The game is a boring grind ALREADY , no need to make it EVEN GRINDIER by nerfing CINDERS and slapping a insane price increase on the mystery chest!

Nerfs across every single aspect of the game. The whole dev team needs to shuffled by Microsoft and re-establish the direction of the game.

hey its either make a game good or pay for a quirky gamer girl. they dont have the budget for both
Wanted to thank devs, they fixed effect on ring of starless skies (uber unique), which was sometimes not working as intended.
At least you made the owners of this item happy (about 1-2 players on the planet)

If you find the game boring, I don’t think making it less “grindy” is going to make it less boring…but even if it did…it’s just “less boring” now instead of actually being fun, so…not sure what the point here is… 
and they SHADOW NERFED the MAX ESSENCE ON RINGS by a whopping 50% !!!
Do they have either? I thought they blew it all on 32 horse skins.
The only one being dumb is you !
PATCH NOTES
Helltide
Developer’s Note: We’re looking to increase the danger in Helltide’s risk-reward gameplay by making the monsters a bit more challenging and the Tortured Gift of Mysteries harder to open.
- Helltide monsters are now 3 Levels higher than the player instead of 2.
- The Tortured Gift of Mysteries chest has had its cost increased to 250 Aberrant Cinders from 175.
- All interactable objects in Helltide zones now have a small chance of dropping Aberrant Cinders.
What do you mean?
You don’t enjoy running 10-12 Sigil dungeons back to back per level, so you likely won’t enjoy running 15-17 of them instead?
The cinder drop rate is a bug if I am to understand the only Dev post I have seen on the forums so far, but the amount and what seems to be decreased mob density does make farming all mystery chests in some of the reset Helltides impossible.
You are dumb, the Cinders nerf from monsters is a bug, they will fix it. Jesus christ.
Mistery Chest costing 250 is intended to compensate the increase drop chance of Sacred and Ancestral rates.
You mean the new owner of the account who dropped the item.
Asia server, 100% sure it gone for 100.000 dollar to a new owner.
Yeah but the way they designed Helltides and chests respawning means you cannot push yourself to farm them all each Helltide and that is simply a nerf to fun.
You HAVE A READING DISABILITY DUDE
**I NEVER SPOKE ABOUT CINDERS DROP RATE , I SPOKE ABOUT THE CHEST COSTING 250 NOW , AND NOT 175. **
ALL CAPS SO IT SINKS INTO YOUR MUSHY CORTEX !
hahaha jesus, nerfing helltides and making them even grindier… they’re just determined to top the previous idiotic change with the next. The devs are ridiculously out of touch with their own game, it would be comical if it wasn’t watching them destroy a fan favorite franchise.
Its not a nerf to fun, its a nerf to effectiveness. You will get better quality loot from a Single Mistery Chest. Instead of getting trash loot from multiple Mistery Chests. Thats the intention of the changes. I dont know if it will work.
You do not get better quality loot however since there is only so much room for that to go, prior to patch Mystery chests would rain down 2-5 legendaries.
Post-Past they still rain down legendries, some are still sacred and some are ancestral, some are 760 and some are 800.
The actual value of the chest didn’t improve but there is nowhere for it to improve into. But that isn’t Helltides fault, that’s a foundational problem with gear in D4 to begin with. After ~80 you are done with loot aside from collecting max rolled imprints and absolute min/maxing which since there isn’t anything (besides U lilith) that being perfectly statted for matters, becomes meaningless.
So being able to clear every mystery chest was both a challenge at times to farm quick enough but also a quantity over quality thing.
You could be right maybe the change is better for the game as a whole, but for me personally it really demotivated me to even bother when they spawn, same goes for world bosses and legion events.
