In my opinion getting 6-linked is still too much inaccessible. I know... economy this and economy there. But I don't like actual state when you have to spend SO MUCH!!! currency to run skill on its full potential.
Price difference between 5-linked and 6-linked is just sick. Getting 6-linked is one of most expensive things in the game.

I am running more characters and my main needs 6-link 3X. But I also need to buy other expensive stuff. So never I guess. :(

Please make it for at least 1000 fus. Even this is insane cost for me.

All these people who think if you get a 6L suddenly there is no reason to play the game? I have a novel concept for you it's called making a new character. PoE has hundreds of possible viable builds why not experience others as well?

150 fuses for a 5L.
That's 600 jews at vendor.
That's 1200 alts.

On a good average, identified blue items yield 4 shards.
That's almost 5000 items you have to loot,
identify, vendor, and upgrade those orbs from alts to jews to fusings.


Have fun in the new "self found" league.
That's a pretty brutal demand for a simple 5L, which doesn't turn anyone into proGodMode.
How about you lower that 5L cost to something a LITTLE BIT more reasonable, like 40 fuses?

How many 5links did you craft with less than 40 fusings? What would be the point in using the traditional fuse way then?

6L should be hard to get, the end game mod. Not 5L.

Making a 5L too hard to obtain is nothing more than admitting the game is broken and shallow.
5L doesn't make you immortal, it only makes you a little bit offensive or defensive.
It's not a "infinite ammo/life/immortality autowin item". It's a simple 5L item.
Even a 6L isn't doesn't do that.

So, if you design a game around the fact that obtaining a 5-6L is the hardest and rarest achievement, equal to winning, then you have no actual fucking GAME! You have a LOTTERY.
And that's not what a ARPG should be. RNG should be a part of it, but not the center of it!

"Well I guess he has the most dpd, maximum support gems linked in 6 sockets.
Nothing more to see or do here" --- *flies away* ---
Is that anyones idea of a good, deep game?? I hope not.

As I suggested in other posts, Linked gear should be far more common, and have a level req.
lvl 1-9 0L, 10-19 2L, 20-29 3L, 30-39 4L, 40-49 5L and lvl 50-100 6L.
Progressive learning curve and resource management, also giving you something to look forward and motivate players to hit that next tier lvl to unlock more linked sockets.

The game should focus on working out complex and rewarding freestyle combos, more different build with a greater variation and cross over designs. Redesign gems, skills, the passive tree... but instead of working on those things, the most interesting aspects this game has to offer, we are all forced to focus on *winning the lottery by crafting the big one*.

6L has almost reached a unquestionable status of a semi god that everyone blindly worships and desires without really even knowing what for. I don't care about anyones opinions, because the truth is, this is not a good design for a ARPG game, it's a good design for a Lottery. And if that's what you want, you shouldn't be here but at a gas station buying those tickets.

Price are pretty good imo.
But for a 5L i Will always try tu fuse myself because on my last 3 item 6socket i used fusing i got 6L before even 5L on 2 of them lol

I hope their is same kind of craft for make 6socket

People still think they _NEED_ a 6L to play the game and they're entitled to get one CHEAP.

Incredible................

so true . . .

Most of the builds I play require a 9 link. Considering that I spend at least twelve minutes of my day playing PoE, I deserve a cheap Eleven Link for my Spinal Tap summoner.

Instead of spending time working on the spectator mode, which 1/100 ppl will use , it would be more needed to make other's gear inspection in town available, 100/100 would use.

They will never allow players to spy other's gears in town. Our items are part of our builds and we should have the option to hide them, if we wish so.

understood. But there's the other people, (i thought everyone) who wants to show off not only with their microtransaction-looks , but with their items, and also some are curious about other's gear in town or in a party.

So this isn't that bad feature, just this option could be shut off in the account's privacy settings easily if you don't want your gear to be seen for others. Everyone starts with this option shut off, later they can enable..

How are 150 fusings hard to get? I don't get it. You should 5 link a decent item,not every chest you find.

Who is forcing you to waste 1500 fusings? GGG?
Nobody is forcing you to waste that much, if you think is a waste of fusing you can save 100 fusing or 500 fusing and TEST YOUR LUCK , thats all.

you joined less than a month ago.. play this fruitless game for a year and then talk. right now you a) are on a smurf account b) enjoy the benefits gained trough 'other means' if you think that current situation is 'ok'

1500 fusings is MONTHS of grind (of few days of trade or 5 minutes with a plastic). keeping this prices ggg pushes players in the the most 'efficient' ways of obtaining things

+100 this!

The whole point is that 6L is a luxury (for most builds), not a requirement. If you're setting up a character that requires a 6L, and you know you can't or won't be able to afford it, that's just bad decision-making.

I can tell these prices were not created with non traders and non farmers in mind.

What a shame, another expansion i wont enjoy much about, reminds me of the Atziri fight i will never witness myself.

If you aren't trading or farming (aka grinding), aRPGs probably aren't for you. This has always been a game designed to reward both the hardcore players, while still providing a measure of accessibility for the more casual players. Aka, 5L.

Like I keep saying, 6L is luxury, not a requirement.
