What do You guys think? iLvl ∞ spectres = infinite delve?

For the purposes of delve, they do not NEED to raise the lvl of the monsters. They can provide the infinite difficulty in other ways and technically is probably safer to do so this way.

Can be addressed without changing iLvl for drops.

Yeah, and you'd have earned them. By delving deep.

Sorry, but that is a terrible reason to disappoint players.

Sure, they don't NEED to... :\

3) I am very, very confused as to why you are disappointed. Literally nothing is affected by item level not increasing except specters. Zero. There are NO affixes that can roll on items above 86 so where is your disappointment stemming from except for point 1? Genuinely curious coz now I think i've misunderstood your point if your point wasn't specters.

OK, so let's say I'm crawling deep.

I don't want out-of-game recognition on some ladder, saying, "Grats, you went deep."

I want items that reflect how deep I crawled. Like: "Oohh look at that, iLvl 103. Ooh baby, that's sweet."

Make sense?

But that's my confusion. Let us say for a second that monsters went up in level as you delved infinitely as is the topic here. Lets even say they dont cap at 100 and just keep going up in levels. So now you are getting ilvl 300 items.

This expansion is not going to overhaul the affixes pool to give you new prefix/suffixes. So you'll have exactly what ilvl 86 items have in terms of mods.

Unless your complaint is "Why are they not overhauling affix pool?"

Lets also not forget that items from delves are NOT going to be better than atlas. You have no chance at shaper/elder items which are nowadays, generally speaking superior.

Either you're not getting my point, or you're trying to drive home one of your own: That it doesn't impact the quality of the item.

But I'm going to reiterate my point: After killing the equivalent of an iLvl 103 monster, I don't want some iLvl 86 base dropping off of it; I want something that says, "Where this item came from, the content was leet."

Ok, now i got you. Its an e-peen argument.

Fair enough. I, personally, care more about how far I can get compared to the best in the world, but I see the appeal.
