This is the Major Patch?

I can say the game doesn’t lag when opening the map now, so we are moving out of beta finally. Things seem a bit smoother but the xp buffs simply aren’t enough. The Teleport is nice but no loot changes or stat changes? What was the point of this being called a major update? This is just a normal patch. Not 13 pages worth of notes. It’s a lot of fixes so good on them sorting them out but it leaves the gameplay and power gain and alts still in the same mess as before.
I just did a 43 Maulwood on my 87 Barb. I got 1.4 mil xp, 14.8 mil to level and 182k for completing the dungeon. Are you kidding me? This is the xp buff??? I think doing normal dungeons is probably still faster because you can clear quicker and it’s your level. This content is 10 levels above me and I don’t even get a paragon point worth of xp per run. Also they didn’t touch loot drops. Still getting sacred legendaries in a 43 nightmare dungeon.
Seriously, this is it? I know someone reading this may say “wow, you can’t be happy with anything” but it’s been 3 weeks since launch and there are so many dire issues and they barely addressed any of them. Once again, good on them for getting all those fixes out but the loot has been a massive issue and no changes. Leveling slow is a massive issues at 80+ and it still is. Do they have another patch planned for next week with actual gameplay changes or is this it until season 1? Probably will never know since they surprise dropped this on us and the reason why is because of how limited the gameplay changes are.

Edit: I will give credit, it is a massive improvement on xp efficiency for nightmare. The teleport is really nice.

I mean if u got 1.4 mill xp from a single nm dungeon that is a MASSIVE exp buff.

Agree with the rest though.

It is about double what we used to get but… that’s still around 10 runs of of nightmares 10 levels higher per level. It’s better, but not enough.
It is better so I’ll give them credit for an improvement for sure.

The xp buff to nm dungeons is great plus being able to teleport right to the dungeon will also increase xp per hour. Less time running around = more exp.

Consider this

even if you say, got 3m exp in this dungeon. You’d get to 100 much faster. Does that improve your level 100 experience? Not really. You still have stale itemization and no endgame. The only thing this would do is make you reach lilith faster. Not clear lilith, reach it.

There is much work to do in order to make this game feel good that xp buffs don’t change anything lol

i’ve been been level 100 for 12 days now, trust me there is nothing magical about it :laughing:

So it will take you about 10 NM dungeons for a level, and each takes less than 10 minutes to complete, so you will get a level every 1.5 hours spamming NM dungeons.

Honestly, doesn’t seem that bad.

True true, yeah it is a nice buff. Still think it should be a paragon point per run maybe 2 when it’s 10 levels higher but I agree, it’s definitely wayyyyy faster. Probably close to 2.5x faster. So yes that is good and perhaps I am a bit harsh on them there, but the rest still stands.

Dude, it’s been only 3 weeks. Fixing bugs is top priority, as it should be. Balance takes time, and can ruin the game if rushed. Let them do it properly.
