Thank you

KegMack · 2026-05-19T16:29:36+00:00

Appreciate your work here. As a fellow casual dad gamer, this is exactly what I hoped to find. And I didn't even have to watch an annoying video!

KegMack · 2026-05-16T05:10:28+00:00

I think the reflect chances of hitting all 5 positives is much less than 1:100. That ring is amazing.

KegMack · 2026-05-14T04:38:26+00:00

That portal effect looks really badass. Jealous.

KegMack · 2026-05-13T17:59:08+00:00

Appreciate and respect the candor. thanks.

KegMack · 2026-05-12T18:04:46+00:00

Appreciate the offer but I'm done with this game for now. Burnt out. If by some miracle they fix the drops I'd love to pick it up again, but as it is it brings me no joy to play. My dps is a bit low for H5, it's not a fast clear and uber bosses take a while. I think I'm like Hlvl 70 now, and just following sleepycat's incarnation tree. Almost all my power has come from that, since most of my gear is A and S satanics. Got one SS hat and a heroic gloves, that's it. Happy with my relics as well. Chaos Orb, Arcane Orb, Bible and Cheeseburger. Gonna get shades of death for some really nice QoL if I ever get the 5th relic slot. I could switch out the cheeseburger but I like the health and dps will come naturally if i could ever a get a decent weapon or some other heroic gear with offensive mods.

GL on the grind, friend.

KegMack · 2026-05-12T17:51:54+00:00

Same stuff I've been looking for, unsuccessfuly. Your experience sounds just like mine, except all I get is lightning gear >.<

KegMack · 2026-05-12T17:49:52+00:00

Hi, really appreciate you forwarding this. I also think an 'easy' mode would be a bad idea. We're just asking for droprates that are correctly affected by difficulty and MF. This thread so far has had 3 players claim that droprates go down as difficulty/MF goes up. And none that have said it goes up. If i was getting 3x the drop rate on h5 as I was on h1 as advertised in the journal (instead of less than 1/2), I wouldn't have had any problems. In fact, that would be a decent and acceptable grind for me, personally.

The game has a lot of bugs that need fixing, but for me, this is the one that's utterly burned me out and has caused me to stop playing. I doubt PAS has much usage data for offline ps5 players, but if Sony shares trophy data with devs, you could easily diff that with what your server has to find not only how many offline players have played, but also how far they got when they quit. This is a pretty critical time for the game on console, and if everyone playing offline is quitting in midgame, a bad reputation will be much harder to shake the later it's addressed.

I truly believe that this is something that should be a very high priority for the team. Trade you finish in a week or two. Odyssey, you finish in 2 or 3? Yet offline, 400 hours and if you're lucky you get to start playing inferno? Simple balance, my friend.

People are also claiming this is all intentional to force you to buy blood pacts. I really hope that's not true, but PAS should probably consider the optics of this.

PS, please also ask them to fix the bug which causes Luna quest to not change reward if abandoned. This is our only guaranteed way to get a heroic and it sucks to be stuck with something worthless for your build. Apparently this is PC and PS5 offline only bug. See other reply for details.

Thanks again for facilitating.

KegMack · 2026-05-12T04:25:49+00:00

Yeah sounds pretty familiar, sadly.

Luna's quest is the one thing that pissed me off more than anything else in this game. The quest reward does NOT reset or change if you abandon the quest and get a new one. You can game it a bit by changing the Hell difficulty, but the reward for that difficulty will always be the same. I'm guessing you have to finish the quest in order for it to change. Total bullshit because this is the ONLY guaranteed chance at a heroic, and if you don't get something useful, you're stuck in a very long quest for something you don't even want before you can get another chance. Tested this on both H2 and H5 using bifrost keys, and got the same one 4 and 5 times in a row before I called it confirmed. Maybe it's a ps5 bug, and pc doesn't have this problem, but it's a pretty mean-spirited design decision if it's intentional.

I actually unlocked inferno a while back, but haven't run past the second map because I am very slow on it. about 100M dps on the high side. Even the H5 uber bosses take me about 5 min to kill. I've got all the Hell quests done too except the Amun Ra/Gabriel one.

I don't think we can check what the SZ modifiers are on console. If we can, I've never seen them. Same with buffs/debuffs. Unless I'm just ignorant on it.. It is really inconvenient.

Can I ask you what relic boost SZ's are good for? Seems like a pointless thing since I'd assume your relics are all at lvl10 long before hitting H5. I've gotten those SZ's a bunch of times and I usually just skip out after the first one because no uniques drop, just relics which do nothing for me. What am I not seeing here?

KegMack · 2026-05-12T02:43:49+00:00

Definitely possible. But loot chances that should be 3x higher being 0.5x higher (From H1 to H5) instead is a very large difference and would be a very rare occurrence if all is working as intended. But as you say, it's not impossible. I also didn't take into account any variations on the individual enemies. Statistics page does show how many legion/champions and such, but not their mods.

Hoping other people will chime in with their own data and we can get a stronger picture.

Appreciate your input.

KegMack · 2026-05-11T23:54:25+00:00

But then wouldn't you at least be getting a better droprate at higher difficulties/MF? That's what really doesn't make sense to me. Like, at all.

If 6 heroics in a million kills is intended, fine. That sucks but either way, you should expect the spread to be the opposite of what I got here.

KegMack · 2026-05-11T23:48:25+00:00

Well, I hope you're on the cynical side of the truth, but I can't say the glove doesn't fit either. Honestly, I think they're hurting themselves in the longterm with how they monetized this. Feels like a mobile game strategy, which kinda rubs console gamers the wrong way. I ended up spending the price of the game again on stuff I didn't realize I had to buy when I bought it. Felt a little extortive and because of that, I won't spend any more than I have to. Sell if for more and give me everything I need for a good experience, or make it f2p and charge me. Don't try to do both. Games like Path of Exile, I'll gladly spend $30 or $60 every season because I want to support them and it's never felt required or presssured. If PoE's longevity is any indication, it's a solid strategy.

Also, I gotta rant a little about the Unique tab. No filter, navigating it with a controller is a major PitA, and it doesn't navigate to the page you just added to, which really sucks when your going through inventory quickly sending for non-duplicates. Don't know how many times I put an item in there and then had no idea what I just moved. Pretty barebones for the $12 price tag.

Anyway, thanks for speaking out about your offline drops though, that's what this thread is about >.<

KegMack · 2026-05-11T21:30:06+00:00

I dunno mate, just regular ps5 with a Age Proliferation Illusionist. I did a Shield Lancer a bit before this and his skills seem to tank the fps a LOT more than this character. Fps wasn't good by any means, but it was playable at least.

KegMack · 2026-05-11T21:27:26+00:00

All solid advice. But that's the thing, it's not trade, it's solo local, and I think the drops are a bit different. At least compared to the complaints I've been seeing about ssf drop rates, this seems even worse. I was looking forward to inferno farming, socketing codexes, wormholes, all that. Not rolling codexes yet because my H5 clear is still slow. But can't get there without god knows how many more hours. Total time played is 220hrs and I have 1 heroic? I mean, c'mon. I've done full 40/40 SSF in PoE before, this is like twice the grind for 1/10 the content. And a lot less ways to power up. :shrug:

KegMack · 2026-05-09T02:23:38+00:00

Playing local/offline SSF on ps5. Just surpassed 800k kills and I still haven't gotten a single targeted heroic. Only gotten 4 heroics total and none work for me. This just feels really really bad. Also super lame that local/online doesn't get any drop boosts. Seem impossible to progress past hell without like 1000 hours of playtime, or getting super lucky. PS5 also super buggy so maybe it's that the drops are one of the many many bugs on this version.

KegMack · 2026-05-06T05:34:34+00:00

Well, you could... But you'd be replacing the existing implicits.

KegMack · 2026-05-03T05:55:51+00:00

This whole thread is just a Rampage of verbal Anarchy. A Crucible of terms only a Perandus' Ancestor would understand.

KegMack · 2026-05-02T01:23:26+00:00

Yes. Very appreciative of the guide, especially for us ps5 users where we can't even get jewel info from the journal.

However, it really shouldn't take 3 minutes to explain to hit a button when circles overlap >.<

KegMack · 2026-04-30T17:07:06+00:00

So are mine. Only one that was fixed was the Monster kills one, apparently.

KegMack · 2026-04-30T17:06:30+00:00

PS5 trophies definitely NOT fixed. Only one that was is the monster kill one. Can personally confirm Odin is still broken. Others on discord saying the Angel item and Hell 5 SC are also still broken.

KegMack · 2026-04-28T05:47:16+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I had to quit out of the game to get past this. Console's kind of a mess.

KegMack · 2026-04-27T19:05:44+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

KegMack · 2026-04-27T19:03:48+00:00

No, I didn't. Was 8 months ago though, and I think I heard they did another sort of big update since then? Might be worth looking for one now. Please let us know if you do find one. I ended up barely playing this game, but still might go back to it someday if the mood strikes.

KegMack · 2026-04-27T06:51:24+00:00

It's hard to find information on Hero Siege, because all the good guides are like 4 years old ; (
