Supposedly you enter the core but your depth indicator says d26, d27 and d28. Honestly this bothers me, I would rather it actually be core depth (d29+) AKA shadow lair depth and beyond across all the levels. Sure this would increase the difficulty but it would also increase the payout at the end (why are there SHINING crystals still being dropped in what should strictly be a 5* rated level?).
Did we actually enter the core?
What do you guys think?
(why are there SHINING crystals still being dropped in what should strictly be a 5* rated level?).
This only reinforces my belief that fire crystals should have their drops stratum-restricted. No way in hell should anyone even see a Shining Fire Crystal coming out of a treasure box anywhere above Depth 19, or below Depth 22. >_<
Finished a run with a few of my officers last night and I have to say we noticed this too. I think it'd be better to replace the depth number with ??? like the shadow lair depths. I don't think Three rings are going to add any more depths. I imagine levels will just become much longer when the second part of the Arcad Redux hits.
I also agree that Radiants should drop a lot more frequently in the core levels... they are stupidly rare and there needs to be a better way to obtain them then to continualy farm Vanaduke.
Let's keep all the discussion about the new content in one place. Thanks!
We did enter the core. It's just that for whatever reason they did the same thing as with a few other mission, like A new threat, where Haven is in the second Tier of the Clockworks, or that recruit mission where we train recruits in TIER 3.
