Bug? ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss loot?

[Nightrunner]

I have spent HOURS(!) on the Riven Twins and after 50+ attempts I finally downed this boss, only to get a reward of a Scimtar. Grey item. Basically I got rewarded with trash loot. This feels so utterly demotivating I want to uninstall this ♥♥♥♥ right now. I'm watching YouTubers who did this boss with their amazing Orange/Legendary item from Warwick, and likewise from him I got trash. Is this a realm bug or is loot in general just garbage? Is constant upgrading the only way to get decent weapons? Highly, highly dissapointed with this. So much effort for FA reward.

i think its just rng, i beat the boss today and got legendary bow which is unusable by my character so i basically got 2 silvers when i sold it.

The game combat mechanics are very frustrating at times, but it's actually not very difficult. I understand where you're coming from, but the weapons are random drops.

The yellow (epic, legendary, rare, whatever they want to call them) I think only drop from certain enemies/bosses. I've seen the sword drop from the first boss about 7 times, and I got a mace from 2 pirate guys on the starting beach (which I still use).

That last boss probably drops something nice too, but that means having to complete the story multiple times to get it or find out.

It's like they want it to be an ARPG loot game, but without enough enemies for loot to drop at the same rate, whilst maintaining a similar drop rate.

Which means that you get 1 good item for every 100 you might get in another game etc...

I don't think it's really a problem at the moment though, because the loot and upgrade system is currently very basic.

it just feels very unrewarding. I did this boss at level 10 and it was just like 'one screw up and I'm dead' all to get a grey scimtar that was for like level 21 or something. I know that this is a divergence from the Diablo type games, but in those you can at least re-do the boss once it spawns again, whereas here I dont think bosses respawn do they? So its like you're unlucky, tough. I dont mind being unlucky if I get to farm it like a raid, but when there is one shot and its so testing, you really need more than trash as your reward. Seriously.

in addition the quest is like "oh well, that didn't work, you better go back to town" What the absolute ****.

You can spawn as many Realms as you want, to kill the bosses again. They won't respawn in any realm, but each realm is a blank slate, and the bosses appear to be fixed difficulty (where as trash scales to your level).

It's also a great way to unlock everything with Ichor. Just keep running the first boss and first 2 bounties until you have everything unlocked.

You just unlocked crucible you can farm the last boss infinitely.

You are meant to farm bosses and mobs to get all the items in their loot pool. If this is your first time with this type of game. I fought the first boss 20 times to see what was in the loot pool.

You don't get every great item on your first attempt, so when you do get a good item it is exciting.

When you unlock crucible, your character is still too weak to enter the dungeon. You need to be at least lvl 21.
