I don’t like how people claim to not be vetex haters then criticise in honestly quite abrasive ways. Polite criticism is always an option.

nah the harsh criticism is warranted, vetex makes some mind baffling decisions sometimes then look at the balance team with a straight face as he refuses to spend 2 minutes tweaking some variable number that would make an aspect of the game 10 times more enjoyable

Despite being harsh, I do think he has reason behind his rant
Vetex himself said he wanted to leave the game in a good state before going for the next update, but he left most replayability factors with flaws that can make the experience bad or worse

Yeah vetex really needs to
- Lock in on replayability, this is a game not a visual novel, consistent new activities take priority over the story.
2 listen to the community about shitty features, gameplay > lore ALWAYS. Modifiers, Hecate Essences, and sunkens (despite how classic and cool they are) are all examples of this issue - Optimize, game runs like shit, not much I can give in terms of advice but still

Im not gonna reply my comments to your comment because then the entire train would be derailed
Sunkens are rare on purpose, that’s the fun of it.
Granted, they don’t have very niche purposes like Losts do, but it’s too late for that.
The only exception is the weapons, which you can just use something else in place of, there’s nothing special about them.
If you get a sunken, lucky you, you have defense armor.
I shouldn’t hammer that home too hard, though. My build has 900 defense, and couldn’t without sunkens.
Oh wait, this probably comes off as the “agenda” huh?
Ok Mr I enjoy grinding treasures charts for modifiers
honestly i disagree, harsh criticism isnt hateful, there is a difference between harsh criticism and hating, u cant have both
Is it truuue? Yes it’s true-oo! I do I do I doo-oo!
The grind 
Honestly I feel like what ruins the “sunkens being rare on purpose” is that it’s far to rare to even try to grind (could use auction house as an alternative since they sell for like 200k)
Despite it not having niche purposes, I must say they’re also top of the gear considering I made a 2,000 HP mage with 40 power, 200 size, and 200 attack speed (ignoring insanity)
However what came with it is the time-spent grinding sunkens}
I guess somebody made the argument which I stuck to is that “It’s not worth trying to grind a sunken when you only get one of it”
While farming for pity, it is said it could take over-whelming hours of soulless fishing/grinding, relying on chance (ignoring luck-potions). (Abyss structures work, just a tad bit more effort but again its more soul-less grinding)
I feel like this is some sort of issue since no player wants to grind “dream” items, I have dreamt about having sunkens and I manage to get a lot during luck V era where grinding sunkens was actually bearable and “balanced”. (I dislike the economy)
Well, at least it’s not Arcane Reborn, where Sunkens are of similar difficulty to AO, and among the more common viable items.
Why is this a shit take tho? Cuz if you actually think hecate’s essence is fine as it is youre genuinely tripping

AR items bit to viable
they carry you
the only time I’ve ever seen somebody fumble so hard with a legendary 1/18000 durandal was a guy named doge king against a common mage
Recently I got absolutely murderized by an AG with a Durandal, desperate to get my 500 bounty ass who looked at an AG squad wrong one time and was never let go for it.
This is why I need that Aethereal Ornament.
Your biggest mistake was trying to let an AG find you
you know their trope
one legendary item in their inventory
