Ritual / Audience drop rates - feedback
|
So, after seeing a random audience with the king in ritual and dying on the last shrine I have target farmed ritual for 4 days now to get another, around 12 hrs a day but I have yet to see another audience. I fully cleared and refreshed every ritual except 1 or 2. I have completed around 100-150 ritual maps in those 4 days.
If the audience with the king is supposed to be that rare, it is terribly balanced & the 50% more audience node being hidden behind 2 successful king of the mist encounters is terrible design. If the drop rate is that low because of his chase items, make the items more rare and the audience more common. How is a casual player supposed to be able to get atlas skill points? I couldnt get a single one in ~50hrs of non stop play, which is insane. And if its a bug I am encountering, please fix it. tl:dr I target farmed ritual for about 50 hours straight, without encountering a single audience. It is the only means of getting atlas skill points. Please rebalance its drop rate. Last bumped on Jan 31, 2025, 10:06:48 AM

I farmed it non stop almost 91 atm and never saw it once. As far as im concerned it dont exist.
They have to seriously buff it otherwise there is no point in having the mechanic tied to upgrading the ritual atlas tree as its impossible unless you buy all your rituals. |

" Literally had 10 of these drop in a single 6 hour session, don't see what you're complaining about, it's RNG. The value needs to be kept high because the items the boss drops are obscenely powerful. |

That's the issue. A boss encounter should not be RNG based. And if so there should be a pity system. I mean POE 2 has went full Gacha mechanics. Might as well add the only good thing that gacha offers. Saying it's not a problem because you have gotten good luck when vast numbers of people do not is lacks the awareness that the more people with bad luck keep getting disappointment after disappointment. Then when full release comes around there won't be a player base left. Because there are enough videos and posts about the issues with drops that is already making the people that were waiting to play consider not playing.

+1. Dumb mechanic.

I agree it is hard to find, but once you do find it and clear the boss - the points on the atlas tree help boost the omen drop rate.
I think it's just unclear to many players that you can reroll the ritual alter - and that once you fill out the atlas passive you boost the omen drop rate quite a lot; but before you can do that it can be very hard to get the audience. |

I have intentionally tried to avoid buying the boss keys.
So far Ritual is the only one that I have no points it at level 96. I expect 90%+ of the players will never see the content without flat out buying the key. Even players who could easily clear the boss fight are denied entry to it through a tedious RNG ritual grind. Yeah I get that it gets easier with 4 points in the tree, but I've been trying to avoid "buying my way" through the content - and ritual is the only part that I've found to be absolutely miserable. |

agree, over 200+ hours played and still not a single audience bruh

I should be changed to not getting a full "key" but a 1/10 fragment and that regularly.
