to everyone saying archives was an exploit:

yes it was an exploit but u HAVE to use one in this game if ur not super rich and can buy a never ending supply of midnights...

the name is grinding gear games yet i see no way of grinding...

opening a new instance over and over looking at load times (which can spawn area OR master now so even that got kinda halfed in effectiveness) is an exploit too i guess so ud just run an instance over and over to get like 1 area every 20 runs and then get a 1% chance to drop a midnight...

if i have an area that 100% has a corrupted zone in it no matter how fucking hard it is even if every mob is atziri and i then have a 1% chance to get a midnight fragment in the certain corrupted area and i can run said zone over and over... THATS grinding to me

the way it is now it would be like clearing 20 minutes of trash mobs in a wow instance for example just to realize that the bosses arent spawned --> go outside --> reset --> repeat --> after 20 tries u get a spawned boss --> kill it --> didnt roll the 1% chance for ur item --> repeat the 400 minute ordeal

that is not grinding that is more like a factory job mindlessly doing the same shit over and over for 12 hours a day not getting anywhere...

and its not even that but maps are pure chance too (better have an mf culler as friend) i cannot get above lvl 71 maps after 700 hours of playing even if i only run pack/magic with a 6 man grp

uniques are random so u cant bank on that 1% soul taker chance but rather the 1% chance to roll 1 unique out of 200 or smth

at least enable us to grind the instance where we wont get the drop we need anyway instead of forcing us to "grind" for the instance that we'll never get that wouldnt drop the item that we need anyway...

My bet is they are implementing something to solve this in Act 4, and rather than duct tape what's in place now and waste time creating a temporary fix (such as recoding maps to have corrupted zones) they'll have a completely new and challenging way to obtain the sacrifice pieces. I'm also guessing they'll introduce a completely new set with Act 4.

With that in mind, I do believe Act 4 will open the door for more options to obtain maps, sacrifice pieces, and maybe even new maps that will exceed the current map level cap - considering we'll have new zones to play around with in Act 4.

As it is, while they're creating the new content, they need to keep current content balanced along with it, even if we don't see their production until it's released.

Improved the generation of corrupted side areas in the Archives area.

What does this mean?
i farmed the archives for corrupted areas a few hours in the last 2-4 days and i found at least ~5 areas in 1h. now i found 1 in ~5h. (i cant say if im just unlucky after 1 day, but its strange directly after the patch)

its not wanted to farm those areas there? oder what did "improve" in the generation?


i dont know, maybe i miss some information^^
