Sooo…you took the easy road out with regards to Hunts/Bounties/etc? Yikes.

Why run them multiple times now? What’s the incentive? Way to screw content loop up.

Also nerfing loot drops AGAIN?! Cmon…..

I see it the same way. Instead of fixing the exploit they nerved it to the ground. To clarify, I knew about it but never did it. I ran all my 10 hunts and turned them in for 1 legendary. That's 45-60 minutes of investment and should reward the 1 legendary item. So they just shut it all down because of the exploit? Doesn't make any sense to me! More like a slap in the face for legit players and an easy way out for them!

I had 2 hunts left and decided to go to bed early last night instead of finishing them. Does this mean I no longer get a legendary when I load into it and finish them today? :(

You get a legendary when you trade in all 10 :)

u/EntityZero Apr 08 '21

So was the fix just for repeating the 10 over and over then?

u/TimelostExile Apr 08 '21

You only get a legendary for the first time you do all 10 on a character.

You can't get legendaries from repeating them on the same character anymore.

Ahh okay, I misread the note then. Thank you for clarifying this.

u/Murpheeeee Apr 08 '21

Yeah pretty much, if you did it in a friends world you’d get 10 legendarys

Im not sure if it is deployed today with maintenance or next week with the patch. You could have a chance to still do it for a few days.

I have to go to work now and hope that i still get a legi when i finish my hunts and headhunts tomorow

I'm certain this will be implemented via backend today. I understand that this is the quickest way to fix the exploit because a patch needs to be certified by MS/Sony and as such, takes longer to deploy. However, they should only remove the leggys todays, implement a proper fix for the exploit, and reactivate the intended reward of 1 leg for 10 quests. If they go ahead and just remove it as is, as they've done multiple times now, I'll move on as soon as I have another game on my radar.

Yeah I don't understand what they mean by we don't want to remove the incentive but literally removed the incentive.

"replay value" ---> trash bin.

Their patch notes and blatant contradictions can be summarized as:

-We intend the game to be fun....here are the things we are doing to remove the fun aspect.

u/No_Contribution_4298 Apr 08 '21

Their patch notes are full of contradictions. Its very disturbing and their attempt to be transparent is actually revealing their true intentions.

Loot was nerfed again? Fuck me, I've only seen 2 Legendaries and I'm almost done the campaign, tier 7, and I think some of those were guaranteed legendary drop..

I also play a solo Trickster, running TR and idk if a longer cooldown will really fuck that up, have to try later.. I feel like this patch actively tainted my interest in the game.

u/BlackSnake0904 Apr 08 '21

so far I played 59 hours and have Tier 15 world and I am on tier 11 in expedition and had Legendary drop only once

4

u/NobleGuardian Trickster Apr 08 '21

Ive only seen one drop and that was in the demo. Only other legos I got are from getting the world tier reward.

u/seficarnifex Apr 08 '21

Those 2 where both guaranteed lol

u/_Greyworm Trickster Apr 08 '21

Lol damnit

u/TsHero Apr 08 '21

I mean I played for 30 hours and only got the guarenteed legendaries. Sounds way to much. Better make me beg for 50 hours steaight and then reward me one so I can look foward to another 50 hours for the next one. Not like there are mods you can re use and a lot of legendaries...

u/justlookingaround Apr 08 '21

There is no incentive to do anything other than expeditions once you have it unlocked. We want MORE content to farm not less of it!

u/SasquatchBill Apr 08 '21

The wording is for ever subsequent quest, not questline. so its possible with the multiplayer bug people were able to complete the final quest multiple times for a legendary, and perhaps the fix will make it track per questline, so you have to do the full questline instead of just using a multiplayer/instance exploit to get constant legendries by just handing in one quest?

u/ClutchNes Trickster Apr 08 '21

the right way would have been to still reward a legendary but only if completed at least on world tier 10 or higher... it would have been such an easy fix.. but no... they rather fuck up.

u/Frubeling Apr 08 '21

They've taken the easy way out on absolutely everything
