[Sulphurea]

I agree with you!
they can also do more easy, puting a bugwisp in purple or yellow color? its time! :')

That would be cool except i'd like a black/dark one since we already have 3 pretty bright

I hope Asommer says yes, or at least that they'll think about it

can you pull the bosses with maelstrom flask?

Most bosses are immune to push/pull effects (though not all of them). Anything that is not immune to push/pull will be affected by this.

Does Elite mode increase the drop rate of items? Or does it only change the amount of gold and difficulty of mobs/bosses?

Yes. The drop chance for items is higher in Elite (in addition to giving more gold, having much harder monsters, and requiring that all four crates survive).

Now, improve it by making it do something unique, like disarming the boss, or silencing it, etc.

You're suggesting a totally different thing. I like the idea of some totally separate usable that does something to eliminate boss hit chance for a while, with or without brief 'stun / no ability use.'

The Maelstrom and Eternal Storm Flasks update... automatically activated on the character's body, then the minions would be attracted to the character, and the AoE range would be 50% greater. The other version could even have armor reduction, or dodge reduction for the attracted minions.

Again you're talking about something entirely different. A wide area pull is useful. A pulsing pull is also useful. Making something that pulls to you (mimic of certain weapon proc) seems fine... for a totally different usable.

In my opinion, allowing the maelstrom & eternal storm flasks to work in timed dungeons is not a sustainable solution to the issue of some classes not having access to skills/weps.

The Maelstrom is not a sustainable replacement for Sorcerer's lack of pull - and we will have a separate public talk on plans to upgrade certain Sorcerer (and possibly Rogue) skills.

So far in this thread I've seen claims that the Golden Grenade is useless in endgame, and I've also seen claims that it will be a total game changer. It's neither; it falls into an in-between category of being 'kinda useful,' but mostly flex.

UPDATE: I have added the Pirate Booty items (Maelstrom, Eternal Storm, Golden Grenade) to the list of items banned from Elite Timed LB and Competitive Events.

I don't like how the three classes are now being so intertwined. If a class has something particular about it, that's fine.

Fair point.

I wish Boss ability had a seperate icon button instead of using the hotbar. With the mixture of gears these days, pets. Boss ability taking up 1 slot is just sad imo.

That's a good idea for the game! +1 for the idea you've created

Should be an amazing event for gold farm. Thank you devs!

Amazing looking event! Hopefully the payouts will be enough to grab people away from campaign maps.

The event looks okay for one week.

Yeah that'll be the main thing I am watching.

Hopefully gold loot from the event will be enough. I think it will be given the amount of time it takes to complete Pirate Booty vs. some of the other campaign maps.

And of course, I also hope the payouts won't be so rich that I get PM's telling me to nerf the gold. That'd be a huge bummer (but we'd do it if necessary).


Best of luck to us all!

@cinco could you just throw in simple pirate vanities recolored in full black?

You read my mind...

And I looked last week. Carefully... and I got nothing.

You know I'm not shy about recoloring stuff - but we have a ton of 'all black' and 'black with (color X)' Pirate vanities already (on top of all the other colors in the rainbow combined on Pirate vanity sets all over the game).

No - I saw it but there was no chance of this happening for the event. Apologies :-)

Are there any plans to bring back guaranteed mythic/arcane itema in locked crates?

[Vrazicak]

Are Kill'ya cannons instant kill and are they present in both modes?

Not currently - and that whole system is under review right now.

Meaning: it doesn't feel like 'guaranteed equipment loot' was particularly successful - as we saw a growing dissatisfaction from players with what they received.
