Monoliths aren’t very fun right now. They have way to low mob density. Which was made even more apparent with the release of act 8. Act 8 zones are infested with mobs. Then after beating act 8 you start monoliths, which have like 65% less mobs then act 8 zones.
Now maybe they start to get interesting after 40 or 50 (I wouldn’t know as I get bored of running them by time I reach 20 something)
Being that you need to run monoliths if you want to do arena, I would think you would make them more interesting and fun. Why do they have to be so barren of mobs that want to end your life. I couldn’t imagine getting 60 monoliths deep and dying, then having to start them all over again.
The actual Monolith is a type of placeholder. When you look at the forecast there will be an overhaul in phase 4.
When you read the description of monolith on the website it already describes way more than we have right now. So I expect the monolith too change a lot, but not before phase 4.
I like the Monolith far more then Arena. To be honest I dislike Arena playstyle a lot because it’s the cheapest and most mindnumbing playstyle to have from my point of view. Monoliths are still like you play the game in a “normal” way with scaling attached to it that offer some nice XP and MF gains.
Right now I’m okay with both modes because they are placeholders.
I played like 10h in monolith only and thought it was fun to prepare for arena. Did arena twice thought it was boring and now I dont want to upgrade my character anymore because I don’t know what my goal should be…
Well, currently its only 2 end-game modes, so if both doesnt click with you - you can check out later, because it will much more fun. Monolith will completely different, will implemented PvP and some other mods.
I personally finding arena fun even in current state, its just current monolith doesnt click, so still cant play right now.
My bet for the item from phase 4 coming from 7.9 is monolith updates, its been a lot of criticism from the 2 or so major patches and honestly I reckon that the content that players need to stay involve with the game for a long period of time between patches
Arena and Monolith are boring after some time yes. I still like Monolith more then Arena because Arena gamemodes like the one we have in LE are braindead from my point of view. I would like it more if you have to defend something or to have some mechanics with changing maps. Even Chaosbanes tower of Chaos is better then LE arena system and that’s Chaosbane after all :D.
Totally agree. I like arena but having to do 5 more monolith to get a key is kinda painful.
I know Monolith is just a placeholder but a few tweak to make it more wild and more fun could be very nice.
Or maybe just more arena key but it may be only me.
Well, I’m not sure I’d call it ‘braindead.’ But I do prefer monolith over arena as well. But then I preferred running regular rifts in D3 than greater rifts so no surprise there. That said, given the phases of development have hinted they’ll be 4 or 5 different ‘endgame’ options, it’s safe to assume that eventually there will probably be an endgame style that fits most people’s needs.
