In addition to the changes, which you can read all about in full detail down below, Grinding Gear Games has also stated that they are working on performance issues
I hope these performance issues include more texture bug fixes. I know they mention some in a previous patch but I feel they've just gotten worse and I sometimes miss things like metamorph or strongboxes coz only the tool tip shows, art assets are missing :(
Definitely a good announcement but also unexpected and early. Guess Blizzard wanted to show something at Gamescon to try excite the players still playing 😅
This is a decent amount of new content but would've been nice if we saw a round of wild nerfs along with all the buffs but guess this is a twist focus patch disguised as wild 🙃
Yay! Now I don't need to keep logging out the game when I know I can't win 😑
In all seriousness, I had no idea what was going on and I've played HS BGs and Dota underlords before. They need a better tutorial guide coz I had to watch a streamer first before I realized I could buy units 🤦♀️got way too much carpel tunnel syndrome from the constant clicking 😅
I appreciate the Anomalies feature seeing as it's been seen before in Tombs or Terror and Mercs (somewhat). The Anomalies shown so far really shake up the game and they'll make each game feel even more unique than they currently do. I'm assuming quests are being removed though but could get very interesting if they're kept in the game with Anomalies
I am beyond happy to see there's a Titan Quest 2 in the works. The first game was a childhood favorite and the first ARPG that got me into the genre. I couldn't play Diablo 2 once I saw the glory that was Titan Quest!
Tempest Rising also looks promising. Reminds me of C&C Generals/Tiberium Wars
They most likely want all the focus to be on the new Titans expansion for Standard for about a month. Also re-releasing Twist a month into the expansion gives players something new to do once the Standard meta has settled down.
Blizzard like spacing out their content like this, happens in every game. They started doing this after K&C where they had released Dungeon Runs and the expansion at the same time. Everyone was more interested in the Dungeon Runs so the expansion took a back seat.
Notice how he chose the visage of a human, eons before the human race existed.
Now this is gonna bother me till the end of time. Also Neltharion/Deathwing was the only Aspect to choose a human visage while the rest stuck with Night Elf. Not gonna dig up old lore but I'm assuming it's likely a plot hole left by Blizzard when creating the Cataclysm expansion coz I don't know if his visage was shown before that expansion. Obviously Dragonflight delves into his backstory a bit more but that's more recent.
I'm assuming the OP didn't see the battlecry: "for the rest of the game" which ofc makes this legendary waaaaaay better than if it was an aura that only worked when the legendary was on the board
This is such a cool TB but we've only had it 3 times!? 😱
I'd imagine DK to be particularly good seeing as you're guarenteed to get lots of corpses. The below mention of eggs and Korrak sound good too.
Yea same 😁 saved my packs for the mini set seeing as I may need to use some gold to purchase Caverns of Time packs (will try resist spending money)

I can confirm now that this is not a hallucination

Damn, 3 years since we've seen this brawl! 🙀 Blizzard dusting off the old brawls, removing all the cobwebs etc😅

I think Blizzard is just gonna up the mana on these 2 cards by 1 and call it a day
I have died to this bug so many times, glad it's finally fixed.
Overall a big W patch but tbh, 1.1.0 was the worst patch in all ARPG history so I guess they cancel each other out🙃
D4 still isn't in the clear. They didn't address the off screen kills (especially that bloody Corpse Bow) and on death effects aside from Death Pulse.
Also didn't they say in the live stream that they were getting rid of certain Nightmare Dungeon affixes like Cold Enchant and Resource Burn?
Edit: The following information is missing above:
The following Nightmare Dungeon affixes have been removed:
Felt bad farming all the new players in this TB (new players coz they only used basic/classic cards and actually played minions)
With all the totem support in the past few expansions, I'm glad Blizzard finally made this fix, better late than never

Damn, was too busy playing Diablo to actually play Diablo in Duels 😅
I can already expect at least 1 quest will require us to forge cards X number of times
Damn, now I want to buy the Tavern pass just for those signature Astral Serpents alone
Also:
Whenever I see ancient or ancestral now, my brain goes into Diablo mode 😅
