I don't either, it's why I don't use them. Maybe when you move out of your parents basement you will understand money doesn't magically fall from the sky, and someone has to pay to keep servers running.

Let's be real. 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.

Thx for info, I live alone. My mom and dad already passed out..

I dont think i agree with you dude about the disadvantage of GGG's update. But +1 for u since i read all your reply and i find you kinda supportive and emotional + passionate for this game. This all we need to keep up the community.


As a solo-er+ 1000 runs+ piety farmer + a mapper + a map maker, I find this change kinda acceptable, except the thing : Rolling high map and 76+ only for golden boyssssss. Its not fair but its the fact, both in game and real life.


Want to be wealthy enough? Want to farm those high valued- unique? ---> WORK HARD, PLAY SMART, BE PATIENT and PRAY FOR RNG.

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?

The content (high level maps) isnt really hard in terms on difficulty for the most part, its just hard to reach because of RNG and flaws in the map system.

Maze Mod is the biggest problem , as it clearly doesnt add any difficulty and is deemed required now for most maps.

As long as the praying for RNG is the most important factor here, something is amiss, imho.

Should have just lowered the level cap, like have Kaoms/Shavs drop in 72 maps (not 78 like you said).

It;s not hard to get up to 72 maps, but to get to 75+ is very hard for lots of players.

Pray for RNG is the one thing that should be written in bold and be underlined from my personal experience. Because i did the other stuff without any luck.

Will there be an item level restriction for using Chance Orbs to obtain one of these map-only uniques, like Kaom's?

Omg lol, I've wasted so many chance orbs since the release then.

Honestly as someone who has played this game for countless hours in about almost every (non-hc leauge, cause I desync too much) this is my thoughts :

I have over 500% rarity most of the time, 300% atm but not lowlife and no andy's or rarity Flask yet.

This is what I think..

I have no problem with you making " VOidbattery + Montregul + Shavs or whatever Map only uniques..."

BUT.. don't make them ilvl 78, thats retarded, basically making almost every other map useless and have no value on a RNG based map system. Why can i find 4-5 maps in 1 72 map ( all 66-67) and then find no maps in those? or Run 5 73 + maps and no maps period? Its rng, I'm fine with it, But as someone with easily almost 400+% rarity, (had 500% last season) I take huge risks into dying alot because I'm not tanky.. but to make unique items that ARE build based ilvl 78 is too far.

Leave void battery + map only but ilvl 68+ like the game was intended, Why break something that is working and its the reason you have so many players. PLEASE PLEASSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't make the same mistakes Blizzard did, FOR EXAMPLE.

D2... top 5 best games ever made.. They ruined Diablo Franchise with Diablo3.. because they changed too much stuff on a game that wasn't broken.

PoE reminds me of my glory days back in highschool playing 8-10 hrs a day and making HUGE changes like this is what blizzard does and loses players.

I'm not even that upset about the items themselves, but the fact a company makes huge changes before saying.." hey, is this cool "?

The main reason, is thatchange won't affect your casual players much, but the hardcore players will be crushed when having to spend 4-6 exalts worth of maps to run 4 75-76+ maps to MAYBE find something is simply unaccetable.

STILL LOVE YOU GGG + POE :)~

The major issue is there are too many uniques and builds are done around uniques

In case of Shavronne, it's a mandatory piece for lowLife build.

Without this, lowlife build can't play in maps. There also can't kill Dominus or very harder because there is 1 mob with chaos.

I love LowLife build because it's the most original thing in this H&S.
And if i need to play a life based character to play maps and try to loot shav' before playing my main character, there is no sense.

And if i have absolutly no chance to loot it during piety run like before, i have now no motivation to play.

In standard league, i have drop kaom's heart during piety run in closed beta and i have trade it for shav'.

Please, think about this.

You have done a great work in 7 years. Don't destroy every thing in 2 weeks after the release...

I only have been in this community for 4 months, from a noob,I grew up, experienced things, do all kind of farming method, boss grind, weird things to make loot. Now i possess 100 ex in stash. I think we will eventually receive what we deserve for our contribution.
