Why are the devs always giving us extreme bottle necks for endgame content?
Last season Stygian stones were hard to come buy or you can buy them for 40M a piece…
This season they fixed that. Great! 1 per boss anbd you can get them from the horde. BUT now its extremly hard to get more than a few runs in for the other materials… why cant they find a good solid ground with less of a bottleneck.
My only complaint would be for more Blood. I understand where and how to get it… but it’s still 1 to 15 of the other paired resource and hence bottle-necked.
I think if they added 1 random mat into the Horde chests just like stygians that would be good for the game.
Need to have something to grind on =p
In seriousness, I feel like the issue is specifically with blood and distilled fear. Living Steel is easy to collect pretty quick and I feel like I get enough Corrupted Hearts for it to not be horrible bottleneck. The other two though… ugh
If playing solo or playing your own SSF mode, farm for Girgoire. He is by far the easiest tormented to farm for, 15 materials is basically 2 runs per helltide, and you get bonus materials from other bosses along the way. Just rush the chests, then with the leftover time do some whispers before going back and repeating.
$0.02:
1 random mat from a new boss mat chest for 20 aether; existing materials chest as already generous enough IMO.
Alternatively, a cinder boss mat chest in Helltides for w/e cinder = N random boss mats.
Or both…
Is legion event bugged ? I thought it should serve as the best source for blood, but it only drops 1 blood now. WT4 legion event I am talking. With all 3 chests spawn in the end.
Yes I agree boss mats need to get buffed
Games easy enough as ism it doesn’t have to get easier
How is balancing drops on boss mats better make the game easier ? it only makes the game more enjoyable. If people want to farm tormented boss, and can farm them effectively. Then the game should let them.
You talking as if arpg actually takes skills. Go play esport and MOBA if you want to brag about skills.
Diablo should be hack and slash power fantasy not some elden ring dark soul V2
Exactly. And along the way you can get bloods too (ofc less than steels but still).
My issue is i dont want to play 6 - 8 hours a day. farm mats for 6 hours to then be able to run 10 Tormented bosses just to get nothing.
If You dont want to play 6-8 hours per day, just change the game. Not everybody wants to get everything after 1 hour of playing. Don’t expect that.
Instead of compaining, just optimize Your playstyle and go farm
Right now - it is still too easy in my opinion. A lot of materials, gold, items. You can just buy it on Trade channel if You want
We know why.
Purposefully time gating and trickle feeding summoning mats is a great way to slow us down and maximize our play time.
Farming boss mats is not fun or skillful, it’s just a timesink.
Just add a “boss mats” chest to Infernal hordes pls.
There is no nerf on boss mat drop rates, just do not live in the horde, keep walking in the open word to enjoy the entire game
Ummm… Exquisite Blood says; “hey!”
i can tell u this my friend, i farmed for about 7-8 hours in helltide to test how much bloods i could get out from the maiden, i barely reached a stack lol … whatever they did , its horrendous to farm bloods for Zir lol
Noob spotted. Or fool? Probably the latter.
Ain’t no one farming boss mats except bots. Especially, when most people are RMTing the mats literally for a few dollars. That’s ‘trading’ for you. “Here’s $5 for 900 blood. Thanks!” Oh wow, that took them 5 minutes; they must be really good at this game /sarcasm.
Kids these days… D4 ain’t for real gamers because too many people rely on RMT that the entire market has imbalanced prices. It’s the only reason boss mats are even affordable with gold, my silly little child. Now, that you’ve been edified, please silence the foolishness…thanks.
Playing less Horde mode and more other Content would solve this problem. You would have less Stygian Stones and more from the other Boss Materials.
But of course I understand you, once the character is masterworked, the rest of the content is no longer exciting because it’s not challenging.
In other words, they just forgot to adapt the rest of the content to the power creep through loot and unique reborn or forgot to gave us the opportunity to make it more difficult for us.
It would be cool if, for example, if we could use a stygian stone to craft an NMD seal for a 200 NMD where we have increased unique and mythic unique chance (in contrast to normal NMD), or modify other content so that we have a challenge and at the same time send us on the loot hunt.
Yess just like world bosses, it would be cool if the materials chest can give us a random boss material
I am talking about farming, not RMT
I dont care about RMT, i play with my own playstyle and speed. Why You mention it when i told You to farm? Maybe You have a problem, not me? 
And about trade. I did not spent even 1$ but still able to buy and sell everything for an in-game gold where every item for sell or every gold - i farm
You’re telling me im noob but You’re crying because RMT, bots etc. in open-trade game 
.You’re playing open-trade games first time? Did You woke up yesterday after 20 years of sleeping or what?
It’s up to You if You spend real money or just play Yourself
