Stealth Nerfs to Ascendant Tributes?

Last week I was able to get Mythic uniques regularly when doing those unique tributes, which was great when I was finding one and was really exciting.

Since the latest patch, I did 3 of those and not a single mythic. The two united tributes only dropped a mythic for 1 other party member (not me), and the resolute I just did had nothing for me.

It’s a shame. Those tributes were already rare enough, but now they’re worthless really.

I did a unique one about an hour ago. Got a mythic. Its just RNG, your not guanteed a mythic with the unique tribute

some people just want to be gifted mythics and cant handle rng. im so glad they moved the spark to the season journey so it isnt repeatable

Ok, didn’t know that, I guess I was lucky the first times.

  1. I farmed to get those tributes, this hardly qualifies as “just gifted”
  2. I did not know it was RNG, I got one each time before so I thought it was guaranteed

Why? Because you like discouraging people from playing more and leveling alts in order to get Mythics that aren’t tradable anyway? Sounds very pity and like you have a problem with yourself buddy.

I have run 4 of these and gotten exactly 0 Mythics so good job on your nerfs, Blizz.

Ive been doing lots of boss rotas and I got 50 of some of these. I wish we had a way to upscale these. There is no way Im running 50 to 100 of these.

Probably. I wouldn’t know. I’m 150 hours in and have never even seen the tribute drop so I couldn’t tell you.

Just wondering, how did it harm you when people repeated the season journey to get an extra spark?

The only thing I can think of is that it made you feel less special?
I honestly don’t get it…

I think they drop from world bosses and from whisper tree cashes.

They do. Ive done a ton of both. Never seen one. I have seen only 2 legendary ones as well.

I think they also nerfed the drop rate of tributes of radiance(resolute) from whisper caches. I spammed whispers and was getting a TOR from about every 4-6 caches. I did 33 the other day and got 1.

Same i didnt gett jack s*this season. Then did a day of bossruns alone even with the increased gear opal on and got 3 mythics that day. and 2 in the days after just lvling up shizzle.
But i think in general bossruns are the way.
Must say it was about time though cause my gear progression was at a halt the way usable ancestrals GA with a star or even 2 are hard as f to find

What I don’t get is it actively contributed to people’s playtime in seasonal, which is what they want, no?

So why the hell would Blizzard remove farmable sparks? lol. So silly.

I didn’t even know they were working. Ran one about a week and a half ago and it didn’t even drop a single unique.

Probably a resident troll - profile hidden so can’t verify, but strong suspicion. I wonder if Blizz has these people on the forum for PR, and they’re following the Apple genius method of treating customers (1. deny things, esp. problems/defects, 2. place onus on user, 3. place onus on user gear or ISP,…)

The sooner you put Lavawisp on ignore the happier you’ll be.
