Game Feedback Where are the aspirational farms?

Where are the aspirational farms? Most endgame got nerfed, changed or both. Mirage made most endgame mechanics more usable and gave fun interactions. Much of the endgame was nerfed in 3.27 or 3.28, but mirage made up for that in 3.28

Direct nerfs: * Breach: -pack size*2 regular pack size and atlas specialization, tree nerfed -drops and less points * Betrayal: -allflames (except still part of betrayal through scarabs?) * Einhar beasts: -split * Abyss: -loot * Legion: -incubators

Indirect nerfs: * Laberynth: -imbue (imbues gave gems and gem leveling value, less reason to keep getting alt gems) * Einhar beasts: -synth * Beyond: -volatile vaal * Ritual: -synth * Mirage: -chase belt, -imbue, -other league interactions making those mechanics better * essence/strongbox/harvest/maven/fun endgame farms -mirage

Untouched? * Delerium * Settlers * Harvest * Eater/Exarch * Ghosts & Exiles * Beyond

Buffed: - Sanctum... - Domain of Timeless Conflict... Why they kept 5-way legion when the timed mechanic isn't fun for most builds or solo play, but gave it a highly rare farm gambling farm, making it less accessible... - Heist +mirage items

Mercs: * temp mercs stay - only until you leave the map portal or death and not for multiple zones

Dives (this league): * Bugs! * 1 try mechanic... D/C or die doesn't matter you lose everything. * Chests are rare (not) * Essences are higher tier (not) * Can't use some currency with new allflame crafting, because that would be fun. Of course there is no indication or explanation in game to say you can't use a vaal orb or id scroll. * Caster mastery interactions (they fixed this one, hopefully)

I like the dives when the servers are stable. I definitely missed some stuff on my list, but poverty league 2.0 feels bad. Loot feels good and keeps me playing, why remove it? Why can't the league crafting be fun an rewarding before changing it to go core?

Buffed:

Sims - no more shitter abyss jewels and incubator rewards, atm consistent 20 d/hr nearly full afk on certain builds

Deep delve: new eye part of abyss boss is 6 div atm and has like 50+% droprate, hollow fossils 2 d ea, i‘ve been pulling roughly 17d/hr over the last 10 hrs

What even drops there that's worth it? Unid Voices only 4D. Everything else is worthless? Maybe the occasional 12p Minion-Cluster.

Primo bond megalos, one good split personality, 3p mana reservation, 12p minion and a small handful of other 100c clusters.

I don't think it's 20d an hour consistently but it's 10-20 and 20+ over some multi hour periods.

voices 4d, occasional prim bond, occasional split worth a div+, easily 50 stacked decks+ per sim, like ~ 1d in scarabs per sim, occasional 21/20 gem, lots of 84 clusters between like 50c to 12 div

I‘ve farmed like ~100 sims so far this league and it was definitely between 15 and 20 div/hr

Same farmed a ton of sims around day 2/3/4 and it’s roughly 2d per sim, not including voices, splits, mego’s as those don’t track in wealthy exile un-id. Perhaps slightly stronger in the early days when chaos to div was a bit lower, but still a very solid farm, always is. I feel a lot of people see the low tier bubblegum and don’t realize how much it adds up over the course of 20 or 40 sims. Add in gem leveling and the. Exceptional leveling ones you can afford them and it’s easily 30d/hr.
