All Events broken (strongbox/essence/shrines etc)

Since the last patch events like strongboxes / shrines essence etc are almost nonexistent and are not worth putting anything into it.
When you run a map with 600% strongboxes and get 1 box in the whole map.

I dont think this is intented is it? Cause right now half of the game is rigged because of it makes no sense at all to invest in those side mechanics.

It makes the game very onesided if you cannot farm side mechanics as an alternative your options are massivly reduced.

Hope to see at least a statement or something about it.
If it stays that way the game will go downhill quickly.

Thats odd, I've seen a lot of shrines. Definitely the most shrines, then boxes, then exiles. I've seen WAY more exiles in far less time than any previous patch- and I've ran with full points in it before.

I have no points, and have seen a bunch of em, handful.

Its definitely more balanced... boxes were broken before- thats where I used to have my points. Least two boxes a map, often could reopen even though the chance was pretty low.

I haven't seen many wisps, felt like more before this patch.

Essense I've seen quite a few... slightly more than exiles I think.


Although I certainly agree that I think the atlas points... I don't know, they weren't working on exiles, thats for sure. I think there may be something up with the atlas points percentage application.

I've always felt like the waypoint modifiers don't seem to do much. With and without I barely detect a difference- and thats with the map mods as well. Theres a decent percentage upgrade.

Rarity seems to feel better, and sometimes pack size seems insane- even with low mods. It feels like a lot more monsters in general?

Essay.

you completly miss the point it is about the passive tree basicly not working
i'm not talking about your general 1-2 random spawns

im talking about skilling all points in boxes and not getting more than 1-2 boxes per map with 600 % +

prepatch you got about 6+ boxes with the same stats
now 1-2 it's a bad joke

Also:
the patchnotes said nothing about decreasing any spawns
so i must assume it is bugged

Due to the random content add, I believe this is broken now. I use to get essence monsters frequently in maps and I didn't even spec into them. Now, I only see 1. I can't recall the last time I saw 2.

I think all that other content is broken now, rogue exiles, azmeri spirit, strongboxes, essences, shrines. The most i see is 1 per map regardless of the atlas passives.

I would spec points into maps now instead until they fix this. Remember deli mirrors were broken? It only took them this update to finallya add them back. Well, I believe the atlas most of the content is broken too and conflicting with the new rule of having 1 random content in the map.

Nah they intended those things, if it’s bugged then there would be a hotfix till now. They want you to give up other things for those event to be put on the tablets, simply you don’t get things for free anymore.

Yeah also possible you have to juice with tablets. Which makes no sense, whats the point of the atlas tree then? Its so bland. My 2 points in the atlas and last points look no different, its all the same. I dont see the customization.

Its the same with people saying t1 and t15 waystones are pretty much the same except monsters have more hp and deal more dmg.

I think this mid league patch from them is pretty strategic, they want to test the water for endgame change, but if they do so in the start of next league people might be pissed and won’t return to the league anymore if they fuck it up. But if they fucked up now, people still comeback when the next season arrives.

Yeah, could be. I'm kinda glad they are testing this now, instead of 3 months from now.

Something definitely feel off to me also.

Bumping this. Pre-patch I tracked my 'random extra content'. I run the 40% more, full essence investment, partial strongbox, spirit and rogue.

On average pre-3.1 I would get 2 strongboxes (some maps up to 4, some as low as 1), 1 essence (sometimes 2, and very very rarely 0), and either a spirit or shrine with one rogue exile every 4-5 maps. Summoning circles were pretty rare, but I had no investment in that.

On average post-3.1 I get 1 of either a strongbox, essence, spirit, or rogue exile. Probably about 80-90% less random extra content since 3.1.

I am running 'roughly' the same level of tablet juice.
