Decided to try my hand at this madness

Spoiler

Dropped on level 6, rotation of 4 scions
Total time about 6.5 hours.
Probably better to just farm currency at this point but I wanted to farm it authentically at least once!

Wow... looks like 37% on level 6. My earliest uber Hillock was in the 70% range on level 6 and I thought that was very good but you got a super lucky instance roll and uber Hillock decided to come out and play on the beach way early. Lucky exile.  :)

Did you find him harder to kill (more HP) this time or about the same as previous leagues?

I have spent the last 5 days farming Oni-Goroshi to finally have him spawn and half way through the battle the game kicks me out to the log in screen and then proceeds to not allow me to log back in as the realm is down for maintenance.How is this possible,surely they should be warning players or something ? hundreds of runs and days of my life wasted for nothing !

Arrgghhh!!!!

Pain!... pain!... that's extremely awful (but don't break your keyboard or mouse over it). I lost one this way last December. I feel for your loss.

To me UberH was the same as before.

23? Shouldn't it be 27? 3x3x3? :P

Not for me. I see the number 23 as the special target number (quantity) of Oni-Goroshi swords to farm acquire (no buying shortcut) before calling it quits permanently. If you notice there are lot's of references to the number 23 in tv shows and movies. Then there are many references to the number 23 in science. Discordia hails 23 as a most important number. Finally, there is the 23 Enigma.

Having farmed this sword pre and post nerf all I can say is: you're insane to do it this league considering how unstable the servers and game are. Random disconnects, PC crashes, game crashes. If that happened right when UH spawned I'd lose my monkey shit.

It's a great item, but not worth it this league. My 2 cents.

Completely agree. I've been contemplating it but the random and sudden downtimes are very discouraging. They're few in number and overall the game is stable, but for something like Oni hunting where a sudden drop in connection can really ruin one's day, no thanks.

Few for some - way too constant for others. And while I love the game I have to disagree with calling this release "stable". I've seen a downward spiral since Bestiary which was pretty much fine, then Delve which was noticeably worse, then this mess which has my PC completely shutting down while I hang in my hideout.

I've only been playing since the very end of Harbinger, so maybe compared to earlier builds this is quite good, but I won't even bother with Uber Lab until I see a couple of days worth of solid performance.

It's incredibly hard to develop for so many different hardware profiles, especially on a custom engine. Not casting any aspersions on the Dev team. But there's been a definite degradation to the point I'd have a real hard time recommending the game to a new player in its current state. Dying is fine and cool. Losing progress because the code is profoundly buggy is not. That said, if you've been running fine for the last few days (server issues notwithstanding) then go for it. She is an awesome weapon and the grind makes her all the sweeter.

27 as The Ruler says: Found this in Betrayal ACT 2, I now have a total of 4 between my 2 accounts since the cards release, and have farmed 3 of the swords.

The other one that I found last league.
Yes, yes it does kill the poetry.
And yes the rarity is just plain silly.

Yeah, I think one my last HC deaths was to your lovely DBs in Riverways.


Ok I mis-counted, I have 2 on my alt account and 5 here so 7 in total since the card was released.

I find the rarity of this sword to be ridiculously silly.

overall I see people using it mostly as a cheap six link or leveling sword.

Sure it's powerful, but it's only a One x sword oh, and I think a two-day grind is more about right for this thing rather than the little two weeks it took me and standard of last league to get the thing, for me right now ever since league start and still haven't seen the thing.

I got five toons at level seven and just running the head looking killing him have them all halfway to level eight. I believe someone in here said he has some characters to level nine. The sword isn't worth all the hassle. They seriously need to put it back the way it was. That or make it powerful enough to be worth the time investment.
