Durial farm loop is super boring

So in order to do Duriel runs, one has to:

  1. Farm whispers for chaches. Legion events or worldbosses help too, however more often then not at legion events, no body parts drop. Not sure why this is.
  2. you need to kill varshan loads to collect eggs, this boss is just a 1 hit kill. Super easy, yes. But the loading screens are boring.
  3. helltide farming, but often times when i log in after work or whatnot there is not even a helltide live. So basically casual players are hurting for this. Unclear why helltide is not an ongoing event similar to the season blood event (green area on the map).
  4. then you need to kill grigoire for shards, another piss easy boss.
  5. Finally you can form a group and do rotations with mats to get the most out of these runs.

All in all these farm loop is super boring and tedidous, but we do it to have a chance at some uber uniques. Of which multiple can drop even if you already have a certain one. This last bit is super frustrating tbh.

You only get body parts from legion events if players there, including yourself, have that legion event as whisper from the Tree, then there is a chance debtors will spawn.

i havent had that experience yet. Always been in great grps with great ppl.

I mean I feel like I’m farming the same amount of places I did my 20+ years in D2 now. Hopefully they add more though.

Yeah. I was apposed to target farming but they upped the drop rates so significantly there is an end to farming with sup par luck.

Its a double edged sword tho. They made uber D drop them at an uncommon rate people feel its the most rewarding experience but they dont want to do it.

I play seasons only so once the season is over I delete my toons. Uber uniques are just temporary for me.

Well just pop your uncommon uniques in a shared stash. I honestly cant see myself playing on the eternal with the exception of hardcore toons.

I agree. Literally my fun ended when it was the time to farm mats for Duriel. I like farm, but the formula is really boring. First of all, when you want farm steels and HT is not up, but also farming whispers is not fun. D3 also had bounties but they were more interesting.

If you’re not having fun running around killing various demons, then you should stop doing it…

The Duriel loop itself seems fine.
But uber uniques, and uniques in general, should have similar chances to drop from all endgame content (taking into account the time to get to it of course, so Duriel should have somewhat higher chances due to the summon cost, and so on).
And all endgame content should be viable, offering similar difficulty and reward, to do in endgame.

The issue here always comes from players being funneled into the same one thing over and over.

Think if it like buying a lottory ticket. You can use a lot of resources getting tickets, and slightly increasing your odds by maybe .00000001%. Or, get the lucky ticket and win. Either way, the odds are against you. One way, you can play and have fun / do whatever you like, with minimal chores. The other is un-fun and grindy.

Word gets out on any player that is stealing runsl. Dont do it!

They should just use D2 rates and remove summon mats. The Grandfather is 0.03 from baal, shako is 0.09. Give other bosses half the rate but i think they need to add a lot more items in general.

Bring back FFA loot that increases drops by the # of players in the party.

Nobody wants to do 5000 RUNS and get nothing. 0.03% is so bad.

sounds super boring and this game is not so fun so you can justify deleting everything you get by mundane grind doing same things for hours lol, there is no challenge and nothing is hard or medium, everything is super easy in this game.

F duriel, bring the loot to the WORLD. droprate on duriel and materials or no, don’t matter to me at all if I can just farm anywhere I like. and no, i don’t want to do t12412 dungeons either, i want to roam the map.

Uber Uniques should be random drops not targeted . This form of end game is trash . The world drop rate should of just been increased. This form of toxic RMT is going to ruin leaderboards

i see your point, but really, the d4 “community” asked for target farnable stuff. yet we still have players complaining about droprates.

personally id also prefer uber uniques thatd drop in the open world or nmd. they should of course still be rare, but not as rare as they as they were on release ^^

im no expert on drop rates or statistics for that matter, but id say like 0.2% drop chance for example.
