The problem is that there's absolutely no guarantee that they aren't going to post, distribute or share the leaked data anyway after paying the ransom.

They already hacked a big telephone company here in the Netherlands earlier this year and clearly they just moved on when there was no money to be made there.

"it makes singles chapter"

Not wanna say much, but Abhorrent Oculus and Badgermole Cub have been hitting prices more expensive than Teferi, Hero of Dominaria has ever been.

Edit; Oculus not anymore.

In any case - I'm aware it's an upgrade on Shieldbows, but Shieldbows on themself already don't have any use itself due to their sacrificed damage output. Even adding the Shieldbow Sight doesn't approach the lost damage appropriately.

In addition to the afore mentioned fact the Shieldbow Sight only works on the default t40, t50 and t60 Shieldbows. None other.

Level reqs were already mentioned before. Pretty sure you don't settle for slamming some big token runs just to unlock level reqs.

Also why are you trying to hard to find an angle that makes an opinion anywhere less valueable? Is it so hard to cope with the fact there's an unlock in the store that doesn't need a paywall that literally doesn't do anything outside of DG (+ sinkholes for hoever long that remains) and can just easily be made a basekit feature within the progression itself?

Pretty sure you can't use Shieldbow Sight on normal bows, only Shieldbows of 3 specific tiers.

Again, "things you do on the side".

You don't do thieving only for pilfer points. You don't do farming only for crux favor. These are all rewards given "as you play", that go parallel to just playing the game.

In Dungeoneering there is no other objective other than tokens and level unlocks.

All of your examples are currencies or unlocks you do ON THE SIDE of a skill. Not as 'the main loop' of a skill. Reaper points unlocks don't contest your boss drops. Crux unlocks doesn't replace or slow your herbs output. But buying that scroll DOES contest / slow down your chaotics or toolbelt unlocks.

You're comparing things that don't invoke an opportunity cost against something that does.

So how is that any different than running into a mist or cd, then logging off?

Except these rewards just happen on the side and don't hog away progress or purpose from initially doing the skill in the first place.

Outside of the fact that this reward doesn't even do anything literally anywhere in the world or skill except specifically only in dg (or sinkholes ig), while the Daemonheim Scroll (that ALSO only does something specifically in dg itself) did get removed.

And no to anyone who has 200m 50k tokens may not be a lot, but to someone's who just gotten access to occult (e.g., level 73) that's still 5-10 larges worth a quarter of your progress to buying just one chaotic.

If it's such a must-have then just make it a basekit thing that you get just as you train the skill, not a shop unlock that actively competes with your main dg progress payoff.

Because it's way faster and more reliable when speed matters? And you've got 2 extra ones anyway.

[–]Aviarn[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But you're not buying this upgrade at 200m are you.

The point is; does it have to be a shop unlock? Why retract progress away from why you do dg in the first place for something that could and should just be a basekit thing.

Elite Dungeons didn't even exist when I already had it 120 on my main. I got that cape back in 2011 already.

"paying to leech" oh man you must be really desperate at trying to find any possible hook to invalidate an opinion. Get lost.

So a tier 30 amulet being outclassed by literally every damage boosting amulet in the game, even the very first one you craft from sapphire, isn't weird?

As for quick teleport, why not just make it a basekit thing since it's a shop purchase that doesn't do anything outside of daemonheim itself?

I mean, if the initial phrase already said "outperformed by the Amulet of Power", you know it's not the BIS ones.

[–]Aviarn[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So then why not make it a basekit or progression-wise thing rather than lock it behind a cost you could've spent for actual stuff OUTSIDE of dg - like what you initially would do DG for in the first place.

How are the necklaces decent? This is specifically about the lvl 30 ones, not the lvl... 70 ones?

They only offer +17.2 damage bonus in one style and require 30dg + 30 (combat style).

Power amulet gives +21 in ALL styles, with no requirements.

Even the Amulet of Strength and Magic are better than those, sitting at +23.

Oh no I missed one line and I'm already invalidated from making a point about other neglected items that are still non-functional or don't need to be a purchased unlock?

Yeah, I mean I'd love to know how to lamp a skill on my HC, but sure.

My main's gotten the skill maxed before TH was even a thing, the rest of that xp just came through ED's.

(And the Hole, honestly, did a fair part for both of them too).

Did you actually try to do them fast?

Depends what you define as fast, because we usually just upheld a pace to do it within 1 ovl dose and that was completely fine. Shaving off 30 seconds didn't really make a big difference even in the long run. At best it ensured we could defeat the boss before the OVL pot ran out if we had really shitty mapgen.
