New Patch/Helltides

So I have just finished the first helltides and it couldn’t be more disappointing. I don’t mind that monsters are about 1 lvl higher than it used to be (We love the challange) and that the mystery chest’s cap has changed from 175 to 250. The issue I have… that drop of cinders is now half of what it used to be. I could easily farm 500 cinders in 35-40 minutes. Now I can barely get half of it in that same time frame. Sometimes I kill like 4 groups of 10 monsters and get 1 cinder? And once I finally had 250 cinders for chest I get 2x completely useless legendary items. Yes you can get cinders from any breakables in the game but the rate is like 1 cinder from 15-20 breakables? What a joke.

If this is what blizzard thinks is a great reward for 30-40min. grind I can assure you that blizzard is absolutely delusional.

Nice way to kill a season before it even started. Well done Blizzard, why are you trying to be a laughing stock to the people that pay your food you bring home on the table? I understand mistakes happen but shouldn’t you test the changes you make before you let them go live?

Did you thought after 40 min of grind you will get uber unique that are rewarded for exploit users only ?, You should be happy that chest does not cost 1 k cinders and you can’t farm it enought time.

Same just spent 20 minutes and managed to collect a whopping 30 cinders.

There is an issue with Helltide Cinders that the team is looking into.

I don’t care about uniques. I know that mystery chest can drop between 1 to 5 leg items. What message I have tried to get across, that it seem you might have missed, is the fact that grinding for 40min. to get 2 legendary items doesn’t feel rewarding to me at all. If that is what feels like fun to you gl and hf. This patch just made helltides obsolete imho. I can grind dozens of legendary items in that time frame running lvl45-50 NDs.

This is encouraging.
Too bad the rest nerfs are not an issue either. :grin:
