Improvements to Item Drops

not enough .

not enough .

Nowhere near good enough.

Most uniques are rubbish. I rarely use them. The best items are always crafted rares in general. I didn't mind one bit that unique drops were heavily nerfed, I tend to off them to a vendor for alc shards.

Rarity is fairly pointless. So more rares and uniques will drop. Well we've dealt with uniques and they were mostly rubbish. Almost all rares that drop on the ground are also rubbish. You might occasionally find good prefixes or good suffixes on a good base. Chances are though even if that item did exist in your drops we won't have identified it as we only care for the base and its ilvl. Most rares that end up in the inventory just get vendored again. Do we really want even more rares to drop? It's not like rarity affects currency drops, or even the possible tiers you can find on rare items.

We farm bases and currency in general. After that we craft what we want, or at least we used to because every time you give us good or half-good crafting a patch or two later you wreck it. You've ruined crafting by gutting harvest and making metamods cost an item that is now simply just a lucky drop as there's one card (from a boss), no shards and no vendor recipe to gain that currency, whereas exalts had about half a dozen cards and shards dropped from harbis or in heist (or ritual or tujen).

You've decimated currency drops. Multiplying that now very poor drop chance by 25% still leaves a very poor drop chance. You've ruined crafting. You've removed all of the most important harvest crafts. I can't see now how I can improve gears to be good enough to take on the overly powerful rare mobs which tend to be worse than bosses.

Mega-fed up.

But sure.

This! Other than that, still SHIT changes. 'i took it all from you, and now we will give you some little shit back'.

Come on GGG, COME ON!

You have destroyed the game with your constant tinkering.

what a joke

At this point it honestly feels like GGG believe their playerbase is mentally challenged.

You don't need to know anything beyond simple percentage math to realize how ridiculous these "improvements" are.

I feel insulted tbh.

I've only been playing for one league, and I had a total blast!

I was really looking forward to getting stuck into this league
& playing for many more years in future.


After watching you arrogantly throw your community crumbs & spit in our faces like this though, I'm gutted, and the only reason I haven't already left is because I'm hoping this utter mountain of feedback coming your way actually gets listened to.

Do you even play your own game? These changes are negligible, a joke.

Wow. Thank you for actually listening and changing what you may have not seen as best for the games in your own eyes. I had said before that you needed to be generous, and right now it seems like you were.

Ive got to say this puts you at the top tier of developers. Because all devs will make mistakes, but the best ones will fix them and listen to the community.

You guys have always been very open with the direction and changes to the game. that's why this felt like more of a betrayal. Please continue to be open with us, that will help show we really can trust you.

You have proven that for me at least, but this was a blow. The fact that you fixed it and have done so well in the past fully restores my faith in your direction of the game. Keep up the good work!
