I’ve never posted here before, i generally have loved the game since launch and am of the firm opinion most people complain way too often.
That being said, Helltides are awful now. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but cinder drop rates seem significantly lower. Combined with the mystery chest increase theres no reason to do them unless you need forgotten souls.
They used to be my favorite activity and now i’ll avoid them which is a huge bummer.
The balance changes also feel pretty brutal to be honest. I really hate to join the naysayers but the latest update hurt the game a lot imo. I hope you will make some adjustments.
Exactly the same post I was going to make. It took me roughly 40 minutes to get 250& open the chest. It was complete garbage too. 1 unique ancestral and 3 rare sacreds. If you’re going to increase the cost them improve the results.
I killed packs of mobs with 0 cinders too.
Here’s a better solution. Every mob you kill drops 1 cinder. Adjust the cost accordingly.
I’m glad you made this post I feel the same way! I understand cinders are bugged but both Helltides I’ve done felt very underwhelming compared to the increase in chest time and difficulty spike.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a challenge but I need my time and effort rewarded. At 85 seeing rare sacred items in a Tortured Gift chest or a 150 chest is a slap in the face!!
Unique drop rates as well as ancestral drops are to rare and to far in between. The map altering Helltides should be more rewarding. I hate feeling like 2 hours spent doing the Helltides were a waste I hope they fix this.
LvL 77 Druid, 44 mins of constant running in circles just to find something to kill. Spawn rate is atrocious. To get the 250 cinders for a mystery chest that dropped 2 sacred’s (both way below my lvl ) and a bunch of trash. So, I guess mind numbing nightmare dungeon replays is the way to go…oh wait, the drops in there didn’t improve either.
