Just ran my first helltide since the patch. I started right out of the gate in an event and cleared it. Then off to kill right after that, killing every pack I could find. After 10 minutes into the HT, I only had 30 embers. Most elite packs would only drop a total of 0-1 ember. WTH Blizzard. It’s bad enough that the mystery chests went from 175 to 250 embers, on top of regular chests yielding total crap (maybe one sacred and a few weak potions). Helltides are no longer worth the effort and they were about the only end game content that was actually fun. NM dungeons certainly aren’t.
I have never seen such a sh*tty patch as the one yesterday. None of the things that needed addressing got fixed and instead you made the game much less fun to play. It’s not too late to back the patch out and start over and actually give the player base what it really wants.
Makes you wonder what else they changed that bugged it. Surely upping the cost of mystery chest wouldn’t bug a drop rate of currency. Maybe so. Who knows with these devs.
even the new code they develop is spagetti code.
same with the 0 EXP from tree of whisper.
i mean sure something can go wrong but not this and it shows that they dont test anything.
its just a stupid game. its not that complicated to test the code i just changed.
for me this look like random dev pushes code, someone implements it without any understanding of the code and they compile into the patch folder.
no error = ready for release
but i think they change droprates with config files. but that would be even worse how long it takes to undo the change.
That’s the default when the answer to the question has been on the sign you have been sitting next to for the last 15 minutes.
Yes, I could be nicer with the answer to the question. Would it help change the behavior described above? Nope, I usually get MUCH better results with sarcastic and jackass answers, online or offline alike.
Last night I ended up getting ONE helm 75 chest. After all the work of killing mobs that only gave 1-2 cinders, and feeling way weaker than I did the day before cause of nerfs, I ended getting 2 blue and 1 crap yellow from the chest.
Needless to say I won’t be doing helltides anymore at all until it’s properly fixed cause it’s a waste of time
it literally proves Blizzards biases tho. They do not care when they introduce a bug that breaks the game for all players. they do care when 10 players get an uber rare helmet using mechanics Blizzard intentionally put into the game.
They could just do what they did with shaco’s and revert all helltide changes until they fix it.
