Season 5 Economic Review | Norms is BiS

[@SoBadStrange]

What if we could bring Uniques into the Arena? How would that affect prices and MMR. Shouldn't we be allowed to practice with the best gear in the game in an enclosed environment where it is not lost? Especially since gear is easier than ever to get this wipe and it would be a good way to see what needs balancing easily. Plus itd be &$%king sick!

[@Joel-wj9ql]

If there were a separate bracket for named uniques that could be fun. Would suck to play against them if you didn't have them though

[@KevinCarlino]

Brand new player here, literally started last week... It became very quickly apparent that gold storage would be an issue and I've been trying to figure out the right alternative gold stores -- this was a very helpful video.

[@MrGodPowered]

The best way to get wolf pelts is go into 124 trio, as a solo rogue, or a panther chicken, and just go farm the wolves. people are straight up running to reds OR fighting at middle.

[@SoBadStrange]

This still working I might post a video and ruin your farm lol

[@MrGodPowered]

@@SoBadStrange you can try it out. I noticed since they removed queues then re-added them there were more people running in 124. I haven't been on much though. Working like crazy.

[@bigfungus4203]

I would assume that the lightning dash from the sorcerer is illegal too since you go clearly over speed limit ! I will police them !

[@JELKEK]

I appreciate your very enunciated delivery, that was perfect for my tiny rogue main brain

[@DaDwizarsnoob]

Thanks for not talking about wolf pelt farm in ice cavern.

[@SoBadStrange]

I can talk all day about the wolf pelt farm in ice cavern. Some secrets should absolutely be revealed especially now that pelts are 1500g+

[@MrGodPowered]

@@SoBadStrange its not a secret lmao

[@snapkraklepaul]

People (including me) be running squire gear, try to grab a pelt and dip 🤣

[@tfigmoney520]

I say bring uniques into arena and go crazy. Arena should be to practice PVP and have the best gear matched with the best gear. If the game can 'try' to match gear brackets, that would be ideal to prevent uniques paired against blue items, etc. Additionally the ONLY issue i see is if you can use uniques in arena then there are less people risking uniques in the dungeon. I think it would be interesting to see a '10 use limit' (or whatever number) on using uniques in arena. That way you get to use it in arena and it still gets cycled to other players in the dungeon as the items get 'risked' there.

[@SoBadStrange]

You’re absolutely right, I think there would be a lot of people that don’t want to risk their uniques in the dungeon just to have access to them in the arena. But most people don't want to use them anyway and id wager the majority never do, they just end up selling them. At least here theyd want to use AND gem them.

[@tfigmoney520]

@SoBadStrange in this case I think it's cool to at least let people play and experience the weapons MORE in arena by using uniques. Which could incentivise them to use the. in the dungeon if they feel really good with the build. Maybe I'm being optimistic ha.

[@diegoskm]

If u do that , you will never see a player with an artifact in trios. everyone would play arena instead

[@nxsus5653]

I'm glad someone finally agrees with me panther chicken jump totally ignores the movespeed cap

[@Franwow]

Everybody agrees with that lol.

[@QwertyQ42]

sorc with dash now ignores it too

​@@QwertyQ42with cast time not really

[@SchroeFoe]

i think thats the point though, they have colldowns but with a burst of movement, can't cry about one thing then have fighters and barb at max ms for 15 seconds and think thats ok

[@Franwow]

@@SchroeFoe fighter has it for 6, barb 12.

[@Creedio90]

thanks, its really cool how you do these economic reports

[@MrGodPowered]

Lol be me: Bought endless frost ore/gold ore at the beginning of wipe. wait 4 weeks for quests to come out, have over 600k in powders and ingots lmfaoooo

[@SoBadStrange]

You bought it at the right time lol. Have you bought your 10x sets for the demigod race though?

[@MrGodPowered]

@@SoBadStrange nah Im just gona chill and grind it out haha. Im stoked I got in at the right time though richest I've been in this damn game xD

[@franpschorr3646]

Not a fan of uniques in arena. While it’s decent practice, I think you need to still leave a bis kit to be achievable by an average player. Your team of three could be really good, but still not be able to play insane hours and farm full uniques. I mean my sorc is like level 126 or something and while I did actually find a spell weaver on it, I’d be no we’re close to farming a full unique set. Just too much of a time sink. I think the game can be very competitive with capping it at legendaries and still help develop your skills for dungeon pvping.

[@Electabuzzgl]

Spider Silk doubled today with Spectral Bag being released.

[@progunantilife4777]

big problem i struggle with in this game is stats dont feel any different from squire kits. i go in 350 gearscore and i still die in 3 hits as a barbarian nonetheless. i spent forever saving up like a 10k kit just to instantly lose it and my whole squad to some sweat team that absolutely deleted us. i dont understand how i did no damage and took so much i had so much gear, so much true dam, and so much strength. 176 health gone in 3 hatchet swings. i just do not understand this game ive played 500 hours and i still get hit with stuff all the time and i just dont understand i did everything right i hit with harder hitting weapons and i still die.

[@dokusai7765]

@@progunantilife4777 no offense, but 500 hours is not much to be running HR...esp split across classes. You're competing with guys who have double or triple that most times...normals is bis af imo.

[@SchroeFoe]

@@progunantilife4777 watch a streamer that plays your class and a playstyle you like and copy it down to every little detail. don't think perks, skills, and gear will be enough to save you.... you gotta learn when to push, how to reset, and how to dodge and skip rooms

[@Plate14]

Wouldn't crafted purple items be useless in arena if uniques were allowed into arena? Also allowing uniques into arena would only benefit the top 5-10% of the player base that actually has access to those items.

[@zacharylansing]

Well when it's easy to get into the dungeon and out of the dungeon so quickly of course it will spike the market. You no longer have to spend 20 mins to get to the boss. everyone can just do the boss instantly

[@mikekedian1221]

Lets get rich fam!

[@Btk780]

Chief of police needs to get rid of gambling. All it's doing is ruining the game and driving up prices and putting Helen's wongs kids thru college. Everything is expensive because of gambling that is the only reason

[@Cosmekjc]

they should add custom matches so u can 1v1 people;(

[@affinity601]

Mannn, i tuned into this video expecting anger, dev shame and balance complaining but all i got was open minded discussion about gameplay flexability. 🍅🍅🍅 But no fr, its not like you are going to run into uniques every single game since its a low pop of the playerbase this strong. Nothing wrong with a boss battle here and there. Worst case make a blues only and an everything goes queue but that would probably split the playerbase. At the end of the day, who cares, you dont lose shit

[@tombofthememelich2192]

IMO this is why it is ok that boss is so full of 3rd parties. If it is just some money that you want, you can get it easy without contesting boss, or wolf pelts, or even going into HR. If it is named artifacts you want, then it is time to git gud and that is ok. The skills, situational awareness, and game-sense required to do boss and survive third parties are all valuable forms of skill expression for the game.

[@samuraidabz885]

Isn’t everything more expensive now that it’s o-123
