I mean he also hasn’t said a single thing on the Forums in over a month
frankly I was already under the impression he was avoiding the subject.
like when essence released it was a big thing and everyone kinda hated it.
you’d think he’d have something to say about that, but nope.
4 months have passed and he’s only now said “ya know maybe it should be rarer”.
I don’t think vetex understands how miserable searching every inch of mount orthys looking for something and knowing full well there’s an 11/12 chance that its just not there and that you’ll have to find ANOTHER mount orthys to try again is.
I can actually see why Hecate Essence exists, because while most things require some effort to obtain, Magic just exists, so while switching other things is easy, getting them in the first place is harder.
So to choose a different base magic, you have to put in effort just like you would to unlock a different fighting style or weapon.
Problem is: It’s highly disproportionate, why is it so difficult?
yes, hecate essence is great as a concept and should have been in the game on release (just like acrimonies), however it was implemented in what is probably one of the most abysmal ways vetex could implement them.
This is specifically a problem for magic builds tho
All other builds have no issues
yea I can “flip flop” weapons and fighting styles as I please.
I have no idea what vetex is talking about.
Is the size on Pure magics less effective than imbued FStyles or something? I just finished building my Explosion Warlock yesterday and it’s massive
I am running 300 size but I still had enough stats leftover for 280 dmg per hit and 1.8k hp
the texture quality is so ass
I just don’t like how it looks anymore.
It also just isn’t very effective in combat when I use it. Never was, but now that it doesn’t even look great anymore and now that we don’t have big towns like WoM that can be reduced to proper rubble, its just lost its appeal.
I actually just finally found an essence after god knows how much time looking for one and poison magic is doing much much better.
ok theoretical found the essence everyone can go home

nope that doesn’t mean the issue is solved in the slightest.
essence still hasn’t been addressed in any meaningful way by vetex.
its still absolutely horrible.
what gave anyone the idea I was going to just drop the subject because its no longer an issue for me specifically?
this game design is still completely baffling and needs to be addressed.
it was a JOKE you nerd
casually being able to change fighting styles/weapons with the click of a button:

Yeah, those all exist to complement your magic. Magic is supposed to be a permanent part of your character and not something like weapons you can swap out in an instant
What if I just don’t use magic then?
what about pure builds
magic users are just screwed for no reason when literally everything else is so insanely easy by comparison
changing magic changes your build more fundamentally than weapons/spirit weapons
ion have anything for fses
