To the developers, please for the love of God can you add this feature so they are visible on the map?
It is absolutely absurd that I have to log online and google a map or check on Discord to find the locations of the chests.
I just did a Helltide and decided when i had over 300 shards to find the chest, i had 17 minutes left and ran around like a headless chicken trying to find the chest. In the end I ran out of time and lost all of my shards.
Can you please respect the players time and add their locations to the map.
Because of your poor design choice, i am now considering just skipping Helltides altogether.
The point of these chests is to farm the steel, i am committing my time to that for a reason as in to do bosses, not to engage in an Easter egg hunt.
Itās a QOL change that is needed, do you expect console players to leave their living rooms and find a PC so they can see the locations?
When ever i check my map and see there is a helltide event that is below half an hour i simply ignore it because i know the chances of farming the shards and then finding the chest are near on impossible without Googleing said chest location, if I knew where the chests location was i would do hellfire events with lower time counters.
Surely you want more people to participate in these events, i am sure the point above speaks for itself in why itās a good reason to change it.
Hey op. I tried to propose a middle ground solution - ASSUMING the Devs wish the chests to remain āhiddenā and players want full reveal.
Nobody looks at it because itās not a complaint posts nor contentious - itās an attempt at QOL and constructive, forward work.
Hereās a picture of something I whipped up asking for: Increased Detection Radius for said chests.
Also the current detection radius - if you were curious - is in this picture - itās VERY small. https://imgur.com/a/Jk9HPT9
The Living Steel chest bug - Iām saying this as much as possible - itās the ELITE causing the problem! I stake my Account vs this. 100% positive thatās causing the āBugā.
Also Helltides reduced downtime proposal.
Anyway skip to points 1. 2. and 3. if you bother to check it out.
I really hate Helltides now. Cinders seem weird and glitched sometimes with their drop rate. At the start of a Helltide (if Iām lucky enough to be on when it starts) I can easily farm enough cinders for the 2 living steel chests within 20-30minutes and have some left. If I am unlucky and join when thereās 20 minutes left, I can barely get 200 cinders sometimes. I do the same routine every Helltide, just seems a bit glitched depending when you join it?
Anyway, I really dislike them now because now at Level 100, I am wanting to prepare myself for the ānewā GR experience coming soon, but I am forced to do Helltides now to farm Duriel mats to get in as many runs as possible. Iām not like a streamer/hardcore gamer but Iām also not a total casual, Iām somewhere in the middle. I can sometimes put in 4-6 hours a day but it can sometimes be all over the place in between real life and I still cannot really farm Duriel much. I think Iāve done 40 runs and it feels like a lot (solo) but I see people getting the ubers 500+ runs in. Itās quite depressing now when I log in to the game tbf, LOL.
same i dont care about the boses, since i have beaten all content already without a single uber unique, so why go through this chore of cinders, opening 3rd party websites (which may be also virus or miners i dont know and dont want to know), just to find a chest in game? no thanks, you can keep the heltides.
I just look on my phone for the living steel chests. Itās not that big of an inconveniance to me.
*However, the living steel chest not showing up where itās suppose to be is terrible, I shouldnāt have to go to town and come back. Chances are it never comes back anyway, except maybe a few minutes later it randomly Popās up like it was Hidden behind an invisible mist.
Itās 2023, Blizzardā¦get it together. I hate complaining, I try to look for solutions and usually turn the other cheek to Most things but this one canāt be ignored.
You need to transport to another area sometimes. That said, Iāve on occasion spent more time trying to locate the chest than I have collecting ambers and thatās with .com. This is both wrong and stupid. Make it stop.
I learned a long time ago that just because a website says a chest is suppose to be there doesnāt mean it will be. Itās completely random and can change at any time. Just get on your horse and ride around until you find it. Odds are it will be at a spot not marked by the so-called experts.
Right? Having to find things on your own use to be part of the fun of RPGs.
The only change to helltides that I would support would be allowing our cinders to carry over like in blood harvest. That would eliminate the FOMO that comes with chest finding.
The chests should just show up on the maps, shouldnāt be bugged. It is fine if it positions are randomized , and there should be a refresh timer to it as well
The chests as they are now, bugged out, and not showing up. Also no timer for it to refresh where a 3rd party websites show it, that is incompetent
Also, why do I pay for a game to be time gated with whatever I do, do not effect other players as many white knight have been saying ?
Otherwise, if what I do will effect others, then why the duping/exploits and no repercussions
Not even sure you need to teleport back to town. Last night I just rode into the connected zone then went back in to the zone I left and found a living steel chest that wasnāt there before.
