Duriel Mats in the Blizzard store! WOOHOOO :)

PC General Discussion
1

Ok , lets just bring the mats to run bosses in the online store , really don’t have time to farm mats to farm bosses to farm another boss. A bit of a stretch I know , but hey why not.

Or let the mats drop from everywhere , or let all the items be available to drop from every uber boss and bosses in NMD above say Tier 50.
Also chances for the drops from helltide chests , legion chests , random world chests. Stop pigeon holing us , make the game rewarding for ALL activities.

Not asking for anything special , just looking for ideas for more cool drops.

i think the farm loop is fine for the uber uniques. they just need to make them part of the materials page so they cant be duped or traded. they do need to implement other ways to get 925 gear, t90-100 nmds. but if you want to get uber uniques, make that basically all duriel is good for, it should be difficult to get them. if you dont want to do the farming for the mats thats fine, ubers are not for you then.

That would be p2w for sure, so that won’t happen and isn’t a good idea.

You can already buy the mats, just not officially, so P2W is here, like it or not.

I personally don’t think they should be tradable, but I wouldn’t categorize it as p2w either since you can purchase the items with gold earned in game without using your credit card which is generally what p2w refers to. Yes I know people RMT as well, but that’s in any game with player to player trading of goods and it is after all bannable if caught.

6

So buying mats is against the TOS and EULA ??? This is a banable action on the buyers part ?

Exactly then , P2W is already being done with the selling of mats. Sigh , its almost like they are pushing legit players to do this.

7

Are there people using real money to purchase uber boss mats? Of course 100%. That doesn’t mean Blizzard should just open it up free for all and throw them in the cash shop. They’ve already said they have no intentions of introducing p2w, pay for power, however you want to characterize it.

8

For christs sake no

Some things should take time.

You want to put your account at risk buying stuff so you can play the game less go ahead

Uber uniques are not needed and are just sprinkles on top of any build

That is RMT, not P2W.
Both are bad, but two wrongs don’t make a right.

Blizzard should do more to ban the RMT cheaters of course. Or better, make the mats untradeable.

We should extend that further

  • Paying gold for runs and carries as well.
  • Trading rares for runs and carries as well.

So technically it’s not RMT because there is no cash. Technically there is no trade of mats because you are just piggybacking in the run, but under the hood you are paying gold / rares

11

Those are not RMT, just trading. All trading should be removed from the game imo, but the two certainly are not the same.

First thing that really should change however, is all players who want loot at a summoned boss, needs to pay the summon cost. That would solve a lot of issues.

12

and create twice as much way worse issues in the proces - well done

13

make duriel drop rate better this will not happen -2% is very low drop rate

14

for grinding mats hours on a time

15

Which issues would be created?

16

takes 4x longer to farm anything

would make it atleast another 20x harder

so we currently have a system where it takes some people up to 1000+ runs and ur ideas would easily increase it to 80.000 runs

one of which is achievable the other one is not

creating following issues

  • ubers nearly unobtainable
  • less people grinding
  • players quit faster
  • trading normal items will be harder (since there is no gold sink for duriel mats alot of
    players will accumilate so much gold that they cause everything to go up in value
    making it was harder for normal people to buy gear)
  • making the game more unbalanced (players who are lucky have a major advantage in
    pvp and pve)
  • disencouraging group play
  • players would get burned out from duriel faster (causing more people to quit) since u
    wont even get motivated anymore by random ubers u dont need
  • forcing players to do even more time gated activities
17

the uniques should just be able to drop anywhere in the world, having to farm a very easy, somewhat boring mob hundreds of times is just silly. Now i used to think people were dedicating hundreds of hours to farming the materials, until i realized you can buy them for peanuts. When i read someone saying 1600 runs, blah blah blah i was mind blown. But still, having to do that thing 1600 times would be completely mind numbing.

18

I’ll do you one better TC. Blizzard should just sell us a treasure box conatining Duriel drops with the exact same drop rates. Skipping the mats phase and the fight completely.

@ Boltbane
