Many people didn’t understand my post. Probably due to a lack of knowledge about the game. Or because at that moment I had played for 55 hours and they had played for about 15-20 hours
We completed the game in co-op with four people on the highest difficulty in 25 hours. Town maxed out, the entire story completed, and Crucible multiple times. (And we didn’t rush it… not at all. We could have done it MUCH faster.) That’s called knowing the game.
After all that, going from 25 hours to 55 hours was all about repeating the same thing: clean corrupted areas looking for embers for max our build or creating new ones. And not being able to do it due to a lack of ember drops.
Every day, when other people reached our playtime, they started making posts about the same thing here and on steam. “The ember drop rate is poor/wrong.”
The game needs a higher difficulty mode and an improved ember drop rate (or farming system of them) if they want have five types of embers instead of one. Especially since only three embers are worthwhile.
We don’t know if this has been fixed; we stopped playing because it was wasting time. We’ll try the next patch.
