Thank you for an amazing game!
Currently CoF seems like the most intended way of playing the game and I really like it but I don’t want to play it next league because it is so tedious. I would rather play trade which is sad because I would want to play CoF…
The “one click to buy” feature helps a little but it is missing the point in my opinion.
The problem is that I need to farm favor first and then on top of that spend 30m rerolling prophecies each time to hit the one I want and my brain fries looking each time I reroll for the exact prophecy I want among all displayed.
This is just super unfun and actually made me not want to play it anymore.
I wish it was reworked.
For example keep all the prices they have now, or maybe make them more expensive to include the expected current reroll cost to hit and let me buy the prophecies I want like the lenses.
So once we farm the favor buying prophecies is actually fun and pleasant and let me actually play the game more and not sit there for hours rerolling and want to quit.
Thank you!

I agree with you.
I heavily dislike the prophecy mechanic as it is because it encourages stopping to play for 1h to reroll all prophecies.
Then it forces you to jump from mono to mono, even if you don’t want to, because it’s rare that you’ll get all prophecies for the same place.
Then it forces you to stop and evaluate the loot explosions all the time (filter can help, but lots will still need to be looked at).
Then when you’re done you go back to the first step and do it all over again.
It encourages a gameplay style where you’re constantly having to stop playing.
Things that would help (for me):
-Having some sort of auto-reroll system until you hit the prophecies you want would help.
-A sort of “build your own prophecy” system. You decide what drops, where it drops, etc. And the game calculates the cost according to everything you chose.
-An alternative passive system to prophecies (where you choose one or the other) where you can simply boost some drops while nerfing others. For example, boosting minion affixes and nerfing melee ones. This would be sort of like the weaver’s tree but exclusively for loot.
Agreed, it’s very tedious and could use some streamlining
It does suck, but its also so insanely strong.
I did about 400k yesterday of rerolling, 300k on rings, and 100k on swords.
I left with a stash tab full of 3lp common rings. I hit a 4lp sword. I got 4 red rings.
Ive easily farmed well over 2m favor this league so far, while its tedious, I worry about how much it would get nerfed to get qol…
I don’t see why it would need to be nerfed to get QoL.
You still pay the price for it by farming favor.
You are still limited by favor with how many prophecies you get.
The only thing you would get is getting your prophecies instantly instead of losing your mind rerolling them for 1 hour so in the end you still get the same result.
They could even do an auto reroll filter so it would stop on the things we want and you would get everything you want in 10 minutes instead of 1 hour and I think it would be fine without changing anything else.
It doesn’t feel right when you work for it by farming favor and then you still need to go and kill specific things and on top of that you are punished the most for that work by additional rerolling no?
Can you better explain what you are farming for, what cirruption you are pushing, and what lenses you are using?
I almost never reroll at the prophecy vendor, and I’ve taken multiple classes to 300c in Solo Character Found “for fun”. I just put lenses in and mostly get something worth clicking on.
My ask would be for us to get 5-6 lens slots instead if 3, because late game i would like to run both doublers, monolith, an item slot, and a type… and thats 5 slots.
I played erasing strike this league, took it to 1.500 corruption, killed uber.
When I was looking for specific upgrades to get my gear to 2-3 LP or idols I had to either farm lots of uniques or exalted items for slams.
Those prophecies that fit need to be either in my timeline or be a boss / rare / nemesis / mage.
This multiplies that some of the prophecies are very rare vs the others. Like 2h axe, big idols etc.
When I had to reroll like 100k of favor to hit those I would sit for 30m rerolling to hit those checking every time every node. Many times you hit the desired base but not the proper condition or the other way around. Or you hit 1LP prophecy which you don’t want because its not efficient vs favor cost.
And I was doing all of this with optimized lenses which helps to find what you want faster but shows how even with proper lenses the proces is still so tedious.
Maybe if you don’t want to push like 1.000+ corruption or uber and you don’t need 2LP+ gear this problem doesn’t really show, but if you want to optimize higher and push higher then it gets really painful.
This feels devastating on your mind to check every reroll everything for 30m every time you want to get prophecies for what you want.
And I believe the devs want us to play longer so I think this is an important issue.
Okay, i get it… pushing 1500 i could see how the small things get amplified. This context is pretty important.
Im do you think having 5-7 lens slots be the max would help enough? They could be expensive to get, but it would let us focus the offers more.
Maybe we also would need timeline limiting lenses?
