Is the patch working? New Goblins and Minion Damage

So I’ll leave the minion damage level to the necro experts, but feels about the same as before? Almost feels as if no changes even with Mage glpyh which is specifically in the patch notes.

On the goblins…maybe I’m just doing it wrong and need to ‘Git Gud’. I ran around helltdies for a quick test. Found 2 gold shrines to get 8 goblins total. These new goblins actually seem strictly worse than the old goblins? I remember in lunar event after finding a few gold shrines I’d be loaded with boss mats just from the goblin drops itself (not the lunar bags)

Maybe I’m wrong, only found 8 goblins to far…but so far it kind of feels like they just took the original goblin and divided the loot across 4.

That sums up my 15 minute test run earlier. I’ll give it another go later though.

Really disappointed that they kept the nerf to goblin spawns with a greed shrine. It was fun when you could get almost 10 goblins from a cursed greed shrine.

Still haven’t seen a single goblin in 2 helltides, 2 seasonal zones and 4 NMD’s.

How am I supposed to gain reputation when the spawns are so infrequent?

Yeah the loot is really underwhelming with the last march in the back of our mind. Way fewer goblins/rewards and no bags just feels bad all around. Make it rain loot and add a loot filter, clearly they are incapable of limiting drops and making them more meaningful, so instead just keep it raining and let us dictate. Even just something as simple as GA vs non-GA would be nice.

Found a few in helltide, cant get more than 2-3 to spawn from a greed shrine tho. Don’t know what it’s like w/ cursed shrines in nmds. The loot is meh tho. It doesn’t feel like an event is ongoing but rather that it’s just a new implementation of the different goblin types. If there wasn’t a rep (which actually has solid rewards) you wouldn’t really know.

The spark for completing the reputation is the real reward with a chance of also seeing the one in a million chance goblin that drops mythic items.

What concerns me more is that everything in this game is getting tied to a longer and longer reputation grind. They have front loaded player progression but slowing progress to meaningful loot. Not that we need it anyway.

It would totally be a Bliz thing to just make 4 types of gobs and then divide the loot by 4. Oh man Im laughing so hard if this is true. I might hop in for 1 hour just to see this failure.

:rofl:

none foe me today

zero goblins anywhere

I’ve found 4 goblins playing this afternoon… that’s multiple “witch” zones, Helltides, NMD’s and just running around on the overworld… did they nerf the spawn rates or something?

use Subo, their icon shows up on the mini map…also listen for the jingle they do…soon as i hear that, i stop and go find them…found 5 in one area earlier today after patch

Took an hour tops to get Tier X done for event, just run around normal zones on horse. In that hour easily took in over 300mil gold, 50k Obducite, several leg runes and more.

Yes the Boss mats are lacking compared to previous but hey it something. Found all the goblins cept the pink one.

Anyone find the pink goblin yet?

I also just noticed I have accumulated 90,000 obducite. If anyone is still looking for it, now’s the time!

I’d like the obol vendor to work better (give better stuff at least) bc I am accumulating sacks of obols wondering why I still get blue and yellow gear in T4. Doesn’t seem worth it to even cash them in.
