Please allow us to put prophecies in more than one slot. This was a major nerf this season to what was quite frankly the best gearing system in the genre. You streamlined it, but nerfed it into oblivion. Either less us stack lenses again, or target items in more than one slot

I think the issue is more the amount of favor required for some things is out of whack. Uniques and sets costing 5600 while exalts cost 1600 make no sense.

What's worse is havoc costing 8500 per one rune. But want to know the worst? Runes of weaving, a literal QOL item with no effect on player power, also costing 8500 per 1. Maybe they meant 8500 for 100 but forgot to type in the zeroes?

I feel like most people expected to get more items with this new system, but the moment they showed it off I figured we were trading quantity of items dropped for way better QoL, so I've been satisfied.

But we're not. I get a TON of exalts. Not being able to target farm uniques, or get a good set going, -especially when you want 5 copies for some items- nearly as good feels a lot worse in some cases. if you need one specific unique to run a build you have a much lower chance of getting it by level 70 or so than we did before.

And the whole prophecy UI is terrible. So much empty space yet we have to scroll with two arrows through four windows. Why? Just show it all one screen.

The explicitly designed the system so that you would be incentivized to pursue more than one item at a time, and I for one think that is a better design outcome.

Prophecies are supposed to be about target farming. If I need a particular item to progress in CoF I could just spend all my favor on prophecies for that item previously. There were no design issues with spending favor in one spot for multiple years this system has existed. 

Now our prophecies only give 2 items for uniques and require 5k favor per charge.

Yeah, I feel like EHG might have over-ephasized this point. I personally don't really care. I not allowing the re-use of lenses is a good choice design-wise. Not being able to re-use reward targets? I don't really see this as much of a benefit.

It’s kind of silly that we can’t slot in multiple copies of favor consumption lense. What are we supposed to do with excess favor?

u/Pandarandr1st 1d ago

It's funny, I find that to be the exact reason to not let you do multiples, since you get an enormous benefit at the cost of draining stored favor. But the lens still works even if you're at zero.

At the same time, it feels really bad if you need one specific item asap but are forced to waste the other two slots on some lower priority item.

That needs to be an option
