What Happened with Items

RETURN 3.18 HARVEST RECIPES!

IF I was playing any other builds I would've been reckt 100 times over. Guess I'll go back to lost ark and ultima online for now.

for me it's still bad

Respect to you Chris.

I'm aghast. You acknowledge the devastating consequences of "in passing" game design and then immediately use the 50-divine drop example to illustrate foundational loot game design. Again you did this "in passing" and did not do diligence - those loot drops are supported by 3rd-party cheat tools.

Well, now we understand how design is done and why the game is annoying and frustrating instead of fun.

When was the last time that anyone in GGG played this game? No one cares about vision when u, and no one else, made the game the way it is and then u just cut our legs and think that is ok... the game is pure trash...i have no idea how a company can think anyone is ok with that.

i'm at almost 2000hrs playtime in PoE and this sounds like a fever dream to me.

It's done with 3rd-party cheat tools.

PoE used to be a game about difficulty. You worked for what you wanted to achieve and you had to use your knowledge of the game to reach your own goal.

For the last few years the game has been mostly a cakewalk and a lot of the streamers are just so used to easy free loot and insanely free crafting. I think that has changed the dynamic of the game a lot and it goes against the core of what attracted me to this game all those years ago in Talisman HC league.

Please don't give in to the people that want PoE to be just another generic and boring free loot simulator. Having to grind and problem solve is what made PoE great and why I have stuck around for so many years.

This patch has been amazing and feels closer to that problem solving game I fell in love with. You did some amazing things with 3.19 please don't abandon them because of a few entitled people.

INCOMPETENCE

Did few heists in area 82-83 solo, my character has defensive auras and do few millions DPS.
This is a completely frustrating rip lottery, alot of stress, for PEANUTS.

This is 100 times worse than before, totally disgusting fail of balance, corrections, difficulty etc... When i think i wasted hours polishing my item filter

Then i see how they cracked it with party and mechanics :





Bankrupt is your only way.

Main problem is that any global change with loot NEED testing many days. Only AFTER testing go to real servers. Now we see that all this changes with drop was not testing well, all Chris and team do just say game looks good, all fine, but that not true. Facepalm
