Oh I also dnt understand all the hate people on reddit making comments on the explanation posted.

I dnt also get why memes over this subject got over 2000 upvotes in few hours.

says Chris !!!!!


Now let me explain why for you.

simply put, its because you dnt know how to sell your product. and you still think your dealing with 10 year old kids who understand nothing .

well let me tell you that a 10 year old kid these days has much more access to knowledge than a 30 year old man 30 years back in time. and people really dive deep into this game and have more knowledge of it than most of your dev team.

having said that , you could have told the truth behind the reason of this orb, which I will gladly help you this time and explain it for people.

The only reason behind this orb is to cut the items shown by the Neversink filter to about 10 % , in other words as its known filters will not show white items even if they were good bases level , same way now filter will not show 90% of the items that drop because people know they dnt want to have a bad base to craft on , so they dnt pick it up , people will pick up only bases with rolls 18/20 to 20/20

in other words its a smart way of removing clutter drops for those who want to remove it, and at the same time its the cheapest and laziest way from designer perspective to reduce clutter.
now when you speak about the boost to defense these rolls will provide, its a joke in most cases and on most item slots, non the less still it will have its benefits on few bases, if it gives an extra 20% amour or ES.

finally if you want my opinion on this one, and on the game progression in general. what I see is the game reached a gr8 place in 3.13 then after that all your doing is shooting yourself in the foot and trying to put bandages on the wounds your inflicting on yourself.
I dnt see any problem if people gets good op perfect gear set over the duration of 3 month league where they will conclude the league happily and have a lot of achievements and fun.
not all people want to get challenged to the point where they hate themselves, some people want to have fun and explode things wipe screens of monsters feel powerful and fast vent their stress in this game etc, not stress over rolling a 6 link or an item till they lose all there currency and rage quit …

Simply because how stubborn you (Chris) and your vision philosophy is, I suggest you give people two options of game play.

1_ who want to get challenged hard can play as so in a hard mode.

2_ people who want to craft deterministically and have fun actually exploring
the game exploding mobs and running fast another mode an exploration mode.


then people wouldn't mind what ever barriers you want to put in the challenging mode while keeping the other mode fun to those who hate a challenge and want to simply explore and have fun.

I see how much work is put into this game , and I hope really really hope this negativity stops and these bad decisions stops and we go back to having fun and enjoying a game we like as we always did before 2021...
