Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

They haven't fixed the magic find stacking bug either so once you're at endgame you can stack magic find to 10k+% and do one "rift" and basically get gear to drop for 20mins and pick up what you want until you inevitably crash.

Stash still have items disapearing, you can get story blocked at various points, you can not obtain certain 1 time rewards(like apocalypse form additional points) and so on. Apparently there's only 74uniques in the game too, not that gear seems very important since endgame seems fairly poorly balanced with everything just being too easy anyway. A good amount of passives outright don't work or are actively negative(the ES leech one makes you lose all your ES whenever you hit something), a bunch of the skill mods either don't work, or are OP due to working a weird way.

I get that some people find the game fun and that's fine but it's clearly unfinished and untested.

The MF stacking doesn't appear to be present in Online play, and I've done what I thought would trigger it. You could see the amount of MF on your character sheet details, but that has remained 0% for hours yesterday (you could get it to keep stacking each time you zoned, even if you didn't know about it).

Edit: I did notice that Treasure maps might be broken now though. While doing in offline on Saturday, they would exactly as they stated: spawn a zone with lots of chests throughout. While playing Online yesterday, I ran 3 Treasure maps, none of those maps had chests at all.

Yeah it looks like the bosses in this game are no joke, lol. Also the game might be buggy, unfinished mess, whatever, its fun as hell for now IMO well worth the $40. If youre wanting some polished up and layered over the years experience like POE, well this is probably not for you. But this genere is kinda lacking in decent games of this type and I welcome them all.

Just scratching the surface of the builds etc.... Huge possibilities. Especially if you go some kind of hybrid.

Well, take "build diversity" with a grain of salt, because huge chunks of the passive tree either just play do not work, or work entirely differently than their description, or have decimals in the wrong place and break the entire game like this one....

I don't care much about duping issues cause that's all just personal choice stuff that I can avoid. Only time duping/character editing stuff is annoying is if you're trying to play multiplayer and someone pops in with a 3758738788869940 dmg weapon (hi2u Titan Quest).

This thread is so weird. Half of you are saying the game is essentially unplayable (especially online) and the other are saying it's fun as hell and well worth $40.

Well, which is it? Because a barely playable bug riddled mess is not worth $40. It's not even worth $5.

Definitely don't buy it then, it's a huge dumpster fire right now.

It technically functions in offline mode, unless you are unlucky enough to get your quest progress reset or your save file corrupted. But even then a ton of skills don't function as described, or even some at all (minions for example just do not work, they have essentially 0 AI and don't move or attack at all usually).

It'd be less of a hilarious shame if the game wasn't actually fun, but the core of it in terms of combat/visuals/audio and just playing it is pretty good.

I'm not impressed with bladestorm ability at all, can't fuckin spin to win? WTH is going on with the world.

Apparently one of the devs posted in the discord that they're going to 'take action' against people who abused dupes and stuff, and said they recommend not trading with people just in case, lol.

That's hardly a fair assessment. People in this very thread have talked about skills that are broken, useless, don't work as intended. Act 2 and 3 being mostly placeholder content outside of the on rails main questline and Act 1 being the only real complete Act. Dupes, Character progress resetting (even in offline mode) etc, etc, etc. Online not being available is a HUGE problem when it comes to a game like this because one of it's biggest draws is going to be co-op.

By all accounts the game barely works but can be fun if you pick one of the few builds that is actually implemented and don't mind the glaring bugs (and they are glaring). Pyros beat the game in about 8 hours apparently and there is no end game yet so no real replayability. This isn't a game yet, and it's very clear it's not worth $40 and that's part of Kirun's point. A lot of people seem to not care about being a discerning customer when it comes to games these days and it allows developers like this, to "release" games in this kind of a state.

Of course, but you're recommending a crappy product to other people and being disingenuous about the state of the game as it stands right now.
