Jesus... fuck reddit. Should just shut down the “official” forums so we can stop wasting our feedback.

As long as these forums don't have a way to rate comments, it will always be inferior to reddit. Not to mention the calibur of the average redditer is way higher than this place, which then produces actually sensible feedback.

Nah, upvotes and downvotes are abused by the masses. You have to actually curate the results yourself which is no different to the forum here.

As to the other half your your comment that is just fishing :p you get the same people posting on both, ratio of good to bad posts is exactly the same as long as you ignore the official forum being the home of "i got scammed".

So actually almost nothing changed, I still have to log in to gain master mission... And I’ve thought I’ll b able to play bit more of delve or incursion than before cos all my daily stacks while I’m offline at work for days...

A board like this is better suited for longer-winded, more thorough discussions, but there is a reason internet boards are a dying breed. Back myyyyyy days an internet board was almost as fast as a chat. By the time you posted a comment, 3 new replies had already been posted. By the time you reacted to these new replies, 3 even newer...

But it has fallen out of favor, and we live in the world of twitter and reddit. It is much faster, involves much more people (there are plenty of lurkers who only read, rarely if ever post), while still maintaining a structure. Ie. even if the first 3 top posts to a reddit suggestion are in favor of that, the fourth one may be arguing against it, and you can view that discussion separately. At the end of the day, reddit gives a chance for much more people to raise their voice, while being faster and more convenient than a board like this.

Neither reddit nor this board is immune to stupidity, and you will always get your bad apples, so it can't be said that one is strictly better than the other. So I don't blame developers for opting to rely more on reddit. If we were developers, we would quickly find ourselves doing the same.

On a completely unrelated topic - I've been meaning to ask you this for a while: What is with that name? As in, what's it supposed to mean? Cheers!

You don't have to actually do them. You can log in and just log out immediately after, or log in and play whatever you want and it'll stack up for later. Not quite the same as before. If you're offline for a long time then yeah, it's equivalent. But it does make the days you are playing the game much better.

I usually work away for few days or week so I’ve kinda hoped for once I get home I’ll have some missions stacked, as is impossible for me to log in every day except to forums on my phone;) Well hope those missions will stack in standard too and won’t reset after league. That way I could log in to standard once in time and do just delving for a bit like in delve league;) depends how long i won’t touch standard;)

Wonder if we have to log into each mode/league that we want missions for separately.

Yeah pretty disappointing:(

some people are saying nothing has changed.
others are saying this is great.

So, at worst, it's "the same" (which wasnt bad to start with). But i'm going to bet, in practice, it's going to be better for a lot of people even if you dont feel that way right now.

If i only have an hour to play in a day, i do not have to spend the first 20 minutes making sure i do all the master missions. I can just map, and come back to those missions on another day when i have time. Or just bank up 4 alvas and do an ENTIRE TEMPLE start to finish.

ALSO, you're forgetting about the other change. Masters are not on a specific map anymore. If you have a red tier mission available, it can be on ANY red tier map you want. No more whack a mole hoping to have the exact correct map for your daily.
