I think too many people want the game to be easy. It's not supposed to be. This news' update hasn't even deployed yet and people already talking bad about it. We'll find out in the updates if the rates are based off the current values, or the original base values. That was NOT specified in the OP.

Just be patient and wait for it to actually release before you talk bad about something.

That's like putting a cake in the oven and before it's been 3 minutes you say it has come out horribly. It's not even done cooking yet!

I'm in the minority I guess in that I still find the game lots of fun.

I think that the direction that AN has is a good one, from a future dev point, but it wasn't fully executed as well balanced as it should be. It WILL have changes as we go, but good feedback is pointing out specific mix problems, not just saying it's bad.

For example, what two-three combinations have been the worst experience for you?


My dude, your highest character is level 90 with not great gear (to say the least) in 9 years of playing this game and currently have 3 challenges in league. How are YOU gonna talk about the game being easy lmfao.
I just wonder.
I had $10.
GGG took $9

Now they'll buff 33%/Significantly/Dramatically/25%...

I have $1 left...

33% = $1.33 - NOT EVEN $10 I HAD BEFORE!
Significantly (let's think x3) = $3 - NOT EVEN $10 I HAD BEFORE!
Dramatically (let's think x5) = $5 - NOT EVEN $10 I HAD BEFORE!
25% = $1.25 - NOT EVEN $10 I HAD BEFORE!

GGG, I AM A DISABLED PLAYER! WITH A LOWER REACTION TIME! WITH PAIN, IF NEED TO CLICK TOO MUCH... CONTROLLER SUPPORT ON PC IS A JOKE! JUST MAKE IT LIKE IN D2R!

IN THE LAST 2 YEARS YOU STOLE POE FROM ME!

AND I INVESTED IN YOUR SALARIES OVER THE YEARS MORE THAN $400!

POE must be fun for us! FOR PLAYERS! Not struggle, pain, anger - but FUN, JOY, and RELIEF from our day-to-day life!
POE MUST NOT BE SOME MASOCHISTIC SIMULATOR OF HUMAN PAIN FOR GGG!!!
I'm fine with the upper echelon of players not printing mirrors. It's the same for everyone after all. Didn't really notice a difference in ssf. Limiting the things that feel profitable is pretty poor I suppose.

Most importantly though the mechanic of the league is the first league mechanic I don't interact with since poe beta. Unrewarding, anoying tileset, anoying with tileset spawning in front of you.
So what does MASSIVELY mean?

We had like 11000% loot drops from League Content in 3.18 and you nerfed it to 300-400%

Does MASSIVELY mean its like 9000%?

This league really has been a shitshow.
Uniques that were 1C last league are 3-4 Divines this league and with a Divine = ~120C thats a 40000-50000% increase in cost for the same item.
april fools
I just do not understand the logic of literally any of the item changes, or harvest changes.

This game is built around the 3-month leagues. Yes standard exists but it is an afterthought to majority of the playerbase. The game SHOULD be balanced around softcore trade league, always and forever. Self imposed challenges like hardcore or SSF are player choice and they are nice to have but should not even be a consideration when doing balancing.

That being said, in a game with literally hundreds if not thousands of builds you can play, that prides itself on constantly releasing new skill gems each league etc. Why is it a constant goal of GGG for it to take an entire league for you to MAYBE finish ONE character?

You would think with all the effort they put into build diversity it would be a goal of theres to allow you to experiment with multiple different builds each league. Instead you are pigeon holed into the one build you chose from the start otherwise are penalised for it for the remainder of the league.

GGG, let the players build the characters they want to play. Focus on content to make playing those eventual overpowered characters actually fun. Do not try to limit our access to content by nerfing items. It is a terrible way to design a GAME.
THATS NOTHING! LITERALLY NOTHING! Do you even play the game?

Just REVERT The entire thing and do it quickly! - This is still nothing compared to what you removed, you didnt even touch on all the Quant that have been removed, just gave a bit rarity back.

Its sad just plain SAD


If you know whats best for your game and wanna keep the community happy, just revert the entire Quantity and rarity change'

You could even win on that and take Archnemesis with it and give us back the old Nemesis mods and MORE people would be happy!

That would be a win for you!



- But lets see if you wanna keep this game going or kill it off entirely before PoE 2...



IF JUST!


You forgot to add, mirror shards will now drop as common as portal scrolls.

Just to tell you how horrible their thinking is, the one good thing about this patch was make uniques valuable by making them rarer and better. The rest is absolute cancer. This post tell you, the one thing that was good is what they want to change. They wanna keep all the garbage and fix what was a good change.

Having too many uniques drop make them worthless. It's fine if a very good body armor like The Covenant cost more than 5c.

You are trying to fix the only good thing about patch 3.19. Buff the power of unused uniques, make them rarer so when you find them the price checker tell you it's worth 5 divines instead of 5c.
