It’s got the potential to be a good feature, only made totally meaningless by not having adequate, responsive control of hacks, botting and rmt.
Totally get this mindset.
I think it’s not everyone’s favourite thing to do though.

I could not care less about leaderboards. Didn’t they already have the Gauntlet location where you could be on a leaderboard? Is that not still around?
Good luck on your goal, hope you make it!

I must have missed this.
Is this seriously a thing?
An Overall reduction of Ancient drop% odds(including Legendary?)or specific statement that Unique items will have a reduced chance to roll Ancient?
If so, I’d like to have a wee sit-down with the derpydoo who birthed this brilliant brainchild idea.
I literally gave up farming Ancients for my Barb after hundreds of runs.
Yes, I’m an entitled noob… I wanted GA on at least ONE desired Affix and got zero.
Reducing it serves what purpose exactly?

I had multiple ga items with needed affixes and finished p150 in 2.5 weeks without buying anything from market. This change servers to extend my time in the game and I am happy with it.
Look at it positively.
They are driving 90% of players out of the game saying “We want only our chosen ones to be there”. Yes, it is true because the game has no balance, item drops are artificially limited, and you can only play on faulty builds.
I wonder how long it will take for D4 to be a ghost town in truth.

Just a question.
I don’t trade or use any “market” as well. Toxic imo and still mostly ssf D2 to this day.
Also…
Your rng experience will vary from mine and others. What trivialized the game for you is the bane for another.
Oh…
I also LOVE to farm gear and perfect a kit - but despise the “Boss Ladder” rinse and repeat system. It’s terrible and utterly contrived and does nothing but feed rmt as well as being a bandaid system on a hollow “we don’t know how to make world drops function since launch”.
Regardless - my rng has been terrible.
- I’m just wondering what the developer statement was exactly - not who or what or why anyone cares about it, though personal experience certainly makes for bias in regards to “working well” or “this will suck”.
Good rng/luck will always drastically affect ones experience.
Moral:
Did they, the Devs, say ALL items re: Ancient will be reduced or Unique items(only)will be reduced?

" * Removed the bonus Ancestral rate from Unique Items. Unique Items now have the same ancestral rate as Legendary Items."
" In our next season, we want to push more towards a middle-ground, where standard Unique items are readily attainable through Initiate and Greater Lair Bosses, but the path Ancestral Unique items lie directly through defeating the Exalted Lair Boss, Belial, Lord of Lies."

by copy/pasting the only SSSSSSSSS+++++++++++++++ tier LS build Icy Veins posted…let’s see you do it with any other non-LS skill…
Most sorc build can clear T4.
My fireball sorc cleared a pit95 and I played around with a metheor sorc in T4 with no issues.

Depends on how you look at it.
Basically, if you have already bought the product (digital) on your account, then you equate yourself to 0. I, like Blizzard, doubt that you will buy it as a gift for someone else. So now they need to think about how to justify the price for those who did not buy it.
It’s simple. We have a monopoly here, if you buy D4, then only from Blizzard.
obv in this context you’re not most ppl so stop talking as if you r nor on their behalf.
You are a little wrong.
Yes, I may not have $30 for this game, but not because I don’t have it, but because there are many interesting games.
I’m sorry for you.

Are you talking about people who play less than an hour or two a day? Or new people?
Even the devs stated in S7 on avg people got to lvl 60 at 9 hours. (Yes I found that number high)…but I play like 2-2.5 hours a day, and on weekends when I can sneak in time beyod that . I started on the 13th of Feb and finished the season journey I think in a week and 2 days.
And that is by no means “no-lifing” the game. So most people on these boards probably finished around there or sooner. There just isn’t that much content. Sure people trying to get perfect gear to push to pit150 or hit 300 will play much longer.
But finishing the season is finishing the season journey.
And the streamer/blasters you were referencing finish the season journey much sooner given their time to play.

Hot damned… Nothing but complaints and crying in this cesspool of forum.
Nothing worth of reading, always spiting adolescent crap and whinning. You ppl are pathetic excuse for gamers.
bruh you’re not the majority you’re the minority. lmao in the forums + up in the early AM. ok blaster.
Being up early means I am a blaster? I have stuff to do, I am not playing now. I am in front of a computer though. I think you are using terms you don’t understand. I told you the hours I play pretty honestly. I may understand builds better than most…but we were talking about time it takes to finish the seasonal content.
I guess if you stand around town a lot it takes a lot longer.
over 8k posts. ok blaster. convince you’re not a blaster without saying you’re not a blaster. minority
Or I just add you to the ignore list like every other troll.
Oh look private profile, what a surprise.

There’s nothing about the current project which prevents them from implementing whatever innovations you might imagine they’d come up with for D5… unless you mean a brand new engine, which I guess could fix some of the technical difficulties. But the engine has nothing to do with difficulty settings, drop rates, boss mats, season themes, storytelling, etc. so… it’s going to be D4 for the foreseeable future, and if they ever decide it’s ‘failed’ & they sunset it, it’s going to be D:Immortal, and that’s that.
