Title. It’s not like they’re OP. The blood harvest is awesome, just make that how hell tides work the same. Materials are kept on switching zones, no downtime, random monsters that track you down.
My main point is that when I log in, I should be able to do any content that I wish. Right now, the game tells me what content is up. Seems backwards.
Im seeing a lot of threads on this subject. I agree. Make it like blood harvest. Or every hour.
Blood Harvest is done right. I like the variety although wish it impacted every zone and not just 3.
Helltide needs to be re-worked to function like Blood Harvest time wise, would love to see improvement on materials for Uber summons as well.
i think if they do that they should reduce the size of helltides to only 1 zone / rare chest
otherwise the whole map will have some stupid event on it eventually
Good point. They would need to reduce the size.
So… is that bad though? Outside of helltide and blood harvest do you even do anythin in the other areas right now? I run through them on the way to world bosses and legion events but thats about it.
I would agree, helltide needs to be like blood harvest… Also replicate the harvest functionality as it is much more fun then grinding for cinders just to open a chest.
For example you use the helltide cinders to ignite the fire of damnation (like a bonfire) and 4 people with 150 cinders each to ignite the fire and out comes 5 waves of mobs each progressively harder and after the final wave the bosses come out that you kill and they drop the good stuff…
This would make helltide much more fun than just farming and opening chests.
Also the rotation and timers are annoying, make it just rotate every hour like blood harvest and you loose cinders each rotation.
it looks stupid tho specially when i do quests its annoying when there is always some stupid event
since u cant even do some quests if there is a helltide on the zone
Sounds like an open world wasn’t the best idea for a diablo game.
i like the open world they just need to reduce the amount of events on it if u want perma hell tide
A lot of events seems to be planned by someone who stares at graphs all day, but doesn’t understand what makes a game good or fun.
Who the hell came up with helltides being on rotation for one hour, every 1 hour and 15 minutes, why 1 hour and 15 minutes?
Legion events should be every 15 minutes.
Helltides should be every hour, always up, just switching region every hour.
World bosses should spawn every hour.
In my opininon both casuals and hardcore players will benefit from more frequent events/more uptime.
I agree completely. It would be great to login and have all options available for me for which “endgame” activity I want to play. If I want to farm Uber mats, I can do that. If I want to run helltides for souls, then that should be up. Imagine the game developers having a timer on NM dungeons where after you complete one, you have to wait 15 minutes. Lol. It’s a dumb idea, and it’s a dumb implementation for helltides.
This is the only elemant I would be worried about. If those stupid meteors werent hitting at random it wouldnt be so bad.
I think its because they do not intend to remove the Eternal & Seasonal character configuration in the game. It has been a long time standing for this part of the on going series. Now we as the player suffer its limitations and there of lack of content on both sides! Remove this long standing mechanic of the game and capture all of the intended audience. Thats my view as the consumer long time with standing the growth of Gamers’
at the VERY LEAST they need to tell us if it’s going to change in the season or not so I can either keep doing it or stop wasting my time.
No just like 5000x the rewards from helltides so you can go about your business and not need to run circles around a map for an hour picking up fragments.
Less helltides but each run is worth more towards your only real goal for being there (more crafting materials and boss keys) sounds much better than more helltides.
Time gated events on a game that we paid full price for is ridiculous.
Helltides and world bosses, is this an mmo or an arpg? I thought Diablo was an arpg franchise.
Sadly I must explain, we are not playing a game developed with passion and love. This is a specific platform designed to open consumers wallets. The timers are not designed to balance experience or loot drops, it is to ensure when the timer hits 0, people are grouped together because they’ve waited for hours potentially. During this wait, players will see other players with purchases cosmetics, and be bored enough to open the cosmetic shop which converts to open wallets and money to blizzard.
It is a sad state of affairs but incredibly obvious at this stage of release/development.
This is a bad agument tbh. Helltide does have a schedule and im glad. I dont want to do helltide 24/7 the break allows people to do nm dungons and other activities.
Or just use some combo of willpower and free will and do what you want when you want to do it, but I guess if you’re one of those people who need to be told what to do and when to do it…
