3.19.0c Patch Notes and Update on Community Feedback

Stealth nerfed the entire drop pool.

Not going to be enough with these changes
just waiting for 3.19.0z
The changes are a step in the right direction but no where near what they need to be currently.

-Archnemisis rares are so hit or miss. It either takes 5 minutes to kill them or seconds depending on the mob. Because its so RNG to get a good reward combo, its almost not worth the time to even kill them. So either we need more combinations that net in good rewards OR another significant overhaul of what each modifier grants to the monster.

-Lake is more rewarding now, but still feels like a baby version of other league mechanics. For the time investment, I don't get nearly what I can get from heist currently. Its a step in a positive direction but not completely there yet.

-Drops... they are terrible at the moment. Mapping isn't even worth it, which makes lake inherently not worth it. I don't disagree that we players were getting way too many drops per map or hour previously but this change set the game back years. I understand that this maybe doesn't effect SSF as much as standard/trade league, but for trade league part of the appeal is being able to setup your atlas to generate as much loot and increase player power, as possible.

-Harvest... harvest was game changing. It made crafting amazing items possible. It made players have a path and goal to figure out. It made mirroring items appealing. It was build enabling in more than just a few cases. Without those crafts, the meta will continue to be stale (my own opinion). This should be reconsidered 1000%. The changes you made to how you acquire the crafts are excellent, no more need for 3rd party trading. But why the crafts got gutted the way they did makes zero sense. Why would anyone grind harvest at this point. And without harvest, what are the options for crafting the absolute best gear instead of just mediocre gear.

tldr: It isn't too late to revert the changes you made to harvest, and drop rates. Take time to figure out a better solution to power creep, drop rate and crafting. Archnem is fine, just needs to be implemented better for a risk/time vs reward.

This league might be my favourite in recent years. Contrary to some very vocal people (looking at you reddit) I did not enjoy being showered in currency & loot as was becoming the norm in past leagues, and it now feels like the game is in a good spot on that end. I am actually excited about drops again thanks to this tuning, and I hope you guys will not cave in too much to the hysterical outrage of some people out there.

Keep up the good work GGG, some of us are loving this league!


Well I see you like to run around in 5c gear the whole league. "Showered in currency". The only people showered in currency are streamers selling boss carries or 5way carries to their viewers and a few gigatonic crafters with a PhD in crafting and god blessed rng.

Why are a few people pretending that farming was easy in the past leagues lol, the majority of community couldnt even get their hands on a HH and called the ones that have the 1%, imagine now.
Some okayish changes, but you still havent talked about the biggest one:
The massive cut to currency drops in the game.
Is this gonna be something that you will increase over years by 1 or 2 % and then congratulate yourself for it ?
I just dont understand what exactly "Your Vison" for the game is, because apperently none of the Dev Team plays the game without debug mode.
You continue to nerf everything instead of buffing other Builds.
You massively reduce currency drops because what ?
"We want you to feel the weight of every item" ?
You know, you dont have to turn the entire Game into a dessert just so players are happy for a few sips of Water every 50km.
Just make the Water sweeter.
I dont know what it takes to get you off your high horse called "Vision" but i suggest you realize it soon, because just like games like Wildstar, you are in danger of losing a massive amount of Gamers just because you refuse to listen to vaild criticism.
a
you are smoking to much weed, if you would play your own game instead, you whould notice something

if you dont revert harvest and rarity im gone
BUFF ITEM DROPS.
THANK YOU.
I love you.

An out of touch opinion from an out of touch gamer about an out of touch game, trying to point to an out of touch source.

Listen man Reddit is mad, Discord is mad, this Forum is mad, the global chat in game is mad. Turms out you are one of the very few special few people that isnt mad.Glad you get to play the game mostly alone.
Honestly not impressed, I was looking forward to this league. All my friends are quitting, there is no incentive to play with other people. I've been playing since there were only 3 acts and I've never felt like the game was less fun than it is this patch.

The basic heist chests that aren't even locked behind doors drop more loot than the ones in the lake at lvl 10 difficulty where I spend 4-6 min to clear some crazy archnemesis monster to open it.

Divines replacing Exalts in the crafting bench has more economic consequences than just exalts being worth less. Harbingers are less profitable since the exalt shards are worth less, which makes their scarabs and sextant rolls worth less. Div cards and stacked decks are worth less, since the pool of valuable cards is smaller by a large margin. Maps that have exalt div card drops are worth less, because those cards are worse. It trickles down into so many things that the viable methods of gaining currency is substantially decreased.

I want to be able to exalt slam items as much as the next guy but I have no way to target farm the currency that is being used as the de-facto currency for items that I need for my build to take off.

And i cant even retreat to standard because all of my builds were broken by the reservation mastery change and I have no currency to fix them anymore.

I just dont know what to do, the game Isnt fun no matter how I try to play it.:(

Hope you guys figure it out, love the game, just not right now.
