I guess you thought the same way about this like I did. I was expecting something bad to happen like losing the quality or the implicit mod to change into something useless but hey, it did not only turn the marohi into a rare item, it also fucked up the 6l...

a shitty rare with shitty links with marohi skin.

10/10 troll orb.

devs and community might laugh at this but I'm afraid it will backfire.
too bad because it was a promising patch so far.

Also the name:



holy shit

I find it impressive how many fan boys GGG has. You're convinced this was a good move because it makes you laugh? You're enjoying this because you like to laugh at other peoples misery? These are the people that GGG is catering too? Did I stumble into a game full of 12 year olds?

Indeed,
First i though my op was making them laugh, then i realised it was the qq.
Secondly, i though they were going to be mad because of teh unlinking/unsocketing, NOPE
What item in this world 6 linked should be : Rerolled + Unlinked + Unsocketed + uncolored ?

So how many drugs do you guys at GGG consume at the office? No rational company would ever make a decision to punish their players in this fashion.

If this stuff is real, which it's looking like it is, you guys are seriously spitting in the face of all your customers, particularly with how misleading the whole reveal of the outcome of the orbs was. Who cares about ethical microtransactions when you pull stuff like this? Even if it only affects ten people before word gets out that the orbs are trash, it's inexcusable.

lol? They didn't punish anyone bro, they just gave us an opportunity to punish ourselves. Some of the outcomes seem to be pretty damn cool, so don't expect people to stop gambling with these any time soon.

This is what said the drug vendor to teenagers parents or some similar shit

Wow dude, you've completely lost the plot. They made it very clear that the outcome could be "undesirable" and anyone who knows the game obviously knows that's code speak for "this orb has the potential to troll the shit out of you". The plus side is that it also has the potential to turn items into truly one off amazing creations. Don't like it? Don't use it bro. Simples.

That's fine. While you justify it there's people that will get mad and quit the game.

I'm personally not going to waste my time with these. I just feel bad for the people who were duped by GGG with their intentionally vague communication. The trolling should be kept to fishing jokes, not permanent game mechanics that result in lost items, unless it's all fully disclosed beforehand.

He made an in game friend of mines an eternal for the lols.. and my stupid friend keeps saying to him: "I still respect you" :S

I can hardly believe they release something like this that would ruin a 6l unique. What the fuck was ggg thinking. I thought it would add a stat and maybe the stat you'd get wasnt the one you'd want.

What is this shitshow lol @ how epicly this feature is fail.

Rethink vaal orbs ggg. Rethink.

When are we just going to be mad => RAGE QUIT FOREVER? I wonder..

Lame analogy bro. If GGG are drug dealers, what does that make you? A junkie? They are just some dudes who made a cool game, they sell nothing but pixels dude.

The guy you are referring to didn't even try to find a rod, he said so himself. If he did, he would have found one. You were the one trolling by talking him out of it. You made him waste an eternal for nothing.

maybe you could...you know...just not use them?

or maybe you know, they could not suck, and then we could use them

They don't suck. You have to take something called RISK. With RISK can come REWARD. GG rolls aren't going to be handed to you casually.

Well yes, except it seems like the risk exceeds the reward by a huge margin. If these are only worth using on gems and maybe rings/amulets, then it's either boring or unbalanced

Thats just awful. A lot of people are going to quit over this, dumb mistake and idea by GGG. Shame.

No, the person using it on an end game item is the one making a mistake.

GGG said it's best to not use it on end game items, but instead to use them on mediocre items in the hope of turning it into something good. That way if something bad happens, you are not losing anything valuable.

I mean really, if you don't know what the orb will do, why are you using it on one of the most expensive items in the game on patch day, without looking at the forums to see what results people are posting?

It's a monumentally stupid decision and only the player is to blame.

You guys are completely nuts if you use new currency orb with pretty unknown possibilities on your expensive gear first. Sorry, but you took the risk way too soon. Ragequitting because of result of your own risky decision? Yeah... whatever.

I still think you are trolling anyway, noone in his right mind would risk that much and if he does, he should be able to bear outcome of his own decision.

I do feel your pain, but in the end, it will make you stronger. I hope ;)

Just wanted to say I wasn't laughing at the QQ but at how hysterically awful the game design philosophy required to even create something like this is. I can afford to have that reaction because I quit playing weeks ago, don't give a shit what happens at this point. I wanted to congratulate the OP for accomplishing with this thread what GGG couldn't do with patch notes.
