I played in the first few days of the Friends and Family Beta and it was.. A BLAST. Were there a ton of great drops? Yep. Were they a little overdone? Maybe so. With the recent change in beta, and especially with bosses, I am getting nervous. THIS IS A LOOT GAME. We don't fight mini bosses just for fun, we want loot. And not 99% garbage drops but real items and upgrades. That being said, I see Blizzard taking one of two paths:
1 – They make the drop rates abysmal once again like D3V but Legendaries are actually decent. You spend 200+ hours grinding for gear in RoS.
2 – They make drop rates plentiful and fun. It may take your 50+ hours to get a really nice set of gear.
Now, in a perfect world, since the AH is gone, it would nice to get some decent drops without grinding for hundreds of hours. I’ll gladly take a quality 25-50 hours of fun loot drops vs 200+ plus hours of NTC (Nephalem Trash Compactor) like vanilla. Kill me now.
Thoughts?
