A Quick Note About Nets
|
that net-fiasco already makes me reluctant to engage in the league
but ofc the unique-rewards will be so absurd that players will feel forced to join just to not get left behind the power-creep train MMO tactics but hey, money does not grow on trees does it? how to halt the clear speed meta - by creating an incentive to slow down but.. but isnt this game built around trading that means each and every challenge can be simply bought? and how do you make money? by NOT wasting time playing net-net catch-catch unless ofc the 'rare' means ABSURDLY rare and the catching is automated to the extreme anyway, 10 tiers is really pushing it. 3 tiers of sextants are already too much, essences with 6-7 tiers and 20 variants are tedious and now 10 nets? |

" You guys haven't even seen gameplay of it, let alone experienced it yourselves. I bet GGG, and specifically Chris, is kicking themselves for mentioned 10 tiers of nets now, instead of just keeping quiet on it and waiting for release. Probably way more unnecessary drama over something that hasn't even been experienced yet, much less demonstrated. " I do agree that it seems over the top for different tiers of nets. We could just as easily had one net, with its own sets of possible mods, and just us use currency to increase RNG of capture success? Either way, we're all probably making way too much drama over something that will probably work just fine. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

I still don't get what is the gameplay advantage of having
Especially since you're saying that only one or two tiers will actually be relevant for endgame - why not just get rid of all the other tiers? What kind of player do you think would find collecting and micromanaging net tiers an enjoyable part of the experience? Do you really think the league would lose a lot if casting a net was simply a skill that did not consume any resource, and success was determined by your character level compared to the level/strength of the beast? Or do you want to put a lower cap on the price of the beasts equal to the price of the net required to capture them? On the one hand, this gives me hope that legendary beast encounters will be common enough where the rarity of nets will be the limiting factor, not the spawn rate of the beast. (Many players have complained about RNG spawns in past leagues.) On the other hand, this makes me concerned about the drop rate of the highest tier nets. If I encounter a legendary beast every five maps, but can't do anything to it since I hadn't had a net drop in the past three days, I will certainly be disappointed. I know that GGG is in some cases willing to change their mind based on player feedback, and I really appreciate that position. Therefore I would like to add my voice to the crowd: remove the consumable nets, make capturing beasts simply be a skill that can be used without limitations. If necessary, adjust the spawn rate of beasts to compensate. |

" It's there to give the 1% more trading profits. Duh. ;-) On a serious note, it adds a second layer of RNG to the RNG of finding the specific beast you want in the first place. Perhaps GGG thought one layer of RNG was not enough? ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

I still feel like 10 nets is a huge amount.
I understand the wish for the feeling of upgrades, but act 1 and act 2 can end very quickly if you aren't a new player, so this would make people less up to get the low ones that drops on those tiers, because if not used, they will be discarded or banked "forever" anyway. Maybe 6 was a better quantity for it? Like for Part1 2 nets, and part2 would go for 2 more, then by mapping you would have the last 2 mentioned on post. Until half of Part1 you would find the first net very useful, and to the other half you would focus on getting the second one, but the first could still have uses. When part2 starts on act 6, then you could bank your First nests, and focus on Second and Third tiers, and so on. This could give a better leveling experience for everyone to enjoy the league, even for new players, and not make experienced old players hate the first ones because they aren't that useful.

Seems a bit pointless, honestly. If only two tiers of nets are supposed to be relevant at any given time what was wrong with having just two tiers, normal and superior? Unless it's about some kind of technical shenanigans, I'd question it as a design choice because it's complicating things where there's no need for it, but if this is easier to do for whatever reason I won't be making a fuss, it isn't really a huge deal.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
