Feedback : Path of exile needs a new chase currency. Corrupted Mirror of Kalandra

You guys should seriously consider adding what I would call and describe as the following:

The corrupted mirror of Kalandra
Drop rate and drop design. Split it into 1/3 pieces that drop.
Drop 1/3 a corrupted mirror of kalandra at a rate of whatever half a mirror is.
So to get 1/3 a corrupted mirror of kalandra takes twice as long as to farm a mirror.

Design: this item when all 3 pieces combined is capable of copying any item in the game including corrupted items.

Result : profit, more eyeballs, more fun.

Now I’m not saying you guys gotta reward me for this idea, but if I logged in and found a corrupted mirror of Kalandra I wouldn’t tell anyone 😜

All jokes aside the corrupted mirror of Kalandra is a slam Dunk addition to the game as long as drop rate is figured out. You can’t make them so common they disrupt economy harshly. But having that as a chase item would be lit.

If you guys are super worried about it distorting economy just make the item you use the corrupted mirror of kalandra to make untradable.

If it’s untradable they can’t be injected back into economy and locked on account.

Also if you guys want to prevent massive mirror service fees from corrupted mirror service you could add a benefit for the person who has the origin item. Maybe a random chance to add an implicit to the origin item only. Could be a silly implicit like 1% flask charges, 1% weapon swap speed, 1% any stat that isn’t inherently going to improve the item to a drastic degree.

The opportunity to make the origin item even stronger will offset the mirror fee.

Anyway I’m not Ted, but this has been a short talk.

What...

How many Mirrors have you ever seen drop? I've spoken to people with 10k hours in poe1 and they never got one.

And you suggest a "chase item" that requires 3 parts where each part is twice as rare as a mirror?

You do know this game is made for seasons, yea?

If GGG wants to add something, it should be something with LESS RNG, not more

Mirrors aren’t anywhere near as uncommon in poe2 first of all.

Second of all seasonal chars can be moved to the regular realm.

Third of all a long term goal beyond a mirror of kalandra is a good idea, and making that long term goal item actually capable of copying BIS items is just smart play.

Right now a mirror of Kalandra says it can copy any item in game, it can’t.

Mirror of Kalandra can’t copy corrupted items. Meaning actual BIS gear can’t be copied. So what’s the point of mirror of Kalandra?

Rn mirror of kalandra works as a way to copy great items. But that’s the best it will ever do.

If after 10,000 hours of poe2 I can copy 1 actual BIS item in the eternal realm I don’t think it’s gonna cause huge tears.

Also there’s an aspect of this you wouldn’t ever consider, guilds.

If I have a guild of 250 people we gonna farm a lot of currency. The corrupted mirror of Kalandra would allow a real guild to operate and grow in a meaningful manner.

And if you drop 1/3 corrupted mirror of Kalandra I bet it would be a premium trade currency in any league.

As long as the game doesn’t flood with tons of the corrupted mirror of Kalandra on the market, it will have little to no change to the market except expanding possibilities and growth potential for every single player at once.

It’s a no lose all win idea. Provided the correct drop rate is researched and used.

And another note on guilds specifically. Poe2 devs expect me to pay $220 to get to 250 guild slots. Which is fine if I had more guild management tools. More than 3 assignable ranks in the guild as well. If I have 250 people I want 6 assignable ranks at least.

As if "real guilds" don't already grow and operate in a "meaningful manner" by basically having a complete monopoly on mirror crafting gear.

All I see is yet another item that is unobtainable by regular players.

If you're so hardcore that you need more than a regular mirror to hunt for, you're not looking at the actual issues of the game. More hyper-rich-people items won't help the game whatsoever. If anything, it'll make it worse.

I mean it's your feedback. I'm just giving feedback to your feedback.

What’s the point of playing the game if you don’t ever earn the currency to get or make the gear you want.

All the corrupted mirror of Kalandra does is add more freedom and control to every players trajectory path.

By distributing the item into 3 pieces you actually have a situation where regular players are gonna trade it for tons of currency to actually upgrade their gear or make new gear.

it would literally be a currency sink that caters to the average players advantage.

What would need to happen is a PR campaign about it as a new drop. That way as many people as possible know how rare it is. Selling 1/3 of it would end up being a huge bidding war between the very people who take the most from the average player.

And you guys are acting like getting let’s say 500 div is life changing. 500 div won’t even promise you a full perfect build. On a single character. lol.

What none of you understand is an actual perfect build is like 10,000 div + especially for builds that are underpowered to start with. The more underpowered it is to start with the more expensive perfecting it will end up being.

If I wanted to make a perfect variant of my pathfinder build it’s literally 50,000 div+

Adding an item that at 3/3 will probably cost 1,500 div isn’t gonna break the game or even impact it in any meaningful negative way unless they make it too common a drop.

The only variable that can induce negative consequences is how rare they make it and it’s only possible to be negative if it’s way too common or way to rare.

And if they make the item the corrupted mirror of Kalandra makes untradable that’s gonna drive away RMT more than you think. Way more than you think. Yes the RMT sellers would bidding war for the 1/3 pieces. But the thing is what happens when they sell it for RMT? Easy ban? Currency gone from system item gone from system? As long as the person who sells the 1/3 piece doesn’t get banned it’s a smooth way to get ez snipes on RMT accounts.

Once RMT learn they get ban waved for selling and upset customers they won’t touch the item and only real players will.

All my ideas are 11 dimensional chess. Just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up

Corrupted Mirror of Kalandra... Oh God.

How about they just bring back Hinekora's Lock, Veiled Orb and Fracturing Orb?
Corrupted Mirror of Kalandra doesn't make any sense. I know, loot pool is too small right now and only expensive currency that we can drop is Divine Orb (Perfect Jeweler is too cheap for it's rarity right now and let's just don't talk about Mirrors). Bringing back currency from poe 1 and divination cards will expand the raw loot pool enough.

The abomination orb

I don’t get the gripe, it’s the same as a mirror of kalandra but actually does what the mirror says it can do. Whats the big deal?

You guys are acting like this will destroy the game when it’s just a slightly improved mirror of kalandra. Wild takes

And it’s really just adding an item to do what mirror of Kalandra says it can do

-1

Mirror of Kalandra is dumb to begin with and doesn't even need to exist, much less a 2nd mirror item. Mirror of Kalandra basically only exists to further enable and incentivize broken farming/trading strats and RMT.

"chase currency" give me a break.
