What Happened with Items

Dude I dont want to pray for a rare with certain combination every 100 maps and hope it drops few divines I want invest few chaos in my map and at least get even or turn profit on average. Seeing groups drop 50 divines from one rare just shows how bad this system is. It's damn lottery.

While we now understand the intentions behind the horrible 3.19 release. You can't deny that loot is still dead people can't find enough alch/chisels and vaal orbs to keep mapping while last league this wasn't an issue.
The top end players juicing maps in 6 man parties were making 6-10chaos per map and this map took 10min to clear.
Solo players who try to juice their maps doing some of their favorite content were now losing half the currency they invested rather than making currency.
The idiology of making content harder for more and better rewards simply has the opposite effect at the moment and it SUCKS!

Archnemesis going core was a mistake, it's been there for 2 leagues now and for 2 leagues it has been so overpowered it's downright ridiculous. Map bosses die in a matter of seconds while archnemesis monsters take no damage and can kill you in just a few frames.
No ampunt of adding loot multipliers will fix the simple fact that the mods themselves make it unfun and unfair to interact with rare monsters.

Harvest crafting is dead. So many of the usefull crafts were removed and the price for the remaining crafts are absurdly high compared to the juice we're getting.

Minion builds can't keep their minions (and their animite gaurdians) alive this is an entire playstyle affecting many builds that is simply no longer viable (Ghazzy is pissed for sure)

People don't care about rares that drop they are unusable 99% of the time, crafting them is more effecient and more fun but we can't do that now.
Top end crafting is litterly getting a fractured item and spamming essences untill you hit something good. It's braindead to do and unfun.

Tainted currency that you can obtain from scourge monsters is horrible as well. The chance of getting a 6link from a 4link used to be 50% chance twice so a 1 in 4 of succes. Now it's a 10% chance twice or a 1 in 100 chance of succes. Since you have to recraft your 4 link after every failed attempt it's simply not worth the risk.

The exalted and divine change was so sudden that there is simply no support for the demand of divines.
Exalted orbs can be obtainted through numerous farmable cards and shards from harbingers.
Divines have 1 card and it's from a map boss and no shards from harbingers they are drop only and that's simply not good enough when every single meta mod for crafting requires divines.
This change should've been made before divination cards and harbingers existed that way we'd have divine cards to farm and divine shards but it's to late for that now. It makes no sense just revert this change or let use get divines back from vendoring 6 links to keep up with the current demand.

Overal the all the changes made with this league so far have been bad. Some had a decent idea like scourge and harvest but the execution has been absolutly horrible.

I hope you can fix it all GGG but i really feel that you tried to do to much at once with this one, and because of that you weren't able to test anything properly.
Imo you'd be better off focussing on making lake of kalandra a fun league and reverting all changes made back to what they were in 3.18 better yet make it 3.17 so archnemesis mods are gone as well.
Then focus on the changes you wanted to make one at a time and when they are finished and balanced then add them into the game.
Like i said the harvest and scourge ideas are a good start but poorly executed.

I hope this helps (sorry for my bad english)

For example if you upgrade a rare item to a unique item and it's then converted to a currency item, it'll drop as a Divine Orb, Exalted Orb or Orb of Annulment.

That is a terrible system. I can lose a muti divine or mirror worthy item now to it upgrading into a single Divine Orb, Exalted Orb or Orb of Annulment. Wonderful.

What?! How?! Are you looking for that one rare item that drops which makes you rich?

Chris yet again saved the world.

"I have seen parties in this league get multiple mirrors per day, or find over 50 Divine Orbs from a single monster."

I cant believe that Chris is seriously this much out of touch..

So u want to destroy the game for all players because some end game groups can invest in juice and get profit from their investment in softcore?

I also refuse to believe that this is true, show me one clip that shows a group getting MULTIPLE mirrows in a single day or even a single monster dropping multiple divines...

The game is evolving and I like a lot of the changes.

There is too much line in the sand grandstanding from a loud section of your fan base. So sorry you gotta deal with all that, alot of them want the game to revert back to previous leagues that they also shit on. Comical.

I got my first lunaris touched monster today (I got a challenge reward) after 300.000 kills, it dropped 3 Chaos orbs... the whole League I got 6 ex drops and 1 divine I'm just depressed at this Point.

Total Bovine Scatterings! A week played every day and not a single exalted or divine drop because I haven’t hit you lottery button! Revert this mess now!

If I hear - "We playtested it extensively and it felt appropriate" - I'm gonna lose my s**t.
