Adjust Aspect and Ancestral Drop Rates now, not in Two Months

This should have already been done with the Mid Season Update.

Yes, this would have been ideal. But this is Blizzard we’re dealing with. They really aren’t up to speed on the whole running a live service game concept. They may figure it out eventually. :smile:

I got my codex to 40% (in S6)

One of the few lucky ones. Many of us are sitting in the 10% to 20% range.

it was either push pits or salvage every upgrade, ever.

Yea I’ve power farmed every day on just one class and I’m at 11.2%. Took full advantage of the Helltide Event as well. This needs to be changed now, not in two months.

They can easily change this now. There are no valid excuses.

D4 dev team: I had a dream last night, what if Aspects and Ancestrals dropped less frequently?

S7 is fine for the fixes. Just have fun til you can’t and then play something else until next season.

Here’s the thing… you’re not in authority, so your intolerance to excuses has no impact. Your authority extends as far as play or don’t play. They make their choices and you make yours. That’s all you’ve got… along with futile demands in a forum that they barely notice.

People I’ve ignored should stop responding cause I’m not going to read it. This is something that should have been done already and Blizzard needs to see enough feedback supporting it and then make the right decision for a change.

They will make the right decision for their almighty dollar. Clearly their revenue numbers support the decisions they’ve made, or they’d be caving left and right. They’re gonna do what they choose to do on the schedule they choose. You flooding the forums with the same message won’t change that.

Blizzard acknowledged during the latest Campfires that there were several issues in Season 6: Ancestral drop rate too low, Aspects too difficult to max, low main stats on multi–GA Uniques.

It would have been easy to fix all that with the mid-season patch. None of that would have required any additional development, just numbers to change. It makes no sense that they decided to push all the changes to season 7. There is still a lot of time before the end of this season and it would have surely given some motivation to keep playing longer.

I’m not even sure what is the point of ancestral gear? It completely invalidates the 750 gear. I’m now down to just finding a two handed mace stat stick then I’m on to farming mythic uniques…

It’s the next stage of gear progression… just like when blue invalidates white… and yellow invalidates blue… etc etc.

Yes yes… but the way it invalidates is cheap.

Yes. This is Diablo 4. Cheap and lazy are not new here.

I smell the stink of casino greed!

And figure out why some of us have not seen a mythic drop in several seasons despite have killed countless tormented Duriels and Andariels. Oh and give us the sparks we were promised for killing Lilith.

Haha they know why. There’s no fix. It’s working as intended.
