breachstones.

SO !

you have to farm tens of hours to get enough splinters to get a breachstone, when you run it, the reward is nowhere near worth the amount of time spent to gather the splinters.

then you learn on your own, because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in game that tells you, that you need to "enrich" the breachstones to enhance the reward that they give you... Great, you couldn't tell me that earlier, now that I have spent my breachstone that I spent tens of hours farming for ?

But it's not over ! You finally get another beachstone, you spend tens of hours to get the proper guy in the proper branch of the syndicate, you finally get a pure breachstone.

you're all exited ! big rewards coming ! You start the map ! you start the breach, you start killing the mobs, WAW, LOOTS ! that's different than the previous one ! you take the loot, you go on, kill the mobs take the loot, and suddenly the breach stops... No more mobs, no more loot, and NO BOSS ! ALL THIS FARMING FOR NOTHING !

Why ?

Because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in game that explains how the encounter works.

Is that too difficult to have a pop up window when you enter the map that explains how the encounter works ?!
Is that too difficult to include a tutorial about breachstones and breach encounter in the help panel ?

There's a big timer thingie on your screen. It should have ticked you off the moment you saw it going down when no monsters are being killed.

I think what you described could apply to many aspects of the game, not only breach. The wiki is essential but also is often lacking necessary info and confusing, sometimes outdated, and occasionally just wrong. Thanks for the warning about breachstones I didn't know it is essential to juice them and won't make that mistake when i eventually do one myself.
