EXALTED ORB Price Shenanigans [Expedition].170:1 Terrible patch = terrible economy. *shrugs*
" 1. Completely incorrect. TFT and discord are not the reason harvest was nerfed. It was nerfed because it was completely broken, with or without trade. (a) SSF Ritual players had better items in one month than the top builds in trade league Heist after 3 months. For evidence, look at manni's items after 1 month, particularly on his Raider and BV Occultist. The assertion that you need guilds to make crazy items when players were doing it in SSF is laughable. Are double elevated tailwind, onslaught boots with 35%, elusive, t1 res and life not godly? How about T1 life, power crit, additional curse, res, explode chest? That is one month of SSF, no guild, no trade. Not to mention 131 life helmet with -9% fire res, phys as fire, t1 INT and T1 res helmet. Introducing the ability to obtain better gear is one thing, but this suggests that it was over the top. (b) The game is not that difficult. Anything short of content such as the feared or 100% delirious maps is doable with maybe 2-3ex of equipment for the vast majority of characters. If harvest was to remain, content would need to be ramped up signficantly and harvest crafted equipment would become compulsory for the new end game encounters. (c) Its power was completely out of whack with any other mechanic in the game. If you remove trade from crafts, or harvest crafted items, then you have no option but to farm harvest non-stop. Every league from here on out would be the same as well, Atoll, Atoll, Atoll. (d) The risk/reward element is non-existent. Kill a pack of mobs and get targeted exalts/divines/20 chaos orbs worth of fossils. Yeah ok. (e) Harvest pushes you to a point where you can compltely trivialise content in a short amount of time. When you first encounter bosses like the Sirus, Uber Elder or the Maven, these can be challenging fights. With Harvest in the game, you go from being able to beat them to insta phasing them in a short time frame. 2 & 3. No real response, but your second paragraph is complaining about an ARPG having content. And no, you don't need to do any of those side mechanics. Your response is odd, because you talk as though Alva and Jun are mandatory mechanics, and THEN players have to complete the Atlas / Conquerors / Sirus? Its the other way around, and you can completely skip other mechanics. Map drops aren't connected to these things as well, you can definitely progress without engaging with every mechanic you see. I'm at T16s now, I only do ultimatums and zero effort mechanics such as breach/blight/legion when they appear in maps. 4. You have tried to dodge the question. Are you going to tell me that Blade Vortex, Carrion Golem and Spectres were not OP for several leagues? You can still push the vast majority of skills to red maps on a modest budget/shit gear. Meta and OP skills get nerfed, deal with it. 5. Its not a perfect or deep analysis, but the figures are not nothing, are relevant, and are the best that we have. I'm not arguing that Ultimatum is their most successful league, but it is aligned with recent leagues. I would argue that having broadly similar retention rates to an expansion league (3.13 echoes of the atlas) is a success. Last edited by BrettLee on Apr 27, 2021, 8:57:02 PM

LOL homies saying level 100s toons broke. Well they should be. its idiots un trade that make it ez at 70 or 80 that got it nerf
literally tons of player complained it's all TFT-all-the-time. Anyway I dont mind nerfs if they stuck to manifesto script. But has NOT been. tier 4s nerfs to the ground. As in not worth playing let alone payin 12c for Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep on Apr 27, 2021, 9:09:33 PM

Without any research I'd guess some youtubers made videos about how profitable Heists still are and now everyone and their mom is back to farming exalts in Heist.

" I know some streamer posted the exalted shard farming plan yesterday but I don't think the impact should be THAT big when 3.14 throws chaos at everyone. |
|
crazy how people don't understand what's going on and just make stuff up. Exalted are worth a lot more cause of demand, they are used for new style of crafting very good items.
