You need the shards not only to upgrade them but also to farm them. Why would you terrorize whole acts if you could just leave and rejoin any current tz? To run cows tz one time? That contradicts the whole purpose of shards. Imo the best thing they added to this game since lod


theres no reason to make a single mat do both... design flaw.

hour long tzones like before was just fine. the old system just needed the zones themselves to get updated since lod had too many bad tzones.

its stupid how finding the lesser latent version is the hard part, and crafting a the renewed version which is a million times stronger takes mats which are cheap as shit.

finding the mats to craft a renewed should be alot harder, and finding a latent should come sooner. spend more time farming with the ability to get through enemies with your desired build, then work with a junk sunder to find gear with pierce and also farm
the mats for the renewed version. the way it is now, players will essentially be crafting renewed versions as soon as a latent drops... which is dumb.


this is a very nice idea

correct, point is, what blizzard did is a shitty system. they could of used heralds to drop the mats for uber ancients, since act bosses drop token dust anyway.

and if the shards terrorize an entire act, and is the best way to farm heralds, why tzone a random area for 30mins to begin with?

Would be a very reasonable and much better option here.

really makes me wonder how much influence lama really had, since it feels like this was implemented by someone who has not put hours into farming this game.

I think they thought through this more than you did. Sunders are way more powerful than shakos, yet you want the same drop chances

would be a shako that has a 1 in 5 chance at rolling the element you need. but ok, something harder to find than a shako, but not from heralds.

the issue is youre re-creating the problem sunders attempted to solve in the first place.
javazon/light sorc/hdin are basically the only s-tier builds now pre-sunder.

i appreciate blizzard adding content, but this addition feels off for character progression.

I still disagree with everyone disagreeing with me. It should stay very rare and hard to farm. 10-15 heralds a game is good. Them eventually killing you is good.


I agree with you bro. People need a dopamine rush and aren’t getting it so they cry online
