Today's patch notes:

• The Dwarven Instinct aura will now tick off with time while the player is logged out.

Why make this change? The patch notes never mentioned why, why nerf it this hard when the aura is nothing like greenfingers? It was perfectly fine before to pause timer while in lobby or logged off. Why force players to stay logged in for this aura? Sometimes we have to afk.

Its funny how fast they nerf something which provides a small convenience for players, albeit a tiny convenience in this case, and then forget to fix things that need fixing like the shattered world feeling pumped and dead content ring of death to name a few.

It activates around every 9 minutes, but that timer still caried on when you lobby/log out but the 1-hour aura timer itself was paused. In other words, you could claim a chest every 9 mins over 24 hours so 160 odd chests a day...if you don't sleep or do anything else on that account for more than 1 hour in game time.

It was broken/easy to abuse, and they fixed it.

that honestly was the first thing that came to mind when they made auras not burn while logged out.
