So I decided to pop in after just over a year break. Randomly picked my T-hunter and noticed a very obvious change...the different map titles.
I did my research, did my searching. And overall I am enjoying the new change. I seem to get a ton more of legendary artifacts now, of course they always end up in the soul forge but that's neither here nor there.
But I want to make sure I'm understanding some things correctly...
1. you cannot train the disarm timer away on higher maps? This is probably the most annoying aspect of the new changes for me. Yeah, wee. they managed to incorporate an unused skill, and I don't disagree...popping boxes to set traps seemed kinda cheaty to me. buuuttt...you can't train the skill so well that you can successfully use it? Ok, the timer is 'reduced' with higher skill. Am I understanding this correctly?
2. on the annoying disarm timer, it is completely random? With 0 skill I did maps ranging from the new 1 to the new 5, multiple of each. The disarm time on a level 2 box was almost as long as the level 4. the level 3 I'd bet was as long as a 5. The only difference I noticed was that I failed more on the higher level maps. failed twice on a 5 and once on a 4. Other than that the timer and damage done per pulse seemed to be very similar on all maps. Was this just a RNG experience or does this sound accurate?
3. No more lesser arti's? No more little green bags?? I'm mixd on this one...I was collecting them, just...because. No real use for them anymore other than turn in points (if those are still useful). I've found a couple random..things? legendary mapmaker glasses for example. That's nice but I liked the guaranteed win!
4. The new loot bags...Do these decay over time in storage, as in I loot it and put it in a container in my house for future use. Or perhaps I load it with legendary artifacts due for the soul forge and toss it in a container in said house. I thought I had one disappear but I've had several others not so I'm thinking I just misplaced?
5. The mysterious fragments. From all I've seen they're still in the Mysterious phase? I did about 20 maps over the weekend and have 130ish of these things. I read about them being dropped at shrines but not really what they do, so guessing still a puzzle?
and lastly 6. What is with the skull sword and octopus necklace? Are these just fluff? Are there more? Once I was back in the groove, I wasn't really paying attention to what I was looting but those two caught my attention. Made me wonder if there was anything I may have skimmed past...
Thanks for the time!
