What Happened with Items

this is the issue -
For example, the rarity bonus that was removed from a Red Beast was 750%. This sounds big, but a four-mod Archnemesis rare has a 41000% bonus

we dont care if its more rewarding when it takes 10 minutes and then drops an alchemy

that section was addressing the miscommunication of the word massive in a previous post, not "oh look how rewarding AN is"

You know what, Chris? Show us all YOU can play the game in this state and doing good. Take a day off, go on Twitch, and make us all go silent with your talent. Show us, the stupid plebs, how you play the game, how this game is meant to be played by the master of THE VISION.

I'm sure there will be tens of thousands of people eager to learn from the master how you can kill an AN rare in a red map using only some shizzy rares dropped by RNJesus for you (with normal drop rates, not with "help"), because you beat the crafting to death. And the loot. And, most important, THE FUN.

Until you do that, I will consider that either you have a massive (nice abused word, btw) lack of "weights" in your undies, or you love to lie to us again, and again, and again. No offense, of course.

PS I'm reposting this because i am tired of words. Show us YOU can do it.

For regular players who are just alching their maps and adding difficulty where they feel they can handle it, we think that drops are in a pretty good place after this week's changes. They should have been like this at release, and I am deeply sorry that they were not.

Drops are not in a good place. This is where I really think you don't even play the game. No loot. No sustain for this. The games mapping is trash now. Thanks for the fun time. I've been here since closed beta. You really lost touch after Harvest. Made the game have the most fun and flexibity and hooked us. Now it's an ode to the GGG memes and how the game killed itself. If you don't think this was poes nail in the coffin. Numbers are proving it will be. Word of mouth is everything and not a single person is telling their friends to pkay this game

I honestly still am very disappointed and I'm sure fellow exiles are too.

I understood the mistake of communication that you and your team have made. However, judging from the words you've used from the team planning or whatever you've heard about 3.19 from your team. It really does sound like they are trying to literally copy Diablo where it takes almost days if not weeks just to farm a single item which in my point of view is not right. It seems as if they are just basically suiting the game according to their own taste or playstyle. Regarding "Have tested". Have they/you really do some testing? A little stream to showcase 3.19's current state would probably be a good idea.

I myself am not a very skillful player nor have a lot of knowledge about it, so I just play for fun, and right now it's not doing it for me. I am sure that some other beginners or some people who play the game at a very slow pace as I do can notice a very big difference(not in a good way)

I was previously very excited to play Lake of Kalandra but after seeing so many and I meant SO MANY positive content creators like Matt, Zizaran, Ghazzy, Empyreangaming, and many more, who always do try to put the NEGATIVITY aside and seeing them basically gave up and be emotional about the current state of the game really feels that there are some changes that need to be made.

A Lil chat with some of the fellow streamers doing some secondary research gathering some datas,feedbacks and opinions about how to make sure the game moves forward from the BIG-BIG knowledge content creators who is basically what kept/motivated us EXILES to keep on playing is probably a good idea.


AGAIN This is coming from a player who basically have fun shooting at mobs alching and go type of player

Hi Chris looking forward to your livestream and guides so you can show and teach us all how to play the game.

"I have seen parties in this league get multiple mirrors per day, or find over 50 Divine Orbs from a single monster."
And you think this is ok???? A team of players now gamble on the map to find this Innocence touched "loot goblin" is better than the old system???? take this achnemesis non-sense out of the game, it is ruining everything

I'm not going to say to stop being too hard on yourselves.
I'm not going to you didn't deserve what came from this.
I'm not going to thank you for fixing your own mistakes.

However... The fact that you admitted "This is a massive internal communication fuckup and I take full responsibility for it." among other things has cured my soul and my mind of all the negative things they had against all of GGG.

An apology was all I needed and I am very grateful for it. Thank you Chris. Thank you for not sounding like a big company automated blah blah blah generic apology robot. Thank you.

It's his job, Chris does this every single league and throw in generic marketing words for excuse like "very significant, highly likely, massive improvements",
We are sorry it's genuine mistake from our side and bla bla bla.. never talking in human language like a gamer he's claiming to be.
Glad you took this bait, maybe few more leagues will teach you something if this game will be relevant at all.

Philosophy Two: Players should fight fewer Rare Monsters at once, but they should be more challenging and rewarding

- I do not understand why this should be the case, it's not a Souls game where you have well telegraphed attacks, patterns and TOOLS to counter. Basically now rare mobs are killing you instantly even from off screen, or you have to kite them in circles. That's not challenging combat and i don't think you can take this mindset into an ARPG except bosses. Bosses are not fun because of the monster mods they have, they have special skills, patterns even visual and sound signs for their attacks. Archnemesis was fun for me, when you had the choice to engage and WHAT to engage.

Also it now feels like D3, when you only have to kill elites to get meaningful loot. That's not what PoE is about, the most fun in Path of Exile for me is the number of enemies on the screen i can destroy, and the CHANCE that any of them could give exciting reward. The "map juice" and map tiers can also adjust the difficulty of this playstlye, which means that every type of player can experience this fun aspect. It's now gone...

It's pretty obvious that GGG keep trying to slow down the game, cutting peak player power to create room for improvement in the future, both balance and performance wise for PoE 2. It is clear that PoE 2 is not ready and not designed at technical levels for these kind of monster numbers and speed. But if you taking away the fun, the core aspect of the game in PoE 1 to make players accustomed to 2 then there won't be anyone left to try it out.

"I have seen parties in this league get multiple mirrors per day, or find over 50 Divine Orbs from a single monster."
If they have knowledge and spend thousands of hours and thinking about strategies and get more and more knowledge what and when craft to earn fast money , just WHY NOT ?

So after this disaster of a launch, you still trying to play "groups are normalised, solo alch & go is fine" card?
Impressive stubbornness, ngl.

This is how your updated loot system works 99% of the times

Big/main issues with removed "filler" crafts also not addressed - keep pref/suff, socket colors, jew implicits, etc.
