the mechanic is pure trash, if they include act 6 I actually dont mind spam it for couple week. but making me spam 1 og act for 1 harold spawn is bullshit, this mechanic gotta go. make the shard target entire act for 1 hours including new game I might consider it.


ngl i agree
too fucken old to grind 4 hour blocks for some shit

Silent is a cool old man, he would give me 10k fg if I asked really nicely.

I appreciate that they tried to enact a mechanism to promote games longer than 2 minutes-> save & exit. But it definitely went too far.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if they released some sort of thing where you combine standard of heroes + a rune + torch/anni and it opens up some randomly generated dungeon like that crap from diablo 3..

It’s just a bad mechanic for 30+ year old dads that can’t grind for hours on end, otherwise it’s fine — but the drop chance is what is actually garbage and ruins it.

hell no, if I could target farm 1 specific area like chaos I'll do it. but entire act no thank you. I just did a act 1 full clear, took me 1 hour and I got a whopping 1 harold spawn lol. both latent sunder and this shard system needs a complete overhalt


if it takes you longer than 20 mins max to clear a1, this is a skill issue
