big L on this one, same as the gold “exploit” from incursions.
should’ve called this season something else and have it properly tested before release.
a ptr could’ve done wonders.

it is fun because its hard AND because there is a potential reward, the two are not mutually exclusive…the entire game revolves around this concept. You’re being obtuse and arguing for no reason.
This post perfectly highlights the tone deaf devs. There really is no reason to have removed this farm whatsoever. The power spike from crusader is fairly small over the available enchants. What harm did it do to the game that players found a unique and difficult farm.
What’s worse is seeing THIS be taken care of rapidly, while actual broken parts of the game taking days/weeks/still not being patched.

There definitely is reason lol. Crusader Orb Mafias for one… and two, they want to make the phases feel different from each other.
Sure 50/60 is close, and we wont get more professions… but they want p3 to feel different from p4.
Limiting black lotus, flasks, the top enchants, etc etc is all part of that.
This is an insanely weak argument honestly.
1.) They don’t care about any “mafia” in the game…tons exist right now and they have done nothing to prevent it and everything to support it
2.) The phases have all had INSANE power spike items that surpass crusader. This isn’t vanilla or classic and we had gear at level 25 that was better than gear you get at level 50. It would have been much better to add to enchants at 60 than to take away enchants at 50…but even without doing that there would have been no noticeable difference once you hit 60 anyways, you would still get crusader for pve and it would still feel powerful but far less expensive.
Clearly theyve done something but removing RO’s… Duh, Dummy.
Thats hardly justification for keeping it in the game lol. Yes ppl from 25 to 40 had a power spike! Wow what a shock. Really? More powerful at 40 than 25? Im amazed!
One orb every X minutes per layer per server. It was dumb. It had no place. Glad its gone. W devs.
couldn’t of said it better loosh. why can’t we flag blue post as trolling?
it was one orb about every 4 hours. IF you had a raid group…which meant you would be splitting that one orb between 5-10 people. If you did it solo(which was a HUGE pain in the butt) you would get one orb every day or so due to having to wait 45min for respawn.
Perfect, even better reason to remove it.
Dumb event that clearly wasnt their intention over an enchant they wanted to lock out of the game in p3.
youll have it in 2 months in p4. Itll be fine.
i would never farm this honestly…seems mind numbing, but removing creative ways players find to create content for themselves is a stupid move, even if you don’t seem to understand that…most people do.
I understand it fully. Its a cool idea… but it was clearly an oversight. They wanted to lock crusader to phase 4, just like flasks and black lotus.
Clearly an oversight they fixed.
Get over it bud
Your glib and passive aggressive posts are just meant to incite conflict. Do better, BE better. =)
But am I wrong or are my facts hurting your feelings
Fiery enchant club checking in
Top guilds (big source of botter’s revenue, aka whales) were selling every 3rd and getting enough gold for consumes for the phase.
Botters couldnt farm orbs effectively.
This and nightmare seeds get hotfixed almost immediately hmmmmmm seems like anytime there an effect gold farm that the bots cant really make use of they nerf it into the ground almost immediately.
Half joking aside, this hotfix basically highlights the direction for SoD. Retail minus.
Farming low drop rate items in groups for strong gear that most people cant/wont get is about as “classic” as MMOs get.
“SoD is seasonal, why should we have stretch items???” Yeah sod is seasonal so who gives a shi what you or anyone else is logging in gnomer or ST. So now we get retail minus, because the person who spends 4 hours a week MUST be on par with the person who plays everyday.
I fully expect to see Thunderfury and Sulfuras turned into straight boss loot in MC.
you aren’t sharing facts…just opinions.
Facts:
- ROs have been removed
- Lotus, flasks, and other high end enchants are not in the game currently
- There was an extremely limited amount of ROs with this “work around method”
- They have been actively keeping phases with new and exciting content, and professions play a major part in that.
- It was an oversight since they locked Strat to keep people engaged in right nows content.
You remind me of my ex girlfriend…she also would often do all sorts of mental gymnastics to try and “win” and felt the need to make everything some kind of power struggle. in the end it only isolated her from people.
Instead of being intentionally difficult perhaps just participate?
Obviously we all know these to be the case:
There was never a debate about any of this, the conversation was about if this was a GOOD change or not…but you knew that…and are still just trying to argue for arguments sake.
eXpErImEnTaL strikes again.
Removing things that you generally shouldn’t be able to do at a given level is very anti-Classic btw. Hope all the “experimental” straight buff “QoL” was worth it guys!
We conversed. Good change.
Examples? There were plenty of level limited things in classic lol. Of course they didnt have to “remove” anything since we’ve never had max levels capped prior to max…
So… first time on a new style of server… has some issues they want to correct. So comparing one occurrence, to a scenario in which this issue could never have existed since they didnt cap levels makes absolutely zero sense.
