Aisling lvl 3 Research

This is the second time I've had Aisling in Research and all I've had were stashes for random items. Where is Aislings crafting bench for adding the veiled mod? Am I missing something? I got her to Rank 3 in Research, and on this last one she was the leader of the safehouse this time.

Add veiled modifier is now gated behind the Catarina fight. Raise Aisling to Rank 3 (Captain) in Research, then fight Catarina. It'll be one of the safe rooms.

It's one of the dumbest nerfs they've ever done.

veiled mods got a significant power boost(both mod power and the fact they are permanent mods and not crafted), so its balancing not nerfing.

That's your opinion.
My opinion is that it's nerfed. And since most people don't ever run Catarina, it just makes it even harder for the casuals to get better gear.
GGG showing again that they are clueless.

You are the clueless one here. Betrayal got buffed a lot. Catarina is worth killing now. Veiled crafts are very strong

lol

Catarina was basically never worth running before as it broke highly specific setups on the board(friends and rivalries, etc...), the newer version is alot easier to work for most users.

Aisling was never worth putting into research before either, even if you wanted to try for double veil's the options you got were tied to item ID's so you had one set of suffixes and one set of prefixes to choose from(very hard to get double good), all of which was changed in 3.14

... and what do you know, everybody wants Aisling in research now.

so how do you nerf something completely unwanted by making it wanted?

I personally consider this to be a hard nerf. Not Aisling specifically, but in general

I always liked managing my board, building relationships and making clever choices to get exactly what I want as fast as possible.

People did not want to do the Catarina fight and lose their board, so they increased her rewards multiple times, but it did not help

Now they decided to force people to do what they dont want to do, by nerfing everything else. Whats the point of building relationships now? Whats the point of making someone a leader? (other than preventing him from spawning in encounters lol). half of good outcome pushed to t4, no more double rewards from leaders. Intelligence is being gathered too fast, there is no time to play the board.. The board minigame is almost entirely gone.. just to force you to do the annoying boss fight
