Further Update to Map-only Uniques

Seems like a decent change, now all you have to do is turn the switch off from the "Get no maps" button belonging to my account.

You know finally make going to the super end game worth something, and then u change it so any scrub with rarity and the docks waypoint can get the best items in the game again. FAIL!

I would agree you should not be able to get the best items in Docks. It's a level what, 62 zone. You should have to kill Piety and/or Dominus or do 68 maps for the best items. Having to play 74+ maps is ridiculous though. As solo, self-found, I'll probably never see 70/71 maps.


i agree with the first part.. not entirely. i think the only place that shavs and kaoms and the good uniques should drop is Dominus as he is a very hard fight. and if people want to they can always drop it in lvl 66 + maps. that would be ideal solution in my opinion. because i know alot of bots can run docks overnight even without playing which is quiet ridiculous. piety is a no no in my opinion because she is piss easy. 66 maps are also piss easy to get and there is like 99.9% chance of never running out of maps (of course low lvl maps) once you get like 10 x 66 maps. even while running blue maps. i know this from experience. and anyone can confirm this. if theres one thing we can all agree on is that there is always an abundant supply of lvl 66 maps XD and of course the benefit of running dominus for the hopes of acquiring the uniques is increased drop rate.. but that is debatable with well rolled maps.. except when farming dominus theres like 7 bosses all together.. no map has 7 bosses inside it

EDIT: saying you will never get to lvl 70-71 maps while playing solo is ridiculous my friend. those maps are easy to get and i find it hard to believe that you have never dropped them before.


I would agree Dominus should drop better than Piety, but aren't they both currently level 68? Also, I wouldn't be opposed to requiring 69/70 maps for the best items. But again, 74+ is ridiculous in my opinion. And yes, I've never seen a 69 or higher map. I have also never seen an eternal orb, mirror, or high-end rare/unique. I have seen 2 or 3 exalts drop in my play time, but none in the last Anarchy league or the current Domination league.

If you don't play solo, self-found, no trading... you really have no idea how hard it is to progress.

They listen to their softcore player base.. Not good for the game imho..


Over 75 % of the playerbase is on "softcore" not listening to 3 quarter of your player base would be a mistake, just realize you hardcore players are neither the majority nor special.

I agree with your post Chris, but if Kaoms isn't on the list of map only uniques, why is anything. Maybe just lower the ilvl required so it's not so prohibitive.


This.

So what's the motivation for running maps now?

Maps are much, much more risky and unpredicatable than farming Piety/Dominus. Also you can farm Piety and Dominus really fast, so even if the maps dropped the more stronger uniques with better chance, I'd still farm no-risk boss with incredible clear speed.

Im mainly solo player and i sell very little, my time spent on trade is maybe 1/25 of total gameplay; this said, i wansn't pissed at all with the fact that certain uniques could drop only on high maps; in fact, i was MOTIVATED.

Motivated to farm more, to have a better equip, to have that damn 5L (i'm running 72-73 maps in Nemesis with 4L, LOL); all players should be motivated to farm and play with map only drops, not pissed or frustrated. If you're not motivated, then you don't like to farm, if you don't like to farm, this game isn't for you. Simple


By "farm more" you mean "trade more", right?

If 75% of people start to jumping through the windows you would join them? My dad always said, dont be a sheep Peter, try to use your own reasoning.. Thats what GGG should do too, unfortunetly they need to sell cosmetic effects to theit softcore audience, cant blame them.. Its just a pitty for the game I like.

In PoE, even Softcore can be actualy pretty much hardcore. :D Especialy when you only play solo + selffound/self crafted. Compared to this, even hardcore is easy if you play there mostly in groups and trade your items.
I play softcore only to prevent stress (want to play for relaxing, not for a challenge) but I respect everyone that plays hardcore solo+selffound, that's really a hard combination imho and you need a high frustration tolerance (that I don't have).

66-69 maps are trash Tier now running them is actually pointless, you can just go trade 2 win and buy 70 maps right away as those lower maps grant nothing piety runs or domiuns runs cant grant you.
