Bossing is not rewarding at all

PC General Discussion

It’s crazy finally killing a t4 boss and it doesn’t even drop an ancestral. let alone the one item you’ve been trying to replace. I DID do some bosses with someone on a lower difficulty and the quality was higher, but where’s the “power fantasy” in minutes-long boss fights with dinky rewards?

Also I read about the mythic unique drop rate nerfs and those suck. I haven’t had a single one naturally drop. I think i’ve gotten 5 of the tribute that can drop those in addition to kill Duriel and andariel plenty. My only mythic unique is from season rewards and first lilith kill.

Also, Andariel’s suppressor statues are an absolute troll on dolmen druid. it’s very difficult to hit them with your main attack. That’s just ridiculous.

I’m not sure I even have a hope of finishing the season objectives and I can say I’m very bored with no real options for increasing my character’s power and annoyed at the long boss fights. I can fight on normal t4 at this point and clear the pit level 55 no problem (even 60).

Its just RNG. T4 you get more loot drops meaning more chances to get something good or what your looking for.

In terms of mythics they did reduce the drop rate on S7. They went from common to uncommon.

If you are not efficient in T4 stay in T3 until you have the gear. You are likely to feel better rewarded in the difficulty you’re efficient in.

I’m plenty efficient in t3, but just keep getting garbage.

Thats the thing with RNG. You can have both lucky and unlucky streaks. Overall tho D4 is one of the easiest games to find items because outside of 3ga or 3-4 unique/mythic everything is common/uncommon.

D4 is the most casual modern arpg on the market.

Killing a lord of hell is power fantasy. They are the strongest beings in the lore of this universe. You don’t need to give them a couple slaps to kill them for it to be power fantasy.

Diablo the lord of terror, Mephisto the lord of hatred, Baal the lord of destruction…

Wreaking havoc on the mortal realm for eons but some random nephalem named buttshagger69 slaps them a couple times and ends their existence.

You want this for Duriel and Andarial so you’ll definitely want it for the prime evils too. My power fantasy you guys! I need my power fantasy!

Spoiled nonsense is what it is.

The fact that you can actually do all that on a lower difficulty makes that whole rant look like a joke.

When they add a prime, I want to sweat going into that fight. Shift my mouse and keyboard into position, take a deep breath and feel the pressure.

Realistically though it’ll be done with 2 clicks while watching a movie on a second monitor.

I consider T4 unrewarding as well. My glyphs are at 80 and I’m comfortable in T4 able to handle all lair bosses easily.

I just logged in and sampled Greg, Zir, Duriel and Belial. I got 7 uniques per boss all level 750 with 2 exceptions: Duriel gave me one item with 1GA, and Belial gave me a 3GA blue rose ring.

I don’t think T4 bosses should drop level 750 items at all.

The pit level 85 gave all level 750 items. Greater whisper cache of helms gave one helm with 1GA all the rest level 750, plus a blue one.

Killing a boss is not a feat.

Most grps i’ve joined 1 shot belial in T4.

So it’s more about chain killing for hundreds of times to try and get something good

I guess that’s why this game is disappointing. Killing a boss is supposed to an accomplishment, not a chore. It feels like meta is to always fight things you can 1-shot until you can 1-shot things on the next tier up. It’s boring. Though I’m not sure I’d trust these devs to make enjoyable content that requires brain cells. The boss fights are only tolerable when you can juke them.

The goal is to get the gear as fast & Efficiant as possible so you can push higher pit tiers.

Anything outside of the pit is pretty much ”Chore” content to me
