I think the problem here is that, its hard to find, but MOSTLY how tf do claim it? Like there is going to be a fucking 729 level atlantean, like thats bullshit man…

Oh there’s something I forgot to mention about the first one.
The first one was not ONLY bugged in a wall, but there was also a structure bugged into the wall next to it, so even if it WASN’T bugged into the wall, an atlantean was supposed to spawn there!
Why did Vetex even put it in Insanity 3? It’s been highlighted and restated over and over that we’re not supposed to be there yet, and still magic’s equivalent of a fighting style mentor is way out where you’re literally not meant to reach it.
My thoughts exactly!
I3 should’ve been meant for Vimir Sea stuff, I hate how Vetex makes things harder, I love the game nonetheless, but its been keeping me from having fun kinda…
I don’t want this thread to lock because balance team said no more suggestions about Hecate essence
I agree that essences should be less rare but adding a beacon to it would be too much imo.
At best the particles should be recolored to be more distinct and also made to be seen at long range.
If anything is “too much”, that’s putting it in the far reaches.
Which is an area that, let me reiterate this once again, is literally supposed to be borderline impossible for us to do anything in.
If its going to be in the far reaches, I should know, not only that it is on an island, but exactly where on the island that it is before I even dock.
I have never wanted to tell someone to do not do nice things to themselves so much in my life
You should’ve shown a mod it being bugged into the wall so you could get your reset
I don’t think that works lmao…
im literally the opposite of a mage so i cant speak on the whole thing but yeah it sounds ass to deal with
although, this might get me yelled at, but i feel like it’s kinda fair that it’s harder to change magics than weapons/fs…?? like weapons are tangible objects, you can just. put one away and take out another
and fighting styles still have to be trained, which is still a time-sink, which i don’t think you have to do with magic…?
like it shouldnt be as hard as it is and im no lore-head but i think magic is like a part of your being so it makes sense that it’s harder to change than how you punch people or what you hit people with
Hecates essence actually has me tweaking so hard why is it like this bro 
Vetex Gaming pls 
The problem is that it isn’t hard, but is a gigantic MISERABLE time sink, that’s why it sucks. I’d honestly rather farm an entire sunken set than have to go look for another essence

Last time I went looking for one, I got water poisoning on a flat island on the opposite side that my boat was, when I finally made it back to it I got carried by two waves back-to-back and died. Never went back there ever since
In lore, I completely agree, Hecate essence shouldn’t even exist to begin with.
For gameplay, however, hell no.
Gameplay >>>>>> Lore

Seriously, if he wants to make players work for a magic change, that’s understandable, it can be a little more difficult to change magic than FS/weapon but this is just absurd. I’ve gone on (8) 1 or 2-hour trips into the Far Reaches and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Like you said, if the Far Reaches was meant to be nearly impossible to reasonably traverse at this point in the game, why would you 1, put a massive gameplay feature out there, and 2, make it insanely difficult to find once you’re there??? You don’t want people changing magic constantly to match meta? Sure, fine, whatever, make it a bit of a chore to do, but again this is just too much. It’s absurd that it’s currently more worthwhile to completely wipe your file and restart than it is to try and find hecate essence. It’s not even a cool/fun challenge, it’s just a nightmare. I wanna change magic, but I don’t want to completely restart. Vetex, please acknowledge how insane this is and do something about it.
