Sigma 1.1 Bugs & Feedback

[itsme]

Just had some kind of AR rollover glitch where I got 2 combat shrines and wasn't able to hit anything any more until both expired. Character sheet showed 95% chance to hit but it was 5%. Screenshot

Bug with Town portal or Infernal Machine: Town portal disappeared when I used it and I was left at town without a portal to enter.

It wasnt lag either because I didnt get DCd and I was able to do everything normally. I just walked back to Infernal Machine, and it happened twice in one game.

I didn't delete your post, but I can probably help explain why it happened.

We have never aimed to create a "D2 remaster" or to remain true to the vanilla game. Median is its own aRPG built on a heavily modified version of the original engine.

Your comment is the equivalent of going on a DotA site and being upset that you can't base build like in Warcraft 3, or going on the Grim Dawn site and complaining that it's not Titan Quest anymore.

Cheers.

Sometimes on random occasions my character is suddenly unable to walk. I can teleport just fine, but walking is impossible. It works again once I press ESC once, but yeah... I assume some pop up window on windows 10 causes it, cause whrn that happens I can‘t get my mouse in the bottom right corner either. (That happened in my assur Video where my mouse just stopped suddenly before I was able to reach the charm: https://youtu.be/V1FgB9Dy2Pc at around 0:44)

So yeah it would be nice if pop-ups like that wouldn‘t get in the way of median. That never happened in previous patches btw.

Because the way it is now, I have like 20 runestones in my chest, but not a single essence, since I regularly upgrade that charm while I farm.

If you open a portal on the stairs of the void final room and then cilck to enter it from town, the portal just disappears and you stay in town. Tried it twice with the same result.

Ive had a bug come up a few times where as an Amazon, if I die and Pagan Rites triggers from Kabraxis Chest, it revives me during death screen but I have to close the game as it will never respawn me correctly.

Please increase the space for fighting Juris Khan in in Kingdom of Shadows or reduce the number of citizen in the fighting area because its impossible to actually move there when you have a "bad" run OR add a loop to run around in to kite the citizen. this fight is less about skill and more about luck of how many citizen spawn there because you cant do anything when you get surrounded by them and dont have a low cooldown teleport or windform/whirlwind which is just stupid

also the rubberbanding is horrible

Some feedback from me:

TL DR ;
Pros: Resolution, hotkeys, ctrl-click, throwsin, current state of Broadside Skill
Cons; Sprinting, Mana Issues across all builds, both sentry skills in assassin tree, Cyclone Oskill.
Mixed feelings: quest locks, Laughing Ghost, time required to level character past ~110

Overall gameplay;

Increased resolution is straight up goldy, great work on this one, GUI is sweet and nopickup/map reveal hotkeys are really great QOL. Also big props for ctrl-click in inventory management.

However i don't understand the concept of "sprinting". Some characters are required to stay away from enemy and when they run out stamina, they just straight up die because of stunlocks/low hp pool.

Quest locks sometimes seem to be pointless, especially in very first ubers like butcher, creature of flame. I understand when stronger charm is gated behind questlock like Legacy Of Blood and Cathedral of Vanity when these 2 charms combined gives +3 max skill levels which is significant upgrade for any given character.

Mana costs and mana regen is straight up stupid for spellcaster characters as they have no way of mana sustain on bosses without ads. I think that either mana cost of most skills should be at least halved, or mana regen and mana regen mystic orbs should be significantly buffed so with enough mo space used, your mana regen is alot faster thus making spellcaster gameplay much more smoother (except that perfectly balanced mana skill from sorc). Currently even mana potions don't help alot. As an effect, staying away from casters for now even though enemy immunities are one of the best changed in SIGMA. Many of these mana issues apply also for attack based characters. My point here is that investing into pure mana regen should be a profitable and considerable choice when making a build.

Also I'm not sure what to say about leveling characters past level 110. Feels a little to grindy but that's maybe because I have slower clearspeed? Level requirement for ubers is indeed cool thing but leveling a character to that point feels just abit to long.

Commenting classes i tried:

ASSASSIN

► Show Spoiler

Bombs/Sentrys
Extremely underpowered in current state of the game. I had full investment into fire spell damage, +skills, fire pierce and still fireball sentry felt like shit. Literally. It definitely need damage numbers rework (1 point twin fang had more damage than maxed out sentry), maybe add additional targets to pre-explosion barrage, shotgunning on explosion, idk. Imo this skill needs major rework in next patch, I stopped playing bombsin on level ~90 and went throwsin which turned out to be okay (currently lvl 124). Same applies for electrofield sentry, didn't play alot with it but i noticed that it needs and area of effect characteristics (projectiles always piercing) in stage before explosion, and maybe bigger aoe(not sure?).
PS. Also, fireball sentry looked better when it had fireball gfx, not fire bolt.


Throw (non-scorpion blade)

Storm Crows - Great skill, using it atm for teganze grind to 125, however losing knives is sort of annoying in some situations but can be skipped with investment in 2 specific SU, and I still have no idea what qualifies for "when hit" on this skill. Is good and fun to use, especially on bosses.

Maelstrom - Great skill, however 90% to magic conversion straight up disables life leech abilities. Regardless of that, great skill for clearing, very fun to use.

Wychwind - Builds up little slowly but does nice damage for stationary targets, quite effective with psychic scream (mobs run back into rift effect). Personally preferred blue flame version because it was easier to see it in darker instances.

Broadside - Feels like great support skill in close range combat in current state of game (i mean IT DOES NOT LOCK OUT OTHER RANGED SKILLS!!!). I think that if it was left as non-rangelocking skill even at cost of lower WDM like 66%, that would be great change, so you can choose between Storm Crows and Broadside for single target depending on what skill you like more. If this skill is meant to be back in it's lockout-state it obviously needs it's 150% WDM back, if you want to play pure ranged. (Also thanks for ruining infinite broadside chain by nerfing meshif's iron parrot kek. xD)

DRUID

► Show Spoiler

I wanted to try out the bow druid, but I knew he always was lacking the single target abilities at range. Hence i wanted to check out the "Cyclone" oskill from quivers since I seen that it works like Ancient's Hand. Unfortunately, aiming with this skill is straight up impossible, skill effect is literally NEVER going where it is aimed and i think that this might be fixed by making Cyclone go in straight line but maybe reducing it's speed in exchange, so you actually have to learn how to aim in bigger range. Then having this skill would be an considerable trade due to a fact that you need to sacrifice quiver slot for this oskill.

After testing that, I moved back to Laughing Ghost. I'm not exactly sure how to feel about single-target abilities of this skill. Sometimes it hits harder at center, sometimes not, probably due to some server desync stuff. But I'm sure that explosion should occur at the aim point, not fixed distance. To make it fair exchange, skill could have much less aoe with 66% or more WDM so it can become pure single target skill like paladin's divine judgement or necro's carnage (when maxing skill until level 8, otherwise timer is there)

Elfin weapons - not sure how to feel about this passive having Bow Damage bonus but all druid ranged skills can be used with either bow or crossbow.

Nova Shot - insanely fun and powerful skill in point blank range, 100% fire conversion lets you additionally scale damage with fire pierce, however it eats mana crazy fast and there is no way to leech it back (no phys dmg at all, mentioned mana issues earlier in post). In addition, it is suicidal to teleport into boss and keep shotgunning as bow druid. Especially uneffective with quest lock present on some ubers, hence why i wanted to try cyclone as ranged single target.

So I equip my two Lacerator's and this happens...any idea why guys?
