I thought to myself finally a mega game, now the empowered blessings I finally have, was already grind enough.
Now I sit 3 days on a gear, I finally get it, off to the Sanctum and rolls it me the worst affix what was on it, again 3 days for nothing.
Also generally the Loot is just crap (yes I have a Loot filter).
I do not know if the game makes me so long fun when you step for days in place, Corruption I am now at 150, except that the enemies are stronger I do not notice much of the Loot.
Sad but the game makes you mad and you have no desire to play more.
Thatâs just one char, what if you want to play up all, then you have to invest easily 5000 hours if not even more.
That should be feedback but ne so you have no more motivation.
I must admit, Iâm also frustrated by the loot. Although somebody wrote that there is a slight bias towards the class you are playing, I donât notice that at all. In fact, I wonder if thatâs bugged and they have the wrong sign in the math, because the set and unique drops I get seem to actually avoid my primalist class. The ratio of uniques and set items I get dropped for other classes than mine is just out of proportion and frustrating. Iâd rather get multiple rolls of uniques that are for my class, but not specifically for my build, so I at least can consider their rolls, legendary potential and rebuilding my character towards a different playstyle. But if I get pretty much only drops for a necromancer or fire mage, which I just donât play, every unique and set drop for those is just an instant dismiss and disappointment. Iâm so annoyed by this ratio, Iâm no longer excited for uniques and set items, because at this point, I pretty much know theyâre not useful in any way for my character. Really, if there IS a bias for drops towards the class you are playing as, that must be increased noticeably for uniques and set items.
Back then when Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls brought a loot system overhaul, they learned that being a bit more generous with the loot and its quality was the right call to make.
I get âgoodâ loot but all not for my class, somehow makes no sense currently.
Not even the increase of corruption brings somehow what.
Itâs a never-ending grind that just isnât fun if you canât even get a little further in a few days.
At some point you do not even kills the enemies more and it still drop nothing.
Then you go to the Sanctum and get again only crapâŚ
Yeah, I donât even mean just the random unique and set drops you get by killing stuff, Iâve spent most of my gold in the Lightless Arbor to get a ton of set and unique drops. And I kid you not, about 90% were for other classes than mine.
Same thing with the soul gambler in the Soulfire Bastion, he just doesnât give me anything I could use even theoretically for my character when it comes to uniques specifically.
How many months am I supposed to grind to find something I need with legendary potential?
I mean that literally, because getting a unique I want and need is a pain as it is, but then you gotta find it multiple times to have a good roll and legendary potential. If I barely can find anything for my class, itâs just way too much time investment to then even find something not only for my class, but also for my build and THEN with a good roll and legendary potential.
If itâs all just random picks of the entire damn pool of uniques and set items for ALL classes, thatâs just absolute nonsense.
In my opinion, unique and set drops must have around a 50% ratio to be for your current class.
You have not really talked about how you look for specific things.
But one of the common things across a lot of people that critique the loot is, that they expect âdirect upgradesâ to drop.
But in LE it is very rare, to get an immediate upgrade as a direct drop.
You are always expected to tinker with your âalmost goodâ loot with hte crafting. Rerolling, removing, increasing affixes.
Do you already do that?
Corruption does not really massively impact the loot within the ehcoes themselves, it mainly increases the chance of more rare echo rewards (Like specific Unique/Set items, exalted items, Vessels etc.) spawn more frequently.
There is also a lot more nuances to the Monolith system that solely corruption.
With the right strategy 100 corruption can be more bountiful than 200 corruption.
Do you always try to go far out within the echo web? Or do you more spiral around the starting point?
The further away from the starting point an echo ist, the stronger the modifiers and the higher the chance to get rare echo rewards as well.
You play in empowered Monoliths and get gear upgrades every 3 days? Lucky you! When i was in the minmax stages I was happy when I got a item that might be good after crafting in ~100h ingame grinding. Get used to it because thatâs the quintessential content stretch that is sold to you by EHG.
âalmost goodâ loot this is 4 affixes T6 (a good loot is 4 affixes T 7). Unfortunately, crafting practically does not allow you to interact with such items.
As we already found out in a lot of other threads your definition of âendgameâ or âgood itemsâ is vastly different (a lot higher) than for the average player.
On top of that, if an item has a T6 or T7 affix, that item is still very craftable, you can change all the other affixes on it, reroll the implicit, reroll the explicit values.
Even a 4 desired affix Rare item with T18-20 affix tiers is good already and will carry you through a large portion of the endgame.
And with âalmsot goodâ I meant items that have 2-3 desired stats and 1-2 undesired stats or open prefixes, there are great if you do some crafting on them, this ahs nothing to do with exalted or not.
I was playing this dancing game, where you have to dance to advance in the game. And all the game would let me do is dance! Thereâs no fishing AT ALL! Itâs so frustrating to have to dance in the dancing game, and not be able to fish.
p.s. replace âdancing gameâ with âloot hunt gameâ and âfishâ with âget the exact items I need to upgrade my gearâ âŚ
4 T7 affixes on the same item is practically impossible. You probably have a better chance of winning the PowerBall. Stop telling people that multiple exalted affixes on the same item is what should be chased.
Of course we shouldnât!
LP4 nah, who needs them?
The best rolls? pffffâŚ
legendary items? Yes, any one will do. Doesnât fit the build? Is this really a game about it? Nah.
The game is about the fact that we must learn to enjoy what is given, and not what we need.
