| They have a cap on bloodshards to make sure people know what bloodshards are used for??? HOW STUPID! if you have no idea what bloodshards are then its not a big deal, and if there is no cap and you finally find out what they are, then you have a lot to spend! I know I am not the only person here who is mad at the poor reason for for a bloodshard cap, this is utter garbage and blizz, really YOUR COMMUNITY AND PLAYERS UNANIMOUSLY WANT THE CAP REMOVED so do it. End of short rant... Still mad... | ||

The reason for having a cap based on the fact that people will just hoard blood shards until they just need a single item is understandable. I think a every 100 paragon levels you get a +X cap increase would be a good thing though. Awesome idea, Cabrawr! I like how your suggestion takes into account the design goal that Travis talked about of ensuring that new players understand what Blood Shards are (and that they're meant to be used regularly, rather than hoarded) while also acknowledging the request from more advanced players for a higher Blood Shard cap. Rather than ignore one group or the other, your suggestion takes into account both groups, and focuses on a solution that might work for both of them. Very, very cool! Wyatt also commented on a thread with a similarly constructive suggestion over on Reddit Diablo, and I wanted to share what he posted here, to add to the discussion: As mentioned during the Tavern Talk, we would like to increase the cap via some mechanism that allows players to unlock it via accomplishment. As we mentioned, players clearing high rifts are hitting the cap more frequently than intended. A 1500 cap is probably too high, because as you heard on the Tavern Talk, we don't want veteran players to defer their reward for too long, but allowing players to raise to 750 or 1000 via some accomplishments? That might be workable. Another thing I like about this idea is that it's a personal reward for improving your personal best Rift. As we also discussed, I would love if the game could celebrate personal bests better :) Forget those leaderboards - if I just want to do a Whirlwind build, I would love the game to celebrate each time I reach a new highest rift. | ||
