How do you people deal with backtracking?

I dont play like my life depends on running 10 maps per minute. Taking some time feels good too ya know.

I like the slower tempo too, since going too fast wears me out and i don't like to play like that in general.
But, currency per/h is criminal. Still haven't got single ex. And that's while i'm at home playing casually during corona outbreak. Working and this, i don't think so anymore...

Moonwalk.

Loot filter.
Very strict self made lootfilter.

To be honest i see no reason to backtrack at all. Just pick items as they drop. Delirium rewards are trash anyway and if you don't get scarabs/currency as your first or second reward you may simply treat entire encounter as few extra mobs.
Even if you don't kill all of delirium monsters you will easily oversustain maps anyway so who cares.

I just accept that I'm playing Path of Backtracking. About 80% of the time i try to loot inside delirium it's auto-RIP

Ignore the splinters. Ignore most low tier currency. Only play up to 4/2, it is next to impossible to reach 5 anyway even with conqueror influence.

Pretty much this, not the ignore splinters part but the fact is reaching 4/2 is trivial, reaching 5 is not. In most maps you may as well loot and hit 4/2 because hauling ass won't get you to 5 anyway.

Just backtrack in stacked alva maps where you might get higher.

I'm clearing pretty fast for my playstyle anyway. With good layout I clear whole map with boss under the fog, rushing to drop as many splinters but i guess i was doing it wrong... feels wrong anyway

It is so sad that we are playing a loot driven game and we are FORCED by GGG to use filters not to see trash loot to the ground, not picking loot cause we are dead if we do, going back and forth to loot our 2x chromatic orbs etc. Clearly this game has lost its path. Everything is about MTX and RMT... sadly...

Backtracks for a Chrome orb, but blames the devs.

"Do you guys not have Lootfilters?!"

Sorry, couldn't resist ;)

I loot as I go. If it's not worth picking up on the way, it's not worth backtracking for.

With that logic we'll get to the point of only stopping to pick up ex.
