Media 1.20.4 Update thoughts(AKA totem/lootruning)

Okay basically a thread to talk about totems and loot running, and some of my thoughts about them.
Lootrunning
-before 1.20.4 loot running was amazing, and no complaints could be said because there were unleveled+ the normal runs
-After 1.20.4 you can even get a run without it being snipped, unleveled was killed and now you can't run it, nothing good has come from this update.
-Chests are client-side, so you can't even get a run without someone ruining it, overall loot running is just ruined because of this, still doable but it's completely ruined.
Totems
-totems are literally cosmetic
-just because people find a way to actually use totems doesn't mean you nerf it to the ground, now they don't even spawn half the time, and /class is better. Might as well give totems to free players bc there useless.
-/class is free and way better than totems
-Totems should be reverted back to original state or re-done because the state there in rn, is useless.
Dragging Mobs
-Yes it was very much helpful, but was it necessary to nerf it to the ground? no, it should be region-based not if the mobs go 5 blocks away totems won't spawn them.
-there are bigger bugs than mob dragging, and yet they fix this and not the other bugs
-But i do think they should re think some decisions about mob dragging

 

PLACEHOLDER POST GONNA POST MORE LATER

BUT THANK YOU 2 THREADS IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN 1

 

you're describing server side chests, not client side

 

Ok i've asked this a few times and i've never got an answer: WHAT CHANGED ABOUT MOB TOTEMS?!?!??!!!?!??!?!

 

^ yeah, I also wanna know too.

If mob totems were somehow giving like a mythic per 10 totems or whatever, than yeah, I can totally understand them being nerfed. If they barely work at all though then such a change definitely would've been overkill.

 

"Mobs spawned by mob totems no longer have a chance to drop a mythic", haha, imagine.

I use mob totems to farm ingredients and that still works for me.

It is difficult to balance mob totems, because people will always find a way to abuse it to farm mythics (Avos as an example in the past).

 

mob toteming needed to be nerfed - it was only available to those with loot bombs and totems, and was the pinnacle of p2w wynn besides champion rank as a whole. it was a horrible way to generate mythics IMO (however i am not against grind spots that are unaffected by totems and dloot, but the old way was simply p2w)

 

It was more like 3 iirc

 

bruh wtf

Did you think even for a moment before writing the lootrunning section?

 

i was so fucking confused until i saw p0ke's comment
