Betrayal Statistics

"

Time spent in type of content
Campaign 37.14% (Includes towns)
Hideout 30.52%
Maps 24.09%
Delve 4.84%
Other 3.41% (Includes Incursions, Abyss areas, PVP and other special areas)


The hideout overhaul was not in vain! Players spend nearly as much time in their (very well decorated) hideouts as they do in the campaign, and more than they spend in maps! Given that going to your hideout is almost a prerequisite for each map you run, this is understandable. It was interesting to learn that, despite the drop in Sulphite frequency, players still spend about a fifth of the time they spend in maps in the Azurite mine.

This isn't the response I would hope for to 30.52% time spent in hideout. i would hope the response would be something more along the lines of:

"We feel 30% of a players time being spent in the hideout is more than intended and we are looking into ways to streamline the non-gameplay overhead PoE currently has."

Then you have to murder the deleve rewards. Even with he high costs of sulphate scarab Delve is better return wise past 300 depth.

If you remove sulphate cost, the amount of reward balance would need to be extreme, and most likely defeat the purpose I think you are trying to achieve.

You want to delve more, free of cost, without negatively impact the reward? It just isnt feasible. Would ruin mapping and the economy of the whole game.

This just kinda shows that you don't actually understanding Delving for the rewards. At all.

Right now, if your goal is to delve to make money, it ALREADY barely has any cost. Because fossil & resonators don't have iLvls or really any serious drop requirements, you can just go sideways at depth 40-52 (Monster Level 60-67) for as little as 22-25 sulphite (for one-segment delves) and get close to the same rewards you do at depth 239+.

Furthermore, because everything dies instantly, you can clear SUPER-fast, and what little you lose in the rare interesting high-iLvl drops, (which are mostly garbage anyhow; getting a metamod pre-baked onto a blue item? LOL) you more than make up for in how rapidly you start stockpiling fossils. My main limit has just been filling up my quad tab too much.

It's amusing that you phrase "Delve past 300 depth," because... The rewards themselves (even the irrelevant gear-based ones) cease getting any better past 239; you hit monster level 83, and... all it does is get harder, and cities become SLIGHTLY more common. (up to 600, where they cap out)
