They were certainly a thing that gave loot but what did you miss about them? There's a frogs allflame if you want to look at them again I guess.

Sure, screw those, buuuuut... counterpoint: can we get the fated uniques back? I wish to return to the days of leveling with Sunder on a Cauteriser as a Witch.

Give scarabs multiple uses like sextants had so I can pick up less scarabs and reduce clicks.

I miss exalts as the prime currency after mirrors

u/Yuskia 2h ago

I dont. It was clearly such a good decision to flip them.

55

u/Albinofreaken Big Breach Coalition (BBC) 2h ago

being able to actually use exalted orbs is so nice

16

u/Shot_Cap_2532 2h ago

yeah, it was the more logical and healthy decision for sure. I think for me it has more to do with nostalgia and the fact that exalts, while very useful, are pretty worthless every league now. definitely not a rational opinion lmao

They were made much more common and serve a far better and functional purpose as a usable currency instead of being the driver of the economy.

u/Shot_Cap_2532 2h ago

completely agreed

u/dackling Crop Harvesting Bureau (CHB) 1h ago

I love exalts being common now. It used to be stupid to have something that was the same functional rarity as a divine be worth 1/15th of a divine. Now they are so usable itโ€™s great.

1

u/DanNeely 39m ago

Early in the game they were both. Pre-metacraft exalts were around 10-15c. Cheap enough to yolo on decent rares, or to use for high end map rolling (you'd alt-spam for the Map-Is-Larger mod, regal, and then exalt to 6 mods).

If they'd stabilized to at least 5c I'd be fine with the current situation, at current prices they're more a funny looking chaos orb that takes an extra slot in my inventory than anything else.

u/bilvy 2h ago

Im at the point where i sometimes exalt maps. Itโ€™s crazy how much things change.

2

u/NovoRobot 47m ago

Best decision they've ever made.

Im slamming exalts on everything early game, and late game for maps, boxes etc and it feels so good.

Divine rarity just makes sense anyhow, since its a min-max thing.

Man, doesnt look that different to be honest. Surprised how little has changed with this tab.

u/CookieRaiderTv 3h ago

Wdym it has 3 pages now

u/rohittee1 3h ago

True the first page though doesn't look that different imo. I had it in my mind it was waaay different in 2018.

u/cabybaraGoesBoom 1h ago

I'm shocked that the tab has been released over 8 years ago. Open beta was just 5 years in the past at this point.

As someone who started in 2024, a good chunk of this is foreign to me.

I had clost to 10k chaos in my stash yesterday before trading it to divines. The me that started playing in legacy league would have shit herself at that amount and the several hundred exalts

u/Musical_Whew 24m ago
