Development Manifesto - Aura Reservation and Reduced Mana Support Gem Change - Forum

I would prefer aura reservation scale with aura quality, making it like 0.2%/1q would be better than forcing use into enlighten. -only one person ever in my 6000+ hours of playing cared about aura quality. -Roughly 60% of players i know used Enlighten for gem leveling, what made it nice optional extra, not something that players had to use.

I admire your passion going into a thread like that and trying to be reasonable, But you won't get into these people's heads with reason or common sense. As you've rightfully pointed out, they're here to cry and make a scene, let them do so and come back with reason once the dust has settled and only those who really care stay to (hopefully) discuss this in a more civilized manner. Right now, the crybabies fear the thought of getting their candy taken away, and even the most concrete vision of a chocolate bar that might come along with that won't shut them up. Personally, i LOVE this thread. All those tears, just glorious. Talking about logic and sense, explain the logic behind this change? The logic seems quite illogical to me when ggg takes away our "candy" just to give it back in the next sentence, only this time covered in shit. Look at the top of page 18. Fair enough. I will take my time and see what more changes the horizon has in front of me. But i doubt anything good will come out of this. "Axe bad! Fix please!"

I just want to step by to say I like the red mana replacement by enlighten. If it gives high level, high invested players an option to get +1 aura to run this goes very much in line with other high level power boosts like i.e. an empower for spell caster builds or a 6-link or shavs for low life. That said the power of it should be lower then a red mana lvl 20 is now (or the same for lvl 4 maybe) and the new system should allow you to run an aura + 2 heralds or even more if you invest into aura nodes. Making the leveling requirements of build required auras easier.	Posted by MrLordCaptain#7643 on May 8, 2015, 5:16:15 AM Quote this Post

I feel that you were suggesting I would make an abrasive and antagonistic comment on the matter so I asked you very rationally not to misquote me. Pretty simple really. Make Things For Smile!

Making the leveling requirements of build required auras easier. There is no option though. Anyone high level needs to be running this to get another aura like you said. Empower isn't mandatory, and it's only useful for certain builds that scale really well with levels. Enlighten will be mandatory, and that is fact. Edit: On a side note. All the people who say they like the change seem to completely misunderstand the impact of enlighten and how it will be a mandatory gem at high levels.

Another change that benefits the top 1% of players while shafting the rest	Posted by _Trekka#3659 on May 8, 2015, 5:24:36 AM Quote this Post
Am i the only one who is sad that we have no more gem to speed up leveling other gems? I like enlighten in its current (live) form. Its sad that it only works for active skill gems and not supports, but i still use it. Im sad its gone now :(	Posted by JimmyDeSoto#3824 on May 8, 2015, 5:25:50 AM Quote this Post

Making enlighten the new reduced mana is a big step back, it will become as mandatory as RM is, but just stupidly long to levelup and difficult to obtain for most players. One step forward and one step back: it's not what i'd call 2.0 GGG. Werd. Listen to this man. takes 4 character leveling to 90 to make a single Enlighten 3 with 20Q. (5 with 0q) Many ppl dont even have 4 level 90s. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on May 8, 2015, 5:31:00 AM	Posted by Aim_Deep#3474 on May 8, 2015, 5:27:42 AM Quote this Post
