I’m just saying the entire farming experience is boring.
i would suggest. for people who want to skip the farm to trade in varshan/grigoire mats with a npc for mucus egg/agony shards directly without having to do the kill boss/port to town/kill boss/port to town for 100 times.
OR. make the summoning mechanism stay throughout and you can keep using it (like heralds of malphas)
OR better yet. allow like summon 10x varshans at a go. and 10x grigoires at a go. (and while you are at it. 10x duriels at a go)

It definitely isn’t engaging and some including me have been saying this since last season.
At least give us World Tier 5 so it can be more engaging somewhat since the mobs will be more difficult so people don’t fall asleep while farming.
Ideally Uber Uniques are placed in a raid.
This is why there are countless 3rd party sites that sell mats.
I get the appeal. Which would you choose? 10 hours of mindless helltide farming for 5 duriel runs or 10 bucks for 50 duriel runs?
Blizzard failed at making this fun. Earning mats should be fun, but it’s not.
Grinding mats isn’t a big deal while I’m leveling to 100. After I hit 100, however, is when mass boredom takes place. I just feel like it’s all a waste of time.
They need to provide more purpose into killing mobs after reaching 100.

I so agree with this post.
I can handle Whispers and Helltides.
Chore of the whole charade is Varshan and Grigoire teleport/reset slogfest, it’s just not engaging in anyway to be in loading screens constantly
It’s such a terribly designed loop

Yeah, it really isnt all that engaging. I have actually fallen asleep at the PC farming for mats on more than one occasion, lol
Season 2 it wasn’t too bad because it was new. This season? Huge snooze fest.

100% agree. Devs see it as a way to increase play time. Most see it as a way to quit and maybe come back next season since it gets old very quickly.
That is not taking into account that inventory is still an issue and the summoning mats take up like 10 spots…
I sold a perfect roll Overpower/Vul/str/berserk damage 925 ip 2H mace for 1B gold and sold a few nice rings for 300M each too, then bought up all the Duriel Mats I could find with all that gold.
Now I’m 3/5 Uber uniques on my barb waiting for the Shako and Melted Heart to drop. Still had about 40 rounds of mats left for rotation.
All thanks to that trading website I don’t have to RMT nor spend my time on grinding HT/Whispers.

Better yet, just all at once. 10x varshan, 10x grigoire, 10x duriel. But please stack them so HOTA can 1 shot the entire stack. Then leave pop up store for vendor in the room so no need to TP while sorting through loot without loot filter.

Repeating what I’ve said in other threads: Seeing how central duriel is for endgame farming, rather than forcing us through this stagnant loop for material gathering, all end activities should yield currency towards summoning Duriel. The specific mats for summoning him basically pigeon-hole everyone into eventually a couple very specific things and that’s why its boring.
I mean currently as it stands in the official discord people will tell you to just give them 5$ for 100 kills worth of duriel mats.
Thanks to the koreans and chinese we got thousands of mats floating around.
what? that’s trivially cheap compared to (1 minute per varshan loading screens)
Its because they are duped mats. Which got through the mat checks they did on the 2nd which deleted alot of people’s legit material.
I sort of don’t mind farming living steel but I can’t stand farming the other 4 mats.

Agreed, when I quit this season, it won’t be because I’ve done everything I wanted, but because the mat farming (particularly Varshan) is so bad, it just feels like a waste of time.
Even if they just cut the Duriel requirements to 1 egg and 1 shard that would be a huge improvement.

A thousand times this right here
We need crafting and a horadric cube. I’d rather convert mats i never use like zir or beast and craft them into eggs

The real issue here is itemization and the way itens drop. What if after a number of generic uniques we Get an Uber, doing whatever you wanna do, dungeons, open world chests, hell tides,etc. Why make us farm mindless stupid boss that take more time to get there to actualy kill it? Lazy design by devs.
Why not allow trade inside party where item was dropped? Comunity is what keep these kind of games alive and for now, well , comunity is dying, you can thanks devs for that.

Yeah its kind of a pain to farm mats to summon a boss to farm mats to summon another boss…its just not very engaging and usually ends in disappointment. i usually collect enough mats for 2 summons and then call it a day lol.
