Nope my rec is to play the season in full. You will get upgrades to your gear, aspect, masterwork everything. i am just happy they made it last longer than D3, a little bit like D2.
I am also extremely happy there is an economy in the game where I can sell/buy items. Whether they do an auction house, whether is from a 3rd part website, whether it is directly from the discord, I enjoy trading to better my toon and experience. I hate there is ultra-limited trading in D3. I love D2 trading.
Seems like you do not like the game at all. I do. I am happy with the progression. Could it be adjusted? Yes a little but not to the extent of making a 3 weeks season when it last 3 months. Go read the Reddit, it will give you another impression of the game. It seems people are appreciating it there. Two different vibes altogether.
Edit: Spiritborn made me end my season way too early. If I had played a barb, I would still be cruising and have fun bettering my toon. I might do 295-300 on a new Barb after the buff…I am thinking Rend or my beloved Double-Swing.
You just encapsulated my entire point. SB broke the season, and they did it intentionally. They may not have foreseen the consequences, but they pushed it out the door knowing the type of damage the class was capable of.
Now, instead of playing multiple alts like I’ve done in previous seasons, I’m stuck with an incomplete barbarian who will never get close to having optimal gear because he simply can’t kill fast enough to offset the RNG when it comes to the GA and aspect drop rates.
Yup agreed. I had many alts last season none this season cus of spiritborn.
Another thing is we used to make alt for sparks. Not anymore with the runes.
Edit: Although broken, spiritborn is fun. Can’t wait to go back to my Barb though. I wish they gave back a little AOE to rupture so I can go back the Flay like S4.
The more I play the more bord i het. 15000 Spirit Borne and 1 or 2 Sorc…Blizzard/Microsoft f%^&d this game up
This has not been my experience lol. Barley find an Ancestral to upgrade, i think i have all 1 g/a at level 245(solo barb).
You shouldn’t have to trade or play what builds Blizz wants{MT} jam down your throat. The game is in an abysmal state. Lots of hours poor return= no fun.
Im only like P208, but i havent found anything over 2GA. And ive gotten maybe three 2GAs, and a stash page full of 1GAs.
little update on the problem i had guys! i want to clarify that im talking about the 2GA higher loot rate in tier 4 that is just “absent” in my case! im not talking about mid season and i don’t want anything eazypizzy! i just said that im not new to this game and the problem i have with loot rate in tier 4 is “big” enough to ask you guys if u have the same problem!
“SOLUTION”
i played tier 3 and in 20 min i dropped 5-7 2-3GA legendary items in any types of runs like pits and uberboss runs or even tributes! don’t forget that in 3 weeks i didnt loot shiit in tier 4! i spend all day changing tier3 to tier 4 and i can see a big difference in loot rate.
tier 4 - boss doesnt drop tribute or runes everytime and in 10 runs 1ga items only
tier 3 - dropped 4 tribute legendary and unique in 20 min + 2-3 ga items (midnightsun 3ga that i was farming for a month in tier 4) and it dropped 1 runs of grig tier 3
less exp but the loot is better! if u guys have the same problems just try to drop tier 3 for couple runs and you gonna see by yerself the difference
I’m Paragon 276, and officially had a 3 GA Legendary Amulet drop in a 110 pit run. (It was Dex%, Life Per Second, Cold Resist %) *It was a kick in my ballz.
I feel the same way. Running pit shouldnt be the best way to get more Ga items. Pit is boring and i have no interest in it. T4 should only drop GA 1 star or higher period. Or add T5 plus to the world. T4 is a super easy and we need a higher one that isnt pit.
Here are some other way for you!
Run Horde 6 waves so you get some GA items fast!
Run whisper caches to upgrade your gear and aspects. They are account-bound but you also get ancestral tributes which guarantees 4-5 GA items per undercity. They also made whisper caches with other rewarding activities so you double-dip rewards.
A few days ago I experienced a real but very short hot streak with multiple 3 and 4GA items dropping. Last couple of days though, I’ve barely seen even 1GAs even in the Undercity or with Bosses.
I’ve always found this game to be really streaky which has lead me to the opinion that it’s not purely rng at work.
