I don't understand sulphite cap.

Let's say I want to do 50 delves in a row. That costs Z sulphite. Which means I will need to run Y maps.

With a sulphite cap: I have to do Y maps to find Z sulphite.

Without a sulphite cap: I have to do Y maps to find Z sulphite.

I'm doing the exact same number of maps either way. I'm doing the exact same number of delves either way.

The only thing that changes is how many delves I am allowed to do in a row.

I'm thinking noob trap or shit GGG design.

Apparently, I have to edit because the world is full of stupid people.

With a sulphite cap: I do Y maps to find Z sulphite. I can do X delves. I can do infinite maps.

Without a sulphite cap: I do Y maps to find Z sulphite. I can do X delves. I can do infinite maps.

upgrading cap == grinding azurite

grinding == what you do in this game


you must be new here.

he has 0 challenges and hes talking about sulphite and delve...

he has several aliases, in fact the other day I thought yuo were one of them.

Everybody wondering, what is the reason of “sulphshit” existence and why it is so hard to obtain, why players are forced to run dozens of hard obtainable T16 maps to do few delves? Answer is simple and clear. GGG actually want to discourage players from delving too much, because it can very easy ruin precious MTX and “supporter packs” business. Let’s assume there is no any sulphshit and players can actually delve as deep and as far as they want.

What will happen next? There will be next league, but hey, why participate in it at all, if we can delve at will, moreover, with all shiny gear stored in “standard”, all these legacy stuff, all powerful, well designed characters? And what happens to “supporter packs” and “MTX sell” in such case? That’s why there is sulphshit and that’s why we can get only 1000 of this stupidity per T16. If the limit would be higher, then people with 100+ T16 maps in standard could completely give up the new beta testing session… eee… “new league” I wish to say.

And hey, GGG inadvertently promised that after Delve there will be very popular “Incursion” in core game too. So what now? If Delve and/or depths will not be nerfed to the ground or gated behind some insane grind/rng walls, GGG are just one screwed league (like Bestiary) from losing “league” playerbase in favor of standard. What does it mean? This means that server maintenance costs and other fixed costs will remain at the same level, while revenues from supporter packs and other trinkets will decrease. I really, really wonder what they will do now. Because I really do not believe that the answer will be "better content".

Well, without Sulphite Niko wouldn´t have a Job at GGG.
Think of Niko´s children, someone has to earn the money in the family.

In other words:
Why would you want to create an infinite dungeon that can be easily accessed by bots that don´t need to farm maps for sulphite ? I thought keeping the automatonpopulation low in ARPGS is main directive ?

Yes, i too could singlehandedly nerf every concept in this game to a crawl.
Could you guys please be once happy that you got a bit more than just a plain infinite dungeon cookieclicker without walls sulphite crawler diving fossilcrafting dodecahedrons and whiffing.

How do you miss the point? I color-coded the thread. I didn't even use any irrelevant words.

I'm talking about the "CAP". How much sulphite we are allowed to hold at one time.

another suicideall thread. back to mapping

"We introduced this thing in a league. Just like literally every other league ever, you need to play the main game to build up the resources required to run the league content and/or experience what the league is doing."

"BUT WE WANT U TO BR8K TAT RUL THIS TYM FOR NO REASON!! DX"

"...what on Earth would make you think we'd do that?"

"SHEER ANGER AND SPITE DX<"

Yep. Typical GD, really.
