i bet more ppl quit this game over this change than any other change... this is really gamebreaking for solo players.


I play solo and have over 70 exalt worth of gear and orbs. Not once have I used the chaos recipes. I also dont spend all day and night playing as I have a 15 month old daughter. Learn to barter and trade. Learn what to buy and what to sell instead of vendor. Also, before someone suggests it, I didn't scam people out of alterations with bad rates either.

So... Should I be multiboxing in order to get the most out of this game, or what?


No, you should be playing as intended and enjoy the game. Unless you care more about what others do.
When they said that the recipe would now grant a chance - 3 regals I figured it wouldnt be too bad and that my usual set of lvl 50+ rares would net me atleast a chaos still... but a chance orb??? for a set of items 50+, really?
at least i don't have to collect sets now, that my sets will get me more alts than a chance orb is worth.

So what about those people - which I'm sure there is a chunk of - that wish to limit their player interactions with others and would prefer to be solely self-sufficient. They could farm whatever they deemed fun in their own eyes in their own free time, make the currency they wanted, and buy the goods they want.

I am really interested to see an official response as to how game breaking these recipes (chaos and regal) were to make such a drastic decision to have little to no variance throughout the acts, but to deem everything below lvl 60 not worthy of anything except chance orbs.

IMO, those players are on the wrong platform, then. No game that I have played online gave you the ability to farm any area at any difficulty and do as well, or even as close to as well, as the players that interacted in trades/barters or farmed higher level areas. It's just the way online games have worked. This is like people complaining that they can't find a shako off normal Diablo.

Its a good change, everyone knows it. Its just the borderline exploiters who lose and complain about it.

Dare go kill some mobs who have the ability to shave off 1% of your hp, scary...

Didnt bother reading the replies since im sure its filled with BS, If what I said has been said i concur.
Good change.

Orb sellers running bots abusing this 24/7 even on hardcore (pretty much 0% chance to die when ur doing a lvl 20 zone at lvl 60+).

Should have doubled or tripled what you get from ilvl60 set of rares though since you really do go through a bunch of currency rolling maps at higher lvl's.
I think that change is good but the scaling ladder for exchange rate should be boosted by a lot. Let's be honest who multiboxes actively in hardcore at 60+. With a minimum itemlevel 60 i still get 1 orb of chance... This change just made high level players who already stashed on chaos orbs, will get more chaos and more regal.. This change just dramatically pushed the balance for high level players. I do get the idea of this change but definitely at around 55 ilvl we should get 1 chaos.
