Announcements - Further Update to Map-only Uniques - Forum

Wait so is Soul Taker a map only unique? Have I been wasting my chance orbs lately?	Posted by DigitalMP#4508 on Nov 6, 2013, 10:15:15 AM Quote this Post
In my opinion there needs to be a reason to run/spend crazy amounts of currency rolling high level maps other than blind luck you run into 1 of 7 unique items. I understand the XP is decent up there but I doubt 99 percent of the population is going to be grinding past 82 anyways. I think something as simple as you get a "token" for killing shrine Piety (or other 77,78 maps bosses) and you can use 20, 30, 40 "tokens" or whatever number balances to "purchase" a shavs/kaoms/grasp, ect... You could even put the vendor in a unique map. Dudes playing a 70 hours a week can grind their way to awesome gear, it's would get a bit more of these items out in the public for people who are grinding currency, and it would give you a solid reason to want to craft those maps.

Docks and archives farmers still have great access to currency drops to be able to purchase the best uniques with enough grinding. Risk/reward. I agree with you to a certain extent, however I still believe that having the map system dependent upon currency/RNG is a flawed system. If a player (at say level 70) were awash in currency and didn't have a use for it, then the maps would be a great mechanic as they require a tremendous investment and as a result would serve to be a great sink. But since the entirety of PoE is one large continuous currency sink, that really isn't the case with most players - particularly solo players - who have to scrape to get by and who will simply never be able to experience the map content on any satisfactory level. Yes, you can grind your way to a high level map as a solo player, but the amount of time invested in order to do so totally outweighs (typically) whatever reward the player stands to receive from participating in the map. I think a much better system would be to allow EVERYONE to participate in the map system, and then have some maps be incredibly rare - those maps would then be what everyone is trying to find while grinding the 'standard' maps. YES :D	Posted by kamil449#0348 on Nov 6, 2013, 10:20:49 AM Quote this Post
I agree with the sentiment that some of the best items should only drop from maps, but not from maps higher than 71-72. IGN: Ironmallet	Posted by Ironmallet#5457 on Nov 6, 2013, 10:21:48 AM Quote this Post

IDK if these items only came fromm 70+ maps, but 78? That's ridiculous, especially when HC/SC are already filled with the "good" legacy versions.

I like maps - why are they incenting players more and more to do something else? I can get loot faster farming piety... and now I'll be able to get the same level of unique too? All they have to do now is pump her item level up a couple more points (or make Dominus easier) and the mapping I do will literally become spending currency on harder content for the same reward. Why should people do this? Isn't the reason GGG made difficulty mandatory (instead of taking many games' you-set-the-difficulty option) to make harder content more rewarding?
