It was by design
|
The low loot, easy difficulty of the campaign versus the face slam that is interlude bosses, the revert back to 1.0 mechanics.
I am convinced GGG will patch this week rebalancing and upping loot. It was all by design! Why you ask? Check this tin foil hat out. To get more MT, beta keys sold and to kill gold farming bots. 1. Making the campaign easy enough to get people hooked but not complete it in a single weekend makes people buy access keys. Ie get through the first few acts (which all paid players detest), but impossible for a new player to kill the bosses. 2. Loot drops are scarce again, by design. You can’t open the free weekend up and have every gold farmer using bots to get an edge on the rest of the season. Making the majority of currency drops come from abyss in late game (currency is EVERYWHERE in act 4/interlude) means bots can’t just farm ex. You actually have to play through the game 3. Locking the async trade behind act 4? See #2. If you had it in the early campaign, you would have nothing but bots buying up all of the gear. It forces you to source your own loot, so plan to see GGG tweak essence and rune drops to make the campaign essentially SSF. I am convinced at this point that the QOL changes are in part, if completely tied to the free weekend and we will see major changes to the above at the first major patch.

" Tin foil hat indeed. " Oh no! what a disaster! Tech guy

Damn, talk about toxic. I didn’t even give an opinion on these, why do you just jump to a conclusion that it’s immediately negative feedback? Pretty telling about the state of the game.

" Its very sad to me that bot issues make the game worse for real players. The devs clearly want players crafting acts 1-3 to gain power but they counterintuitively hamstring drops making it stupid to craft. |

If this argument is true, once the game goes free to play the economy/game will be ruined

Tinfoil detected opinion rejected

" That’s not true at all. Just means they need to find a better solution for this 2 years from now when the game actually releases. Something like non-tradable or account bound currency / items. |

I would love to throw on my tinfoil and think about this, But im too busy crashing every 5-20 minutes with zero explanation
Fun things, Sad things... We can't share everything, But what we can, we should share... That is what it means to be a guild. A single persons happiness is everyone's happiness. A single persons anger is everyone's anger. And a single person's tears are everyone's tears.
