2 Steps Forward, 2.5 Steps Back

Ahhh D3 + Demi... What have you done. Everything was looking so good. You had the deadpool daily quest going on. Followed by a new "Idea" for making the transition to 3* even easier that wasn't released yet. You have put into place a healthier system for PVE with 8 hour refresh nodes.

And then you go ahead and drop THE HUNT! for the release of a new 4* character that everyone seems to want. I'm at my third run and the scaling is already through the roof.

But scaling is besides the point right now. What I'm wondering is the following: What is the purpose of having 8 hour refresh nodes when you're gonna have two subs open at the same time running in overlapping fashion (my English teacher would've killed me for this last sentence).

I play this game a lot and with the amount of nodes to redo in the hunt, I doubt i'll be able to grind out during this event. And I accepted the fact that maybe professor X won't be for me. But then comes the fact that he will be the essential of the next PVE, and just that thought is already killing me inside.


Ahh D3, why are you always taking two steps forward and 2.5 steps back?!?!

    What should I tell you?
    They probably don´t know anything about scaling.
    They don´t have rosters to witness that.
    And they do maybe one clear per day, not like us, several hours per day...

    None of what you're complaining about is new, so it's not really a step back...

    I won this event by not playing. Have been doing some Civ 5 instead - quite enjoyable by comparison (I'm coming for you Inca Empire...).

    And to be fair, as long as it's a new 4*, everyone loses their minds regardless at how bad said 4* is. Prof X is not going to replace xor in the PvP meta, so he's basically a pure PvE guy, and since doing well in PvE will jack up your scaling, he's basically not useful for end-game play. I mean look at Elektra: we had complaints for grinding for her, and look at how useless she is overall.

    I was thinking the same, particulary with the upcoming changes, it seems they are only good at destroying the most used characters, characters that they overpowered first
    The 4* pve needs some rethinking, the whole structure no matter which pve, is absurd

    I think you need to take out that decimal point from the subject header

    why bother playing when you can just load all characters onto your account?
