well, props to all the people who've made it to 100 in the past - the going won't be quite as tough now with this, added to the inflationary aspects of Standard at as well.	Posted by timbo1959 on Jul 2, 2015, 1:54:01 PM Quote this Post
Good news. Cannot wait to try it.	Posted by Galtrovan on Jul 2, 2015, 2:56:26 PM Quote this Post
EXCELLENT! It's very frustrating to get lvl 66 maps when running plateaus and such. Something I would like to see is having the affix "monsters fracture" actually give the proper amount of experience per monster killed BUT make affix roll super rare. I think that would be a good balance. Thoughts?	Posted by EDTAkiller on Jul 2, 2015, 3:08:26 PM Quote this Post

This! :) These changes sounds promising and I'm really happy to see that there will be some improvements to the current drop rates. #ThumbsUp German saying: Schönheit und Funktionalität in Sekundenschnelle zu ruinieren, ist dem wahren Dilettanten keine Herausforderung! torturo: "Though, I'm really concerned, knowing by practice the capabilities of the balance team." top2000: "let me bend your rear for a moment exile"	Posted by 666lol666 on Jul 2, 2015, 3:57:59 PM Quote this Post

I think that is a great idea cause that doesnt make any sense to get only quantity ( which is not that insane ) for the amount that it takes compare to a non-fracture map.

" Qarl wrote: In addition to the details on map drop changes in this manifesto post, we are making further adjustment to map drops. 1) Each map boss will have a flat 20% chance to drop an additional map. This will not apply multiple times for maps where a map has multiple bosses, nor will it double up when a map boss is twinned. 2) We are making adjustments to the way map levels are decided, that will reduce the odds of low tier maps being dropped. Together these changes should more than triple the number of +2 maps players would be getting (as well as an improvement of +1 maps), compared to the beta. Any chance maps could simply be limited to -2 to +2 of current map range? Seriously, everyone HATES getting 67 maps in a 77.	Posted by Zaanus on Jul 2, 2015, 5:00:45 PM Quote this Post
I thank you all! This I feel was a must needed change even with the limited amount of time I was able to test maps on beta. Regardless, I really appreciate your guys consistent hard work. Tweaking the little things that still seem off, and continually keeping an eye out for any problems afterwards are one of the biggest things that really show how much you care about the game and in turn the people that play it. So thank you for all your hard work. I will see you all at launch :)	Posted by g00fy_goober on Jul 2, 2015, 5:10:29 PM Quote this Post
