They are there so you can duck into them and actually port out of a hell tide without the exploding guys spawning while you are looking at the map.

A quick point for whisper tree progression. Most take under a minute to clear.

To prolong your game time by a minute or two (somtimes 5 minutes)

Sone of the cellars have some nice unique surprises. But they are too far and few between.

Here’s a few that exist (and have since S0)

  • Goblin Cellar
  • Puzzle Cellar (at least 2 different ones)
  • Golden Chest Cellar
  • Butcher Cellar
  • Boss Cellar (it’s an NMD boss, not Uber Boss)

There is no point of cellars. We can remove it and it’s the same game xD

It takes like 3 seconds to load, half a second to close. Another 3 sec to load out

I don’t think you should use minute as the unit here

Funny you say that because I lost a HC char that way just the other day due to randomly materializing exploding monsters after having killed everything in the area. Definitely one thing I don’t like about nuDiablo. In the old games you were safe if you killed everything in sight and you could position yourself with respect to enemies in accordance with that principle, but not anymore! :joy:

I used it as an average. Some cellar missions are indeed mere seconds. Others have a timer that takes a minute to complete.

You can say the same for chests, jars, rocks, etc. out and about. When did you ever see anything useful drop out of one of those? Maybe a soon-to-be replaced blue or yellow when you are below level 5. Blizzard can’t seem to want to throw anyone a bone to make the effort to want to pop these open worthwhile.

Cellars obviously need an update. But I still like them despite their inferior existence.

I do them for XP while leveling/obols/gems if I happen to find an event in the world or a dungeon.

I don’t go out of my way for cellars, mainly because they are usually off the beaten path. I might do a cellar for a Whisper… maybe if I’m in the area already.

Agree with OP. Fix I made
