It feels like every time blizzard listens to the community and gives us something we want there is one person in the office that is a specialist in figuring out creative and unique ways to create a whole new level of frustration and unneccessary complication.
Why do the corruptions have to cycle? There are 56 corruptions in the game, we get 2 cycles of 6 per week. IF the rotation is fixed and no duplicates will show up during those cycles you can wait up to 5 weeks to get the corruption you actually want. Why do you have to timegate my enjoyment in the game? Corruptions make up roughly a 50% damage boost for most classes and you just completely shut that off from us with a compeltely pointless time-gate. and even worse: a time gate where we donât see the end, will i get it next week? in 5 weeks? Will it ever show up, are some specificly rare corruptions even part of the rotation, like gushing wounds? All you did is create a whole new weekly box of disappointment, now i can get disappointed 5 times a week instead of the previous 2 times, super! (pvp chest, m+ chest, 470 5 mask item and 2x corruption vendor rng). Currently my gameplay looks like this: i log on, do my dailies, do my weekly m+, get my pvp cap, do my visions, and then i log off again. I repeat this cycle until maybe one day i get the items i want that make me remotely competitive with people with equal gear. I lost all enjoyment i had while progressing my character, while i had lower gear my competition didnt have BiS corruption so i had regular 99% parses on raid encounters, i got to poush my class and feel good about doing research and refining the way i do encounters and get the most out of my class. Now i can be lucky to get a 70% parse and when i compare my logs all i see is corruption. I donât feel good about progress, i feel like iâm getting worse the more i play my character just because the more item level i get the more it hurts my stats that i dont have bis stats and corruption on my gear (yes i know, i dont gear for ilvl i sim all my upgrades).
What happened to the philosophy you so proudly presented: We want you to be able to immediately equip your upgrades and feel good about them! ??
Now you are telling me: i want you to grind echoes to maybe get a corruption that you can maybe put into your bank until i maybe randomly with pure luck and 0 skill involved get an item from a chest thats actually worth using the corruption on, in 5 weeks or so.
Who thought of this???
Why canât you jsut let me play my class, have fun and enjoy the content? Why does every m+, every raid and every arena i play just remind me on my lack of corruption and chest rng (yes i have a 475 getikku, yes that is extremely lucky, but sadly doesnt even remotely make up for the 50% damage loss from the lack of corruption)???
Please blizzard, i just reunited with a friend of mine to start taking arenas a little bit more serious again and now all we do is wait week for week for the raden weapons for my mate and gushing for me before we can even think of being productive on a high rating (and dont come at me with just get better, we both have multiple r1 titles over a long period of time, it doesnt matter how well you play when you do 50% less damage than your opponent just cuz that warlock has 7x gushing and that ww and dh both have raden weapons)
My mate who literally got 3 r1 titles in a single season got declined by 2k people just cuz he doesnt have raden weapons, and you cant even blame them because the damage difference is just so damn massive.
Blizzard PLEASE stop gating fun away from us, i want to enjoy the game, i want to play, but i donât because every second i play, every moment i spend theorycrafting and coming up with stuff i just get reminded that itâs no use until i get the proper gear luck.
