Blessings system

[SpiralRazor]

Is extremely clunky and poorly implemented.

How did you guys not find this during the games long EA and QA phase?

Its just a TON of unnecessary busy work.

The way it SHOULD work: Player discovers X number of blessings at a certain roll within the range. Such blessings are added to your character inventory. You can freely slot any of those blessings for that particular timeline at any time between runs. If the player completes a timeline and gets a particular blessing with a higher roll, that blessing is updated into the players inventory.

The way it is currently working is nonsense and doesnt respect the players time.

Totally agree

Change everything so you dont have to play the game...
Nerf every boss so they cant kill you..
bla bla bla..
That seems to be every post around here..

I think the drop rate blessings should just be replaced, they really make the early monos just not worth farming at all

[Kmany]

So what is there left to grind for if every grind goal is practically given for free?
The blessings are just an extra fun part of killing a boss over and over while trying to achieve other things in the game..
People are also here complaining that LP items are too hard to obtain lol.. after they have only played the game for a few weeks.
the systems in the game are good.. they just need to work on bug fixes and more content.

Dont be a "yes man", my dude. Dont you wanna see LE get better? Obviously the current blessings are outdated especially now we will have Seasons. Pair this with the current corruption farming and prophecies. Its tedious.. Now imagine if you would make another character, gonna do all that blessing grind together with the corruption climb. Im on my 5th char, already feeling the burnout.

I have several level 100 characters and maybe 10-15 more in the level 90s..
Yes i want to see the game get better.. not worse.. that is why these threads annoy me.
The devs have done a great job so far.

I can only assume that you have poor critical thinking skills. Or perhaps you can indeed spend an inordinate amount of time on game systems that dont make any rational sense.

It is just a filler system to hold players in the game longer because there really is no variety in endgame.
And the power some blessings give are being more than top gear is certainly intended to push the player to the grind.
Remove blessings in the current endgame right now and there is very little left for players to chase.

Did you actually read and comprehend what i wrote? No one said anything about removing the system entirely. The system is overly fiddly and dated as implemented. Its only going to get worse as more end game content is added over the coming year. The 4LP unique/exalt system is grindy enough as is to keep people in the game for the foreseeable future.

I am quite interested to see what they come up with for end game, and end, end game for the most hardcore.

I may not have several lvl 100 characters as I wasnt in EA, but from the day it went live to the time i stopped playing, I logged about 8k hours on D3....went through the entire ancient uniques and Kunai system on every class.

Everytime i hear the line 'respects your time' i think of the part time streamer Stoopz who said that Lost Ark is a game that respects your time

I'll never forget the day he said that

Well...it was...very early on. Then it just got progressively worse and worse and even with the most ardent sunk cost fallacy fixation going on, i just couldnt justify keeping it installed. Tier 3 and 4 were just such awful, awful slogs that War Thunder grind looks tame by comparison.

FYI, there are now guides in 2024 schooling players on how not to be Gatekept from raids by improving the looks of their character lol. No sir, not what i signed up for.

Plus, the US version was completely gimped...I wanted to play the tech character and i still dont think they have it for US version.

Welcome to official game forums. Everyone advocates for their own in-game interests and very few have the overall game in mind.

This thread isn't even that bad though what gets me is everyone who wants to remove any grind or delayed gratification out of every game, they want to skip things, they want things they don't like to be optional, they want any reason to keep playing a game to be stomped into the ground so that they can complain the game has no content and quit in a week. Story as old as time.

Before defending current system, try changing builds on a character, I did and it took me over 100 boss kills or 1000+ echoes to reroll new blessings. While I am not against the grind, now if I want to go back and try different build it would take me another 100 boss kills, and then to go back yet again it is 100+ more.

I am cba to try and experiment with builds only because blessings system are flawed, and btw I am not against the grind and I do think killing 100 bosses to get good rolls on blessing is worth it, but I think chosen blessings should be recorded and should be possible to swap.
