This is just my thoughts

I don't particularly like that now with the introduction of heralds (which I enjoy hunting btw) and terrorized zones, certain items that could previously only been found in just high level zones now can be dropped anywhere terrorized. Idk, it might be just be me but I have looted a way bigger variaty of items then any other season I've played and I'm not a fan of it.

I havnt really checked the sunders drop rate figures and I've killed probably close to 100 (Mostly in p1-p2) and only gotten 1 sunder (poison ofc 5/5 :cry:) , I do like that they seem to be a very rare drop. It build excitement to finding one!

Third, about the ancient jewels. Well, I find with how it currently now works with terrorized zones these jewels are quite easy to obtain. I would like to see a change and if it were up to me boss zones can't be globally terrorized but only through using shards. I also would like the shard drop rate to be lowered as I find them way too easy to obtain. I terrorized act1 once and got from it 5 new shards from it!

Aswell with boss zones being globally terrorized, it makes easy farmable bosses such as meph / andy one of the reasons to why I found a way bigger variaty of items from any previous season, and items not found by me previously found!

I like that the shards are easy enough to get. Means there is little risk to leaving a game if you haveh not cleared it.

And if shards are hard to get, it ll be hard af to Tz an act and therefore no Harold’s.

The worst thing is the separate sunder from LoD.
These should be removed entirely or added into RotW, but with nerfed drops rates for both RotW and LoD but still more common then the new sunders, these should stay as is.

People pulling items over from LoD that can’t drop I. RotW is cancer

As much as I get your point I don't share your opinion that these shards should be like out of an adults bag of candy. Atleast imo it should hurt abit leaving a terrorized act unfinished. I get it though, I'm not speaking of massive lowering of the drop rate but Ive found I can maintain just playing terrorized acts and I will have a constant new supply of shards.

For me the worst part by far is the possible conversion from LoD to RotW ladder, this is just wrong. Ladder should be a fresh start and separated from LoD to RotW. Sunder drops were a bit overtuned. It is almost impossible to find it playing alone. I like it being rare, but this is too much.

It may be my impression, but im noticing a much lower quantity of clear botters selling items, i may be wrong, may be bias, but i just dont see those huge 20jah 40 ber posts maybe its too early to tell.

I don’t expect this to last long. They will probably be back by the next season.

You'll be happy once you find it though! :) Just hope you get something better than my -5 poison...

Been refreshing agree! Not sure blizzard will be able to keep bots away, certainly a higher risk with the higher cost of purchasing the game atleast!
