Really hope to see these two things in mod 6

1. Increase the DR of adds and bosses in pve
Most classes now can easily overstock armor pen I feel like they really need to increase the DR of both adds and bosses so that this offensive stat actually has some value in stacking again.. Hell I would even love to see a boss that as their hp goes down their DR increases.. So that the last few % might be more challenging
2. We are absolute need of dungeon farming again.. Mod 5 ended this... And now there really isn't much to farm at all.. Making AD by farming in the game has hit a wall almost completey..
An idea on how to achieve this again
We also need new BiS pve armor sets.. How about sets that don't have completely set stats lets say boots have power/recovery/defense/deflection that when it drops it rolls stats between 400-500 of each stat.. This would encourage people to continue farming to improve their stats and have something to sell

For 2:
So you are suggesting something similar in Diablo III? No! I am against that. This will make the game p2w.
Considering most armour pieces are bound anyway (ugh) it wouldn't. Plus you know, we already have the rp system which is free unfriendly. Tbh it's everything unfriendly.
As for lack of farming options, I've been saying that since mod 1. Mod 2 is when I figured they weren't going to learn, so felt obligated to have a leadership army if I actually wanted to earn enough. Not quite as fulfilling though.
What's more likely to happen in this case is that you use cubes of augmentation to roll stats.
- The poor Guardian Fighter and Great Weapon Fighter finally receiving a different paragon, they were the only ones who didn't get a "Surprise" paragon back then, just a lazy swap, which created the many issues we have today with these two classes, especially GWF.
- Level cap increased to 70 or above, but make the quests a little more exciting, perhaps some cinmatics? Like Swordsman, Swordsman had some awesome quests but I didn't stay there due to the garbage combat system.
- No.More.Artifact.Gear
- Foundry and PVP working together to improve each other (Foundry making PVP maps, and PVP helping raise Foundry's popularity).
- Piercing damage completely removed from the game
- Actual exciting dungeons which require tactical teamwork and strategy, and not zerg and blow up.
- More PVP game modes: Last one standing, CTF, regular deathmatch.. anything.
One of the many Control Wizards that misses Shard Of The Endless Avalanche. RIP Shard (Beta-Mod3)
Maybe that was the idea.
20K. proper ROFL
This is a very good point
I run the Dread ring just for refining stuff
That said I really whish there was more of an adventure element.
I see so many folks just seem to care about gear
It is the story and adventure line which has always mattered to me...
Not just running "toons" for Binary gear
Just me
Urlord
It would the Foundry and everything else more tense instead of the boring murder house.
Some very good suggestions. I definitely second the PVP game modes and the foundry playing a part in PVP, the reinvigorating the dungeons/making them harder or strategic.
At first thought the increase of the level cap to 70 would be nice as well but, to implement this correctly they would have to do alot of leg work i.e. change the "excess XP" that was implemented for gaining XP while 60, potentially adding new encounters/dailies/at-wills/class features/ or even expanding the heroic and paragon trees to compensate the level difference to actual make the 10 level difference worth while. And that would be for each class. Plus you would potentially need not just 1 new map but a whole new area with maybe 4 or 5 maps that were 61 -70 exclusive. That would lead into new dungeons for level 61- 70 as well and even 70 exclusive ones. An obvious PVP change would be necessary as well.
Even all that is probably the tip of the iceberg of what would be needed for the bare minimum to make it work. And that seems a bit too much for cryptic to handle as of right now.
What I think they should really do is postpone the new mod for a bit and actually dedicate some time to actually fixing or atleast looking at the many bugs in the game/individual classes before they go an add another class or anything else and make that bug list even larger than it already is. I think the entire community would be alot happier and ok with a decision like that. Giving NW a "fresh start" for the new year
However, I'd love to have a legitimate challenge inserted back into PvE w/some sort of enticing reward up for grabs. Be it awesome new gear, RP items, random new thing, etc. I'm all in favor of it.
Mod 6 is a big one, and I'm looking forward to what the Devs have in store for us!
Why not? That's barely half of a blood ruby.
Are you saying completing a tier 2 dungeon is not even worth half of a blood ruby?
Has Cryptic conditioned us that everything have to come from the auction house/zen store nowadays?
Maybe not a static 20k (such as for t1 stuff), but if we averaged 20k a dungeon run it'd still be over 200 dungeon runs for a legendary.
100 dungeon runs per legendary seems about right.
but the best way to do that without adding more toxicity to the player base, gs elitism, and speed runs is to simply adjust the ICD on dragon hoards in dungeons. balance it so you average 40k rp per 30 minute run. If you wanna speed through them in 15 minutes you double your epic drops/salvage but you still maintain the same rate of RP (and thus it'll take you 200 runs per legendary). If you are in a lower geared group of newbies and just learning how to play you still get 40k rp per 30 minutes, so if it takes you an hour to do karrundax you get 80k rp (and thus it'll take you 50 runs per legendary)
Then add legendary difficulty versions of all existing dungeons with lvl 65 mobs and put blood rubies in the chest at the end, in addition to the above RP from hoards.
but hopefully mod 6 has a complete revamp of the refinement system instead of bandaiding the existing system. an XP system with no clicking/carpal tunnel, and throw in a coal ward requirement at each level up so PWE can still sell us stuff from the zen shop. still "f2p" eventually if you wait long enough for the 7 day boxes, find a way to farm ad and buy em off other players, or whip out the cc.
Yes. There is no chance they incorporate new stuff for Mod 6 right now. But some of the issues are long-standing things, which might be on their radar.
Well I'd say that depends. Some kind of small change could probably still get into mod6 but it'd have to be pretty small, and an idea that makes people double take and say "lightbulb"
