temporal chains

the new update to this is so bad, specially when you get a map with cold area patches... then literally cant even get out of the circle aoe of temporal chains... you literally turn into a turtle... i have 35% movement speed boots and just logged off and havent been back on the game

Agree, imrovement to temporal chains made it eventually even worse: huge AOE area, cast every 2 seconds, -40% speed penatly for 20 seconds. Effectively forces players either to use endless slow protection or chill around for 20 seconds if hit by chains. Then you go to boss fights and die anyway, because oss arenas are 80% covered by temporal chain AOE.

Literally, if you get TC mod on map - just consider you lost the map, random map mod happened to be TC - gg, forget about this map or level progression, because you going to die anyway.

I don't understand, why it has to be -40% and 20 seconds debuff? Old -20% forever were even somehow palyable...

The needless terrain clutter is the bigger problem. I'll take the former Curse implementation over this bloat.

I think it just needs some balancing.

I think they made some tweaks already where it activates a bit slower. But it still lasts too long and happens too often. I would like to see it activate a bit slower. Last like 8sec instead of 20. And for the effect to be brought down a bit. I know there are tools for mitigation but even specced into that a bit it stlil feels overtuned. I wouldn't even mind if they made the area a TINY bit bigger if it was something we could more easily avoid or deal with when it does it.

Again, I am pretty sure I've noticed changes to it already. But it still feels too punishing without contributing to "meaningful gameplay" in any engaging way.

Temporal chains is not gameplay, it is trolling your players. This is not even close to appropriately setup to be in the game. Especially taking into consideration various builds and nearly endless variables.

This is lazy. It is incoherently bad. It is the completely opposite of fun.

This post was 10x longer, but it was all swearwords with temporal and chains threw in at random.
