We need to talk about Tuning Orbs

I spent well over a week doing lvl 25 majors to get the 10 Corrupted stone for a single Genesis Orb. Some friends pitched in for 10 Runestone ($4000g) and I made the Hearts for the other pieces during that time…

We just finished Genesis with our own orb (single use mind you) and for about 5000g you can expect ABSOLUTELY NOTHING different from finding a rando 60 with an orb who wants to run it.

If Amazon if going to block off dungeons with 5k gold keys and not drop anything extra for that effort, then why are they even in the game? Are you daft enough to think there are going to be fresh 60s on every server (that you can only make ONE character on)? Did you test this level range at all???

We went through this effort cause we heard you have a much higher chance for a legendary item. Well it wasn’t much higher when we got no different loot from when we ran it any other time.

If you wanna fix this, you can do 1 of 2 things:

  1. Remove orbs altogether. They are worthless. Let people run the dungeons all they want. You obviously have super low drop rates for legendaries in them anyway.

  2. Lower the cost to make orbs, and have them essentially guarantee 1 person a legendary item in that 5 man group.

Whatever you do, just change it. It’s abysmal right now.

I never did like this orb thing.

They mentioned they are looking into it in the dev blog post but no specifics

Fun gates are rarely fun so hopefully they’ll come up with a suitable solution (and they are looking into it).

I ran 73 level 65 corruptions in Shattered tonight. 12 were the large portals. Not only was all the gear, pretty bad. I only had enough mats to make 2 corrupted lodestones. But OH WAIT, they are BoP so R.I.P. the idea of combining any slivers/shards/lodestones with group members or friends.

It’s a bit much to farm all that. and then do a run, where you get nothing good,

I do agree with you, but you probably should have asked around and quickly learned this was not worth your time
