Feedback Release 158

FEEDBACK PW R158

Ok after completing Grimmag and moving to Grotto I found Grotto like 5 times easier to complete. So it bugs me that they will put a harder zone first. It is almost like they want people to not play the game.

Suggestion.
Change Grotto Lox and Arcana as Q1 or scale Grimmag way down.

 

Couple of things about the new parallel worlds. 1) Into the Deepest Cave: the archna area has way too many spider respawns it's over the top. Sure they are easy enough to kill but becomes so annoying that after the quest this is last map anyone would want to farm to get items. 2) Khaylis is ridiculously OP, the damage she and minions have is considerably unbalanced. A dk with 80% block rate (11k) and 8.5k HP should not die in secs.

 

I know why they are easier than Q1 ... i won't say though

If you are soloing Khalys you should have lot more HP than that ... also resistance should be more than decent.
If you are playing in group ... than the other players are sharing the damage ... so it is a walk in the park killing Khalys even with green essences.

 

I miss back step doors in the maps to reenter them specially in m2

 

DSO is doing something quiet interesting. Its clear why grimmag is harder than other maps : DROPS! Like they say it will be on r159, the more harder the more DROPS. Grimmag drops tons of extraordinaries and legendaries. And i think we should use it in our favor cause soon it will change and will be harder to get the ammount of items we can get now.

About Khalys , she is not so op, she is scaled to its postion on pw bosses Hierarchy. Ofc a solo guy , or 2 players will die if they are not good. In my opinion the best is a 3+ team where u have one DK and 2 other classes that can kill the adds quick. If a player cant kill the adds ....... lots of chances to ruin the whole team! So a bit of strategy and 3 medium / high dmg / defense players can make Khalys their best friend

 

I don't know if you were playing all the PW maps ... but Grimmag is not rewarding as you claim.
Few extraordinary and sometimes legendary items are not "state of the art" of farming.
The most complete and rewarding map ... so far is Q4.

 

I am very surprised to see a number of players unhappy with 158.
In my humble opinion, the release is far beyond my expectations:
Drop rate of extraordinary items is fantastic
Drop rate for legendary items is just right
Gems, it's gems galore now.
Crafting system for unique items is awesome, same as variable stats on them too. This ability of crafting unique items is a great concept. A while ago it was suggested by Bigpappa and it is good to see Bigpoint have embraced it. My only concern in this regard is that by the time players are able to reach tier 3 of the Untouchables set, there will be another expansion and the set will become outdated
The maps are dynamic and do feel different.
The non-resetting bosses is ok and I actually like this concept that in order to get to that boss you have to fight your way through. That eliminated the all boring non-stop boss farming. If you are not happy to hunt for the uniques this way, then the new legendary items offer great stats (except for the weapon adornment, ongoing problem with low level items upgraded are still superior). I personally melted my full Keen's and Dragonache sets of level 49 and replaced them with new legendary items.
The setup of the new PW hub map is very very good and thanks God we don't have those atriums anymore.

A couple of things though:

I am not a fan of grotto and cave maps, but it's ok, it's just my personal disliking, in my opinion they are way too long of a way to get to the bosses.

Balor needs some good tweaking now as for the drops it offers and the time, effort and resources required to farm him kills the slightest interest in doing it. Balor might be left the way it is, but he needs some very attractive unique drops in order to make it worth our while.

Jesters. Not sure if it is intended but, I have spent around 250k anders in 2 days trying to get those new unique gems... all I got was 6 clovers and 1x20% armour gem. That's it. I think this is a bit overboard. I mean, seriously, how many players would be prepared to spend that amount of andermants and not get one damn thing )))) And those new gems would only become of some value if one can get 5x6% less cooldown. Way too expensive for what it gives you..

 

-it stays on screen too long.1 second is all it needs to be on.
-can't target mobs if they are behind it.
-it's Way too Big, a little square icon is all you need. show it in the bottom right corner or any corner out of the way of our field of view.
-you can't disable it. it's on OFF, it comes back on.

 

You know you can disable that right.

For the record it took me several days to complete Q1 and Q2 was 1 night. Q3 seems slightly harder but only because you get attacked before you even zone it. I don't know how weaker F2P are going to do it. Sometimes I have 1/2 my hp when I start. And I am getting a blocked damage of 56 And have 28 hp per sec regen. Not sure I know what is happening. Going to see if I have a bad file and that is why it takes me longer to zone in. Solo it loads fast but I am here to help people.

 

I've turned it off numerous times only to have it start up again. It is REALLY irritating.

 

Try it in a new charcter u quickly learn not to pick up items until they are all dead; very annoying!

 

I am not happy with new pw. Less andermants, lower gem drop, no legendary or uniqe drop. I am reading all these posts and wondering how every1 have such good drop...

About pw, i did it all bms except khalys (on witch i spent 1k red and 15 pots soloing for just 1 kill), maps are long and boring and too easy...on q5 m1 those corrupted protector don't drop extraordinary items same thing with minions on q5 m2. Andermant drop of 20-21 it is just funny. I think i got 2-3 legendary trough hole journey from q1 to end of q5 and excatly 0 uniqes, so maybe they don't like how i manage their acc so they lower (remove) my drop rate. Well you can have it back in last 2 weeks i didn't play over 1-2hpd, and after finishing pw just daily and off becaus it is soooo boring...

 

Keep in mind that we are currently playing the easiest version of pws, harder difficulties are yet to come with R159
I'm sure farming pws in extreme mode will be more difficult and accordingly grant better drops

 

Agree.
Having seen game updates lately, am worried about the "better drops" part though LoL

 

Conversely, I don't know how you are having such bad drops. I am averaging 1 legendary every 3-5 runs and have already gotten one of the new LVL 50 Keen's items. Agree that the andermant drop size going down bites, but that is not as bad as it could be. I simply hope that the harder difficulties will make this better. Same with gem drops.

 

In the last week alone, I got all 3 Yach's pieces in a 2 day period, Khally's Chaos ring, the Dragon Bow, and more leg's than i can estimate accurately. I have 18 pink bows in inventory because I've crafted so many bows and had to routinely move gems to better gear, i've run out of gold to continue crafting them . I kept wanting to take a photo when we were farming the mass spawn in Grimm, but I wanted 3 leg's instead of the 2 i kept getting repeatedly. I know, greedy right. Any complaint I could make would be false.

 

Maybe something is wrong with my acc...
Every1 of my friends got some sweet legendary, keen/yachak/roshan lvl 50, uniqe drops from bosses... today we went on q4 and friend got rol and yachak and almost every run leg...i got 11 pink and 1 legendary. If i don't play mortis i wouldn't see legendary.
Just don't know what is happening on my acc. Last thing i got is mortis mask 10 months ago, didn't swap even a legendary item.
O and one more thing...every day i am trying to play 6v6 and i am waiting over 50 minutes. I restart, same thing... so i made test with my guild mates. We all go alone and they all get in i didn't. Ok. Again 1 go i go...she got in i didn't...when she got in my other guild friend register for 6v6 he got in i didn't...today after 1h (every 5-6 min register restart) i played one.

 

and since they are not in R158 ... and this is a feedback thread for R158 ... not R159
The andermant drop is low like I said before ... sure you can get plenty of GoPs and that's it ... nothing more.
All the items are going for smelting ... because they are useless.

No we can't

Sure BigPapa ... I got 2 Yachacks as well ... I have got myself new gem holders (the old were level 40).
The other thing is ... we ... the F2P players don't buy andermants we farm them ... and the andermant drop sucks bad. x21 and x22 per drop? In all PW maps regardless of the map's difficulty?

 

I'm getting a lot of extraordinary and legendary drops, but a lot of stuff is getting melted. One interesting piece that I melted yesterday was a 1H axe with +171 damage (4 +damage lines).

 

same here,stats are bad.got 1 book leg and it had hp in it,and books are rare.
should of been all crit and damage,wish they would stop putting hp and stuff in books and orbs.wishful thinkin.
