Please tell me that end game isn't just farming accursed ritual sites in helltides

[Klaus Schwab]

Just a plethora of AFK players spinning around using a macro to kill the boss over and over..

Is this how far we've got since release ?

Oh, no, it's definitely not. End game is doing pit runs to get mats for masterworking, and tormented boss runs for Uber uniques. Blood maiden is mainly for leveling, or i guess could be used to farm legendaries. I wish I would run into those people who can instantly kill blood maiden more often when I'm leveling so I can leech.

The end game is realizing that all your stats don't matter because eventually the endgame gets to a point where all the rewards for all those things he mentioned have no value. The only actual boss that can kill you is uber lilith which will kill you just as fast whether you have the best gear or have typical lvl 100 gear. All the other bosses become common white fodder that you walk up to and erase while the only actual enemy left in the game that requires you to play is Uber Lilith who will 1 tap you even if you borrowed gear from God's account.

Well, it's not exactly true, you can tank Uber Lilith attacks if you have enough health!
Rob2628 did it with 60K health in S3 with uber gear, in S4 he has 500K health on his barb, I guess with 500K health Uber Lilith is a peace of cake like any other boss in the game!

P.S.
Bash Barb is really strong in S4, I managed to clear WT4 capstone dungeon while still being Lv.51 barb! (I died only once) And I had like 7K health only, that's crazy! And I think with 400K of health (500K under potion) you can even risk killing Uber Lilith with your Hardcore character!!

This
And
DUMBEST ever The Pit runs - just your typical dungeon with way beefy monsters inside, which you will kill for minutes each pack (no joke - watch any YT video)
This fo mats on upgrading your gear

And that's it

Nothing else!

80 bucks game with 80 bucks DLC!

[LOL]

And they feel like you owe them even more money for the one new class that took years to finish because they focused all the development time on cash shop items and battlepasses.

D2 expansion gave TWO characters and it was only $35... WITH NO CASH SHOP. This company has become deranged money grubbing fanatics.

There is no upgrade gear found from level 80'ish on.... everything after that is just endlessly grinding the same boring few pit instances to increase some stats on your grear.

As far as gear quality is concerned it doesn't even matter if you do pit 1 or pit 150... Same crappy gear...

[LOL]

Plus the endgame boss 1 hits you on 80 gear and 100 gear just the same, unless you rolled barb apparently.

No.

It's more about Blood Maiden being a source of lots and lots of bits of loot as well as the current Season mechanic involving Iron Wolves faction grinding.

It's also the absolute best way to gather Shards for Helltide Chests due to the number of mob spawns.

The more hits at the loot table, the more chances for a good RNG drop. And, grinding out Iron Wolves faction, over multiple characters, is the fast-track to crafting a desired Uber Unique.

I do agree it's a bit worrying for the overall health of the item-hunt game. BUT, I think it can be balanced out a bit with additional Seasons and some different gameplay loops. For "Eternal" though, it could be an issue in the long-term due to how big the payoff can be with all those loot drops and the RNG that must happen... They'll probably nerf some drop rates.

Bout time he got banned, tbh. Was getting annoying seeing 5 posts from him in every single thread crying about not liking a video game.

His reasons are valid though

Of course. Anyone's reasons for not liking a game are valid.
