Today's Hotfix for Heist

OMEGAPOG/ let's go boys

Niceeeee!

Nice changes!

Mostly good fixes, but turning off alert for killing monsters entirely makes me so sad. Why not just tone it down during lower level heists? Why kill it entirely? If your build is unable to run/sneak past stuff, you could counteract this by leveling and gearing your rogues.

It kills 80% of the planning that goes into a heist and kills much of the excitement during the heist.

Many rogue perks are now useless, and gearing rogues now also becomes much less rewarding.

This was what made heist a fun and unique experience, and it appears it has become just another trivial get-loot mehcanic :(

Am I misinterpreting these changes?

The kiting-incentive sucks really hard, but the direct (non-league mechanic deletion) option seemed to be to move it to alert-on-aggro, not deleting it entirely?

So many braindead players that can't be bothered to commit to the league mechanic for more than a weekend.

If they did, they would discover how actually progressing your rogues and gearing them decently, makes the alert level from killing mobs and opening chests trivial.

Now those alert level modifiers are essentially pointless. Instead of players making meaningful choices in deciding which chests and doors to open, now just kill everything and open everything hurr durr. Strategy like opening doors ahead of you and then back tracking to open a chest that triggers lockdown, so that you have a quick and clear path to the artifact or w/e is pretty much useless now.

Harvest was awful in the way it made crafting insanely over powered, and essentially devalued the "looting" portion of the game. It feels like more and more players just want power and gear handed to them on a silver platter. No thinking, no struggle, no chase. Makes for a seriously boring experience and drives player burn out WAY up.

YYYYYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

These fixes happened SO early on too I freaking love it!

Yay thanks testers it's time to play!
