Improvements to Item Drops

thankd a lot

The shadow nerf lose our trust, the remedy is lacking. Till you fix what is fun for all of us. I'll log off and stop buying MTX. Carrots and sticks GGG, goodbye.

Nerf the loot by half then increase it by 33%, yeah great tactics. Feel bad for the people thanking them

Another disappointing post yet again...
the wilsonvision is going strong i see.

Now resorting to good old sales anchoring tactics.

To put it in POE terms:
stage 1: 90% LESS loot - everyone is angry
stage 2: 25/33 INCREASED loot - followed by "see we're listening everyone should be happy now right?"

IMO this doesn't play so well after the initial response read "working as intended"
Oh and "we just want to reduce the number of clicks", yes and we were all born yesterday.

If Chris hadn't been so vocal for ages about the intent to slow down the game and "hard mode" this leagues situation may have had a tiny chance of passing for accidental.

Please stop trying to turn this into D2 so Mr. Wilson is happy and maybe look at steam charts (or your own numbers which i'm sure don't paint a pretty picture either) and consider if one guys vision is worth the cost.

Why should we adapt? Where the F all these nerfs year after year come from? Skills gutted, archetypes destroyed, now even loot is nerfed? And WHAT FOR ??? What was wrong with the way it was? How is this making it better??

Oh if we could only stay kids forever, wouldn't that be nice.

Oh so you're the kind of player to take all the abuse and explain to the public is for your own good kinda guy huh.

I can't believe you're pulling mobile freemium games tactics such as anchoring. Last Exilecon you even mocked mobile games for doing nasty things and now you're doing the same thing.

Not surprised that this is their band aid, with their track record, I don't expect much, POE is a dead game, Chris and GGG have killed this game, just shut off the servers permanently please, you don't listen to your player base, you do what you think is right for YOU (Chris).

Trust = Dead
POE = Dead

Hey tencent, do us all a favor and fire Chris, and bring on someone that actually pays attention to what the players want, and actually follows through instead of breaking our trust, and hire someone that doesn't lie.

This patch and band aid is pure garbage.

I'm still so heartbroken. I hope this feels somewhere close to good. I'm hard locked atm having to run heist to get currency to roll and buy white maps...

While increasing the rarity of items dropped by archnemesis certainly helps, it doesn't address the issue of them still being vendor food 99% of the time, this is an overarching problem with POE that isn't fixed, it's about what combinations of mods are good together, as for unique items they still for the most part are relegated to leveling uniques that doesn't impact end game content, making the leveling uniques stronger is certainly nice but it wasn't enough as is.
Map Bosses acting as act bosses is good, I honestly think this should have been in the game sooner but better late than never.
I don't think the buff to currency will be enough to soften the blow, it just isn't enough, it's a step in the right direction though.
Making harvest crafts cheaper is nice but harvest monsters still do not have guaranteed chance to drop lifeforce in a meaningful amount.
Reflected jewelery from the Lake of Kalandra on a fundamental level have too low of a chance to have a combination of mods that make sense together to justify all the downsides and that's without mentioning what those mods are in the first place which as far as we know there is no unique modifier to the mechanic and while having higher stat than normal is good, it still doesn't have enough of a unique identity in my opinion.
I hope that tainted currency will be at the very least as effective as in scourge league if not more.
Also please stop trying to force archnemesis on all players, it was fine when it was an opt in mechanic but now it's just everywhere and unavoidable.
