[Golganar-kazzak]

Stars only good for long single target fights, or if rng god wish you proc it with every gcd.

I’m not talking about fail content,corruption system etc.I’m talking about justice.300 m+ dungeons,raid bosses,weekly chests and still got nothing.

Loot now is pretty awful, demotivating, and undeserving of respect.

I’d like to resurrect three videos from a year ago, that I found very interesting.

In the first, Travis Day explains the evolution of his thinking on loot systems from WoW to Diablo:

Then Preach reacts, asking some questions I’d like to ask as well:

And finally Kevin Jordan weighs in on Preach’s views:

It’s a long journey, and it leaves me with more confusion than answers, and you will not find a one-line moral anywhere within it, but if anything I think the nearest thing to a conclusion is that the devs are all screwed up in their thinking, trying for some game-designer purity ideal that does not resonate with players.

Loot system sucks, because the system slugish, unpolished, outdated easy made. Put 100+ loot in 1 table, roll out 1.

Why that idiot rng not working for me one time?300 dungeons,raid bosses,horrific visions and more.No infinite stars,no devastation,no haste,versa crit.Just avoidence,leech etc.
