Huge CR Gap to New Players versus Veteran Players

Hi, posting here my post in Reddit which is removed by their admins.

I hope Blizzard can understand my concern.

“Huge CR Gap to New Players versus Veteran Players”

Okay to start, I’m also a veteran player since the start of DI, but I quitted for almost 8months (December 26 2022 to August 3, 2023), now I always play DI a lot everyday, doing all dailies and weeklies etc.

My only problem is the Helliquary Raid, every time I’m about to catch up with the current required CR for the last boss of the highest Inferno Difficulty, Blizzard will update the game and implemented new higher Inferno Bosses. I’m tired of looking for people who will carry us during raid, but there is no way to catch up because my Helliquary level and Warband Ancestral Tableau level is too low since I’m absent for 8months before. It seems unfair, even I play for another 2 to 10years straight in the future there is no way I can catch up, forever cycle for me (including the new players).

Also my example is this latest update, I rush my way up to level 1100 now and completed my entire set item and legend item to level1100, but my maximum CR is only at 29500++, while the veteran players will reach their CR in 31000+ in no time. And just like before, I still need them to carry me in Inferno 4 last boss. And when I reach 31100 CR, other Veterans will jump to Inferno 5 and forever Cycle LOL.

Maybe Blizzard can do something about it for other people to catch up. Blizzard is forcing new players to just buy recycled accounts for them to catch up easily. But it is Illegal based on their EULA. So maybe Blizzard must help in catching up. I’m also in need of opinion of others.

Thanks

So while seeing the opinions of others in reddit, I just want to share my side against them:

Hey guys, this is not all about me. Its also about inviting players to return to the game or inviting new players to play the game. Since all of you are selfish people here who just want to be on top always, then its okay. I don’t care anymore and I will not cry about it anymore. Thanks anyways.

I also want to add that there are no more “new” whales now ingame (or lesser), all whales now are recycled accounts who just changed their names (bought from quitting people), its a fact that blizzard is facing, there are no more new players who wants to spend the same amount with the old whales. The one who gets the most profit now are the MidMan or Pilots. The Illegal people.

Correct me if I am wrong, I just want to share my side and help improve the game.

Thanks again.

Correct me if I am wrong

I posted something similar three months ago…

Create a way for players to catch up on Tableau, Helliquary and Gear Ranks

I originally posted this a few weeks back on my clan’s Discord server. I used myself and a clanmate as examples of the disparity between a player that’s been here from day 1 (me) and a player that hasn’t (my clanmate) to demonstrate to our members, and especially our officers, why some of our members quite simply could never catch up to having enough Combat Rating like the long-standing players… My Clanmate Overall Combat Rating 21703 Set Items Amulet = 1257 (base) + 136 (rank) Ring 1 = 1…

Since then, there are now catch-up mechanics in place for the Warband Tableau (if you’re far behind server’s Tableau level, you gain more CR per Tableau upgrade), Helliquary levels and materials for upgrading legendary gear ranks.

The reason you’re behind is these three things, Tableau CR, Helliquary CR and Legendary Rank CR and, even with the catch-up mechanics, it’s still a huge grind to attempt to catch up to current end-game requirements whether you’re a brand new or returning player.

Oh I see, I did not see your post before, thanks for the support.

But still, this is worth a shot posting it again, for me its an issue that needs attention.

Anyway, what is that Legendary Rank CR?

Anyway, what is that Legendary Rank CR?

The upgrades you perform at the Blacksmith to increase the rank of your Legendary and Set items. The limitation on set item rank-ups tends to be the crystals obtained in Challenge Rifts but the limitation on legendary item rank-ups is the huge amount of scraps / dusts needed, and if players are far behind on this, there’s literally months of farming needed. Each Rank 30 legendary is giving 220 CR from the rank, as shown here…

As an example, I just inspected a random player in the Party Finder. They had 6 legendaries at Rank 16 (giving 78 CR) and 2 legendaries at Rank 12 (giving 52 CR) which is a total of (6 * 78) + (2 * 52) = 468 CR. I have 8 legendaries at Rank 30 (giving 220 CR) which is a total of (8 * 220) = 1864. The ranks therefore account for a difference of (1864 - 468) = 1396 CR.

Oh yeah, I’m currently on level21 all, its hard to catch up to level30, but I’m trying.

Thanks a lot for the info sir.
