What Happened with Items

Goodbye.

So instead of having a reliable and plannable way to make more loot by juicing maps now i have to pray to rngsus that he gives me a monster that was molested by a god to have a chance at good loot? And this is supposed to be a good change?
This is an abolute clown show that mirrors what goes on with crafting
This together with all other changes pretty much throws at least half the existing atals skill tree into the garbage bin

I made roughly 50 exalts last league due On a plus note. Idk why anyone isn't talking about memories, those things are VERY rewarding and fun and they pull off your atlas passives im assuming?

ma dude, league mechanics are always rewarding and every league there is some complain and adjustments which is fine, it doesn't matter if the league is rewarding if the base game is broken, the changes they are doing and what they are saying are 2 completely different directions. Chris is talking about more difficulty more rewards but in reality all loot went from monsters into these AN loot goblins, you don't need to clear entire map, just run around find a loot goblin - kill it, then put a next map, look for the loot goblin, repeat, if you think this state of the game is ok, then you are in luck, but to me this is really bad, like the game will start dying bad

Chris, the changes are fine, the loot is fine, the only valid criticism i've heard this league so far is the fact that : AN mods stack badly with league mechanics, the harvest nerf, and the mirror of kalandra zone itself being trash. Of those, you already fixed 2. Everyone complaining about loot, you are literally just sheep echoing whatever stupid youtuber you heard cry about it. Like he said, and i've been saying since day 1, unless you are FULLY JUICING, you didnt get nerfed. And , 95% of you who say 'i juice, where's my loot' , no, you dont juice, running a t16 with 2 rusted scarabs is not juicing. And, i've been mapping on t16 for some days now, and doing fine, you get some loot some times, some times you dont, the same as it's always been. And all those whining youtubers? Well, most of them seem to be doing perfectly fine as well, having multiple divines in their stash and in their characters. So, unleas you are part of the 200 players who 6-man juice, really, stop crying, you are embarassing, just play the game, and stop listening to every single stupid youtuber who's been whining in your ear. I don't blame regular players, when all the 'experts' youtuber in their eyes can't stop CRYING , yeah, it affects your mentality. I do blame 'experienced' players who literally don't know what they are talking about, and have turned themselves into regular redditors. TBH this league biggest changeup is, now you know which youtuber's actually know about the game, and which don't. If your favorite content creator keeps crying that 'oh no, i ran a white t2 map and i didn't get any loot' , maybe they just don't know what they are talking about.

I will buy the kirac's pass right now, to put my money where my mouth is. Keep it up Chris, and don't bend the knee to the ignorant mob.

I'm very much a casual player, not super knowledgeable in the mechanics of the game and definitely just play to chill and have fun- so probably not very relevant to this discourse but I wanted to mention as a player who plays mostly solo...

I'm struggling to get enough basic low-level currency (alch/chance/chromatic orbs or even portal scrolls) to sustain progressing through the storyline. I haven't been able to buy the gems I would like from the vendors. To me it still feels very off compared to previous leagues.

Coming back to this league after having played for many years and thousands of hours, but skipped last 5-6 leagues, feels like a completely different game. In a very bad way

I never played this game softcore. Started in hardcore back when there were three acts, and having played every other league since. My battle was always with the shaper, whom I still never killed (killed all his guardians a few times).

It seems my beef is not with the shaper any more, but with archnemesis guys. Got oneshot in a lvl 70 area by, well something.

Hope you can fix this but I dont think its going to happen

Its the game I played the most in my whole life (that is actually saying ALOT)
and its the game I loved the most

GL im out

I`ve spent a vast amount of time in POE during the last years and had a lot of fun with my friends. In the last league I felt I had to give something back and bought the supporter pack for 240$. I wore my shirt and zipper with pride!

Well not anymore... these changes not only made me erase POE from my computer so did my friends. It`s heart breaking but I guess it`s time to move on.

Thank you for destroying my favourite game.

Ok... soo you want to tell me it's oke and fixed
hm... ok let me see...

You want slower game and create random badass rares what we need to hit ~ 5 min for 0 rewards and we finaly can go map boss what we can deleted in 5 sec ofc 0 rewards ... pff nice balance.

Not a bad idea what you say but need to cap rare mobs max stats what no more higher than map boss because why boss is a boss if weaker than rare mobs. That's it the problem fix it and we are agre you opinion.

Keep it a good work and have a nice day.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Are you even playing the game? Are you even reading what ggg is saying?

I've been doing t16 with exp. and legion. And before that i did ritual and beyond. And, let me tell you, the loot was perfectly FINE. Yeah, there's loot condensed in AN mods, but so what? If you clear your map, what the fuck does it matter if the rares drop the loot or a random white mob does? It's the same. Now, if you want to complain about third party tools scanning for AN mods, thats okay, but that's not GGG's fault, im sure they'll work something out, but you can't be mad at a company because players are cheating. If they don't do anything for a couple of leagues, yeah, go ahead and complain. Else, Just play the game instead of whining like a redditor.

Chris, thanks for the update and this post. I really do not get how people are so unwilling to reason and make total sarcastic asses of themselves in forum posts. Fuck ups happen and we fix them and move on, this is just a bump in the road dude.

I see plenty of people willing to reason and who made very sound critiques of the significant flaws in what GGG did.

Mistakes happen, true. BUT there are many systems and processes which exist for the purpose of preventing mistakes. GGG willfully chose to either NOT use or disregard those systems. It's like if a pilot skipped the pre-flight checklist and a problem ensued. Sure, mistakes happen; but that's why you have the checklist to reduce problems.
GGG skipped over the basics of software development and testing; which by now are very well known and documented.
