EDIT: I honestly can't remember the 'exact' wording but it did say unique, valuable, Shaper, and equippable. I could've sworn it said "weapon" but my son said he's pretty sure it said "item." Whatever the case, this was definitely not worth 46k kills.


Honestly… I never thought I'd read this on the forum of an ARPG.

Did you go out of your way to kill 46k mobs? No.
Did you do anything different at all to kill those 46k mobs? No.
Would you have killed those 46k mobs regardlessly? Yup.

The only problem I can see is your expectation being out of line with reality, or failing to include the possibility of getting something on the low end of the drop table.
Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more.

'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league.
Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave.

What are you on about? He (and others) aren't getting the items they should be getting, although there does seem to be an issue as to whether it should be a Shaper item or a Relic.

But it's neither a Shaper item nor a Relic, when it should at the very least be one or the other.

Helps to actually read through a thread before trashing someone.

First of all, let him speak for himself, I'm sure he's perfectly capable. I'll admit I didn't read the entire thread, I also don't need to in order to reply to an opening post.

He says himself he didn't remember what the incubator said exactly and so I am relunctant in believing this is a genuine case of it dropping the wrong item. I think my skepticism in this case is warranted. If it is, it's a bug, fix it, done.

But he also specifically mentioned it being "worth 46k kills" which is the part I'm referring to. It's completely subjective of course to put a value to anything, but it's also factually an ARPG game, a killing and looting game, where incubators literally add free loot after a certain amount of kills that you would have killed anyway in order to, you know, play the game.

All I did was try to bring some perspective.

It's really obvious that OP just absolutely failed a reading check here.

This is the 100% full list of incubators:

It's obvious that the item received is a result of the time-lost incubator. Notably, there is absolute no incubator that says both "shaper/elder" and "valuable".

OP's client did not magically generate an incubator never before seen in this land.

Well two things are true.


1. The OP misread the incubator, what he was thinking was going to drop, doesn't exist.

2. Worth the wait, or however you want to frame it, doesn't make sense. You are killing enemies anyways, and this is a guaranteed drop specifically tied to the incubator you activate. You literally just play the game and it shits out loot when ready.

"valuable" laughable at best the definition of valuable for this game when 99% of the uniques suck and others get dropped due to build nerfs.
