Q4 Dev Q&A Stream Recap What happened with the Medal of Cedric? Why did it get nerfed? – Programming error. Design intention was to be a multiplier on the base chance. Original design was to provide a stackable 20% boost to the base modifier to cleanse per round (10 + 20% = 12% on turn 1, 20 + 20% = 24% on turn 2, and so on). Coding team implemented the medal’s effects in a different way than was designed. – Went live at a flat 40%. Was missed by practically everyone, including Sirrian. …

Fact checks:

@Lyrian

As we all know at this point, the 5.0 release was well… barebones, and it was significantly late to the point where compensation events were run (such as the boosted gnome rate Vault event), which almost never happens.

Iirc this was for Illithia, not 5.0.

@Lyrian

as we all know, COVID happened and the operations of the game was significantly impaired.

This obviously makes sense, and seems quite possible from the WFH situation, but has anyone from the development team actually stated that development has been impaired or pushed back, as a result? And if so, on forums, stream, global chat, Discord (i.e. – source?)?

It just seems more like a speculated probability more than something “we all know”.
