Brainstorming alternative benchmarks to Trapdoor mission
Player-1 replied to Yomo Kimyata's topic in General Discussion
Hello Yomo Kimyata, @Koopak has a thread that may assist with this: Ideally, a mission in AE may be the best case scenario to get a truly neutral playing field for such testing. -

issue 27 Patch Notes for February 20th, 2024 - Issue 27, Page 7

Hello ZorkNemesis, Between RC3.5 and today there were a handful of tweaks to Storm Blast that can be seen in the patch notes regarding the "Storm Brewing" mechanic, increased proc chances, and a change to the jump distance on Chain Lightning. -

Storm Cell casting lightning on itself is fixed internally and will be in the next patch. -

This bug went well beyond powerful synergy between a primary and secondary once we dived into it. Again, this allowed lightning to be cast off of all pets you had summoned which unfortunately varies so wildly depending on the character that we could not rely on the feedback from before this fix due to the difference in pets between characters. With the current changes, we are doing much more thorough testing to get this to a place that is both effective and fun. -

The key factor is that it granted lightning to any pet you have summoned. This means any temp power that is a pet, any vanity pet, lore pet, pseudo pet like trip mines or really all of the Traps powerset. This leads to a huge imbalance based on powerset combination and beyond. -
Focused Feedback: Various Power Updates

To clarify, the bug only affected Blasters, Defenders, and Corruptors due to the Fast Snipe version of Direct Strike being able to provide the Storm Cell Lightning to yourself and all viable pets. Sentinels did not experience this particular bug. This alone meant you could possibly get triple the lightning between Storm Cell, Category Five, and yourself. But with every pet or pseudopet created you would get that many more procs which would be problematic for various reasons. -

Unfortunately due to a bug introduced in Beta, Direct Strike would have been giving Storm Cell, Category Five, Tornado, Sleet, Lightning Storm, and yourself the Lightning procs and over-saturate the amount of intended strikes. This was caught only recently and thus the re-review of the lightning procs. -

Hello everyone, As always I want to thank you all for the feedback! I also want to reiterate that we ask for test results specifically to give more tangibility to your feedback. Some things are black and white if it pertains to a specific change, a power having a single stat changed and nothing else for example. Others are contextual where multiple parts of a kit are altered and playtesting would be required to see how the changes interact off-paper as it were. While we do read all feedback, if there is evidence that goes behind the feedback it gives us something objective to take back and analyze. Videos, recorded times, DPS analysis, and so on can provide valuable data for us from angles we could not cover alone and will give your input much more weight than analyzing the patch notes alone. -
Focused Feedback: Remote/Temporal Bomb

Enemy-facing procs such as Ice Minstrel and Energy Manipulator work as expected, though there may be oddities with Performance Shifter. Are you able to test Energy Manipulator? If you are not able to slot them at all there may be a separate issue. -

Hello @WindDemon21, Please provide actual results between live and beta to back up your claims. Of note, between internal and closed beta testers we saw Storm Blast as a whole, not just Chain Lightning, had on average 20% better results than live. If you are able to show that the same character build in the same content is demonstratedly and repeatedly worse, then I would be happy to take a look at the changes made for Storm Blast as a whole.
