What Happened with Items

Still can't wait for the next league where they'll add timed maps with keystones to enter them. We already have Kadala, now we have loot goblins. Make my dream come true and go back on everything you said before and also add Greater Rifts to PoE.

Very well written. Thank you, Chris, for doing your absolute best. Your game and vision really help me have fun and enjoy the game bit by bit. I know there are many things that players do not like, and, in a way, their voiced opinions and views are helpful to keep making this game awesome, and yet I on the other hand feel as well that everything is excellent and that I can trust everything you have done. I am just the single minority, and this comment is not as important as most in here, but just wanted to thank you Chris and voice as well that I am truly so grateful for everything you are doing for us. I am patient and understanding and again truly grateful for creating such an awesome game.

Probably my only concern is how you emphasized being the PoE1 director vs the PoE director. I really hope that when PoE2 comes out that you will still keep being around for us. We all love you and support you in our own way. Thank you so very much.

Geez dude, you're really kissing some ass today. The fact that you say that everything in the game is fine, shows that you don't know much about the issues at hand or you don't care to know about them.
How do you expect people to react when you give them something good, take it away, not replace it with something equally rewarding. But then are surprised that they get upset about it.

As for the trust everything he has done part, I would comment on that but insta ban would be headed my way.

So mapping characters are all garbage tier now?
The only loot comes from 4 mod archnemesis mobs so you are better off using a bosser and just ignoring everything but those touched ANs?
sounds "fun"

So we are the ones to be blammed in the end and we should give you more money. Stop asuming that we don't get the full picture because we have eyes, we are not stupid Wilson and this PR your doing is there on top with EA and Activision.I think there are at least 5-6 leagues maybe more since people start told your over and over again what not to do and you keep pushing thinks on us that no one wants them. We don't care about your philosophys cuz we are here to have fun with the game not debate the frabric of nature and space time. Is your game and you do what you want with it then close the servers and play it with your friends and collegues if you don't like when community wants something to be done with the game.

I'm not going to jump on the hate train, but, I would suggest that you spend a day playing your own game just so you can understand fully what people are complaining about. It's one thing to read feedback. But, with no hands on experience, you really can't fully grasp what we're talking about. Also, just a suggestion, but, if you want us to rely a bit more on item drops, perhaps you should make them useable. 99% of rares I pick up, I end up vendoring because the stats are just absolute garbage for my build. I've been playing this game since 2017 and I may have picked up a handful of rares that were half way useable in maps. The fact is that gear has too many stats that can roll and entirely too much RNG that happens when those stats are being rolled, and no reliable way to focus-craft an upgrade. It's all about gambling. I've seen people spend 1-2 weeks farming and crafting an item, just for it to be bricked and deleted in the end. Having said all that, I love this game. It's been my favorite for a very long time. Even when I take extended breaks because I burn out(entirely my fault) I speak for a lot of us when I say that I appreciate the post, and especially appreciate you taking responsibility for the fuckup.

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.

I think the worst part of this post isn't just that they lied by omission such a game breaking change, but just how poor their actual vision for the game is. Getting a ton of divines from a single mob is absolutely terrible game design. I work 50 hours a week. I generally play for an hour or two a night when I play. This vision basically means that most evenings I would find nothing of value the entire time I play, but once or twice per league maybe I would find almost all the valuable drops at once. If the game moves in this direction, there's no chance I would continue to play.

i think that im being resonable here i doun't ask ypu tp bring it back to a 1ooo% at least give as bas like 50% of waht it was ibelivd that ist's a good point to start on what is ahpeningnng

I get to play POE a few hours a week, sometimes on conference calls or before my wife wakes up on the weekend. Very casual player but a consistent one. Until this league I rarely saw a chaos drop, let alone an exalted. This made buying or making gear tough.

This league I am actually seeing currency drops and/or six socket gear fall from every t16 map I do. Thank you for thinking of the casual gamer this time around.

i have played this game since it came out, i have seen many changes that have me wonder what the hell you people at GGG were thinking. People find great builds yea they are dominant builds and you go and nerf them into the ground instead of raising the other skill gems that are pure trash. You have done the same with items reach of the council comes to mind you nerfed that bow 2 leagues in a row after it came out. We just had 2 great amulets that made it possible for people who can't play all day because they have jobs and families to where they could make some nice builds but once again you managed to fuck that up too. Yes omniscience and ashes of the stars it was easy for average joes to get or purchase but GGG in it's infinite wisdom screwed that up also. I remember Chris saying that you guys rely on new players well if you keep it up that may all you get because the old timers are getting tired of this crap show each league. It's not hard balance the game to where everyone can enjoy the damn game.
