Nah, the mats were cool (great back stories and graphics ) but they were a pita to farm - glad they got rid of them

the last couple of days I've done mat farming and have picked up a few, I think to copa's comment in game last night it can be quite tedious looking for mats (I know he was referring more to looking for a RRoG, but same kinda concept), but taking them out of the game altogether? It's totally removed an entire aspect of the game, right now I'm ambivalent about it, however maybe now I'll put more effort into crafting seeing as the need for rare mats has been removed

Well their concern is excessive game flipping, so this will address that. You're gonna need lots of souls and deaths breaths...

Yep thats how I understood it and that takes the fun factor out of the game. However the communities made it easier to get crafting mats.

I think that's the point - I stopped crafting cos the mats were just too hard to find - I now have incentive to try and roll great non set items for specific slots

picked up 3 legs off that last insane rift, got a set of level 61 shoulders that flashed all green at the bottom, I was like :wtf:

after you left I thought some more and decided to take a chance with Maryam, second roll on those bracers she gave me 15% more lightning damage, second roll on the shield she gave me an additional 100 strength

with Akarat's champion I'm dropping Heaven's Fury almost at a rate of 3:1 compared to what I had :D

The reason they removed the mats is this:

- They want ppl just play the game and craft items & sets to help them do better while the nice class set drops etc. Drop rates of these mats on low levels sux big time & takes ages to farm. Not everyone can go and farm them on T5/6 where its decent or even knows about the community.

- They want to tone down on this massive amount of ppl starting & leaving games just to find the right bounty etc.

Cool.

Which slot did you replace on the bracer

I would have preferred if they were a general drop from purples, with goblins dropping loads of them.

On the plus side, going to have extra stash space now.

Saw a dual goblin last night, two in one area.

Have come across an area before (in the Dahlgur Oasis I think) where you encounter about 6 of them, but they all scatter in different directions. That's a mission trying to track them all down, especially on higher T levels.

Yeah the goblin packs are now a well known occurrence, but this was just two in my case, odd

I've killed a pack of 11 on T5 with my WD. Entered a room with all my minions and there they where. Cornered 9 of them and hunted the other 2 that managed to slip through. Very exciting, only 1 leg :(

BTW Sold my mats. Made 5 mil

The gob packs are hard to take down in open maps like Dahlgur. When u hit them in a cave or the cathedral they are smashed to pieces
