You were right about the 5000 in a week, actually it was 5000 in a season:
As for Firebird, sure some people could reach 125-130 GR and some couldn’t. It all depends on your items. If you were extremely unlucky with rolls than you couldn’t reach 130 GR.
If you’d checked the leaderboards you would see that some people can clear a 130 GR with 1500 paragon or even lower than that while some do it with over 3000 or highier in season with a strong the theme…
EN’s might have been easy before with the shield pylon…
I wonder if it will as easy right now, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some players will find a way. Just wonder how much paragon will those players have, cause right now it will be a pain in the a$$ to do EN’s with any build you want and you’ll probably need a specific class and build to be able to reach up to 140-150 GR.
Unless ofc there will be another exploit that most “elite” players will abuse…
As for PTR I never said it’s not possible to gain 1000 paragons in PTR, ofc it is and it’s not that hard.
If you’d actually read carefuly what I wrote you would see that I did 137 with less than 1000 paragon and you even quoted it and haven’t noticed it…
I might have get up to maybe 140-145 too before they messed the EN’s up with all the “changes” to please the few…
Just because some people could reach up to 150 GR before the “changes” doesn’t everyone could or they could, but just got bored with EN’s…
Yeah - thanks for this valuable contribution. Should you, contrary to expectations, be interested in a substantive discussion of the problems, I recommend this thread.
It is a skip season for me. ENs on ptr had been sorta fun after they jazzed em up but now without the stuff they pulled out for live its sorta pointless.
The GR changes are a welcome addition but they still left the worst maps and that is literally all that is new for this season. Not really a point in playing season vs. non season so I will just mellow out for the season on non season.
I think a lot of the anger on this board stems from the fact that players test the changes free of charge for Blizzard, provide feedback and it feels as if whatever feedback is provided the exact opposite of it is implemented.
I think when doing a season that’s about a permanent addition to the game - as many have speculated is the case with Echoing Nightmares - it would be good to include double of something. Goblins are the most fun, bounty bags the most useful, blood shards are better than nothing.
It figures that when I have my absolute best season start ever, it’s for an almost completely pointless season. I’ll be done with D3 until S27 as soon as I finish the journey tomorrow or Monday. Should have just done double gobs or bounties again instead of this.
It wouldn’t be so crappy if devs once again wouldn’t favourise group players over solo and actually made the EN keys drop almost like normal GR keys in T13-T16…
Honestly if the drop rate was 75-100% for above GR 50s there would be no drama right now at all…
My clan. Last year everyone had a craze to play - I think the Ethereals were the season theme at the time? - and then slowly everyone just left. Two people who last logged on are people I persuaded a bit into playing. The third is someone I boosted to 70 for the season.
He has no logic. He’s never made a single helpful/interesting thread or contributed anything helpful, not in this forum nor in the old one. Really makes you wonder what exactly he’s here for.
