Terror Zone rotation and Statue drops needs to change

Trying to farm

Baal statue is a joke. The worldstone keep usually only gets terrorized once a day. Meanwhile other random areas get terrorized 3 sometimes 4 times a day. 30 minutes to try to farm a statue where the average run takes 4-5 minutes if you're teleporting. Maybe 3 minutes if you're very lucky. I was fortunate enough to notice the upcoming TZ to be worldstone, so i set it up for the last wave of

Baal to be alive just as the terrorization began. Needless to say i did not get a statue. You could make the same argument for

Chaos Sanctuary. At least those runs can be done in ~1 minute. But the rotation rate is still abysmal.

How is the average person supposed to acquire this bloody statue? One has to drop everything they're doing and dedicate 30 minutes to stressful teleporting and farming.

I don't want the game to tell me when i should play. I know people have made this criticism since

Terror zones came out. But now tying an endgame crafting component to it is a step too far.

You can farm keys ANY time. Statues should be able to drop any time you kill these bosses--perhaps at a lower rate. When a boss is terrorized it should significantly increase your chances.,

I'm sure people have said all of this before.

This is a game i have LOVED since i was 11 years old played D2 Classic and i hate to see it turn this way. It feels very antithetical to Blizz North game design

I agree, 30 minutes is too little, I miss the 1h long TZs

This might not be much of a fix, but in the Durance TZ earlier today he dropped a Buk-Kathos,

Madawc's, and

Korlic's so it seems that Meph can drop more statues than I originally believed possible.

They can all drop 3 each, specific ones (basically the surrounding acts). 90% chance of native act, 5% chance on the other two. Andy and

Duriel can drop act 1, 2, 3; Meph drops 2, 3, 4; and Diablo and

Baal drop 3, 4, 5. I think I have all that right, it's listed on the boss pages here.
