Further Update to Map-only Uniques

People really shouldn't be thanking and praising them. This all is very disturbing to think that they actually thought this was good for the game.

This whole thing just shows how much they have to learn. Things of this magnitude will happen again.

they are just trying to make high lvl maps interesting, but they did wrong.

I hope, they will learn with this mistake.

They already kill ES Melee build with vall pact at the bottom of the passive tree, it should be interesting to not destroy build diversity.

Interesting. Although I will say I'm not a fan of this system.

Edit. The item level should be displayed on the uniques or something. For a game whose worked so hard on making descriptions be so specific. This goes against the grain.

Quoted from the now locked thread. If an item requires a higher level than the base item, why don't you just increase the required equip-level, thus making the required item-level clearly visible? As it is now it's a guessing game which unique can drop from what monster level.

Also: I'm quite confused by the list of items that became map-drops only. Rathpith Globe level 74, Aegis Aurora outside of maps. Devoto's Devotion level 74, Bringer of Rain outside of maps. Weird, from a power level perspective.

Good change. Would like to see more support for solo players, but this is a step in the right direction.

Honestly, for all the "hardcore" people complaining about this... you aren't hardcore. Hardcore, at least to me, is about being good at a game, e.g. an FPS, R1 player/top world raider in WoW, good dota player, etc., or even D2 in some ways (I miss being able to dodge spells and arrows and shit in D2 vs every other ARPG ever). The only way to be "hardcore" in an ARPG, to me, is by actually playing the hardcore leagues.

Just playing nonstop for weeks and months doesn't make you hardcore. If I play 1/10 as much as you do, as long as I'm doing similar content, I should have 1/10 the wealth of you, +/- RNG. That's just how ARPGs work. Artificially gating power (a la before this change) is a poor mechanic to me, and deludes people who play nonstop into being entitled or thinking they are good.

Don't mean to sound so harsh, but that's just how I see it. (I actually like to see people who are nolifers in games... it's an indication the game is in a healthy state, as ironic as that may sound!)

Instead of increasing the drop of uniqs, increase the drop rate of high lvl maps and give to everyone the oportunity of finding a nice uniq inside them.

I like this one.

Mainly playing solo, and playing nearly everyday since closed beta and never dropped a higher map than 73.
Being a unique collector, I would be highly disappointed if the uniques i'm missing in my collection can only be dropped on maps I won't ever be able to enter or would cost 200 exalts each of farming to buy from another player...
Uniques that were created to be "build enablers" needs to be accessible before "very end of the end-game"

I love the fact that GGG made it that not only the "hardcore" players that can farm maps all day, will enjoy the best loots. With enough time spent, everyone can have fun and have access to this end-game items.


Thank you GGG.

It must feel terrible playing SO MUCH and NEVER drop anything.. Hopefully GGG will help you out, you are supporters and deserve better.. Highest maps and uniques for everyone.. Mabye they should be purchasable in GGG shop??

Its not like uniques are the best gear in the game anyway. High level rare availability won't change and that's what matters the most tbh.
