Improvements to Item Drops

The big takeaway is that people need to stop parroting youtubers.

There are a lot of people claiming that loot was nerfed by 90%. What is this nonsense? It is incredibly out of touch.

Unique drops have been noticeably less common this league, but currency, maps, cards, rares still drop in abundance. I was able to farm a full set of Chains That Bind cards in no more than a dozen maps, which is about the same that it's taken in past leagues.

If you weren't doing triple beyond shenanigans, you're not affected nearly as much as these content creators want you to think. Now, of course it sucks for those who were into that playstyle, but the outrage is far too big to only be caused by this group.

This isnt solving anything, you are missing the point

So basically the drops where nerfed by 90%, which makes them 10% of the old rate. 10% x 125% "Buff of this Patch" = 12,5 % of old drops.

I do not understand, how this is supposed to help and why the rates where nerfed in the first place.
The whole economic situation with MFers enabled more casual players to actually progress their build, because build enabling uniques where provided in greater number and thus cheaper.
This is just stalling the progress of everyone, hurting the casuals with less play time the most. And on top of that remove juiced maps as an endgame goal of many players.

GGG right now be like:
Do you guys not have drop?

After playing a few maps. THIS is how PoE should feel. Kill monsters, get loot. DOPAMINE!!!!

Thank you again for listening to the community.

I bet your tongue is brown from all that licking.

You boys know that a 25 percent increase in zero is still zero, right?

FIX THE LOOT.

For those who still don't get it , this is just a fraction of what they really nerfed. They throw us some scraps after they fck up so badly and expect us to be like YEEEEEYYYYYYYY . WTF GGG we are grown up ppl not the kids that play Roblox.
Fix your shit up and bring the stuff back from 3.19 . Harvest even if you double the amount of craft is still shit after you removed all the juice stuff from it.
I still cant understand how after 6 mouths of planning since 3.18 did not bring that much you fck up so much .
Just a big disappointment !!!

Except, you're all acting like the kids that play Roblox.
Just all congregate and cry loudly together hoping to force change.
Why can't you just adapt instead of throwing a tantrum?

You’re one of those guys that have 5links on half your characters with a bunch of shitty uniques, which is fine. Clearly a lot of us enjoy crafting min maxed gear for our builds. Some of us enjoy aiming for HH or MB. And yeah a lot of us don’t have the time to grind 2 weeks to get 5 alchs. The game we love has become a copy of Diablo 2, which is shit in todays time. You can go and chill in your t8 maps with ur poison moltenstrike assa, the rest of us actually wanna play the endgame though. That goes to all the dxxbfxxks that think the game being slow as shit is and therefor going 20+ years back in time is a good thing. You don’t think so? Look at the 2 patches they brought out back to back.
YOU GUYS ARE A MINORITY
Deal with it.

Back to topic

Poe feels like work and not like fun, that’s the biggest issue here. Even going slow and relaxed feels like shit since you get pounded by some white mobs. In no world should you get oneshotted with deter, dif banner and brass dome. In my opinion for that specific circumstance there is no excuse.
Also making essence monster as tanky as they are is unacceptable (shootout to the vid @DSLilly made).


Im fine with reduced droptates, I’m fine with less currency overall.
I am VERY HAPPY groupplay got gutted. In my opinion there should not be a reward system being so stupidly strong for groupplayer.
I like archnem, the numbers HAVE to be adjusted.
Harvest HAS to be more accessible in the early stages of the game. Nerf it all you want for super endgame crafts. Make the reforge influence 100k for all the fucks I give. BUT hear Progression HAS to be accessible for the everyday joe, WHO CANNOT PLAY 14H A DAY! That’s the biggest thing.

This is too little. And to late already sold all my gear and called it quits for the season. Fuck mods like mana siphon and drought bringer and whatnot.

To many shit things that just cancel builds. And I don't even know what they all do. Not really interested in the game enough to figure it out either. God who wants too?

Archnemesis is my big issue tbh. Again GGG being too stubborn with difficulty in the game.

I can make the loot system work as a single player. I can do builds that might not be as powerful with the loot system.

But that idea is doomed from the start because of Archnemesis. Weaker builds are a pain to get started. Like totally unfun to get started.

You make a thing called a "video game" in the entertainment industry. At their core they are meant to be fun. Not like going to work. Think the devs at GGG need to go play Super Mario on the snes or even Metroid Prime Gamecube. To get a feel for a fun and somewhat hard but fun game.

Or do a legacy server or something that people can pay for. Would I pay a fee to play an old league for three months SSF? Even though I don't play SSF?

Yes.
