Dear Crate, about shattered realm...

[Zantai]

After dozen of tries i am sharing the above feelings - out of my 16 chars all min-maxed i have like 3-4 which can with 60-70% success rate farm 65-66 shard and thats it.
I really hate to admit it as i was looking forward to that new mode as a better Crucible alternative however as-is its much worse in both balance, variety of builds which can do it, engagement/interesting gameplay.

I realise SR is in kind of beta as in no way you could shape it in a good spot with a dozen playtesters hence i am confident Crate will make it as good as it should be.

By Shard 65-66 you’ve gone well beyond the difficulty of the Crucible, so I’m not sure in what way it is balanced worse.

You seem to have set an arbitrary goal for yourself in the Shattered Realm and if it’s not as easy to achieve as 170 Gladiator Crucible, then it is somehow not as well balanced. Believe it or not, Crucible is in the 55-60 range of the Shattered Realm, at best. Anything beyond 60 is pushing your limits, where anything goes.

Coincidentally, the full Shattered Realm set is earned by Shard 60.
