Hello.
To start this off I’d like to say that the game was everything I wanted, and can say almost nothing negative about it, plus the secret area on ultimate that I got to yesterday brought smile to my face and a lot of nostalgic memories.
But, the main flaw I see going trough the difficulties is that the legendary item drop chance is pretty much not existing beyond exalted chests.
It is literally even worse then in ‘Titan quest’. Elite mobs on ultimate will drop epics commonly enough, but legendary items are just retired. Unlike TQ where the regular mobs had decent chance to drop a legendary or epic item, here they might as well not drop anything as the chance of the drop seems to be >0.001%
You may say: “well yes, they are so rare, that’s why they are called legendary items”, but there is not really much keeping me in this game after finishing it on ultimate as I have reached my goal, and I would rather have finished as a bad ass with a cool legendary set (my needed set I should stress, because as with all these type games for what ever reason they seem to give the class opposite items “whose ever grate idea was that”) then a weakling running around with a conjunction of some sort, that I get from exalted chests, and covering after 3 bolts to the knee, since there isn’t anything “legendary” to compliment my build.
Sadly you cannot grind the secret area for legendary items unlike in TQ, because the drops after the first run trough is like from a regular ornate strongbox, and skeleton key rooms take way too much time to run trough for only a possibility of maybe a legendary item, that is if you can get trough the dungeon without dying.
To be truly honest I don’t see almost any increase of legendary drop rates from veteran to ultimate.
Not a large sample but from 20 runs on veteran and 20 on ultimate in the ct’honic skeleton key dungeon I got 8 legendary items on veteran and only 12 on ultimate, yet the time it takes to run trough is more then 3 increased on ultimate.
Overall I have a really positive view on this game and can say GJ to the developers for making it, but do please increase the legendary item drop rates. Personally hoping for an expansion in the future
Off topic: spoils from elite mobs could be adjusted in size the better the loot expected in the bubble, would be a nice visual feed back as to what expect inside of it, currently they are all the same size with different names.
