Ya'll ruined Helltides. Thanks for the NOT FUN AT ALL

PC General Discussion

I was really enjoying this game until today (lvl 77 sorc). First time poster, because I just pretty much wanted to throw my entire computer in the garbage after this change.

Helltide cinder drop-- nerfed hugely. It took me almost half the time of the tide to collect 175 cinders-- which means it would be impossible to get 2 chests much less the previous three if you were lucky on zone or chest reset.

Increase to mystery chests: these were the only reason to do this event, besides that it was fun (until today). It’s not FUN to spend 40 minutes and then randomly be killed because this game pops up a window that you’ve killed 20000 goats, or got a paragon point, or whatever.

Im unsure if this is a change, it might be a nerf to my character but it ALSO seems like they dumped more/harder mobs on top of the mystery chest.

So. 50 minutes invested. One low level piece of orange gear at 75 cinders because I was repeatedly killed.

Opposite of fun. Did ya’ll have no one play test this for enjoyability, because this is not that.

Thanks Diablo for putting me back on a game forum to rant, I was very happy NOT to be here until now.

I feel exactly the same way (level 60 sorc) and like you I just posted myself about this issue just out of pure frustration. I think the last time I posted to a game forum was 20+ years ago. Really shows what a great job they did with this patch. Maybe they should have a look at FromSoftware and how they patched Elden Ring. That was done way more subtlety IMHO.
