In Season 4 we have plenty of summoning materials for minor bosses, but to summon duriel or andariel we need to convert them. Farming the 80 level bosses is extremely boring. Probably every build one-shots them. These bosses also drop plenty of non 925ip loot (including their specific uniques drops).
It all feels bad. A “quick” solution would to make tormented versions drop more shards/eggs/chains/dolls. At least 3 (as we put 3x the summoning mats), but we can argue they could drop 5 (as they do drop 5x loot, and after all we put in 2 quite rare stygian stones too)

Agree. More options:
1/ Bring the altar to resummon back up after the boss dies (or some other means to launch a new instance w/o having to recall, reset, run back to the altar, etc); huge time savings per summon here
2/ Give me a third option for a 5x “bet” or pick a custom multiplier from a menu ala Pit level selector (i.e., one boss for 5x cost and 5x rewards including summon mats) w/o summoning the Tormented version (which requires ‘stingy stones’)

Yes, probably the most rubbing issue is the amount of loading screens to do those easy bosses: load instance, run to the boss, one tap it, exit the dungeon, reset dungeons, repeat. This loop is simply not nice. If we could do more in one instance, without loading screens, the experience would be much nicer.
It’s fine to do “trivial” content. We do helltides and whispers, but in those you can be in the flow running around, compared to looking at loading screens when farming minor bosses.

Something similar to the Blood Maiden in Helltide would be nice.
She dies… resummon.
The whole exiting dungeon, reset dungeon, run back, multiple loading screens feels awful.
I probably have close to a thousand Living Steel with absolutely no desire to do that loop hundreds of times.

Maybe we just need a big open arena with a summoning stone in the center that allows us to summon any boss we want as much as we want.

Nobody is suggesting that.
It’s pretty hard to make an argument “FOR” enjoying the current system.
Maybe, like, 99.9999% of people could just resummon from the boss room, and YOU could walk back each time if you enjoy it.

I was trying to be funny. (failed apparently)
I dont like all the loading screens either. Resummoning after we’ve made the run to the boss stone once would be great.

The summoning chamber. That would be cool
They have to do something to change this. This is one topic I have never seen anyone try to defend. Nobody wants to have to do it the way it is now.
it would be helpful if they removed the stygian stone requirement for uber bosses besides andariel/duriel because there is no way im doing 100, 200, 300 runs lmao.
Beast in the ice needs to be taken out of NM dungeon stage as well.
