They ruined it a few updates ago, when there removed some fun boons and the Belakor area is not great.

There was a bug that made certain finales bug out and get stuck, and Chaos Wastes got hit the hardest. The bug was hotfixed this morning but I'm guessing that people have been avoiding CW for a couple of days because of that.

Also, the Geheimnisnacht event requires playing non-Chaos Wastes maps so maybe people are still doing that.

Personally, I've been trying Necromancer out in normal maps to get a feel for her, now that I'm more comfortable playing her I wanna start taking a look at Chaos Wastes and see what crazy ♥♥♥♥ she can get up to. It's easier to appreciate craziness when you have a good bead on what her 'normal' feels like.

I just personally don’t like how long the games last. Not that thats a bad thing, but I try to limit my games to quick bite sized chunks of playtime nowadays. So maybe 2-4 25 minute runs, and then log off.

FS fixing stuff that wasnt broke in the first place. Khorne infinite horde is gone, Voting now matters instead of being chaotic. Boons mostly just suck now, boring, not fun. And you somehow always get the wrong boons for your character of choice??? like how is everytime im not playing ranger veteran i get all the invis boons but when i play him i never get them?!

Geheimnisnacht
and Necro achievements to play all maps

Long games where people break the game's balancing. It's not as bad as it was, but it's certainly still exploitable.

Chaos Wastes was only ever fun at the start imo. Personally nothing is more annoying and cringe than doing a Chaos Wastes run, wasting an absurd amount of time, and then losing at the final 2 missions because something just unfortunate happens like a disgusting amount of specials spawning on top of a hoard and a minotaur that has shielding, regeneration, and ignores block.

Its just such a time sink imo. While I don't really need rewards anymore as I have many reds I'd still like to have more reds so getting no loot on a loss feels awful to me, especially when the loss doesn't feel justified. Giga tank minotaurs or chaos spawns that can ignore block just feel unreasonably impossible unless you have a god run and your team comp can nuke it before it gets close which isn't always possible as the bosses can roll being immune to ranged damage lol.

Its still fun but they made some questionable changes.
Its been bugged for a bit now so thats the number one issue. Nothing like the game locking up because spawns are goofed.

People finally realized it wasn't that good, after the honeymoon phase.

I quickly realized it was sub-par, back at release. I have no idea what part of it people thought was fun, because it draws very little similarity from the core game, and mostly adds dumb stuff.

I figure it was just "it's new, therefore I love it" type of behavior. You can find these kinds of people all over. They'll advocate new things, even if they suck compared to the original source material. Nothing new.

I figure I just have "I dont like it so therefore nobody should" type of behavior. You can find these kinds of people all over. They'll crap on new things, even if they are perfectly fine compared to the original source material. Nothing new.

Fixed it for you. Since you want to act like your opinion is all that matters.

OH!
BTW as YOU said its had the same size playerbase as core since release and only just fell off because of the spawn bug.
Ok byeeeee

I still enjoy it quite a bit. I like the randomness of it. You can grind out The Screaming Bell 50 times, and there will be small differences in where patrols are, etc., but for the most part it's going to be the same run over and over. Chaos Wastes changes that up. Every run, your weapons are different, your abilities are different, which maps you play are different. Even within the maps, the locations of pick-ups and altars change (contrast with Tomes and Grims which are always in the same spot). No two runs are ever the same. Maybe you can't get the super-OP combinations anymore, but I don't think that ruined the mode.

I've also found it's a great way for newer players to get into the game. You only have white and green weapons? Well, in the first stage, so do we all. And by the final stages, you'll have red/orange weapons just like everyone else. They don't have a full set of talents, but all the boons they'll pick up along the way help close the gap.

I still play it and still host Cata for it, people usually join my games within a quick manner when I host; I've just been focused on finishing other challenges, like grind to 120 weaves, Helmgert Cata challenges, and other things related to Cousin Okri's book. Once I finish those I'm going back to playing Chaos Wastes - it's my favorite mode in the game.

Top tier boons were turned into weapon modifiers, ensuring that you only see them a few times per year instead of a few tiems per week.

Respawn points are really bad and should be reverted to when chaos wastes was launched.
