From my understanding SR is going to have more that 84+ shards in the upcoming Fangs expansion…why?
Most builds (I believe) can not even reach such a high shard (even if mad_lee came back from retirement for nth time with their god blessed builds). I know there were people who play multiplayer that made it to the end of the SR. Is it for them? If that is the case then I get it. It can be fun pushing SR with your friends!
But if we are talking about solo play then I do not believe most build are making it to SR84 even if min/maxed to the extreme.
Please do correct me if I am wrong. Maybe there is a way to get to SR84+ solo
a) Whenever someone reaches “the end” of SR, it is expanded, yes.
b) I’m not sure what the post-scrunch end of SR currently is. Pre-scrunch, it was 210, or perhaps 220.
c) Where did you get your information that the SR was getting a higher Shard count in FoA? The only info pertaining to SR and FoA is as follows, from the FoA announcement:
The Shattered Realm Grows - discover new regions and boss arenas being slowly consumed within the Shattered Realm’s unstable infinity.
This is almost definitely referring to the addition of more maps, not necessarily to a change in Shard/Chunk count.
d) Why…does it…matter? The entire pitch of SR is that it’s “endless.” That’s literally the point of the mode.
Oh! You might be right! When I saw ‘The Shattered Realm Grows’ I assumed that more shards would be added without considering the possibility of it being new maps.
