Item Affix Changes

"
Qarl, can you confirm if this will be added in with the next patch on tuesday?


This will be in the next patch, which is intended for Tuesday.

You do realize that adding higher mod tiers and higher ilvls is effectilvely increasing the level cap and obsoleting gear, right? GGG has in the past used "no level cap increases obsoleting gear" as a perk of this game...

This leaves room for higher tiers of some of the most useful mods in the game. These end-game mods serve as lofty goals for the greatest of exiles.


You do understand this is power creep 101? Something you said you'd never do?

What the hell happened to this company?:/

No mod action. Business as usual.
Qarl, could you please elaborate on on the motivation behind this change?

Given that the higher tier affixes are miniscule increases in what we have now, I would assume that they do not have any significant impact on gameplay. They do, however, dramatically reduce the value of current 6*T1 items. Is this what you intend to do with this change?

I strongly believe that you loose a lot of credibility and support with this change unless there is a very strong and well reasoned motivation.

That's not a bad thing, at least not for 99.9% of the players.

Nah, no need to worry about that. People will forget and get over it eventually. It happens after every big patch in every big game. Not unique to POE.

I'm also curious what the motivation might be. The most plausible one is to reset the mirror service market but it seems like a feeble solution. Situation will quickly settle back into what they are today, me thinks.
