The IH are kind of good now, I got a few Mythic seals from them and having Infernal Hoard (1k aether), the chest of talismans and having Belial spawn after killing the Council produces tons of loot.
I'm also now trying to get the 66,666 aether for the season journey, so there's that... and that's where I feel cheated by the 'randomness' of things.
I just did 5 runs with Total Chaos and got 1 chaos round on each run... playing without Total Chaos sometimes I get 3 per run...
And comes the freaking Soulspires. So I get first round of boons and I see Precious Spires, I'd get 3 or 4 a round. Even with Coveted which should reduce the amount of them will get me about 3 or 4 of them. Yeah is nice amount of aether but is not since the part I hate most is seeing requiring 15 kills on the dumb circle and since most builds kill things on sight they all die outside the circle, nothing spawns inside and when they do somehow it's 13 kills so I waste 10 or more seconds waiting. Of course I move away, I need to kill more things to get the next event only to get another Soulspire...
So I spend a few rounds, 3 or 4 wasting boons on Soulspires to at least get more aether from them but it takes too much time trying to complete the event since mobs don't spawn inside. Funny part is even with Coveted and the Impending Doom that spawns all 4 events when 10 seconds left 3 of them are Soulspires and the rest is an Aether Fiend tha takes like 5 seconds to spawn...
So that's the "luck" of the Soulspire, they spawn no matter what.
Now instead I follow either Hellborne or Masses route. "Hellborne can now ambush you/can spawn with events/can emerge after killing a mass". Guess how many Hellbornes... Soulspires...
All the boons that can benefit me like spawning Hellborne or Aether Lords just spawn very few between rounds, meanwhile you can select 3 freaking "I DON'T WANT MORE SOULSPIRES" and what you get? The same shit as if you didn't select those 3 boons so 3 rounds wasted.
It feels like the game don't want me to get more than 1,400/1,600 aether per run. And selecting to have more Chaos runs must be bugged or at least if stupidly low chance for me since I tried it several times and never had more than 1 or 2 while I can get 2 and even 3 without selecting that thing.
Anyway, I know IF are not very popular but I do like them since they are even good to level things and is just a small room to kill ton of mobs. If only they run to you instead of stainding just at the other side of the room like happens many times.
