A single soul drop fills both Soulen Receptacles

[CuddilyWuddily]

Just played a match as Doll Maker on Sorrowful Sullenwoods and whenever a soul dropped from a champion or mini boss both Soulen Receptacles filled up with souls.

The dropped soul didn't fly over to the Soulen Receptacles. Instead a puff a smoke appears on top of both Soulen Receptacles and I got souls on both.

I had the Spirit Whispers relic.

Thanks made a note of this to be fixed for the next patch. Btw the way Receptacles work changed a bit in a previous update so they now teleport the Soul to them rather than having the Soul fly across the screen. :]

This is normal, I think? It only happens later on (NGP) for me, never early in the game. So I think there's just some bonus souls awarded for more difficult bosses?

I also noticed something else -- having just the one receptacle will make one soul drop in place while the other goes to the receptacle. So I don't think it's the receptacle that's the problem.

An update on this: I think the issue may be related to the Spirit Whispers relic (the one that turns normal Hero Souls into Spellious Souls). It seems that when I pick this relic, the double soul drops start to happen, even relatively early in the game. Will keep testing.

Thanks for the info. :]

Another update: I can now 100% replicate the effect. If you have at least 1 Soulen Receptacle contraption AND the Spirit Whispers relic, it will duplicate souls.

With a single Receptacle, one normal Hero soul will be left at the original location a champion enemy was killed. A Spellious soul will then also appear in the Receptacle.

Having two receptacles will fill both with a Spellious Soul simultaneously, also duplicating the soul. Having three receptacles does not appear to have any additional effects, only filling two at a time per champion kill.

Thanks, fixed (v36.12). :]

This is going to heavily affect the leaderboard btw. It was a huge power boost.
