From time to time I peruse the end-game ultimate builds and most of them have a mythic or two or three in them. My question is, esp. for seasonal players, does it feel good to get a mythic to you?
I guess if your build runs on it I don’t see how you can be excited about it. It’s such a given you’ll get it eventually that you can confidently theorycraft it in. It’s not a wishlist item. I’m just getting used to this as a norm so that’s why I am asking.
If it’s a part of my build I’ll plan to use the mythics that drop from the bosses as salvage and trade for the necessary runes I don’t have in my stash. Then I’ll craft my desired mythic.
To your original question - crafting my mythic felt more rewarding than obtaining it in a drop because it required more of a calculated effort.
I have 3 mythics on my build. And each of them has at least 2 affixes that I want at GA. Even if rates were like 1 mythic per 10 kills, I would need to kill at least thousand of these to actually be able to say that there is nothing more left for me to take from them.
Because let’s remember that each affix has it’s own probability to be GA. So even if every mythic had 20% for each affix to hit GA, and one mythic item would drop per 10 boss kills, and we also have 12 mythic uniques in the game while you only hunt 3 of them…
Let’s just say that even such generous rates probably would not be enough to push everything to absolute max through entire season.
All I do is farm Undercity for Mats and go kill Duriel and Andy all night just to see Purple drops. I can’t be bothered to be farming Obucite anymore. I’ve done so many Hordes runs I don’t ever want to pick up a Compass ever again.
So I just kill Bosses and wait for Purple. Maybe one day I can get 4 GA Shako drop.
Nah doesn’t feel good or get me excited at all. It’s just mandatory now because mythic items aren’t even rare anymore. They caved in to all the casuals crying because they see their favorite streamers get ubers, same thing they did with lv 100 grind. Watch them nerf paragon grind to the ground aswell, to the point where you’ll get para 300 in a day or 2.
I put over 300 hours in game and never saw a Mythic…so…couldn’t tell you.
Builds this season really need the right GA to shine, so it’s a bit disappointing when it’s the wrong one. But a max aspect drop? That definitely gets me excited! 
Heck yes it does!
It’s shiny and makes noises when it drops and I like shiny things!
Best was when I used one of those tributes that can drop Mythics and two dropped! Sure they were both useless but hey… two sparks makes whatever I want. So I made another shroud for myself.
My rng was big bad for many a season. Only really these past two has it been very good.
After thinking about it for a while I think I just can’t get past agreeing with this. I think you’re right.
Yes, i do like seeing the purple names pop up even if i don’t even need a mythic unique in the current crushing hand build i am running.
The first couple are pretty exciting but all after are just mats to roll/hoping for a multi GA version. Hard to get excited about mat drops for a chance to get something better. The mythic drops are pretty common too as well so a bit of slight excitement but then gone in 30 seconds. My first mythic S6 was T2 Infernal Horde before setting foot in a boss lair. That was exciting.
My stash is overflowing with boss summoning mats this season. It is the first season where I feel I have to make a mule character just to store them.
it did the first time. a lil bit the second time. then i got 2 in a single undercity run and I really didnt care. then another later…
getting a GA item that upgrades my codex feels 100 times better than getting a mythic. I have a single aspect at 21. most of the rest are 16.
