Who wants answers?

Okay, here's the situation. It's not an exploit, and no sorry, it's not really considered creative use of game mechanics either, based on what that term usually is intended to imply. You're free to take advantage of "totem twisting", but be aware -- we do plan to address it at some point in the future.

Q u o t e:


well, that's kind of what I suspected as did many people. I can't help but feel the phrase

"we do plan to address it at some point in the future" really means

"if enough people complain about this it will be nerfed"

anyway, speaking of totems, could you explain the reasoning behind the 2.3 change to grounding totem?


*sigh*

I provide information on a topic I'm constantly getting asked, and it's dismissed as though no one ever cared.

We'd love to prevent "totem twisting" right now, but there are technical limitations that we must overcome first, combined with the fact that it's not a big deal.

Hey, I'm pretty happy with the response.

Its not an exploit and "change in the future" may signal some changes to totem mechanics, or at least that long awaited totem UI.

Hot damn, first again.


Cool, I think making one person happy will actually bring up my average. :P
