NEW Boss and UBER distribution idea. đź’ˇ

PC General Discussion
1

This is to breakup the monotony of Duriel with other bosses that also drop ubers. This would also require some new ubers be introduced to the game and new bosses. I made some new UBERS here.

The idea is to add more bosses to the game and have these bosses have a chance to drop ubers as well. Each boss would have different ways to summon as well making the entire boss and uber experience much more varied.

All boss mats now go to the materials tab to prevent dupes
For bosses using materials only the summoner gets an uber. Other party members still get items. This is to prevent RMT from selling runs and to help solo players. The chance for ubers is raised to make up for this making it a win win for everyone but RMT.

Sure, I think so. More boss variety is nice. I like this way more than farming boring Duriel all day long. Don’t get me started on how tedious the mats farming process is for Duriel…

I also would like to add, the drop rate needs to go up a bit more though.

I like the Diablo helltide idea and corrupted shrines

Thank you kind sir!!!

ARPG isnt boss fight. Reduce summon mats. Allow sparks to drop from NMD dungeons 100 or 100+ exclusively. Nerf OP builds, buff underperforming builds. Open WT5+ , buff monster damage / HP, promote more methodical fighting schemes / mechanics. Enough 1 shotting / mindless fights based on gears. Best gears = entry level requirements of certain tier / areas but dominating these requires actual skill, not established build which a child of 5yo can 1 button clear.

Duriel is fine per se.
What is not fine is Helltide and Whispers. But that is not a duriel problem, its a game problem.

Reason why people dont complain about boss mats in PoE is that what you need to do to get the mats is FUN and the actual endgame (maps/invitations). Helltide and whispers is not endgame, its just some side content, that dont give you anything besides those mats.

Today when farming duriel, i only had shards left.
Someone else in our party only had eggs.
I gave him all my shards and he did the summoning…
I hope you can see the dilemma here…

Thought I would get more support with this. Kinda sad.

Real simple fixes:

  • All content that currently drops Boss crafting materials will drop all Boss crafting materials, just in lower quantities. Current sources will yield the highest amount of materials.
  • Prohibit Trading of Materials unless you are Partied with and in the same area when the Materials drop initially. Leaving the group will remove the ability to trade these items at all.
  • Summonable Bosses are all Uber Bosses. All provide 925 ilvl items and increased Uber Unique Drop.
  • Uber Unique drop chances in Open World and dungeons have been increased. Every day you do not find a Uber Unique item, this chance goes up slightly. Once you find a Uber Unique, the chance resets.
  • Uber Unique items and Unique items can have Aspects Imprinted on them, however they receive a -50% penalty, unlike the Amulet which provides a +50% bonus. Unlike most items, Uber Unique and Unique items can have any Aspect class applied to them and are not restricted by the item slot.

This should be what supposed to be at the start of season 1.

However KNOWING THEM DEVS, they want to apply this PER SEASON (Just a hunch)
WHY? They need something “fresh” every season to have the players ENGAGE or waste time on their game.

Inshort, “lets release all of this mechanics one at a time and per season” xD

Probably by the end of season 20, we may have this kind of mechanic. hahaha…

This will kill party play; everyone will solo Duriel instead. Another way to prevent RMT is to make the boss mat’s account bound. You can’t trade legendary gears anyway.

Spreading the uber drops on different bosses is a good idea but the drop rates needs to be precisely low. Else they wouldn’t be called “uber”.
Most of your boss summoning mats or the spawn rates/location are also good but again, it seems more like chores than it already is to get to them. Farm x-materials to summon or y-scheduled to fight the bosses.

Would rather have a central town hub with different portals directly to the bosses instead and make them harder to fight.

I disagree. Much of my boss mats are things you get just playing the game like souls, veil crystals, ect. And yes droprate is low just like duriel but when you get an uber you know what it will be for most of them.
