No replayability with new cycle. badly implemented

I just found out that i can only wear one single primordial item. That was quite a shock after playing for full since release of cycle 3. I really enjoyed stuff and was looking forward to farm alot of beasts to get nice stuff. Now that i see you can only have 1 item i am absolutely appalled. I mean basically the whole new content is just obsolete once you obtain the one item you want. I now have the shield i like and have no incentive whatsoever of doing any of the new content at all since i cant wear anything else anyways. This makes this cycle last shorter than D4. Last cycle i played 2-3 months really enjoying the hunt for small upgrades etc. But i am quite satiated on farming uber abberoth etc, so i wont bother with that this time. Was hoping the new content would keep me engaged, but everything just died for me now that i figured this crap out.

How about alteast allowing 1 primordial per item type, like 1 jewelry, one weapon or shield and one armor piece. I mean come on, dead game after 5 days is really disappointing.

Unless you happen to get a max rolled primordial then the hunt for incremental upgrades still exists in the same way. Get better rolls, more LP, exalts with higher tiers/more useful affixes, etc. It’s (presumably) not like you did Uberroth till you got the relic then stopped, you farmed him for better rolls, more LP, etc.

But there is certainly less new added stuff to farm this league since last league you were farming for better weaver idols (& you can this league as well, obviously).

You’ll want better versions of it. Better rolls, more FP, probably more than one in case the legendary slam fails, etc.

That is only if you just want to play with 1 character.

Primordial uniques are the strongest uniques in the game. Most of them create new builds which weren’t possible before. So a big part of this is simply getting most of them and have fun inventing builds.

Primordial uniques are the strongest uniques in the game. If you had no restrictions to using them, why would you ever use any of the regular uniques? Every build would just run all primordials.

Noone can help you if you don’t read the information that was provided for weeks. It was clearly stated you can only wear one primordial and one T8 exalt at a time.

If you only play one char with one build then yes it’s obsolate but you can still drop primordial items from the beast and those items can have LP as well. It’s just the same old item grind but with more powercreep included.

Yeah the new mechanic is very lackluster once you have what you want and you need to wait for the LP drops doing a boring “boss” you can facetank 24/7 with the right build.

That’s something you can still do if you like the basic stuff that is there.

That’s why I don’t play much LE at all because to me it’s very boring.

I was rather sure when I read about the new content that there is little to no new content and the old content is… wel… old.

Those items are completely OP and powercreep galore and noone needs those for the content we have right now anyway. Those are just new chase items to make you even more OP then before. Complete BS from my point of view. Beeing able to wear more of them would be completely insane.

I thought it was 1 primordial item PER type of item? Like 1 ammy, 1 ring, 1 weapon?

Genuinely asking cuz I haven’t been able to afford any of the uniques yet.

No, it’s just one primordial (unique or exalted) in total.

Ah, okay.

I must’ve gotten confused with the “one…of any kind” part because I didn’t notice the preceding part about unique/exalted primordial types.

Thank you!
