Would be cool to be able to cube essences to get a different one.
For example, 1 blue + 1 yellow + 1 red = 1 green etc.
Also, make rerolling annis or torches with tokens of absolution or standard of heroes possible. Dunno about this one, might be a little too much.
What do you guys think?
They should just make essences drop more consistently as needing a respec can be a giant barrier for making a character playable. If RNG is bad, farming out a token can take so long that it’s faster to reroll the character; which entirely defeats the point of the token existing.
You already get 3 via quests… Farming the tokens isnt that big of burden.
Maybe make them droppable from elites or champs as well in each act or something.
Every class spends at least 2 of those just soloing from normal to hell finish. The bigger point is the time it takes to make a token vs the time it takes to create a new character is out of whack. It’s legitimately faster to get a new character up to 80 than it is to get farm out a token, most of the time. It’s not like it’s some dire need for the game, but it’s wonky and little bit dumb.
Well, I dont fully disagree with you here, because ya, RNG could make that a reality, but even a basic sorc can farm one in a reasonable amount of time. I know, Ive had to farm some in an emergency… lol
Yeah, it’s purely RNG. Having the means to clear dozens of boss runs within the hour should mean it’s faster to farm out a token than to level a fresh character, but it pretty often not the case when I look back on essence drop rates for the hours spent clearing them. They’re supposed to be 1/12 drops or something along those lines, but that’s not reflected in the drops, in my experience.
Nah that would be too much. But how about selling 3 Annis to spawn 1 clone in only your game?
It would give bad rolls a 2nd roll and reduce the Annis dropped on the floor.
Sounds great. It allows new players to find more normal/nightmare games.
Not really, only if you don’t know what you are doing.
Not really. If you solo to hell it takes you a few hours. Even with Grush + lvling we are talking about 2hours + depending on your char level. That’s a lot of time to farm essences. Only baal essence is a little annoying because you have to go through the wave timers. but there is also trade.
Guess it’s another get good problem or a zoom zoom problem. I really miss the times when there were no tokens/repecs.
The quickest way from normal through hell finish eats 2 respecs on any given build.
This is plainly untrue. It can easily take more than a few hours, even doing 10 or so full clears each hour, to get one of each essence for a token. With how quickly a new character can be brought up to 80, you end up in a situation where it would have been faster to level a new character than to farm out the token.
More dogwater takes from you, but it’s unsurprising.
Yeah it’s unsurprising that you still have no clue about the game and just cry about anything.
I get it. You prefer the game in a state that eats as much time as your empty life provides. It gives you an edge, and it lets you validate yourself, through your D2 accomplishments. When people explain to you why these systems are old and flawed, you offer no rebuttal than to call them bad, and tell them they whine, and that they need to get good. Because that’s all you have, you’re good at D2 and they’re not. It’s all you need in this life, telling people that they’re bad at a 20 year old video game and that you’re good at it. You’re so good at it that you don’t need to explain any of your positions or opinions on the game beyond “get good” or “crying” or “you’re clueless”.
It’s a sick life bro, I’m jealous.
You really don’t get it.
Nope. But it’s an easy game and not hard to learn. You say that you can easily get a new char to lvl 80, but complain that a token that might be more useful on a lvl 9x char which takes more time than to farm a few tokens. You are a sad little troll that failed to learn a 20+ year old game and you complain about problems that aren’t a problem.
You also ignore any argument brought up against the nonsense you spread here, that’s why I don’t really care to explain to you why you suck at the game.
I casualy play this game on average less than 1 hour per day and I’m still more successful at it than you. I don’t need to permanently cry about the game design like you do. You cry that you have to play the game to progress in it.
You should really move on to a different game if this game is so hard on you. But I get it, you really really want to be successful once in your life, but you can’t even do it in a 20+ year old game.
I’m really sorry for you.
I remember asking, so I’m glad you told me all of this. I’m wearing sunglasses inside so I can be this cool one day.
Lol, come on… Just because you saw this on MrLLama’s video’s, doesnt make it true. Learn the game a bit more for yourself, and you will see you can get through just fine without even a single one.
They are a convenience, not a game requirement.
I didn’t say “the only”, I said “the quickest”. The whole discussion was about time investment. You ignored what I said to make an irrelevant point.
Nope. You stated it as an overall statement just to get norm through hell. You backpaddled and added “quickest” later when we called you out on your nonsense.
Yeah you did, as Odin said already. You were clear in the context of your statement, and I just compared it to a well known speedrunner who re-specs to get through the game “quicker”
Nice try on the back pedal
Reading is hard, guys.
seems hard to you, I already quoted you twice
Quoted myself as well. You were wrong, again. Honk on, buddy.
You quoted your backpaddle. Pathetic.
You behave like a little kid. Guess it’s time for the ignorelist. You are not capable of having an adult discussion.
