To me personally the new lr is way more engaging and fun however the mythic inflation is INSANE now. Hopefully it’s not so bad in fruma

i was considering making my own thread about this issue but the moderators dont want me making another thread.

I wholeheartedly agree with the constructive feedback post. The old lootrun system should be restored and bring back some much needed love to this server

Especially on areas of the game he doesn't care about

Best example: guilds

as someone who found 2 mythics in 24 hours using morph in the old LR system;

the new one is much better

To address some of the points raised:

  1. The old system hasn't been completely ripped out. Caves and hidden out-of-the-way chests still exist, and you can access these without starting a lootrun challenge. In fact, I'd argue that the new system also improved the old mechanics by more easily showing the expected Loot Quality in a cave.

  2. The old lootrun system wasn't any more or less complex than the new one. Before, you had to consider loot quality and loot bonus and balance that out with having enough sustain and (especially if you poked around in SE) damage. You basically had to engage with the very complex custom crafting mechanics. The new lootrun system replaces most of that with the mechanics regarding beacons, missions, and their interactions.

  3. While the increasing difficulty of challenges may discourage long runs for the casual gamer, short runs aren't necessarily bad, either. AFAIK, the pulls-per-minute between runs below 20 challenges and runs above aren't too dissimilar.

  4. Again, the old lootrun system had its own unique pressures: namely, the rush to camp or reserve a world before its chests are looted by someone else. I much prefer the new system in this regard because it removed negative competition.

  5. Unpredictability is good so that things don't go stale and boring. Missions, in particular, introduce a good amount of variability because what missions you get will most likely modify the beacons you take. Furthermore, the old system had its own unpredicitability. You could have the best LB/LQ gear and still not get mythics due to bad luck.

  1. Subverting expectations was a great quality of the old system, a surprise is what we're all here for.

  2. Unlike new lootrun mechanics those old ones had basis in the game in a general sense, beacons and such are entirely new and unrelated to the rest of the game in any way.
    Also the balancing of loot quality and loot bonus ends up not mattering much beyond getting some simple goals to aim for.

  3. Discouraging long runs in any way and giving them rewards that aren't much better is simply terrible design, I suggest that short runs have abysmal rates instead to compensate for this error.

  4. The competition wasn't negative if everyone was being mature about it, and it was almost at the point where everyone was indeed being mature about it.

  5. You said earlier you can have an expectation of the results, regardless the variety with beacons is entirely negative since there's always an optimal strategy.

Bro if you have so many problems make another thread for them

crystal dome

it got closed last time i tried ok maybe i went too insane but uh

raw gulch
#

constructive feedback forum is not for bug reports anyway

crystal dome
#

my ass is not opening a forum account

#

why isnt there a bug report feature in discord anyway

raw gulch
#

brought it up, devs are pretty busy atm though so idk if anything will be done

mortal edge
crystal dome
#

honestly i wouldnt mind rollback on 2.04

#

like it isnt that great the older system was just as good and a lot more intuitive

winged falcon
#

Idk where u got that from

crystal dome
#

this is definetly not happening though lol but we can dream

raw gulch
#

as for your other issues:

  • fire sucks: not my problem i am not an IM
  • tna animation fall dmg + greg hard damage disabling paladin: i could fix this but i am not in charge of tna so i dont want to break anything
  • guilds suck: i do not hold the capability to fix guilds because i am not a developer
crystal dome
#

the guilds one was just a joke i dont think guilds suck

gleaming owl

#

fruma!!

except that ppl can cancel tributes no matter rank in guild thats a stupid bug it should be strategist that needs fixing

what is he yapping about

raw gulch
#

is this thread really not a shitpost

crystal dome
lean acorn
#

it doesnt look like one to me

mortal edge
# crystal dome what is he yapping about

Basically in the old LR system if we had 500 players but only 50 open worlds, then if those 500 players want to lootrun only 50 would be able to (unless the rest want to snipe).

The new LR system allows all of those 500 to do runs without tripping over each other.

raw gulch
#

youre requesting that we remove an entire system and bring back the shitty old one lol

gleaming owl
#

Honestly they put so much work into awesome end game content like the corrupted ice barrows dungeons. Remove loot runs altogether and make a 15 min chest cool-down per chest opened! It will make people appreciate dungeons and raids even more !

chilly monolith

just lootrun caves instead of doing silverbull lootrunning 🤯🤯

no, i switched to hero idol cuz zzzzzz

don't shame people for the builds they use to lootrun (i use abso, totally unrelated)

its talking about the old old old system seeing as they’re bringing up stuff like the timer

@lean acorn ur missing this gold

lean acorn
#

i havent played this game in 2 years do u think i know wtf a mission is

mortal edge
#

look, abso isn't terrible if you just do short runs and take +damage or +weaken boons

#

you're also basically unkillable and can afk the protect objective challenges

crystal dome
#

ok but it still just objectively shit (me when base dps makes or breaks weapon viabiaty)

lean acorn
#

I do agree with this post based on what ive seen about the lootrun update from several discordian streams

gleaming owl

discordian strea,s yes yes

Bring back the old system and ocean unleveleds

#

oh lmao I'm crazy i'm sorry. absolutely delusional

arctic surge
#

tbh this whole post can also be solved by reverting the chest refill system

#

but that also isn't the best idea since people wanted player specific chests for ages

crystal dome
#

whats play spesific

arctic surge
#

er

mortal edge
#

client side chests?

arctic surge
#

didn't want to call them client side since they aren't really

crystal dome
#

cant you jsut change the chest refill system without touching that spesific important part of it

chilly monolith
# raw gulch are there any other places where people would like to see geysers

the only 2 places i could see benefitting from geysers would be the dragon mouth cave (Tealy already said no to that one, which is fair cause it's honestly kinda ok without) and a geyser to the top of frozen heights since it's slightly annoying to get to if you have low ws and horizontal movement spell (warrior)

crystal dome
raw gulch
#

dragon delta is kinda a weird one cause the dragon mouth is over the path into mh so adding a geyser in the middle of the path would fuck with people coming into mh

Running around with 200 % lb and 60% lq doesn’t feel even close to as “nice” as it use to be and because combat is so fucked with curses and stuff you can’t really use LB and LQ sets like you use to.

It’s a terrible system imo

mortal edge
#

why so? srs question

crystal dome
vagrant frost
#

In its current state, it’s extremely boring and the “cool” stuff is locked behind so much rng it lead to extreme burnout for me

gleaming owl
# arctic surge Then don't do it in a lootrun camp

Not a fair argument is it? Mythic prices have completely crashed and thus old loot running has been nerfed into hell. I’m not saying old system or lack there of should return but saying. “Just do it like we used to” isn’t dismissing his point.

crystal dome
#

mythic prices will never return to pre 2.03 anyway

mortal edge
crystal dome
#

its not about the amount of mythics at this point

bleak tiger

And like 5 of them are shit and don’t matter

Nerd reacting cuz you know hes right

ok

'mythic prices will never return to pre 2.03 anyway' is not a very constructive way of approaching an issue

Prices would slowly return to old prices apki.

Op just wanted overworld chests to not be ass. If you actually read some of the points he’s trying to make he doesn’t want to delete 2.03 lootrunning changes he also just want to option to lring like how it previously was and I agree

#

I agree with his points lootrun camps is a very “active” way to play to where previously it was a fair bit more chill. I miss being brainless opening chests but it doesn’t feel worth it now, even with a 3+ week timer on chests

To the best of my understanding tldr overworld chests nerf was so drastic it doesn’t feel worth the try to lr like it was previously to 2.03. I think client side chests are a change for the better just the extreme nerf to them makes them pointless imo. Op missed the brainless relaxing chest open simulator and I agree. Sometimes I just wanna watch Netflix and follow old lr paths but it’s not worth the waste of 30min-hour even with massive wait timers

#

Nothing seems to be of any value to you if it doesn't align with your viewpoint and what you're already working towards, I agree with deleting the channel due to that.

vagrant frost
#

This type of mentality creates echo chambers that creates stuff like the current garbage mission system. If y’all would actually take the negative feedback into consideration you wouldn’t be in these positions. Everything from mythics being too common, to world chests not being up to par. Imo the entire new system has so many flaws because of these echo chambers, it wouldn’t take months for these things to change if your reactions weren’t instantly extremely defensive

twilit sentinel
#

missions arent flaws they just dont fit with how you want to play the game

vagrant frost
#

Missions are flawed as hell

twilit sentinel
#

what makes you think so?

royal lichen
#

missions are cool there should just be more, overworld chests are fine I dunno what youre on about with those I recently played through the game again on a new class and it was really not bad, mythic rates have already been reduced but it wont fix the economy anytime soon

twilit sentinel
#

i wouldnt be against mythic rates being reduced even more ngl

royal lichen
#

I also think most people prefer the new system over the old

vagrant frost
#

There are 12, 5 of them are boring/usless. You are battling between effective pulls and power in the lr making pull ultimately the better choice. The rng involved is trash and leads to weird things like greys caping at 30. There are so many different reasons I have for who fucked the mission system is but overall it’s just fucking boring

spiral totem
#

weak mission point but the lootrun update yielding too many mythics was said over and over during beta

vagrant frost
#

The point is Ct doesn’t listen when desperately needed cause of overly defensive responses

#

Imo

spiral totem
#

i dont think the ct here gets to call that many shots

vagrant frost
#

I stand by missions in there current iteration are bad

#

They are still effectively the “best” commutation from player to developer

#

If developers or even salted would just be more open with the community CT wouldn’t have so much pressure but that’s a different topic

twilit sentinel
#

I agree that some missions are certainly underpowered compared to others and a larger variety would be nice but more useful feedback would probably be suggesting more missions / changes to existing missions rather than just saying get rid of them completely.

vagrant frost
#

My opinion is get rid of this trash system until you have something more than a half baked easy bake oven. I enjoyed 2.03 MUCH MORE than current missions

twilit sentinel
#

so maybe with stasis (which is meant to help with time management) but is currently not very useful at all it could be changed to buff green beacons for the rest of the run or something

vagrant frost
#

I think majority of that players will think of solution will only be bandaid solutions. Ultimately the mission update made lring even more rogue like and as a “rougue like game” lring can not stand on it own at all. If you aren’t lring for specific items in my opinion it’s not fun at all. Thus it’s fundamentally failing at what ever “system” is trying to be created

#

The “game loop” of lootrunning when from “relaxing” to semi stressful time management mixed with multi pathing and dianmic power scaling that is supposed to change from run to run without fundamentally change the power scaling of enemies. It’s just to many flaws stacked into each other with weird bandaid solutions like equalibrium

#

Idk it’s just not it for me. Compared to any other rogue like I enjoy playing. I can’t bring myself to enjoy lring anymore. It “doesn’t feel fun to start”

twilit sentinel
#

Imo lootrunning being less braindead makes it more fun for me, but then I normally only lootrun if there are mythics i want from the reward chest

#

pretty sure we just have different perspectives on what makes lootrunning fun ¯_(ツ)_/¯

vagrant frost
#

This is the main problem people related getting the mythic they want to the enjoyment of lring. Once I’ve collected every mythic lootrunning now is the worst chore in the world

twilit sentinel
#

shiny mythics?

vagrant frost
#

I want to want to lootrun even if I don’t have an desired items in the loot pool

#

Shiny mythics are a fucking joke imo. They NEED custom skins imo

#

Shiny mythics are such a FLOP imo

twilit sentinel
#

there is definitely stuff they could do to make them cooler but thats a whole different topic

vagrant frost
#

Agreed

#

Ultimately these conversations only prove to me more and more how half baked the lr update really was. There are so many flaws that actually beta testing would buff out but because WYNN is fixated on hero beta even though it’s a trash system that limits beta testing to about .05% of the actually player base, then they take months to adjust things once it reaches the actual game since they are scared of the effects of fast changes. There are so many flaws with how Wynn creates and balances contents I could yap for a month about this. I’m just vastly disappointed by missions and how BORING THEYVE BEEN FOR MONTHS NOW. Like is I see one more redemption/higherroller taking 2/3 of my first mission again I’m going to break my desk. Who the fuck thought it is a great idea to have only 4 missions slots and to waste 1 99% of the time on this boring ass mission

#

It genuinely makes me mad

#

I can’t even describe how trash a decision it was to make missions limit 4 and have a challange cap of 100. There are so many things I think are so fucking dumb

#

“Unlimited greens and reds” reduced max challange cap by around 50-60 challanges

#

It’s just so many fucking dumb ass choices like that I don’t understand that ruin a potentially good system

#

Again I think none of this will actually be given any thought cause I didn’t put it in sunshine and rainbow terms for CT so 🫠

spiral totem
#

nah you forgot the constructive part

royal lichen
#

allat doesnt matter because nowadays more people engage with the lootrunning system than before so it was a success for them

vagrant frost
#

How do we even have the numbers for it?

#

Again from my understanding 2.03 lootrunning was much more popular that whatever the current population of lrs rn

spiral totem
#

2.03 lootrunning was most people getting 50 effective pulls coz they didnt know how to metagame with aqua. this is far more approachable, which would probably mean more people doing it

vagrant frost
#

Really? I guess being on the other end where I understood beacon spawn mechanics made 2.03 much more enjoyable for me personally

#

It’s like I feel the exact opposite. Now the shitty missions system feels way more unapproachable because of unnecessarily rng and annoying mechanics that takes control away from the player more and more

#

The only “bad” thing about 2.03 was 10 reroll meta was a lot. I personally have no problems with the reduction to rerolls it just I DO NOT enjoy almost any way to get 100/100 300 pull runs

#

Equalib is flawed (to much to say) cleanse is slow and boring. I miss the power spike of +50 curses. Having +18 now is just kinda lame and meh. I hate how beacon colors matter even less now. Idk

#

Oranges are pretty flawed with spawn mechanics soft locking you into the same aqua choices until your Orange runs out

twilit sentinel
#

Only beacon that gets locked is green right?

vagrant frost
#

And red

twilit sentinel
#

cos thats the only other one that you cant get twice in a row

vagrant frost
#

Red green and aqua all have weird spawn mechanics that make it annoying to max out oranges

#

To me the QoL of Lr only decreases with each updated added

#

I’m not even going to go in depth on the barrior hell that they made lring for a few months

#

OR THE FACT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BEGGING TO MAKE CAMPS BIGGER AND THEY JUST MAKE THEM SMALLER AND SMALLER

#

who the fuck thought that’s was a good choice. Imo it makes archer completely unplayable

#

There are so many flaws to lring imo

twilit sentinel
#

maybe if you suggest actual specific changes e.g. allow green and red beacons to appear twice in a row (possibly with a nerf to make up for them being mroe common) to stop orange beacons softlocking your beacon choices.
rather than just suggesting they revert the whole update as that is clearly never going to happen

vagrant frost
#

Mission idea thread

#

I’m too lazy to find the @. I do more than just complain

#

But WYNN rarely listens anyways

#

I just find no one actually talks about these issues then we have something like forgery that gets SO OUTDATED no one will touch it even when it desperately needs it

#

Cough cough 2nd room tcc is still a buggy mess after years of bug reports being ignored

#

Thus the solution of your going to neglect something to the point of it being a problem. Just remove it until you can have an adiquite fix

arctic surge
vagrant frost
#

I can’t find it but 95% sure op said he doesn’t need to “replace” 2.04 lring just have the old style of lring still be viable in the “meta” imo by not having over world chests be nearly as garbage as they are currently

#

Ah I think I’m wrong

#

Whatever

#

Bonk, I still stand by the points I made in this thread/ also in the previous thread similar to this topic

spiral totem
#

i see no harm in other means of lr existing

vagrant frost
#

I agree

#

Also definitely a different thread topic. But I would like to see a change to overworld chest pools. It would be nice to have new items circle through them every once in awhile

chilly monolith
pallid delta
#

camps should be small imo
corkus is a pain to run partly becasue of the caves but also partly because of the spacing between challenges

compared to molten where everythign is neatly packed together with little space in between

chilly monolith
#

yea thats why im confused by their statement, cause I don’t think anyone wants the size of camps to increase

pallid delta
#

if theyre talking about more challenges then yea noone would mind more challenges

chilly monolith
#

yea that might be what theyre referring to

raw gulch
#

well we arent like.. removing challenges tho

pallid delta
#

yea ion get what theyre saying either

spiral totem
#

i believe they meant individual challenges

#

the radius for some is very unkind

pallid delta
#

that could be it

spiral totem
#

the boop mechanic is very annoying also

chilly monolith
#

oh yea

#

ok that is what they meant seeing as they’re connecting it with archer being made worse

#

some of them are extremely small ye

vagrant frost
#

I swear there’s several where the diameter of the challange is like 8 blocks

vagrant frost
#

Nieche criticism but I also with there was a better way to “generate more enemies” in lootrunning that isn’t just spawning super strong anti cheese mobs. +enemy spawn rate would be a funny curse imo and for me would help a lot with the feeling of lring just being a stat race against the same mobs over and over again

#

Kinda like the arena survival games like vampire survivors, it’s fun to just mindlessly kill hoards of mobs

#

Since or mobs don’t drop xp or items I don’t see it being op or abusable

chilly monolith
#

there are 4 challenges i can think of that are too small

#

i am probably forgetting some though

vagrant frost
#

I wanted to get home and take screen shots but I think of 2 places in lutho. Like 3 places in corkus. Like 2 half spots in MH and sky I’m not sure since I don’t touch that place

#

But the self destruct ones by slime cave that’s a defend. The slay one on the upper side of eyeball Forrest with the seeds and tree area

#

Hard for me to describe spots better if I just got home, anyone think of other ones feel free to add

chilly monolith
#

yea those were the ones i was thinking of

#

i can’t picture the 2nd one in rodo

vagrant frost
# chilly monolith i can’t picture the 2nd one in rodo

For MH, I want to change 2 spots not maybe them bigger, there’s a defend one I want to add slabs to and the slay at the entrance to MH I want to move the blazes closer they spawn just a bit too far away then start flying up it gets annoying

#

Also in MH the ice dragon slay one could be a bit bigger imo

#

That challange could use a fair bit more walk room seeing as a massive pillar blocks 1/4 of it

chilly monolith
#

ok those werent the ones i had in mind at all for mh

#

but fair criticisms that i can agree with

vagrant frost
#

Ik someone else said this but the dragon head entrance being 1 block is very annoying eith max walk speed

spiral totem
vagrant frost
#

^ I’ll have to look over but agree on all of these I think

spiral totem
vagrant frost
#

Oh the smoke slay one at MH with shotgun attacks. That one is a bit small and awkward to fight in

chilly monolith
#

there are a fair few of these that I’ve never had any issues with but seeing as other people do, I’ll look into it

vagrant frost
#

What class do you lr on?

#

Most of my testing is olypia shaman and warp lightbender

chilly monolith
#

shaman, warrior and sometimes mage

spiral totem
vagrant frost
#

Ic, I swear who ever is in charge of balancing lring should be forced to lr on archer for a month just to actually see how awful it feels

chilly monolith
#

archer is definitely in a really horrible state for lootrunning right now ye

spiral totem
#

not if you play hmelee

chilly monolith
#

huh

vagrant frost
#

Rlly I struggled trying to make H melee work

chilly monolith
#

is melee lootrunning a thing that exists

vagrant frost
#

I wanted it to be .-.

chilly monolith
#

😔

vagrant frost
#

But boons don’t scale melee like the do spells thus spell spam meta is still around

chilly monolith
#

yea exactly

vagrant frost
#

My info is like 3 months out of date semi tho so don’t listen to me I can easily be wrong

spiral totem
#

twains arc buffs made it insane for crowd control and sustain

#

you dont need any boons besides %dmg and attributes

chilly monolith
spiral totem
#

archer

chilly monolith
#

ah

spiral totem
#

puppetry performance example: wave spawns, i wanna briefly chill on a ledge and nuke enemies, get spawns almost instantly and they dont despawn

#

most other lootruns enemies despawn but not SE

#

also the slay defend near fallen factory spawns flying thing if you die and never despawns, it just spawncamps you

chilly monolith
#

the defend one you mean?

spiral totem
#

destroy

chilly monolith
#

no destroy near ff i believe

spiral totem
#

with burning (hot) men

vagrant frost
#

Ig when I tried H melee I just never felt like I had time to shoot I either had to move or watch anti camp mobs get scarily close to me before taking shots

chilly monolith
#

wait so are you talking about sanitizing robots or what?

spiral totem
chilly monolith
#

sorry, i got a bit confused

vagrant frost
spiral totem
chilly monolith
#

ah ok 👍

spiral totem

#

Imo Wynn should add a 360 nonscope modifier, I just wanna use grapple to fly around nuking kids

urban needle
#

i feel like the whole thing with the anti-camp mobs just isn't the right solution to stop people camping

i think chriswildfire's idea of having some kind of mini greg watched phase during challenges would be a good solution, so you can't stay in one spot for too long, but aren't bombarded with flying mobs every few seconds that you have to touch the ground to despawn

the anti-camp mobs hit acro and bmonk especially hard, because just playing normally makes a bunch of extra mobs spawn, and then you have to stop fighting and touch the ground just so you can fight properly. if there was something like a watched phase every few seconds, it would keep you on your toes but not be too intrusive like a lot of anti-camp mobs are

spiral totem
chilly monolith
#

kk

vagrant frost
#

Agree hard with ely. I dropped warrior because of anti camp mobs and extra annoying combat

#

And like I don’t even think about assassin, I literally forgot it was a class

spiral totem
# chilly monolith kk

The way seconds are counted is what makes it so punishing, say i go up for 2 seconds and at the last second it checks that im 'camping'. Then i go down for 4 seconds, and go back up for 2. It will spawn the things for me

chilly monolith
#

i see

urban needle
chilly monolith
#

“more viable” aka not getting obliterated immediately

urban needle
#

you'd have to stay on your toes, but you could still play and fight normally

urban needle
#

also, it wouldn't only be for acro and bmonk, archer would probably benefit a lot from being able to use their movement spell without spawning a bunch of extra mobs

chilly monolith
#

yeye

#

thanks for the feedback like

urban needle
#

np, thanks for listening to it like

chilly monolith
#

yw

spiral totem
#

Im glad we agreed that lootruns should go back to their previous state of looking for a world and speedrunning chests

vagrant frost
#

Agree you should have actual pvp during lrs

chilly monolith
#

nah bro i always got sniped

#

chests had 1 emerald

vagrant frost
#

Hey now chest have 8 emeralds .-.

chilly monolith
#

😭

urban needle
vagrant frost
#

Real

chilly monolith
#

ok but flying chests

urban needle
vagrant frost
#

I have a 3+ week timer on everywhere I might throw on a old 200% lb set and show how bad it really is

chilly monolith
#

i got 8 mythics the past 2 days from flying chests lol

urban needle
#

dang

vagrant frost
#

Really wow my flying chest rates are awful

chilly monolith
vagrant frost
#

Out of my like 20000+ ish flying chest (I’m guessing here) I’ve only ever gotten 1 mythic from is but like 9-13 from regular chest

#

Half were immolations .-.

vagrant frost
#

80x3 x 25ish

#

I like materism runs

#

So probably half that number maybe

chilly monolith
#

so 6000 / 2

#

thats still a lot tho damn

vagrant frost
#

I’d say way more than that

#

Idk I have like 500ish lrs I’ve probably done more than 25 materism runs

#

I try to only do 100/100 runs so maybe take like 10% of for failed runs

chilly monolith
#

i have like 400 lootruns and I’ve gotten like 20 mythics from flying chests i think

#

so thats really bad luck for you damn

urban needle
#

i don’t lootrun much lol

chilly monolith
#

fair enough

vagrant frost
#

I will admit I wish Wynn would just steal more from other rogue likes. Playing a bunch of different ones lately has really made me see how lacking of systems boons, missions, and even curses are

spiral totem
vagrant frost
#

It’s like there being no “final boss” there being no like “fun synergies” that change the dynamics of combat, it feels like a “boring stat race” cause you kinda just fundamentally do the same stuff start to finish with some exceptions like mana regen or health regen changing play style alittlle. But like there so quad shot brim stone like Isaac, there’s no overclock mechanic like deep rock galactic survivor

spiral totem
#

make a thread

chilly monolith
#

Definitely a lot of interesting stuff to consider there

analog harbor
vagrant frost

That would be so based lmao

Also based on my last thread I think someone else should make it, ima get gorgus to oblivion and back again

Just remember out of those 1346 items I “generated” I only got to see 36 of them and 12 of those slots were tomes. I truly think you should be able to have multiple pages of rewards I can’t express how deeply I feel this way

Bro just take ur mythics and leave😂

vagrant frost
# blazing carbon

Ah yes getting access to .02% of the items I generate is totally not ridiculous

#

You’ve always had the most brain rot reactions imo

Then don’t defend your points because you just want other to hop on a flame war cause I don’t think you have anything of substance to actually say. That’s just my opinion tho

vagrant frost

vagrant frost

It was hero beta they wanted beta testers. Tealy specifically asked me to do a long lr

But a 🤡 like you wouldn’t understand that

So continue to spam the same brain dead response is just shows the levels of brain rot you have

why are u trying to start arguments lol

Like if I could I would target farm ruins for a few lootruns ect

I think having more collectible items that actively get used would be good things to add to loot pool. Like imagine if there were speed surges that give speed 5, I would be hype to collect those while lring

blazing carbon

u just derailed it lol

So no you have nothing to add. Please stfu then

interrupted your own stream of thoughts wth

#

e.g. I've done like 10 swamp/troms jungle lootruns and I'm yet to find a jera from a chest (with 470lb)

#

higher level chests are honestly fine thanks to the challenge reward chests and flying chests which cover the 86-104 level range (with level 95 being a funny exception to that)

#

the 80-85 items can sometimes appear in a lootrun camp reward pool (other than SE) but the chance for the one specific item to appear is very low so its not a particularly reliable option
