I hate Helltides they are horrible

Zero density, you have to use horse between each monster pack. I just gave up on last helltide, I got 60 cinders after 10 minutes of non stop killing, dont know if this is bug but its annoying. Usually I have 300 after 10 minutes.

They are mandatory for souls and Duriel mats. Worst content in any game possible. Zero challenge, zero elite mobs. Just nothing.

Remove helltides from game or add 100x more density.

I am so angry how this garbage content ruining the game.

agreed made duriel attempts as painful as possible, forcing us to do the worst event in the game.

I must be playing a different game to you. I walk from one pack to the next, they’re right next to each other, unless someone else is also using your farming path.

these whining posts are getting absolutely ridiculous.

You complain about getting 60 embers in 10m, but you don’t seem all that hurt when RNG gives you 300 in 10m (which I will call you out on that BS).

You complain that you have to grind in the game just to do more duriel because he hasn’t dropped your uber unique yet.

Seriously. Play the game.

When it starts, look at a map of the zone and walk, don’t ride, from one event to the next, doing the events. This is what I do everytime and I get both living steel chests and sometimes more if the timing is right.

Then you are blind. Compare density with green helltide and come back. Dont be such as blind toxic annoying fanboy.

Helltides are just trash content in current state. And its annyoing to do them at lvl 100.

Some events are just also terrible like the vagons where monsters spawn like 3 per 30 seconds. The worst is the one guy in bubble once per 30 seconds one mob go to him.

Half the events are pure trash and not worth to do.

Give us density and everyone will be happy.

Then say what you mean to say.

You’re upset that old d1 content isn’t as new and fresh as the newest seasonal content despite being revamped 3x. You’re upset that it takes too long for you to farm up the mats you want.

You also fail to see the entire picture. Blood tides are TINY compared to helltides, and there rewards are weighted towards new players and seasonal content.

Just be honest with everyone here. you hate grinding for steel. you just want more density…for what? a killing spree? mindlessly slaughtering? nah. you just want to do more duriels.

Garbage in (development), garbage out (D4).

All they have to do is get rid of cinder loss upon timer ending.
Right now, if you don’t catch helltides close to when it starts, there’s little point to it.

I routinely get all 4 steel cheats and a mystery chest. I live helltides… they always be dense af. The only time they arent is if there are other people around. I have actually summoned grig more times than any of the other bosses. Lol…

I do exactly the same. I can’t relate to this incessant whining about helltides. People just exaggerate and make things up, just to have a cry at something.

I hate to see these “Whiners” Play Diablo 2…

It is a problem that cinders don’t carry over and that helltides are time gated. They have shown with blood harvest they can give a constant up time, with good density, and a carry over of materials. That’s the problem!

I enjoy helltides, they just have dumb mechanics, like 1hr downtime. Why? Helltides could learn a lot from the blood harvest. Harvest seems to be the superior version of helltides mechanically speaking.

Helltides provide access to the most powerful items in the game, the other event has nothing like that. If helltides were permanent or your cinders carried over, people would be on here moaning that the’ve spent several days grinding helltides and they’ve got nothing else to do.
Blizzard can’t win. People will always find something they don’t like and pay the forums a visit.
Helltides are fine as they are.

Couldn’t disagree more. Why should I have to be stuck waiting for a helltide to open when my gaming time is limited? Or not be able to work towards gear in my 1 hour I may have to play because the helltide isn’t up? There is no reason it should be time-gated. I should be able to access and grind for items in the game regardless of when I log on!

I got about 550 in 25 min last night. Felt ok to me.

Stop arguing with a strawman. He wants to play the game and he just wants to have fun while he does it. Getting 60 embers in 10 minutes isn’t fun, nor is it bad RNG. This is a ninja nerf designed to slow down progress.

Helltides aren’t fine as they are, and Blizzard can win if they implement changes that make the game more fun. If they don’t want people to get max gear as fast, reduce the drop rate of 925 gear and uber uniques. The answer to slowing down progress for BIS gear isn’t to nerf helltide cinder drop rates into the ground.
