How do you people deal with backtracking?

Backtracking is your own decision, you know.
I do it sometimes when I want to do legion or blight in a bit less chaotic environment.

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.

haha right! same as the people who pick up every item and say 6 portals isn't enough xD

It's quite simple actually. The density that comes from the delirium makes a map feel like a map and half (maybe more) so time lost occasionally backtracking doesn't feel too bad. I view that time as a moment of relaxation, enjoying the spoils anyway.

It helps to pick things up along the way as well so you don't always have to. Most of the time, the only thing I feel pressed to backtrack for is Abyssal Depths, Trials, Vaal side areas and Zana because I pick up on the way.

I grab it as I'm going. The last update makes it a lot easier and I'm still getting 4/2 most of the time.

The problem with delirium mobs is that they don't appear instantly like breach mobs do. You need to bump into things and let them "materialize". Which is counter productive to the philosophy of the league.

That's what Einhar is for. You rope him into helping you clear delirium, then you make sure his "Einhar business" is picking up all the crap strewn along the way.

"Einhar gotta go do Einhar business...badly"

"Nope, pal. You're gonna take this wheelbarrow and pick up all those spicy meatballs and grill bling and bring it to the dropoff or I won't let you near that last beast over there, hear me?"

"Einhar is sad that you put crazy pills and rhinestone pasties ahead of the rite of the First Ones..."

*points to distant beast, sedately rolling around in a mud puddle and curling up for a snooze in a discarded Crusader Buckler lined with well-matted dry leaves and beast undercoat fuzzies and sheds* "I don't think he's going anywhere, maybe if you hurry you can catch him hibernating"

My solution is I don't engage the mirrors 99% of the time. No back tracking required!

Shit league is shit league.
