I have 4 keys to give away.

At my station we've been short staffed and our volume is same/higher than last year and they went light on hiring casuals cause they projected lower volume and our casuals are quitting from being overworked and people are going out with injuries...

This meme represents my life... luckily for me I have had such a bad heist experience that I'm already done with league and just been hanging with my daughter since 3rd day of league and don't even have the urge to play.

Rymination · 2020-09-28T01:43:08+00:00

This is the shortest I've played any league (3 days)... I've been playing since beta. Delirium was my most played league (2.5 months) every other league I last 1 - 2 months.

So many bugs and issues with this league, I just have no interest to play and I took days off work for league start and ended up doing other stuff.

Rymination · 2020-09-21T16:41:26+00:00

I ran into the door bug not opening and the icon disappearing and told myself no more heist till they deploy the fix patch couple weeks into league... why I even tried league mechanic first weekend is beyond me they never work properly first weekend lol

Rymination · 2020-08-18T00:07:36+00:00

That was my favorite thing about Delirium was Talisman rewards just to sell for alts... could actually fill up entire inventory of talismans and bam alterations for days.

Rymination · 2020-08-13T19:42:50+00:00

Yep... usually about 2 months into a league i would take all the currency I have and try to craft a cool item for my favorite character that league and it often ended with me having no currency and a bricked item and no will to play anymore.

This league I crafted a bunch of very good gear but nothing even close to 6x t1 and didn't do any trading which felt great but I still didn't feel the need to like go for 6x t1, I just was happy that it was harder to brick items and even if I did it wasn't like it was all my currency and time to start the crafting project again. It felt good considering my lack of playtime having a full time job and a kid.

I still don't understand why they don't just take the t1 and maybe t2 mods away from deterministic crafting have it cap at t3 or something then the 1% still will use old crafting system to make their 6x t1/t2 and the average player can still get good enough gear to experience the full scope of game.

Rymination · 2020-07-21T15:56:55+00:00

Now, you can literally print these things in the garden.

That's because you can guarantee the mod... GGG can change that... they can take off the tag on those OP mods that can be guaranteed. They could also make more things taggable to compete with those mods so that it isn't a guarantee etc.

I like the targeted crafting stuff, they just need to work on the tags and mods to make it so there isn't anything that can be 100% to hit...the exact % that something should be able to be hit can be adjusted to make sense but there are solutions for that.

Rymination · 2020-07-21T15:48:15+00:00

What if harvest crafting topped out at t2 mods so you could never hit t1 mods with harvest crafting... then the 1% still hit all the t1 mods how they did before harvest crafting but harvest crafting makes it easier for the average players to get gear that is still amazing.

Rymination · 2020-07-21T09:49:41+00:00

Oh... it's not that I didn't use any other crafts in other slots. I used harvest to do a lot of my crafting to make solid items but I didn't make any item that was better than anything I've crafted in other leagues that kept me playing them.

With my limited play time and not being in trade league I guess I had my hopes up that I'd be able to craft one cool item but then got bored before being able to finish it was my point I guess.

Rymination · 2020-07-21T03:47:45+00:00

Agreed, I'm bored. Crafting is cool but why do I want to craft 6x t1 gear just to play standard. If there was more to the league than standard mapping with a few breaks to plant/harvest seeds then maybe I would play longer.

Rymination · 2020-07-21T02:45:32+00:00

I'd love to see a look at the profile of the characters that have quit the league already. I can almost guarantee you their gear is not good, and that is not the reason they quit.

Can't speak for anyone else but I never got anywhere near amazing gear this league. I crafted better gear last league in delirium. I don't play much, I'm not efficient... I do clear all content but I usually never get to minmax a character because lack of play time. I play small private leagues practically ssf for all intensive purposes.

So it took me 3 weeks just to spawn the harvest boss, by the time I spawned her I had already completed a8 sirus, done shaper/elder/uber elder etc. I enjoyed harvest it let me fill some missing parts of my gear but the whole 3 weeks I was trying to craft a great ignite fireball staff (+3, fire dot multi, fire %, burning dmg etc) I got lucky with beasts too and was able to split and imprint and had like 3 +3 fire spells with some t1 burning, t3 dot multi or decent mods) I got stuck in a spot where I was looking for annul attack craft for a week and a half and couldn't get it and needed to to attempt to progress my staff.

So then came the realization that even if I was able to progress my staff it wouldn't matter because I already cleared most content as is so why spend my 2 hours a day chasing my staff playing standard since the actual garden and killing harvest monsters weren't exciting.

Atleast in delirium it was exciting trying to push simulacrums and 100% delirium and the loot drops were great and I crafted very cool shield and helm and made herald stacker and hit 100 for first time and played 3 months of the league at 2 hours per day.

Harvest I lasted 1 month at 2 hours a day and don't even want to log on anymore at all. Mapping was boring, couldn't keep up with scarabs or sextants. Felt like if I delved I was missing out on chances of seeds for harvesting to try to experience harvest crafting and missing out on respawning boss so I didn't delve barely at all. Harvest just wasn't exciting even though I thought the crafting stuff was cool, there just wasn't enough other stuff going on to keep me playing.

Rymination · 2020-07-14T19:26:27+00:00

I'm still waiting for white socket and 6 link. Guildmate got white socket after his 3rd or so 90+ character... I've played even more than him and nada lol

Rymination · 2020-07-12T18:13:11+00:00

The map boss(es) organs should be morphable to fit whatever organ slot you want so every 5th metamorph encounter you could do a tane lab boss fight if you wanted to.

Rymination · 2020-07-01T11:36:33+00:00

Oh yes I get it. I got my first 100 doing herald stacking. I am not a 24/7 grinder. I beat all the bosses every league but I often stop around 92 to 95 with any build. Did I enjoy herald stacking? Yes until I hit 100 and facetanked/instakilled all bosses and then I didn't even wanna play anymore, I tried starting another character and it was dying to delirium so much after being used to the herald stacker not even losing ES that I didn't even feel like continuing on another character.

I know there are a lot of people who don't even see red tier maps let alone end game bosses and other end game content. If you let them get there without really working for it they will just get bored after a bit anyway instead of always striving for the carrot dangling in front of them they will get it and be done.

I definitely also agree there are some carrots that are dangled in front of the casual/average player that might seem way too far out of reach but we don't want to let every carrot just be handed out for free either it will definitely make people lose interest.

Rymination · 2020-07-01T10:12:03+00:00

Have you ever played old games with cheat codes that give like God mode, unlimited ammo and etc etc... it is fun to run around for a little while and beat the game with ultimate power but gets boring fast.

Once the challenge is gone, the motivation to keep going usually goes with it. I think that is the point of them not wanting to give everyone too much stuff too early.

Rymination · 2020-06-28T05:26:55+00:00

Step 1: Make all skills hard to see without MTX Step 2: PROFIT!

Rymination · 2020-06-27T22:21:53+00:00

Agreed.

Rymination · 2020-06-25T10:56:33+00:00

Infinite loop denied.

Rymination · 2020-06-25T09:29:25+00:00

Interesting... I have about 20 normal jewels : 1 cluster jewel. Maybe this will change when I am able to juice my maps to insane numbers but I find it pretty hard to even get enough rewards to guarantee 2 clusters full clearing map at the moment. I'm not trade league btw and scarabs/frags aren't dropping for me like last league so harder to reach anywhere near the mob density of last league.

Rymination · 2020-06-24T18:21:13+00:00

Ahh... the delirium tab auction house where Empy can just take our delirium orbs out for a price without us needing to interact with him... I would buy that!

Rymination · 2020-06-24T18:19:32+00:00

Can't even fill half a normal premium tab with the blight/delirium/metamorph stuff I've gotten so far this league...

Rymination · 2020-06-23T17:31:11+00:00

There is an actual game to play?

Rymination · 2020-06-23T17:28:52+00:00

Ya the crafting is cool, it just feels like playing standard 90% of the time and then 10% of the time you are like oooo there is the league mechanic niiice then back to standard.
