chaos recipe nerf way too harsh

The level requirement of 60 for the chaos recipe is too high.
It should be lowered to level 52 so any merciless-dropped item can be used.
Setting it at 60+ limits the possible farming areas way too badly... not even fellshrine is viable anymore and a LOT of people like to farm there.

The point was to stop the normal farming... level 52 still stops that (and cruel farming as well)... but eliminating 70% of the areas in merciless as well is very bad imo.

bump

I hear what your saying but also see why GGG chose the breakpoint they did.

Where else could they put the breakpoint when a high level char can farm Brutus Merciless just as easily as Brutus Normal?

And lets not forget Oak and the other Bandits in Act2.

Agreed, the problem was normal farming, not merciless.

It should better scaled like 1-34 35-53 53-64 66-73 73+

Wait wait, there is a level requirement for the chaos recipe?


I'm lvl 47 and was all happy collecting rare unidentified rings/gear and the like hoping to get some chaos orbs soon :(

No, they can't.
The reason normal farming was so lucrative was because the player could focus all gear on mf, load 5 extra characters into the game, get all runspeed from the tree (~150% increased movespeed total with quicksilvers constantly up) and still kill the bosses instantly without any risk of dying.
Farming brutus/merveil/vaal in merciless is a LOT slower and a LOT more risky when neglecting defenses like that.

Oh and bandits don't drop crap, nobody farms them..

Understatement of the century. Let's put it this way: I could one or two shot normal Merveil in a 6-man party. It took me like 30+ hits to kill Cruel Merveil. On Merciless? She will take a very long time to kill. In fact, I might probably even need to go back to to town to refill potions if I am in MF gear (and that's without andvarius - those would be suicide).

+1.

Make it merciless.

Yes, GG nerfing it for ANYBODY, because of the few multiboxers and the complaints they generated. It's not like this initiative fell out of the sky after the recipe was there for so long.

GGG, again, solve the problem (greedy multiboxing people and others like this), not the symptom. For people like myself who got maybe 2-3 Chaos/day from the recipe (which went into the map sink), the recipe was JUST FINE.

Solve multiboxing, leave normal people alone to farm the little they can farm.

This is the worst solution possible - rushed and desperate, affecting everybody for the faults of the few exploiters.
