The fate of Stygian Belts ....

I think it would be nice for abyss items and league mechanics to come to main game, but if they put like 10% or even 5% chance of spawn would be kinda balanced I think. Or maybe even less % per instance.
At least that's something I would like to see in next league, so Abyss items are chase items :)
Not sure how many ppl agree though...

I hope the abyss league doesn't stay. The jewels completely mess up the balance of the game for me in a way that I do not like in terms of mechanics. Belts are a complete waste at the moment due to Stygian vise being.. to efficient. Same with the other unique items with jewel sockets.


I personally hope they nerf some of the shaper/elder items and make abyss extremely rare or just remove it. It's overkill at the moment.

Or not. Breach was implemented as occurring occasionally only in maps. It could go either way until GGG makes a decision near the end of the league.


Yeah, that works too. Either way, 'relegated' is the word I chose and it's the word I'm sticking to.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I don't understand why you want nerfs when there's a whole bunch of endgame content you haven't even cleared yet.


I like these comments. Someone states their belief, which is then belittled based and an observation of a profile. For all you know this might be an alt account posted by an uber player..

Cheers,

Birds of a feather flock together. Think you and Totem should go clear alluring abyss together. It's long over due to get that one wrapped up under the belt.


Is it a common theme on these forums that players with 5 years under their belts, incomplete red maps, never got all masters to level 8, end game bosses incomplete spent most of their time commenting on forums? It's like commenting about problems you dont have, yeah all that power creep and op stuff.. haha needs to be nerf am i right? Meanwhile.. White mapping since atlas release..

As for belts.. Lets be honest, HH is still the god of all belts. Stygian belts just give people alternatives to belt with good stats that otherwise you'd have to pay 50 ex for. The average player can get a decent belt, put in a jewel and have a functioning build. Meanwhile getting a regular belt of any decent value is expensive and underwhelming. Spending 20ex+ on a 3 t1 res belt is just a hose down.

I don't understand why people think HH is the best belt and will always be..... It for sure is the most fun you will have while using a belt. but best. absolutely not

not poking at you specifically because this is a common opinion even amongst people who know this game well... Stygians are best in slot for all belts in terms of balance, power, versatility etc etc etc
I got a fever and the only prescription, is more cowbell!

Agree with the belt comment, but if you could explain why I need to get certain achievements done I'd be greatfull. Especially since I did a few normal Atziri runs and found them annoying, why would I want to do a harder more annoying version??

Also, I don't want nerfs, but gated RNG really annoys the shit out of me.

If Shaper/elder items are here to stay, I don’t think standard could possibly be more shit on. Abyss is an after fart compared to the sheer uselessness of every mirrored item that existed before that installment.

I would wager the abyss will go away just like harbinger did. The items are exclusively from certain monsters, so it’s easy to just code them out. Was a stupid league anyhow.
It will be nice to know the official call on this before it's too late to react to it.
