we have 2 months of this season ahead of us and slowly we don’t know what to play.

everything is too far and yet near.
i need two mythics for salvage so i can get a certain item to test something, which won’t work. takes days to get those, maybe, and i already know the idea is bad but i don’t have anything else to do.
i need a bow instead of a crossbow. but then i need to get tributes so i can drop triple-stars, the trifecta. for that i need to season in on the whispers. but every whisper only provides a chance i will get a tribute run for ancestral, so the grind is long and hard. the reward? look a bit better and have a bit higher dmg. good but… what do i do then?
i wanna be out there in the world. but i’m stuck instancing. both those things require instancing. why can’t i find my trifecta in the world? and why can’t i find my mythics there? surely there must be a fair rate of mythic+trifecta drops reasonable for the world itself?
rn… it’s like 1/1 000 000 000, literally, to get a mythic from a random mob. figure no one kills a billion monsters, and if they do they still just land on 50% retrieval. come on ffs, it’s just… a game. it’s just goof! i don’t want to run hardest pit, or have quad harlequin, i can do without… but i want opportunity and i don’t feel the excitement getting out there because the rewards are all buried in the instance grind.
if i’m not excited about the possible rewards it’s difficult to justify play. there’s little to learn for me also because the game is monotone patterns of execution, button press rotations, and not tactical or timed. Plays well, sure, but there’s no actual depth beyond spectacular damage application.
i got some good things and i’m in for next season but i’m also pretty much done. which is alright, i suppose, but still i feel there could easily be more. and there will be, i have good hopes for d4 to grow into a very fine game.
