    I second the issue with blue organs being to low of a drop rate. I feel like there needs to be another area in the game other than cows/inferno cows with increased monster density. Farming vanilla bosses is extremely boring. These are the only gripes I have at the moment. Keep up the good work! Keep the boss drop rate the way it is.

    Well I think its pretty obvious what the overwhelming majority thinks. (Keep in mind this poll has been open for quite a while and ''easier to find them'' has never dropped below 60%).
    I really think bosses should have a chance to drop items and access to them should be wayyy less grindy.

    Wether the solution is to raise droprate of marks without changing drop locations and reducing the boss drop accordingly or moving the mark drop to tougher areas is up in the air (both are same tbh).

    Well..... i i voted to be easier to find but i think there is a better solution...... Correct me if i`m wrong but in vanilla diablo all items (items, runes etc) can drop from any monster with lvl higher than 87 i think. The problem here is that to abtain the mark of something i have to kill one single boss 345132 times (thats lika e bot) and here the fun dissapears. So what i think should be done is lowering the drop rate and return to the roots and make vannila items drop or some of them from every monster with lvl 87 or higher

    add more 87+ areas with monster packs like inf or cows. it is extremely dull to farm only a few places in a huge map. also vanilla bosses should contain nothing except shards. you can make mark etc. drop from a boss in each inferno portal for example. just make it omega hadriel and give him better stats probably will make lives harder but funnier

    Theres times when im frustrated with the drop rates but I honestly have to say I disagree with you.

    I work hard at this game and Im not the most lucky guy on the planet but ive been rewarded more than enough for all my hard work. If you dont know what content to grind based on your current gear or character choice then thats a whole different issue in my eyes. But at every stage of the game I have experienced so far there was a place for me to farm that felt worthwhile.

    If youve been farming for weeks nonstop and still havent found any somewhat valuable items then you are certainly farming the wrong place or with a character that isnt good at farming or in solo games where drop rates ARE actually terrible for certain worthwhile items.

    If you want i can take a look at your gear and try to make some suggestions about where to farm or what to try to improve.

    Have a nice day, hope this post doesnt offend you.

    I was so hyped playing again on annihilus when i knew reset was coming.
    I cant play as much as i did when i found out this server, but i kinda wanna stop to play now... We are debating about how to get to late game areas, but what is the late game areas? Pits a5? DL PL? the a2 a3 a5 bosses (unclean, circlet and charm). This are the actual late game u can reach to farm. Marks are pretty much impossible to get if u r not a no life. Same for blue organs. Thats actually kinda bad imo. When u can do the late game areas, they doesnt feel like late game, if even i, with every day work can get enough stuff in 1 week to go farm them.
    Only difference i really feel from 1 year ago, is cruci is harder, u cant farm inf cows, u cant kill chtulhu as easily. Other than that, what would make me want to farm for high tier items, if i just cant go in a TRUE late game area, where i d need to be that strong.
    Just get a barb, with poor items, and ur fine for all late game areas... Just mappo is harder...
    Main problem is to go to inf cow, appart from using GOLD, u wont go do inf cows .... Despite it is the only place with 87+ and density.
    Why would i wanna farm 1000 duriel if i just get an item from the mark, and use it for being stronger?!! i already have a barb that can smash all (apart from chtlhu or maybe maps boss, but i dont know i never saw them)..... I tried build a chtulhu sorc, its cool, but my barb does all she does and faster ... whats the point, soloing cruci? as pvp is dead on anni, whats our point to farm? (very personal pov here). Making bosses mythic just prevent "low" players to kill them, and have to play in groups. I like D2 when i can solo things...
    When you made rare items OP again, it was so nice, wanted to ID all of them, now they are totally being useless again .... (some are worth ID coz they CAN be best in slots but man, uniqs are so OP u wont keep rares too long in slots.....)

    In D2 the good thing was u can farm 87+ areas, and u KNEW u can drop all from them. (apart from keyz) (aka doing pindleskin for 8h straight)
    Here when i am farming i know i cant drop SO many items... Either i farm for vanilla elite remade, or i farm for specifics bosses to get their items, but its really not pleasurable to know ur farming 2 hours, but u CANT drop all those good items from bosses... So u have to dedicate ur time to an area, knowing u ll have to farm this or that later.? Ofc u can trade but try it !.... when u cant play like a no life, u just cant get anything by trading. Go get into a clan ? thats not guildwar or wow is it? I feel like this server whom i loved so much from being so close to D2 is keeping to go away from the real feeling of D2. If there was 5000 players, maybe would be different.

    I think drop rates in general should be boosted.. I dont have time to play alot since im working nonstop but after like 20 inf portal runs and 12-15 plaguelands I didnt find a single good item.. Im stuck there, unable to do any other end game content and its so hard to find good items.. For a week ive had the same gear, still trying to grind when I can but not finding anything atall.. and yes I have MF gear on when I try to farm
