Let’s not forget also those of us who do collect the hearts, to help the lowbies who just got to Torment leech XP, since they likely are out…
The problem with Baneful hearts is they don’t reset between helltides. You keep the hearts you have each helltide. If blizzard had that reset every helltide and keep the heart drop rate as is, it would be fine.
Calling this a conservative stat is already absurd. There are other things to do in a Helltide. Blood Maiden is best at drops IF you can kill it quickly and not everyone can do that all the time. I can assure you this is not normal for everyone and is not a bar to set a standard on. This would basically imply the event is continuously active the entire hour and I have NEVER been in a Helltide where that is the case.

That is a point.
I agree.
obols as well 20 charsssssssssssssss
Blizzard are delusional if they think we need a nerf not a buff.
Only reason i have hearts on a new character is because i got them from boxes the previous character got from Iron wolves.
These heart have next to 0 drop chance.

This is terrible change. Devs just wants to kill any fun in game. Also they want to fully kill and delte sorc from the game. I wonder why blizz keep so weak ppl?
Idk if we can tell whether or not we have…
Every single time I’m with a solid group and everyone is fighting to pay their way and the Blood Maiden dies a moment after she spawns.
I mean I gotta salvage right? Loaded with Leggs and Uniques, new to the Season, need the Aspects and salv mats…
I tp to Town with everything already marked for mass Junk and quick r-click stash spam and TP back only to find I’m in a new shard and nobody is around.
I’ve never returned to “the good group”, not once sadly, due to the nature of sharding and instances.
There were stupidly too many hears available before. All my characters have them in the hundreds despite being the one to usually do all the seals. If everyone actually contributed (as was the intent) it would be even more silly.
A significant nerf to them is totally fine. Spamming maiden 24/7 solo is design fail. If all you want to do is spam her and never do anything else in the helltide then that’s a you fail. Plus, with the changes to whispers (also unneccessary imo but I’m fine with it) in helltides you’ll have a lot more reason to go out and collect more chests/other sources to feed your hearts.
They punish normal players because no-lifers complain that they have too many baneful hearts.

It’s pretty easy to tell that you literally have no idea what you’re talking about when you say “all my characters have them in the hundreds”.
I’m describing the experience of someone who plays it normally and spends a lot of time there.
You literally CAN’T run them a lot because you’ll run at a decifit currently. EVEN if you go and collect chests at the end. As if I wouldn’t know to do that.
There’s too many leechers, and more often than not, I am the ONLY one contributing.
It’s impossible not to run at a deficit as it is, and it’s getting a major nerf.
I honestly don’t care about the experiences of someone who sits there and leeches and collects gear and cinders, and then says “it’s fine”.
If you play the game normally and not like a POS, you will not have enough baneful hearts.
So all the people who sit there AFK and don’t donate, this nerf also hurts you, because the people who DO donate will all disappear.

Ohh what a clown you are - the problem we are talking about is the amount of legendaries and thus the amount of multi ga viable legendaries per unit of time. If THAT stayed the same, for example, if it was compensated for via chest drops, no one would complain. Btw they have also removed the obols from said chests.
Different people find different content fun. People should be able to play the content they find fun. You know the slogan of the game at launch, “play your own way.” That’s what people are trying to do.
I don’t mind if they encourage other content like NMD’s give xp and glyph xp and pits give me materials, but trying to force content is not fun for people.
They will probably feel like Stygian stones now. Yet at beginning of season devs said they wanted these to drop a lot because they wanted us to be able to do this a lot.
Well now the chest will only drop one 13% of the time then raise as you don’t get one and then drop back to 10%. Not sure if that 10% or 13% is a typo. That’s like Stygian stone odds and I rarely ever get those.
you guys talk like the season isnt over yet, lol
like come on mate
I contribute any time and anywhere, saving hearts is stupid.
Another thing to keep in mind is that people got most of their hearts from levelling up and Iron Wolves rewards.
Iron Wolves rewards I’m guessing won’t be a thing next season. And people get most of their hearts in the level-up process because using them while you’re levelling up isn’t the best because Blood Maiden is likely too strong while you’re levelling in most cases. People are now for the most part done levelling their characters and done with the Iron Wolves rewards. So this issue of lack of Baneful Hearts is now becoming more apparent.
What do we do endgame?
We do pits, and… bosses… but we can’t run bosses nonstop because we run out of mats…
So… Blood Maiden to try and get gear at a decent rate? So if you nerf how much people can summon Blood Maiden, you’re taking away one of the few things people actually do at endgame. Will people flock to the new Blood Council thing? Probably. But again, they’ve just taken away an option, and likely the most “multiplayer” aspect of their open world multiplayer game.

You can play it your way. But the maiden wasn’t designed to appear infinitely all the time. Otherwise, it would just activate her every time. It’s shaping up to be a fun and valuable encounter. Today I don’t even look at how many hearts I have. I just go there and get items and 1000 ashes and I will open the chests.
