Feels like heist took a huge nerf

To be honest i have been a huge fan of running heists since the first time this mechanic was implemented. Last league it got a pretty massive change and u were no longer able to target farm specific rewards +the gems got removed which was kind of annoying but still decent. This league u removed all the sextant modifiers meaning u can no longer get enchanted contracts and while every other league mechanic got compensated with the changes to scarabs heist got left in the gutter with nothing. On top of this nerf u even reduced the divination card drops from heist chest meaning its not even worth revealing div card rooms anymore. Really love heist but it just feels worse than any other mechanic now so i was wondering if there could be any changes to this.

Heist is actually low key good.

Do jewelry rooms for snyth item chances and ultimatum for catalyst instead.

The amulets, rings and belts are still kinda good and you can get a number of fine things between.


Now if they add the rumored div cards for specific heist items, then I'd agree, but currently its quite good.

I can agree to this however its very low key compared to other league mechanics and the fact that u cant target farm anymore and farm enchanted contracts just makes it way worse now. Im not saying i want major buffs or anything but at least add some scarabs to heist to compensate for the removal of sextant mods like every other mechanic got. The removal of the enchanted contracts is a huge nerf

They now made it it even more less likely to even bother with revealing the other wings of blueprints. It was pretty taxing to try and run a bunch of blue prints and also revael each wing. But it there doesn't seem to be any additgional benefit to reveal additional wings of blue prints. So it's just better to run them as is. There is no clear advantage to revealing the other wings. It's a time waster and the supply of blue prints just dries up. The div changes still drops stacked decks. But with the new scarab droping full stacks of cards in maps. even stacked decks are lame. They have completely discouraged the stack deck gamble. It's just better to run a map with the scarab.

They still do drop stacked decks however they only drop two from each chest now and no additional div cards like before.You are right no reason to reveal extra rooms since the cost is to high compared to the potential rewards and time spend. Still i think the absolute worst nerf is the removal of enchanted contracts form the sextant modifier

I didn't even know there was a sextant mod for enchanted contracts, so I guess I'm lucky I never got to experience them. The rewards feel the same to me.

Would be cool to have Scarab support for Heist, even if only a little. Right now I am just adding it via the map device for extra contracts on the hunt for an Oscillating sceptre and that‘s cumbersome

Yeah i know that feeling. Back in the days you could just target farm blueprints with experimental items but thats no longer possible. Wish they would at least add a scarab with enchantd contract drop to compensate for the loss of the sextant mod, every other league mechanic got some.

It's barely worth running right now, and certainly not worth putting any atlas passives into the heist nodes. Replicas are all worthless, div card rooms made up about 30-40% of the rewards before and about 80% of that value is now gone.

I noticed less drops in Heist for sure, seems most noticeable on div boxes. Buuuut drops in general have taken a large nerf, there have been complaints about that in maps. This is absolutely a big nerf league, unfortunately. However, I would say in light of that context Heist is actually better than before, because it consistently rewards currency that outside of big lottery plays in the league mechanic is now much scarcer.

Also, saying replicas are "worthless" is just a matter of the market. It's not a design nerf if players decide they don't want to spend 150 chaos on a replica dreamfeather. Have to remember that the prices are all player-driven. The economy right now is not in the state it was in Affliction 2 months in. If a locus + doryani temple is selling for 80 chaos instead of 7-8 divines, OBVIOUSLY a replica is not going to sell for its highest price in affliction's divine-printing economy.
