GGG Should remove the Uniques Challenge

This challenge would be ok if these fucking items would drop even on the required content. I have a whole stash tab full now if itemlevel 79/80 rigvalds/blackgleams/crown of thorns/ etc. I don't care as much about not being able to complete the challenge at this point as much as I care about not being able to ever acquire items I already have in the perma leagues. This is the reason I won't be rerolling next leagues.

I doubt anyone but popular streamers would be able to complete this.

OP, you could be making a good point.

I'm not sure what all the drop rates are for items, but if there's some super rare 1 million lotto type stuff alongside some win a free ticket for completing the challenge, then it's poorly designed.

They should have one challenge for the more common unique drops and another challenge for the very rare Ber, Jah, Cham and Zod type of chance for item drops.

Mixing the two up would lead to frustration for a good reason. Mixing up easy stuff with hard to do stuff. It's sorta like a bait and switch thing going on.

"Here, see this? take it. Easy no?"

"How about another one! Just give it a little more of your time. We see you've done that too. Good!"

"Now that you see that you can do all this, here's the item you really need. But you have to commit to jumping through flaming hoops while blindfolded and your hands tied behind your back!"

"That's a good SPORT!!!"

I have said this the first time league challenges were revealed back in June.

It is because the challenges have a physical reward - some stupid shirt or hoodie or whatever - that ggg has to put in some sort of ridiculous limiting factor that can only ever be completed by a handful of people, aka the uniques challenge. Otherwise they would have to become a free clothing company.

Remove the damn shirt, stick with exclusive in game rewards or achievement points and it will be a perfect system that can be enjoyed by all.

You are completely wrong.

They could simply make it so the first 10 people to finish all the challenges or something like this gets the shirt or whatever OR make it so there is a limited time within the 4 month leagues so you must finish all the challenges with 2 months or something or there is no shirt reward or whatever.

This way it is much better and can still be enjoyed by everyone.

I like both of those ideas but I still think best solution is some kind of in game item like challenge demigod.

I'm up to 6 now and 7 if i can ever find igna phoenix, then its just 2 months of solid piety/dominus grinding and praying for drops if I want that eight, because those items sure as shit dont drop out of hundreds of 76 plus map runs. It actually gives less incentive to play than if the challenges didn't exist, because i'm not the sort to be able to ignore that imcomplete. It will drive me crazy.

Gl with 7 buddy! This is my maximus :( I admit, i can't collect 200+ exalted for map only uniqs. Thank you GGG for this FFS!

Very difficult, not very rewarding. That's it.

Rewarding:
-8 stars = a SHINY profile,



+ a wonderful aura :



or a super saiyan thing :



-8 stars = have access to a secret room ( chat room / in game room / sub forum) : only 8s and ggg can enter it. ( How many alpha players have 8 stars? )

-8 stars = When you enter an instance or write in global chat, a special sound activates, every player is noticed by your presence:

And a t shirt.

Not rewarding :
- 8 stars =


-Think of me as someone who is going to play poe all his life and wear poe+other game shirts to show them in futur conventions => T-shirt = ultimage gift. Is it? Can't wait to find out about them.

^ - nice idea :) But, GGG don't care.

Just remove the whole challenges completely since you'll never be happy with the rewards.

Oh no! A game dev developed something for players other than special little snowflake you. Better throw a tantrum until it gets changed in my favor specifically(screw being fair to anyone besides me, right?) or I threaten to quit(real childish right there.)

I really really really hope these people who say they don't want to play anymore actually don't because they obviously bring nothing to the COMMUNITY.


Holy shit, entitled lazy children coming from D3 all over this thread too used to tailored drops can't handle a game that drops items for someone else(SOMEOE ELSE ISNT ME DAMMIT WAAAAH).


There's a reason Chris doesn't respond to the forums anymore.
