Why nerf breach....again?

I was not in the original beta, I think the concept of Dried Lake runs is pretty stupid, I don't care for boss runs. Nemesis was pretty good, it's definitely up there somewhere.

This design concept shouldn't even exist, to begin with.

oh snap

I actually think breaches are fun, but they shouldn't be the feeding troughs the clearspeed autists want. Same for abyss.

I seriously debate opening abysses. Pretty much the only reason I end up on the side of opening them is the lich drops can be valuable. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t touch them. The ones that don’t end in a lock aren’t worth the time.

Breach is cancer. Nerfed? Good.

this way they can give breach to people that want it and at the same time cripple it so other people will play the other options. like...like...well there are other options.

That makes zero sense. You don't like it, fine, don't do it. Why should the people who do like it have to miss out because people like you don't like it? It is as much our game as it is yours.

I don't think many people would care if they game wasn't a wasteland to begin with. Why is clearspeed so popular? Because this game is unrewarding as fuck. Breach was pretty much the ONLY thing in this game that wasn't unrewarding.

Or, why is the game "unrewarding as fuck?" Because clearspeed is so popular.
And now Breach is the next victim.

...Are you on... like... drugs or something?

You realize that if you kill the mobs slower they don't drop more loot, right?

If you play with negative resists and die 50 times before Kitava you aren't getting more than someone who plays the game properly and kills him the first time.

This is the same issue with people that told me how because my golems kill stuff in off-screen I should be punished by volatiles chasing me around the entire map.

The game is giving me bad loot.

The game is giving me the option to go through content faster.

Why in the name of anything would I choose to get bad loot while going through content slowly?

Do you also think that Bestiary was a good thing when rare mobs with certain mods were harder to kill than bloody Uber izaro?

You realize that if clearspeed hadn't become so fast and dominant then content would probably be rebalanced to drop a little more.

GGG doesn't want you maxing out your gear too fast, i.e. they don't want you getting drops too fast. Cuz the faster you gear out, the less incentive there is to keep playing longer in general. And because people have pushed the envelope so far with clearspeed farming, ggg's continually had to nerf the rewards for doing so.

Lol they hardly drop any splinters anyway now

Might as well not even activate them

Just a thought here: if a game becomes unrewarding as fuck to you, it might be time to move on to other pastures. It's not a job, it is a game which people are supposed to do for fun.
