State of the Beta - Post #6

Is it possible to add implicit mods to more higher level body armours?
Right now only a handful of body armours (IIRC Astral Plate, Carnal Armour and Assassin's Garb) have implicit mods

There will be much standard league rage following this announcement.

It's been 2.5 years, which is a long time even for a permanent league. If GGG presented me two options: stagnate for the next few years or have a revamped crafting system, I know which I'd chose in a heartbeat.

They're going to have to make crafting a whole lot more rewarding for far less currency before they're going to get me crafting again. I've already wasted way too much currency on poor RNG, and the majority of players feel the same way.

And this thing about great gear having to have a drawback mod... Gaining a great ability by having to sacrifice defense or DPS for it is something that makes me spend too much time in lesser games than POE.

I won't even start into the death penalty issue. Shit, if you really need a death penalty to create excitement in your gameplay you ought to play hardcore.

'Nuff said.

There will be mods better than Tyrannical and Glyphic for example.

GGG going back on their word again...

the sad thing is im not even suprised.

oh well only got 1 mirrored item.

~b/o 20 exa

just got this 2 days ago wtf

Thanks for the update. All nice changes.

Thank you Carl, good communication and better understanding of what was happening (and why) was most of what the community was looking for all along. Glad to see it happening and also the lack of info coming out lately put into context is a good thing too.

So it looks like the few winners out of this will be:

1) The top crafters (they already made all their money from BiS, current orig crafts that will be 'worthless', will be like T2). They are probably smart enough to have hoarded ets and exas already to work on new crafts as soon as 2.0 comes out.

2) The 1% of the 1% who have money left over to mirror new gear, which will cost A LOT more, probably (at least, in the early stages of 2.0).

The big losers:

Everyone from mid - mid/upper wealth, below 1% who used up most of their currency for some mirrored and top gear already.

I am sadly excited, and really shocked by this at the same time... if they wanted to keep things new and fresh in STD for all, they could do something creative about END GAME content, rather than target mirror gear, and pretty much piss off a large base of STD. There must be some purpose to this madness, or they are with holding something, not sure what, but for their sake, and ours, I hope they thought through this really carefully...

Welp pretty glad I didn't mirror anything yet

Guess I'll be hanging on to these for a while

Are you fucking kidding me?

I have now WASTED HUNDREDS OF ETERNALS AND THOUSANDS OF HOURS crafting this since open beta in hopes of making it mirror worthy only for you to make higher mods just before I finish? I cannot express enough anger towards you. Looks like I'm done with PoE

My only regret is giving GGG any money, I wish I could take it all back after this slap in the face. GGG will never see another dime from me.

to be completely honest

that got crapped on already when they announced ancient blade
