just want to add that it does look like it’s basically totally random uniques dropping since the patch, huge nerf that sucks. no reason for it. I was getting a bit burnt out so I think I’m done for the season.
Still super happy with the season, extremely well done, hope this change gets reverted or something!
This doesn’t happen if you have a life beyond the game like 99.99% of the players do. I played plenty of hours in the game imprinting red rings and got maybe half a dozen of them as COF. I wouldn’t consider it a bug, but now it’s just worthless.
Should have been done 1-2 days after the season start at the very late.
Is funny many people that support the bug fix have been sweating and they abused it to their hearts content.
People who play slower or started late, got F in the ass.
To me personally, I just stopped playing, I was thinking to make a second character after beating aberroth with a mage, but this definitively made my mind and now I am into another games.
No big drama, I’m probably back for next season, and I supported the devs with a supporter pack of those. So everything in order. Hoping to get more incredible seasons like these.
I played over 700h as CoF and I have yet to find a single red ring drop (though I did find a couple ravenous voids in that time).
So having half a dozen in a tenth of the time does seem broken given the intended rarity/power of the item.
What’s funnier is that the only people complaining about the bug fix is either:
A person who exploited a lot, but now they can’t anymore
or
A person who didn’t know it existed, now it’s fixed… they found out too late to be able to exploit like others did.
In either case, the person is utterly wrong, and should feel embarassed to say those things out loud in public.
It clearly shows how egoistic they are, and how they don’t care for the game’s health.
Just being observant. You can figure this out yourself, easily (specially on reddit).
Not saying most people who support the bug fix had intentionally abused it.
Crap, playing like crazy from day zero many hours will lead you to abuse it unintentionally, many of us while feeling a bit off by the power granted, we were thinking was a feature and not a bug.
But is amusing seeing some people defending the bug fixing adamantly when they clearly have benefitted the most of it.
I really don’t get this from all the complaints. Almost everyone I see that is complaining about it is complaining because they can’t abuse it anymore.
Most people that agree with the fix either didn’t even know about it or haven’t played enough yet to be able to even accidentally abuse it (like myself).
Which actually makes sense when you consider the arguments:
-People against the fix: I want my item shower and I’ll stop playing if I don’t get a dozen of them a day.
-People in favour of the fix: rare items shouldn’t drop several a day, it breaks the game balance (even further).
So I’d say that the ones against the fix are the ones that either exploited it or wanted to keep exploiting it (whether knowingly or not).
Sorry, you’re just delusional…
Timing is just an issue for you, who fits in the second category i listed. You clearly wanted to abuse an exploit you didn’t know existed.
The only thing wrong about this whole issue is that EHG did not remove any items. They should have done that.
I’m absolutely sure of this one thing: EVERYONE who is glad the bug is fixed would immediately agree if EHG decided to removed all unintended duped Red Ring coming from that bug.
So whats the point to imprint the legendary i actually need if i would get a bunch of randoms? This would explain why i had 4 stashes with gathering fury last week and now i get 1-2 in 30 echoes. As CoF the imprint was the best way to get the uniques i want.
OH, I am the one who is really sorry. Seems in your mind you nailed it and everything is black or white as you have dictated. Really, really sorry.
Thank god you’re not EHG… Removing all the items…
Yes, I also assume that’s the majority, but some people out there are special. Maybe I should have worded it other way. definitively most people have not bad blood when expressing their concerns.
