    Policy Discussion (Part 1 - Leaks)

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 01:44 PM PDT

    Foreword: To anyone considering posting another corona named item, it will be removed regardless of context. It was barely funny the first time, and far from it the 70th time. Now with that out of the way….

    Hey all!

    First and foremost, we hope all of you are as safe and healthy as possible. Most of the mod team has had minor to major disruptions to their schedules over the last week, as I'm sure many of you can relate, which has caused disruptions in our moderating capabilities. We're just about stable again and as such we wanted to talk about a number of things regarding the sub and how it's handled.

    NOTE: We have a number of additional topics to cover, hence the 'Part 1'. We are quite aware of strong opinions in other areas but please keep it to leaks for now!

    Our current policy

    For those who don't know, we've had a reactive policy for leaks. We've been largely spoiled (heh) with GGG's decent lockdown on league info pre-release and most of the time there's very few leaks. When there are multiple leaks, we make a spoiler-filtered megathread to consolidate/isolate them as a compromise between the spoiler/no-spoiler crowd. This has only been needed once in the past year.

    If there's simply one leak roaming around and we're within 24 hours of launch, we tend to not bother with a megathread as leaks by nature can be unreliable and without new material, the megathread itself tends to get buried and defeats the purpose of the consolidation (people post the same leak because they don't see the megathread and we remove the post anyway. There's no functional change after an hour or two). A good example of this was for Exilecon. There was a single 4-5 second clip showing the revamped Lioneye's Watch/Hillock roaming around. We stuck to removing that specific leak until more leaks popped up (which they did) and at that point we consolidated as normal.

    Why it's not working anymore

    In case you missed it, Delirium league had a portion of its patch notes from the Chinese Realm leaked a few hours before the official announcement. This put us in a very awkward position for the following reasons:

    • It was one single leak, which put us in the aforementioned bind of a megathread being a 1-2 hour band-aid at best.
    • It was being advertised as from an official source (specifically the post in question linked to the Chinese forums, we later found out the patch notes weren't there but we had to treat it at face value at the time).
    • It was a discussion heavy piece of content. In the past leaks were limited to a sentence or two in a press release or a simple screenshot. This leak had a lot of big number changes that naturally got people talking/discussing. This will only happen more in the future.

    Combined with the sub's explosive growth over the last few months, we've come to the realization that dancing between the lines of allowing all or no spoilers has become haphazard to enforce and (understandably) hard to interpret from the user end.

    What do you think?

    It's hard for a good faith user to know what's being done about leaks if they're all being removed and if we (the modteam) highlight leaks ourselves, we're unintentionally supporting their distribution. So our best bet is to be proactive and iron out a clearly defined policy that the sub can see and more importantly can expect league after league.

    To that end: what are your thoughts?

    • Should we remove all spoilers as they come, leave them for the votes to decide, or stay with our current stance?
    • What do you think about leaks/spoilers in the post title?
    • Does another subreddit have a leak policy you like?
    • Additional suggestions are welcome, but bear in mind we can't pin a third post!

    We'd like to hear from as many people as possible so please feel free to discuss.

    This isn't required and will not decide policy by itself, but will be helpful to keep track of numbers

    I cannot explain how good this feels. I feel like I achieved Ascension in real life.

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:06 AM PDT

    After putting my Doctor card for 17.5 Ex and 4 people tried to scam me in the course of an hour, I got a little fed up and was expecting the next person who tries to trade me to do the same thing.

    What these guys would do is put 17 exalts in the trade but not the right amount of chaos and then make it look like they made a mistake and cancel it, then they'd trade again and put 11 ex (10 ex stack + 1 in a different stack) and put the right amount of chaos and then accept. This scam is ridiculously old and originates back from the Diablo 2 days where people would put a Tal Rasha armor in the trade and then cancel trade and put a gemmed Gothic Plate or a Rattlecage. This is a scam a 7 year old child could do. The good old switch-a-roo.

    So after getting so fed up and annoyed, I decided to keep a "The Damned" divination card in my inventory instead of a The Doctor, and what do you know, the next person tried to scam me with the same tactic. I put in The Doctor first and he cancelled the trade, then when he traded and put in the currency I put in The Damned instead and he accepted. I got 11 ex and 60c.

    Don't really care if someone says I'm a hypocrite in this situation. I would never scam anyone and never will. But I feel like I just killed a small tumor that's contributing to causing a cancer in our community. Hopefully this douche learned a lesson and decides to change his ways from this event that exposes that karma is real.

    Let's take a moment to appreciate the Dweller of the Deep, shall we?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 08:24 AM PDT

    Leveling another alt, I found the Dweller of the Deep fight mildly intriguing. I mean, for a crab in a cave at level 4 or something it has some basic understanding of military tactics that most bosses in the game seem to lack.

    While it's on melee form, it spawns ranged attackers so they can provide ranged firepower while its shell can endure enemies

    When it gets put into its more fragile ranged form, it calls melee crabs to distract the assailant while it shoots from afar

    This is some Art of War bullshit right here.

    Keep Cluster Jewel as a CORE GAME MACHANIC NOT LEAGUE MECHANIC

    Posted: 27 Mar 2020 11:24 PM PDT

    Cluster Jewel is one of the most creative and build enabling item in the game since the introduction of influenced items. It creates so much more build diversity and I really enjoyed it. The mechanic fit in perfectly to GGG game design which is diversification but also the jewels itself balance out by making you spending passive points (which is a significant opportunity cost as well). The more you use cluster jewels, the more you potentially lose out on passive tree nodes and not to mention the pathing points towards outer jewel sockets. Whoever designed this really deserved a pay rise to my opinion.

    Please GGG do not make these jewel be a league mechanic. I have been enjoying my build enabled by cluster jewel and I DO NOT WANT MY BUILD ENABLER to be gated by being "League-exclusive" or the low 10% league mechanic occurance (if Delirium make into core game). I want cluster jewel and only cluster jewel to be available as it is right now even at mapping.

    I understand some unique cluster jewels are OP so they can be a bit more restricted. However, for rare cluster jewels, they should not.

    This is what a Simulacrum with 2 split arrow builds looks like after 20 rounds. Please make arrows disappear after a short time.

    It seems obvious after finding out, but it never even occurred to me until now that the quality currency recipe works even on catalysted jewelry.

    If you ever come across a rare item which has the Name "corona" in it. Can your first thought please not be "aight, imma posting this on reddit right now". Too many, and it's getting old. It was an interesting coincidence the very first time. But thats it.

    Suggestion: GGG Please Remove 3 Watchstone T14 Maps

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 08:34 AM PDT

    Title. It's frustrating when there's 70+ TYPES of t14s in your stash and some of them can't proc conquerors so you need to manually check every single map as you approach AL8/once in a while after that and compare it with your atlas to see if they are t14 at 3 watchstones or 4. Please make the maximum tier at 3 watchstones 13 so that there is no confusion at all about whether the t14 you have can proc conquerors or not. I don't see any negatives of removing the 3 watchstone t14s that currently exist, because they get boosted up to t16s at 4 watchstones anyway and only exist to confuse players who are trying to spawn Sirus. If you can think of any drawbacks of this suggestion, please comment it so we can all discuss further.

    Singapore realm stability continues to be an issue every single league

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 06:49 AM PDT

    Over the last few days Singapore realm has become almost unplayable during peak hours at night. The latency is spiking anywhere from 15 - 150 ms and becomes choppy to the point that it is unplayable. This keeps happening every league yet GGG does nothing to address this issue.

    5 months ago The attention that server issues are getting are appalling. Japan/Singapore servers are unplayable.

    6 months ago Singapore server is still unplayable. I'm tired of talking about this. No one in GGG gives a shit about us huh.

    9 months ago Singapore/Japan Server - 7pm-1am daily

    Can someone from GGG please respond or at least acknowledge this ongoing issue? Why is this region ignored when it comes to server stability?
