Absolutely wonderful.

made my bday thx :D

You are welcome.

I wonder if Blizz will ever figure it out.

I hope that this time we can get nice results without heavy trading.

whoa... pointless content.

Absolutely noone can afford to craft in this game.
Who is going to use an exalt on a yellow?
Appart from players with mirror services with a constant stream of currency coming, nobody is seriously crafting in this game.

You managed to come up with content aiming at 1% of players (and i'm being generous).

clap clap clap, another Warband League icoming.

Pointless complaining. This is my favorite type of post: Someone complaining beofre any information is even released. I imagine this person goes to a restaurant and starts complaining about the food while waiting for a table. For me, I'll hold my opinion until, you know, there is some information to have an opinion about.

Well, community is not to blame for this backlash.

Recently trading/crafting was abused *cough* crafted bows *cough* and it costs fuckton of currency to make anything worth awhile, that's not flasks or Strongboxes.

Not to mention, presentation of these "hot features" reminds people of Warbands.

This will continue, since GGG got keen to post small info bits to reduce "news" drought.

Please, don't put more RNG in this game. I'm afraid that new content' ll be illusory for most players ( like damned prophecies -98 % crap, rest -heaven, etc.). Give more fun for average player, don't force "no-lifers" again and again ( for example -enchantments in helmet -is it a joke ? Probability to roll a wanted ench. = near an "absolute zero").

Welp, looks like this is the league where I finally go back to perm standard. I've got three leagues worth of stashes to clean up, anyways...

unless this has no RNG what so ever stop calling this shit crafting, dropping exalts on items IS NOT CRAFTING.

for fucks sake, you guys are so on point with all the other terms in the game except this one.

Sweet. Can't wait.

looks potentially fun, could go either way, the specter of warbands still lingers in the mind. Sounds partly like an idea scrot had to essentially make unique mods be on random rare items, I +1ed the hell out of that idea because its awesome, and this looks like it might be along those lines so potentially super hyped to see it.

Are they like Warbands mods? Because if they are....

Then no thanks

Ya, heres warbands from my perspective, as someone whos played like 12k hours of poe, probably puts in 5x as many game hours as a normal player. Warbands has been in the game for a year, Ive come across a lot of them in various ways, identified every blue item that has dropped.... never found 1 single blue warbands item, ever. Not 1 SINGLE ITEM in a year of them being around. K.

So if I did find one what would happen is I would alt it, regal it, and then vendor it because it would be fucked. Now if I did this 30 times and then had about 30x as many exalts as I usually do I might be able to make 1 'ok' item from a warbands mod. So you would need to up the drop rate of warbands blue items until I actually find one of them, then multiply it by 30, then multiply exalt drops by 30, and then maybe the idea of warbands dropping blue mod items might make sense. Thats literally how absurdly stupid warbands and crafting in general is.




Depends how these things are obtained. Is it like a perandus enchanter we find in the wild? Does it exist outside of orbs? If the idea is that we actually use orbs on items and you dont drop at least 10x as many exalts as usual, no one will be able to craft anything at all and the entire league will be a waste of time. The reaction you are seeing in this thread is mostly because no one crafts, 10x sounds ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as expecting anyone to be able to craft something with anything short of 10x the amount of currency we usually have. Realistically if you want us to craft in the actual league then 20x, 30x as many exalts are needed, literally that many more or its impossible for 99% of the player base to do anything at all.






Right now Im hyped about it, I love the look of it, but I feel like the most I can probably hope for is to buy in trade some of these items and take them back to standard league, then spend 5k hours grinding this game for the next year+ to drum up enough exalts to attempt to even craft 1 of these things. I have a horrible feeling it will be 2018 before I actually start crafting any of these items im finding in a 2016 crafting league because thats the sort of time periods it takes for a player as poor as me to get enough currency to craft something atm. By poor I mean for every 100 players playing this game theres probably 1 guy who has more wealth than I do, thats the kind of poor scrub I am. Everyone reading this post who is part of the other 99 ppl is probably thinking fuck crafting its bullshit and fuck this league on the back of that.
