What We're Working On

That's... Probably the most disrespectful post you ever posted.
Clicks as the reason why Harvest doesn't drop anything? Really?
No change to red maps when people have proven that "not juicing enough" is really not the issue at all?
An HISTORIC nerf to drop rate that wasnt documented anywhere and was only pointed out when you fucked up hard?

It isn't even a matter of "the game getting in a direction we don't like anymore". You're straight up disrespecting your player base with this answer

Total kick in the teeth. Feels bad man.

What a miserable excuse for an answer.

I'm out.

I haven't spent any money since 3.15(expedition) and as long as you balance the game around this "vision" you won't get 1 dollar from me.The BEST GAME ever made destroyed because you are too stubborn and refuse to listen to your player base.
Shame.

This is just disappointing.

again 1st month of beta testing the league ... happy i didnt start yet

Seriously what the hell is happening with your company. I just don't understand. Why you in a rush to kill your game ffs let us have fun.
"we removed a massive historic bonus to item quantity and/or rarity"
"We replaced it with a moderate (2-3x)" JUST WHY ????

*BUG*
Wetlands with of course mirror interaction close to entrance = hard lag, freeze, and then crash.

Suggestion : put these deli encounters at least 2 screens away from entrance. Long enough so players can load whatever instance. Just ridiculous, crashed 3 times trying to load area bc deli encounter. Have an option to turn these things down or off, it's not like they look good anyways.

Would rather play a game that looks like poop than not play a game because it kills all resources trying to load an encounter that will not load.

one of d2's appeal was fast loads. OPTIMIZE THE GAME!

I'm loving the drop rate change because it made the items roll significantly better. Items are actually worthwhile identifying.

The only downside is less reason to do the chaos recipe, but that's fine I guess.

Loot 2.0 is not a thing this league. There has been no mention of GGG adding it, and they certainly would have brought it up in this post if they had. The rares you are getting are the exact same as always.

actually love the changes and am loving the direction the game is going :) groups have printed currency and dominated the markets for too long!!! this makes the solo player more relevant within the economy.

It is stupid to be printing 3-5 mirrors a day and we all know they RMT in the background.. get rekt xD

I will for sure be playing longer and having more fun this league :)

Think it is the opposite. Groups juiced their maps have several orders of quantity/rarity higher than solo player and yet they are not getting much. This would mean that solo player drops are near zero.

I don't get this post at all in places.

A bunch of things needed to be nerfed with item drops. You could have announced the changes honestly, like you did with Harvest in 3.14, then made changes the game needed.

Instead by keeping the changes secret, you've probably poisoned the well against these changes. There'll be a damage control reversion then it'll take longer to fix the problems these nerfs to drops were aimed at fixing.

Never again do loot rebalancing at leaguestart - do it 3 weeks earlier, on the live server.
