Currently we are capped at 92 gems and once that is reached you can no longer obtain more. This limitation makes it so that we can no longer freely experiment with gem combination and choices, and its very limiting. It would be better if there wasn't a gem cap on number can obtain or at least expand the number of gems you can have to be much greater. As a result you could instead just make it so that there is only a cap on number of power you can equip, if maintaining player balance was a concern.

not to mention that gems are not account wide, making the grind to leveling an alt very tedious and time consuming. Not ideal for a game that is planned to be seasonal.

the limit is really not needed but grinding on dif chars for their equip is not a bad thing. i play since EA and have 3 chars in eternal with at least 4-6 35% sockets and all legendarys, so ... maybe i just have REALLY REALLY REAALLY big luck, or most of the writings here calling "120hours of play without a legendary" (or posts like that) are just nonesense.

I agree that grinding in of itself isnt bad, thats the point of a game like this. It just needs to be fixed so that we dont just grind Tuzari 2 or Sailors 10 on repeat.

is it really true that we can't get more gems after we loot 92 small ones?

toxic creek
#

if you intend to go on 0.1% title .. expect to farm often and heavy if not .. just have fun?

#

I want to farm, but not trivial content

#

I want rewards to scale with difficulty

toxic creek
#

u can farm your highest level available ... no ?? gives better loot anyway

primal fable
#

So i get rewarded for pushing the content i enjoy the most

primal fable
toxic creek
#

that was adressed in the latest patches ..

primal fable
#

There is no noticeable difference in drops between Eternal 1 and Eternal 40. Even the increased empowered gemsocket droprate is barely noticeable, if at all.

toxic creek
#

triplle chance for 35% items on 10, 5times on +20 ...

primal fable
#

Most of my empowered gem socket items came from rerolls

primal fable
#

Loot drops should continuously improve even at higher levels

#

And it should be noticeable

#

Right now its neither

toxic creek
#

and really, show me any other game where to max out your gear you wouldnt go for the lowest possible giving the highest possible

primal fable
#

Wow? If you want BiS, you have to raid mythic

toxic creek
#

its always same, efficient farming is done on things that are boring

primal fable
#

Best gear is locked behind hardest content

primal fable
#

And i dont even want to lock BiS behind high eternal, im fine if people can get it without pushing super high

toxic creek
#

i'v not raided mythic and am full mythic tier equipped dude

primal fable
#

But one should be rewarded for completing a high key

primal fable
#

Right now, if 2 people play the same amount of hours, one always clearing the highest eternal he can, the other spam farming tuzari or sailors in low eternal, guess which one will hit BiS first

#

And its not even close

toxic creek
#

even if you had a 30% dropchance on +30++ people would farm tuzari cuz of affix and speed lol (and most dont even use the affix to speed up is more disguting)

primal fable
#

Exactly

#

So buff the drop rate

#

Until its most efficient to clear the highest one

toxic creek
#

so like 100% dropchance on a selectable 35% socket item that what u want right? for 40+ clears i think cuz thats your number ... what about the players that can barely do 20th?

primal fable
#

No?

#

What is this hyperbolism?

toxic creek
#

im asking where does your dropchance buff ends

#

30+ dungeons are done for fun and prestige not for loot

primal fable
#

It doesnt have to imo. Someone who reaches say eternal 40 or 50 shouldnt have to worry about drop chances anymore

primal fable
toxic creek
#

they announced cosmetic rewards for this afaik

primal fable
#

That doesnt fix gear progression for us leaderboard pushers though
