That oni-sword nerf is possibly one of the dumbest nerfs I've ever seen.

In that change i like that Uber Hillock got buffed.

But yeah, drop rate lowering is kida not cool.

if I'm not mistaken Charan knew this was going to happen months ago so I'm not sure what the problem is here. In fact, I don't even see it as a nerf, they just decided to make them more accessible in the beginning so that player base could actually NOTICE ITS EXISTENCE

OK, now we know it exists. And this free MTX'd up, six linked, super weapon is now appropriately rare

+1 not sure who said they got it in 4 hours but that is not the standard time lol.....


this is a lazy change if anything....I guess you dont want no one having it on the first day of the race that is cool but not sure if this was the best way to go about it

i think that time is based off the drop boost during the earlier stage of the game.

Rare sword is now rarer, who cares?

It's not that it got rarer. It's that it can only drop in a level 1 area. Fine, make it rarer. But then let people who want to farm it get out of the twilight strand.

You cared enough to post, right?

"who cares" well, obviously the people earlier in the thread "care" and I care, and many non posters care. "who cares" is such a stupid saying.

Anyway, whats stupid about the post was that they assumed it took four hours to get one to drop, where it took some 24hours and they didn't see one. The sword was rare enough, and now we don't even know if this new buffed uber hillock will be killable unless you get lucky with earlier gear drops.. while running to his spawn on repeat.

I just feel sorry for the people who wanted to start this league with one, or built a build around the sword. taking longer before getting out of the starting area is going to be "fun" for them... when they already knew it was going to take many hours anyway.

The dumbest part is that you cannot leave Twilight Strand AND you cannot reset the instance to actually farm the sword.
Having to create 6 different characters that each level up on their own is just dumb.

If the sword is to be rarer, they should enable people to use one character to farm it. At least you won't have to relog all the time.

Oni was going to be my league starter and I was really looking forward to new dialogue this play through. Practice-farming it took me two days. The thought of wasting my weekend NOT getting it while my friends are already mapping is pretty disheartening. I just wish someone said something sooner.

I also dislike this nerf to Oni-Goroshi's drop rate. Argument provided in the announcement does not make sense as it already takes around 5 to 6 hours to get it, which means most competent players will be half-way through leveling process.

If the sword takes more than 8 hours to farm, it becomes crazy inefficient and just fabled legend that very few would care about it. It is painstakingly mind-numbing process to farm for it and it only get worse with the proposed change.

Please do not go ahead with this change GGG, I beg you!
