Doh.... Why did no one tell me?

Please fasten your seat-belts and brace yourself - else you lot will fall out of your seats and roll on the floor laughing...

Why did no one tell me, that Latent Sundercharms can drop in Non-Ladder?

A A A A A R R R G G H H ! ! !

How could I not know?

My biggest motivation to play Ladder was me thinking, that Latent Sundercharms drop in Ladder only.
And that I have to leave my beloved Non-Ladder Characters in order to face the dangers in Ladder ill-equipped for to wrench those juicy new charms from the monsters' cold dead hands, because my Nonladder characters needed them sooooo dearly...

And now, while happily sprinting my new Dragon-HolyFiredin through terrorized Worldstonekeep there just drops a golden Grand Charm from the very first T1 Herold...
And I think: Ah, cool, another Geeds for my collection... But then, I shan't trust my eyes, after identifying I see a new

Cold Rupture.. and I go: "Wait... this is Nonladder... err... what, how...... WHOOOOOOT ??" o.0

Here and now, I shall travel to

Tristram and put myself into the pillory we all found

Deckard Cain in.
You all, travel to yonder place, bring along your rotten eggs and cabbages and let me feel scoff and mock - I surely have earned it...


Why do I write this? I have the slightest (though most probably unrealistic) hope, that someone gets to learn that he does not have to play Ladder in order to drop Latent Sundercharms.

I mean this altruistic (In fact it would surely help my ego, if I am not the only dolt who confused this...)

/Doh...

Hahaha i wonder why you thought sunders were ladder only? ^^

To be fair, ladder opens up a whole new realm of trading so that's far from counterproductive if you don't just want "any random latent" but are actually looking for renewed with specific rolls.

When in doubt, play both, trade wherever needed.

A good question...

One to which a sensible answer still eludes me...

Maybe, because I assumed Blizz introducing the new Latent Sundercharms will keep them to Ladder only to have a further incentive for the players to make them start Ladder after Ladder again.... I don't know...

Or maybe I am just an idiot... -.-

Maybe, with 53 now, it is time to stop playing Video games and realign my hobbies more into boules, or stamp-collecting, or other old-people-stuff...
