I’m really not one to complain about how a game is unplayable, but this patch’s helltides updates legitimately mean I’m stopping interacting with this feature until they fix it. Which I’m actually really sad about, because I was just getting into it. Between class nerfs, chest price increases, and extra level to enemies I just spent 10 minutes of a helltide getting about 7 cinders from mostly normal mobs. (They didn’t say so in the patch but it seems like the cinders drop rate is lower now too). “Risk-reward” is one thing, but if there’s no actual reward then it’s not worth doing.
That’s if you can survive long enough to spend them. My Druid was finnaly starting to feel good. Now I can’t even stay alive in the helltide.
