What is the incentive of doing higher pits when loot dropped is worse than doing helltides or just nightmares? Same with tormented bosses. It is so hard to increase the chance of 2-3-4 greater affixes items drop scaling with tier difficulty? Literally did tens of tier 100+ runs and i got only crap loot, barely 1 or max 2 greater afixes and all useless rolls
To keep you playing. Try some D2R offline with /players 8 command and see the difference even in Act 1 Normal. Combat might not be as flashy and fast but the challenge will absolutely be there along with amazing itemization. With sane and balanced damage.
I stay around 80-90 of pit level, this is the best ratio I found to 4 stars my stuff. Better safe than sorry. Higher is too risky to be OS and not finishing the pit.
Of course the thrill of pushing above to 100+ but this is not motivated by the drop.
EDIT : written before the 17/06/2024 nerf.
Why would you ever want to push even max level Pits? Even with Ladder? There will be no rewards for being the “best”. Just the position and nobody will ever care.
Besides Vessel will introduce Raids for D4. So goodbye solo game.
