I was confused as to why I was not seeing more Bone Storm while having Lidless Wall and 2 sacrifices. So I tested out some things and here is what I found out:

- The Bone Storm around your golems count towards the limit. Which means you will not proc more while the ones around your golems are active.

- For some reason, the Lidless Wall buff expires while I still have Bone Storms active.

- The Barrier from the Bone Storm node only procs when a Bone Storm appears, so the ones around the golems do not count, and the barrier expires.

What I think is better: One golem instead of three

- Because you can now spawn Bone Storm yourself, Bone Storm keep proccing with it, so the Barrier buff keeps being applied.

- You can triple sacrifice for 5 Bone Storms because you don't need your mages to proc barrier (if you can get away with a 50% perma barrier instead).

- Bone Storms keep following you and the buff does not expire. It is easier to proc Lucky Hits.

- The bottom nod of Golem increase cast speed of minions, so they buff your more often.

TLDR: I think it's easier and more convenient to maintain Bone Storm and its buffs with One golem instead of three when you have Lidless Wall.

I have always had multiple mods. I have most of the Reinforcements, Worthy AI, and Timmeh's mods. It was never an issue before last patch. Since the new update, everytime I start Gladius for the first time of the day, the first loading screen just buffers infinitely. The only way I have found to bypass this is to unsubscribe from a mod I have so the game crashes on startup and disable all mods by itself. The second boot works, I re-enable the mods, and then the game starts normally again. I have tried disabling all mods in the launcher before shutting down my PC for the next time, but once I restart the game, it buffers again. Making it crash is the only reliable way I have found to be able to play.

Anyone has had the same experience, and/or a solution?
