What Happened with Items

I enjoyed most of the changes made and I thoroughly enjoyed a harder game with uniques being more rare.
I have had better loot in the early days than ever actually funnily enough. I can understand some peoples frustration but I also think there has been quite the overreaction.

3.19 has been a blast for myself and many others, I think it is a good direction and slowing down the game is a big positive in my opinion!

You are doing great work Chris & team, see you in game.

You haven't even reached maps and you talk about loot. You don't even understand the complaints then.
Another problem are posts like this praising things they haven't even tried themselves. Now that it's changed you probably won't notice much when you eventually get to maps, but a huge number of us who mapped on day 1 have mostly noticed.

Did i just read that right? you are satisfied with loot drop as it is now? No more buffs? Nothing about minions? Nothing about harvest? Just excuses and then "yeah that's it folk everything is fine now"... no no no no. Everything is still in a bad place. I have never felt so bad playing a league and now you tell me low tiers only have about 7% less loot. As if! Never been so starved for crafting currency and i can't craft anything with harvest because you have gutted it. If you think the game is in a good state now after these few buff patches then you are beyound lost and delusional.

Time to act like a blizzard, ppl whining no matter what

Yeah, I'm on board. I can see the logic and goal of these changes. Thanks for addressing the communication issues.

Especially after the last few patches, I'm really enjoying the league so far and can't wait to try out some more builds.

Thanks GGG!

thank for that leag.(why you delet my comm?)
and poe that done

Well, this is shait.
I levelled 3 characters and didn't get even 1 ex or divine. Even mana flasks do not drop as they did before - had to craft them.
You're not just stubborn, you're blindly devoted to your stubbornness. Don't you see that the change to rare monsters you did in Archenemesis is hated by the majority of your community? Don't you understand that you need to roll back?

I don't understand why so many people keep bringing up that you get same loot with t1 as you would with t16... Don't tell them that or they will nerf t1 maps even more.

I love the fact that there were massive loot drops and few groups that were farming the juicy maps flooded the market, making the gear cheap. I don't have time to no life the game but I want to progress, in my +40h this league I have not found a single divine orb, ex or any valuable unique.
Only content I do now is farm t1 maps and selling sets for 2 chaos orbs so I get 50 chaos orbs so I can buy freaking Legacy of Fury for my build.

I never sold anything in this game, but from what I understand you need to be online for the trade to happen. I can't afk in game and wait for players to contact me and buy scraps that I collected(witch I doubt anyone would buy anyway).

I am scared of trying new builds, I am investing hours of gameplay for nothing.

And all this is coming from a casual guy with less then 200h in total.. Came at the end of Sentinel league, got to maps with 2ex on my name.Now I don't even know what Divine orb does, never seen it this league, all the trash unique items that I was implementing to my makeshift RF build are gone, so I can't even get that much. Best item I have now is a freaking belt that is probably useless but heck is all I got so far.

I fear that next nerf that screws us casuals will be experience gain, making us level to 80 the entire legue.

God it is INSANE how effing tone deaf and imbecilic your team is. Let's break it down shall we?

1. You want IIR to be important - too bad unique items are largely shit, and too bad rarity doesn't do jack shit for getting good mods on rare items. The ONLY thing it's good for is currency, and that too I have never had this much trouble with BASIC currency like alchs / scours / vaals so I don't know where the eff my rarity is going

2. Average player is unaffected by loot changes - this is a BLATANT lie, there is not a single player who is NOT dropping lesser basic loot than before. We're having to buy alchs, vaals and scours just for map completion. The degree of delusion is astounding

3. You made Beyond mobs "rewarding" - right, takes me a minute and a half to kill a Beyond boss for it to to drop 1 tainted fusing which at this point is worse than a normal fusing. Very rewarding sir.

4. Rare mobs should take longer to kill but be more rewarding - too bad they still drop shit for loot and have a greater likelihood of slaughtering you than most endgame bosses

5. You didn't test the quantity changes internally - and you claim your QA team works very hard?

6. You didn't feel archnemesis warranted nerfs - this after literally professional streamers, who put 16 hours a day into the game, REPEATEDLY told you they're overtuned? Seriously? What kind of godmode characters do you guys even use?

Overall summary of this post seems to be, "We're very sorry we didn't adequately communicate to you that you're getting f#$&ed. But going forward, you're still getting f#$&ed."
