been considered before. It’s rly fun, tbh.

Hi Adam,

Can I have my s3 battlepass cosmetics back?
K? Thx. :hamster: :popcorn:

That’s cute that you think 2b of development resources moved to xpac development. More likely the mothership re-allocated it to buy more Nvidia chips, nuclear energy, and AI overlord development…err…I mean ‘co-pilot’ for windows… :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I’m sorry, but at this point I really have to ask:

Which team are you talking about? Your in-house guys, or “the community”?

[Edit]
Almost forgot to add my new tagline:

  • 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.

How do you have all this money and you can’t even get the best of the best people to work for you is beyond me. Blizzard is worth what $80 BILLION (whatever Microsoft bought you out with) or something like that? And you can’t hire the best devs in the business? All while selling loads of all these super expensive “MICRO” transactions that players gobble up?

I mean I have an idea as to why you won’t or don’t……

The worst season after the first. Everything is buggy, the game is constantly, something doesn’t work, something is disabled. The developers can’t make a game, so they always mess with working builds and always cut something off and cut it off so much that the build you played last season becomes unplayable. Instead of making a game, they do some crap.Everything was so good that I stopped logging into the game…

This is just for Necromancer, Minions and a single item.

Now let’s amplify this for every build and class. The Class forums should ABSOLUTELY have a Sticky where players can post and test everything.

Let’s look at Barbarian Lucion’s and what all does not work with it.

Let’s look at Barbarian and Third Blade and what does not work.

Carrotfeets is right and its my point too. IF one ring is supposedly fixed multiple times and still broken then what else is broken? How can we have faith that anything at all works? How can you make a proper build and have fun if even 10% of what you choose is broken? Or 25% or 50%??? All the faith in system is being lost and replaced with doubt. WE need the community to test everything because Bliz cant do it? This is unreal. This is a new low. Do we need to proofread your cookbooks too? When is Microsoft going to take action and take control of the ship headed for the reefs?

It’s hit the reefs, my guy. Skidded by them – made it to the Atlantic and smacked into every berg it could see (That’s right, I said they’re doing it intentionally)
