I played last night with the new patch. You know, the one that supposedly buffed all classes (including SB for some reason).
I noticed no difference whatsoever. Nothing was noticeably stronger or faster. Tested this on both necro and sorc.
Also, 3 more hours of NO UPGRADES. I have one GA2, six GA1, and one that’s still only ilvl 750.
This is the same I had the last three sessions. 9 hours and not one upgrade drops? How effing dull do you want this game to be? How long should this loot chase go on?
I’m pretty sure someone will post about “What, you want everything now?”
No, but I expect SOME improvement after several hours. This sh***y drop rate makes progress non-existent and does not encourage me to log in and play.
All I will say is midseason patches are typically lackluster and don’t add much except a few tweaks here or there. You can check the patch notes yourself, but all classes received small buffs to various things. Now it may not have affected you directly depending on the build you’re using.
Certain runes got small buffs, as did mercenaries. Nothing that would make you jump an extra 10 levels in the pit though.
Most of the patch was bug fixes. They mentioned more changes would be coming in S7, but didn’t go over the details. We hope tomorrow (Nov 21) that the campfire will go over the changes planned for S7 and more details about the PTR.
This is what I’m thinking. They have more buffs and adjustments coming up in Season 7 and don’t want to overhaul anything for a season already in play. Definitely need more big fat buffs to cd skills, passives, spenders, key passives maybe?
It’s always “just wait” and “we’re listening”. That, my friend, is primarily the reason that I won’t be suckered into playing this game beyond the current season.
All anyone wanted was the ability for every class to do Pit 100 without being an expert level player and for drops to be bumped just enough so that 99.9999% aren’t auto salvage. But no, apparently the bare minimum for most people to enjoy the game is too much to ask.
This is actually the time to do it so you can get the necessary feedback to make sure s7 is a better experience. Instead what is going to happen is they break the game some other way and we go round and round again where season 8 fixes what happens in season 7.
Which btw, that isnt even SEASONAL content. They add an NPC for lame rewards and that is their seasonal effort. The rest is all base game that should happen as soon as the fix is ready.
Just take a sip of Antivenon, you will no longer feel pain and become immortal. You shall be able to push much further after enter this fearless Frankenstein state.
