Staff of Herding is This a Joke?

So they made the gibbering gem stone easier to drop. Now how many frickin times do I have to remake the game to get Leoric’s Shinbone? Man this is frustrating…why do they make crap like this?

To kill time.

Why do we play games?

To kill time otherwise spent in boredom. (or ignoring our chores :rofl:)

Do something else for a little while, cool your heels, try again later.

Don’t get so frustrated OP, it’s part of the game.

Yeah a really lousy part.

How many times did you try to get the shinbone? Usually that’s one of the easiest to get, close to the waypoint. Takes less than 30 sec each time.

Remade the game about 40 times so far

Skill issue / git gud ?

I fail to see how you correlate RNG failing someone having anything to do with skill or being “gud”. Nice inflammatory comment. :roll_eyes:

Create game, run to spot, click on something, pray for RNG to be on your side. If RNGfail, rinse and repeat.
Skills involved = clicking a mouse and hitting some keys on a keyboard.

But did you get the other parts more easy?
This time around I got the gemstone on first try. The shinbone took a good deal of tries, but, as said, it’s location is close. The mushroom room(!) took a good deal of tries to find. The worst part was the liquid rainbow. Huge map lots of tries.

Yes my comment was not meant to be taken seriously.

It seems like there’s always something that gets people hung up every season, even they aren’t very rare for others.

My RNG blockade this season is petrified screams. Even have the staff already crafted ready to go for the future

Well you can upgrade the shards and use them in place of the screams right? I’m drowning in shards and upgrades for them and to the poster above: Yes I have all the other parts including the recipe

Be careful… Text has its limitations on conveying sarcasm… Unless blatantly obvious, the intention of sarcasm/humor can be misinterpreted by those reading it. If someone doesn’t know you and does take it seriously, that’s one way keyboard forum “wars” are started, all because of a simple misunderstanding. Real wars have been started for sillier reasons.

Last altar took me some 6 hours of farming, this season I had the staff in under 20 mins, 3 games for all the parts. RNG can be merciful on occasion.

Thankfully, the people that would be, shall we say, “passionate” enough to want to start a real kinetic war over Diablo, are probably playing D4 and patrolling that game’s comment sections :nerd_face:

I dunno, Diablo seems like a better reason than losing a single pig from a farmer shooting it for eating his potatoes. I am a bit biased towards Diablo though… On the other hand, I like bacon. :rofl:

For me this season, the black mushroom was my nemesis.

The actual recipe was the worst for me.

“Yes the good location! Ok, it’s empty…”

What’s the over/under on how many times Staff of Herding posts will be made each season now? :smiley:
