Scheckler27: Did you say they are ruining our Eternal builds cause of the item level changes and do you mean to clean up eternal stash or SE 5 ? Or both? If they ruin our eternal builds, I guess alot of people will quit the game .
Onslaught2k3: Great that blizz, in their infinite wisdom, are gutting the item system to make the game difficult for those who don't have 14 hours a day to farm. Won't be buying until they get their act together.
beanywhere666: Oh my, D4 World Tier Rehash, it's amusing how people are still fooled into thinking it's new but in reality they're just rehashing the same monotonous system.
ericswanson411: That item power and stat squish I get, but they should have made the 925 gear 650-700 and gave them the stat ranges that would go along with that item power, so the gear is useful while looking for new gear. If they don't make that change for launch of the VoH Xpac they are going to lose a lot of the player base.
saynotololi: Wasn’t people already complaining about getting 1 shot ? Why make that worse?
LastRightsTV: Vessel of hatred is looking soo good
pmgpc69: TLDR: Casual players in Eternal Realm are screwed.
lamania32: your videos are greatly appreciated but the harsh reality we have to face is the following :
In addition to what you said, here is my take; and we might disagree on the higher lvl better chances on better loot, you got this from Blizzard play book
In reality : So far this PTR is a meaningless grind, as far as I know we testing leveling, and any other aspects of the game which available currently. According to Blizzard the grind will be more rewarding in this new season, well tell you that if the new season starts like this PTR 80% of the players will quit within a week. T bosses drop very little and crap loot, Tree of Whispers never was any good but 608 item lvl in T4 is laughable, same item level 608 and 610 from world boss kills, list goes on. between T2 and T3 is way to large of a gap and again between T3 and T4 even bigger because of the 750 item lvl single temper and 4/12 to masterwork. over 1 week from T bosses after 100s of runs had 3-4 Unique items total and 2 item lvl 800 useless crap drop. I was able to get to pit T4 70 and not 1 single item lvl 800 drop, I did countless runs. using the cheat guys ( Mrak) opal after more than 200,000 opal /item and in some items 13 billion gold spent in the occultist I was able to put together a half decent gear.(still crap xcept 3 items)
over 1000 spraks total, awarded 1x 4GA helm, 1x 4GA ring and 1x 3GA chest. You can get 2 GA from the cheat guy (Mrak) if you open 10-15 boxes, but this wont be in the live server so the chances 0.25% for a 4GA or less. Necros are op I hear 1 bill/hit dmg. Blizzard lowered the numbers so there is less visual clutter, however it did not do anything same clutter well 1/2 inch less in width. you gear will be item lvl 540 legacy so it become worthless in the Eternal relm along with your build. thank you Blizzard f u. An average guy who has a work, playing maybe 2-3 time a week 1-2 hrs/ occasion it will be not rewarding it will be a punishment to play. Each and every single time they do a major update it is a disaster for the average gaming community.
In addition item lvl 750 1 temper and 4 master work 4/12, item lvl 800 2 tempers and 12/12 Uniques excluded only masterwork as before, anything below 750 cant be tempered and master-worked= crap, only little bit of good news is you have a few more chances to temper.
savingstumps: I think if 750s were able to masterwork to 8, it wouldn't feel as bad not getting a ga. and the mats to masterwork up to 8 isn't bad, 12 cost a boat load, I wouldn't want to masterwork a piece of 750 gear to 12 anyways (like 4500 obdicite?)
kevinmann2154: They made some good changes except changing the difficulty levels and removing the capstone levels and changing the item power because people that like playing on eternal , there character's are useless now and might as well be deleted . The game was in a good place already, could have just added a wt 5 or more and not screw the eternal players.
UrsusObesus: Dude, you can successfully do T IV with on the PTR with your legacy 540 items as they are just as good as anything that drops T IV except for armor. My Druid is still using some fully masterworked 540pcs because nobody can get decent Ancestrals of what they need. Also I highly doubt any player that isn't a streamer or plays 8 hours in the day will make it to T IV because the drop rate currently for Ancestrals is so low. Unless this is why they gave us Infernal Hordes to guarantee ancestral drops. Mythics on the other hand will be few and far between unless Blizzard lets us continue to get multiple sparks by leveling multiple characters and getting sparks through rep. The drop rate for a mythic from a boss is 1.9% so that means on live, when a boss drops 20 items, each item has a 1.9% chance of being a Mythic. On the PTR, at most T IV bosses drop only 4-5 items, all unique. So that means we go from 20 items getting a 1.9% chance to a max of 5 items with a 1.9% chance. Reminds me of the launch of Reaper of Souls when T6 was virtually unatainable for most people. T IV is going to be the same.
