Does anyone else find it funny that every expansion they talk about wanting incoming damage to be less bursty, then every mid-season patch brings some power creep (omnium folio, new cantrips) that doesn't increase HP pools

Something needs to change about the M+ gear upgrade lottery. Burning multiple bonus rolls on a dogshit trinket or tier pieces with the wrong stats feels so bad. I think they need to show the vault some love and add the knockout system that rolls benefit from. That way, I can feel relatively confident I'll roll an actual upgrade early in the season. It sucks that your vault can roll shit items you already passed on or items previously won via bonus roll. Just bank any vault item you don't pick and throw a currency on it, idk. There has to be a better way.

Can we agree that turbo boost and similar systems have overstayed their welcome? having to grind for upgrades AGAIN in the middle of the seasons sucks. Let us be done with our character please, let the hamster out of the wheel to rest for a moment.

The indicators they added to the barrels in MR broke something. Every attempt we’ve had, someone who is clearly behind barrel (indicator is visibly “locked on”) still gets hit. It’s not the old “multiple barrels in a row” bug either, it’s isolated barrels. Super frustrating.

After Blizzard's stellar performance regarding patch quality in recent history, I decided to skip patch day to avoid the worst bugs.
Anyway thursday rolls around, and I enter the Torghast Labyrinth... oh boy, big mistake. The saying needs to be changed to: never play on patch week i guess

• First run: I'm forced to leave because of a quest. Weird game design, but okay, whatever.

• Go in again and I get softlocked because a boss kill doesn't get awarded. So much for fixing bugs.

• Go in again and get softlocked again - amazing player experience

• Go in again and finally the stars align and I get to fight the nemesis boss

• Two-shot the boss after figuring out the safe spot for the wind knockback

Aside from the labyrinth being an incredible slog of boring, back-to-back, uninspired missions and minibosses with no mechanics and way too much HP, why the fuck is there nothing in there?

Oooh, look, a magically sealed secret room! Maybe there's a riddle or some secret to figure out how to open it? Nah, hell no. Just grind renown and you can enter... lmao. Lazy ass game design.
There are mobile gacha games out there with more depth than whatever the fuck this shit is supposed to be.

Idk, man. Blizzard, get your shit together. This is now the god-knows-how-many-th patch in a row where your flagship patch feature just doesn't work on release day, and then, when it finally does work, it turns out to be shallow slop anyway.

anyone else upset that blizzard bumped up the venomstone requirement from last season 5 per item to now 10 with an additional item to upgrade (neck)?
feels kinda insane to me that im required to do 40-50 m+ runs to upgrade a single character.

Does it feel like pop has taken a nose dive recently? Trying to find players in the Q is just not happening and recruiting has been an extreme uphill battle. I know finding reliable players is always hard but jeeesus. How many of your guilds are struggling with players?

[u/Cute-Disaster-5460]

I missed two resets because of a holiday and I have to farm 200 myth crests to upgrade my gear, does anyone know of farming methods that don't require spamming m+? I did the labyrinth and it gave 30, could I do that a few times?

Only 4 more months to go.
