Remove MF completely from game
|
I agree.
ARPGS are about killing stuff faster and faster to get more loot, MF completely goes against that and gives you the same reward that someone gets for less performance. Boulder bros

I have played POE since launch and I never found any good linked rare item >3 sockets.
Consequence: After 5 months of playtime (casually since I don't have much time available), I have 10+ stash tabs full of mediocre gear with no more then 3L. I only have 2-3 4L head/gloves. No matter what build I want to try I can't get pass lvl 60 with 3L... not enough damage. Solution: Easy MF low Life Sporker - this is the only character I play right now since all other chars are too weak to do anything. Even this Sporker is weak for the same reason: 3-4L items. Let's talk about ES. In 5 months the highest ES chest has 187 ES... long way till 6-800 ES... Again the only way to make a CI build is to farm with the MF char...
Best ES chest that dropped in 5 months
So there IS a problem. The game is only playable (in solo mode) only if one has a MF character to farm items. EDIT: please don't tell me to use currency because I'm out, didn't get any outcome because you need an absurd amount of currency (fusings/jewelers) to even get a 4L. The highest amount of fusings that I once has was about 12 which were dumped in a Searing Touch that got in the end 3L. Last edited by nebunelux#1236 on Jun 25, 2013, 10:13:46 AM

" ever heard of trading? step 1) level up in parties until you complete A3 merciless step 2) use your currency to buy 4L items step 3) farm for more currency step 4) use your currency to buy 5L chest step 5) farm harder areas step 6) buy better gear step 7) repeat steps 5 and 6 indefinately If you don't want to do the above steps, you deserve to spend 5 months wasting your time in the game for nothing. there is nothing wrong with the game, if you want to "win" at a multiplayer game you have to actually play it like a multiplayer game, not a solo-rpg.

" you are stereotype for many, many players out there. i have two mates, one stopped allready because he died all over the place, trying selfbuilds + selffound. poe gamers need some skill i would say but he also suffered from the low droprate. my other mate is now 76. he is more skilled but he also dies all over the place. with the drops he found he has something around 35 resist and 2,3k health. his build is good, his equip is not, thus he does not play anymore recently. he never found an exalt. never. he is poor like a bum and cant progress anymore. if it wasnt me who asked him over and over to give it a try again, he would have abbadoned this game months before. i also help him with items of course but i have the same problem as him, so his gear is still subpar. he would love to craft stuff but he is disappointed to death, he didnt even managed a 5L yet. his bows are shit, no links, no orbs. fuck it. i have t stop writing here, getting angry. |

I agree also. You should only need to increase your farming rate by improving and strengthening your characters dps (and movespeed, and survivability to a point) and not just stacking some "extra candy" mods

Any chance a Dev will comment, whether there will be changes on this system?

Yes because simply stacking enough offense and defense to complete all content is really a worthwhile pursuit and doesn't literally take less than a day for many players. Oh wait it does.
Hey...is this thing on? Last edited by LostForm#2813 on Jun 25, 2013, 11:22:40 AM

" I'm tired of people who are REALLY bad but think they are good. A new HC league started 2 weeks ago, I died at level 48 and my second is level 73. Everybody started from ZERO. I don't run a MF build (actually LA ranger, I will switch to ROA when my DPS will be high enough) and I mostly use what I find (I bought a few gems : 2 WED, Area Concentrated of Effect, and some pieces of equipment : a belt, a bow and a quiver, for a total of less than 10 chaos). I sold 2 gems : REduced Mana and GMP and nothing else. I'm not 100% self-found, but I'm not that far. My current gear :
Spoiler
Don't mind the missing gems helmet and the boots, I removed Frenzy+FA+WED and Reduced Mana+Grace+Wrath to do some test. I haven't killed Merciless Piety yet (too risky atm for me), but I can do everything else without any real problem. Look at my currencies :
Spoiler
I'm in the category "poor", my gear isn't uber but I was level 50 in Merciless and 60 in act 3. No MF build , no uber gear and still not dying all over the place. 3.2K life, 75 resists everywhere, around 1K tooltip DPS with LA (2K with Frenzy, I'm slow against a single mob). |

" That's plain bs. aRPGs shouldn't force you to trade, or punish you in an insane way if you don't. aRPGs are not multiplayer games, every content being soloable should've been enough of a hint. The way Diablo 3 evolved with the AH should also make you realize that trading is actually not doing that much positive to an aRPG. |

Think about min-maxer too. Right now minmaxing gear is PAIN and not FUN. As hardcore as POE is, it attracts a lot of minmaxing gamers i think. minmaxing is not realy possible right now.
i would love to craft items over and over to see what fits my build better. right now its more like "ok i take this until i find something better but i would not wear it if i had a choice" |
