What Happened with Items
Is this just a shit dream of mine or what ?
They will never listen Players are gone i cant even sell my items | |
Tainted currency is garbage. It's too rare to make an investment in them worth using. There's been youtube videos of people using 8 tainted fusing and not getting anything linked. It's not worth using if you can already guarantee links using vaal orbs from the craft bench. It takes 300 jeweler's orbs to create a 6 link, yet I have only found one tainted jeweller's orb since league start.
Thanks for replacing Beyond which had one of the best League mechanics with this. Also Chris's posts talk about 6man teams creating loot explosions, but ignores the fact that many solo players also create loot explosions with the same mechanics (Beyond, Delirium, scarabs). His post seems to say mea culpa but we're not changing anything...that's not what we want to hear and why we play the game. |

Running a game, no, running a company is hard. Running a game, is even harder. Communication errors happen, and deadlines push stress and reduce clarity resulting in departments missing things. Clearly they regret this, and are noticing where information isn’t reaching the right people with enough time to act.
Chris, I am extraordinarily impressed with your humility, and that you took the target and placed it on your back. It was already there because of how the more toxic people in the community view your leadership. The ironic thing, is that you doing this and taking the blame, makes you the opposite of what they think you are, Thank you for being so strong, and for finally admitting fault in this fashion. It was needed, and I greatly appreciate your post and intentions. Thank you to the whole team for pushing so hard to fix the mistakes. I wanted to voice that I am enjoying the game right now after the changes you made, and find content to be plenty rewarding. I think the rewards have swayed and people haven’t started playing the newly rewarding content yet to notice. I still do think that beyond was nerfed too hard. Investing in beyond on the tree should allow for an extra beyond boss or two to spawn. And for extra chance for beyond to be on your map. Then, tainted currencies desperately need buffed, at least to half of what they were nerfed. Tainted fusing are actually a joke. Thanks again, I hope to see some more changes in areas I haven’t seen you mention yet, but I greatly appreciate you as developers, and your leadership in this moment Chris. |

Big wall of text. Big wall of nothing. You try to explain, but we don't need your explanations. We need you to LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERS and fix the game! This league is a major fuckup. Fortunately I didn't buy supporter pack this league, as it would be a waste of money.

The loot changes didnt affect me in the first days, had multiple chaos drops, found a 6 Link chest and was just playing limited due time.
I like the idea you tried to make. I just didn't like that it wasn't clearly in the patch notes or manifesto. At the end is PoE unique and thats why i love coming sometimes back to the game and just enjoy the systems we have here. I saw alot of streamers complaining hard and it almost looked like they were pushing themself so hard into negativity.. but then i closed their streams and listened to music while playing :D. GL on the road | |
Why is nobody paying attention to the real root of the problem?
TIME! The 3 month release rythm is simply too short to test things out. GGG, i know you have to pay your payrolls, but dont be greedy and risk losing a beautiful game and playerbase! | |
Some points i do not understand here,
If you want IIQ / IIR bonuses to be the main sources for loot why does the Lake of Kalandra do not have any quantity scaling? Instead the best rewards come from chests. This would also explain why i'm seeing people running simulacrum and the wave says "scarab rewards" but its not dropping a single scarab, how is that a thing? I've seen a clip of a MF character, 160 Quantity on gear (thats not achieveable outside of standard) With Scarab Deli orbs while not holding any scarabs at all. It makes no sense to put reward types on league content like deli orbs / simulacrum waves but not dropping them at all. And my favorite quote: "While we took away the extreme juice opportunity, we added a dedicated reward for Beyond: Tainted Currency Items." - Well we all know what a reward tainted currencys is Its hard to call it even a reward right now. They rather just dont drop anything then. Also, content is hard theese days, character building is very strict. Caring about item quantity outside of juicing (like i.E. gear wise) is the last thing i would ever think about. It's hard enough to gear for a defence/offence balance right now. Yes, for items be good on the ground they have to drop less and in higher quality, but right now its just 1400 armorer scraps dropping from a single rare monster. Thats the exact opposite. I think the state of loot is just not ready to have a justification of much less stuff dropping. | |
Suggestion:
Return normal Rares and normal loot droprates and put BALANCED AN on Mapbosses. Now that would be fun! Get a tough Bossfight at the end of the map with a chance of getting good loot from the mapboss. | |
K it's completely rippy and the reward is just bad for being stressed getting one shot. I stop to play this game. Goodbye.

" Haha, exactly what I found out today as well. Items that usually sells like butter. Nobody wants them. The market crashed totally as well. |
