End game tower & tablet changes were one step forward and two steps back [recommendation]

I posted this as a comment in the 0.0.2g announcement thread, but I felt it was worth making it's own post because I (totally biasedly) feel like my idea for fixing the end game is a good idea:


In my professional opinion, this patch regarding end game juicing and loot, was very much "one step forward and two steps back"

The one step forward:
Made towers rewarding by giving up to 3 tablet slots by taking more risk on the tower. Incentivized running high-tier waystones by buffing influenced nodes based on the tier of the waystone that was run.

The two steps back:
Nerfed the ever-living-shit out of tablets so that even though you're getting 3 towers in one, you have have put in 3 perfect 7% quantity tabs to get 21% quantity. Which isn't even the highest roll you could get for item quantity last patch in a single tablet (I think- It's been a minute since I played last patch).

What this actually accomplished:
Made pathing towers even more tedious and less rewarding. Yes its nice that I can get more mechanics on more maps with this new method, but in the end nobody cares about that. We care about juicing drops in the maps first/above all else.

Last patch I could waste a similar amount of time, but could run shit/low tier stones on towers to "get them over with quickly" and then I could at least properly juice an overlapped area for my time. This patch it takes more time for 1/2 or 1/3 the reward. That feels bad.

You want to keep towers and fix this mess?

Here is what you do:

#1 - Fix drops. You haven't admitted it but there is obviously a systemic problem with drops that goes beyond wisps.

#2 - Revert the power of tablets to the 0.1 patch level.

#3 - Change 6 mods on tower stones for 99% influenced to 3 prefix mods = 99% influenced, and add a 5%/10%/15% buff to the tablet modifiers for 1/2/3 suffixes. You could even give us a reason to run 6 suffix corrupted waystones on towers and give us a 25% buff to tablet modifiers if you do that.

This would be for a normal 6 affix map 99% influenced and 15% buffed tablet explicits.

Really getting no love on on this?

I don't enjoy the part of navigating to towers through empty default maps with barely any loot. Maybe if we could directly "fly" to tower maps as soon as they are out of the fog of war would make it better? We would still have to path through the atlas to uncover some areas but we would do it through juiced maps more often.
