What Happened with Items

Why not have a PTR (PUBLIC TEST REALM) before leagues so we don’t have to endure a major disappointment every league? It’s obvious that internal testing is VERY lacking or a lot of these changes should have been implemented PRE launch. Seriously if you don’t think that public testing the leagues before they are put out would be a good idea then I don’t know what to tell you. I guess we can keep testing it at launch until people get tired of dealing with, what seem like permanent, screw ups at launch.

Edit: I honestly feel bad for the non SRS builds this league, minions Builds got utterly decimated

Well, we appreciate the apology but nothing is and will be fixed.

The quote of groups farming multiple mirrors a day… that’s just wrong. They’re datamining your game with 3rd party HUDs telling them where a specific monster is. Talk about violating ToS. Secondly, most of the big groups and pushers have quit. The economy is crap and you’ve already lost more than half of your player base in less than a week.

Lastly, I quote you Chris Wilson… “if we kill the item drops, we kill the game… in days.” Your own words in a pst podcast. You said yourself this game is about looting and killing monsters and being rewarded for it. You’ve created an atlas tree dedicated for us to juice maps for the highest of rewards. You’ve rendered it useless and killed endgame mapping.. Congratulations, you’ve killed your game with your own words.

Thank you for not bending the knee to the mass of underage players that want full mirror gear 3 days into the league.

The league lasts 90 days, honestly no one should be able to even get to red maps before 3~4 weeks.

you should return Harvest 2.0 (1.0 even better) for Standard

Today i stopped reading reddit and just played the game, and it was fun, reading so many people saying "game is shit", "theres no drops", "this is unplayable" it really made me think like that too without even logging in, even if i think some stuff could be buffed, im having fun.

While I get what you're trying to do, it still is nowhere close to how it was in 3.18,

the reason there are so many complaints at the moment is because you've gone and nerfed multiple systems that people relied on to progress, and while I get that slowing down progress sometimes is necessary, you've done it in the most un-fun way possible

-Harvest, some of these filler crafts you removed, where not filler at all, and the change for meta mods and the removal of reforge keep pref/suf has stunted item progression for a lot of people.
but most note-ably, Reforge much more likely needs to come back, the ability to alch maps ( especially with how little relevant currency we are still getting )
and now being required Oshabi for rare crafts is an absolute kick in the face ( she is still far to rare, Maybe It is time to make her spawn rate Set if you complete X amounts of harvests? )

-Arch-Nemesis, You've mentioned in the post that you still see MF parties get multiple mirrors/divines a day, this might be true from the anecdotal evidence that has been flying around on reddit, is this really the way you want to push the game? that once in a blue moon rare that drops an obscene amount of currency, just for people to go back to getting 200+ whetstones for who knows how many maps?
If there isn't a way for us to determine what AN mods spawn in a map, People will never be happy with AN being a core way of farming currency. They're incredibly volatile, they still lack multiple balance changes at the rate you're currently going ( and I'm not just talking defensive nerfs, there are AN mobs in yellow maps that make pinnacle bosses blush with the amount of damage they're dishing out without needing a voiceline or telegraph, which Imo is also a massive problem )
Maybe you should allow Scarabs to increase the odds at which certain AN mods spawn ? or give us options to block some of them all together, or instead of slowly nerfing them, just start from the bare minimum and stop buffing them when people start complaining again?

-Meta mods, the removal of the 6 link divine recipe should've been enough to increase the demand on divine orbs in conjunction with the removal of divining from harvest, just swap it back to exalts or contact Divination card creators if they want their cards to be swapped to divine orbs, Slamming an exalt is never going to be a thing if people can't guarantee an outcome without bricking their item, or the odd jewel that could be great if it got a 4th relevant affix


you've made great steps recently with atlas passives, allowing us to pick and block what content we want to play, but if people can't progress their gear in a steady but deterministic way without costing an arm and a leg( except for the very high end ), no one is going to do it, Slamming an exalt is not the dopamine drip we want, It's seeing items slowly come together, without risking all the previous steps you took.

I'm assuming you're just pretending, one can't be this delusional.

Noty GGG!

Go back 3.18 patch for loot!

Chris, spread rewards more evenly among the rare monsters. You've mentioned that in some cases they can fetch 50 divines however what is the odds to find such monster while many other rares having an extreme difficulty and does not provide a valuable drop. Turn off rare mobs casino.

This is so lame, thankyouNEXT. way to ruin your playerbase!
