What are you smoking? Have you played the game? Strongboxes have been consistent since prophecy league and the addition of monstrous treasure, and then even greater with the addition of atlas passive tree.

Like, come on.


I never enjoyed them and never had luck with them even in poe 1


Enjoyment or the lack of luck (or more likely lack of correct usage of the mechanic) has nothing to do with the fact that strongboxes were and are still REALLY GOOD in POE1.
Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.

So, to use your words against you; "It has to be a skill issue".

Strongboxes has, universally, been one of the best strats in PoE for several leagues now. If you seriously "had no luck with them", you got to admit that people can have different experiences with certain content without there being "skill issues" involved.

Let me ask you this: If you and me are running T7 maps all day, where you get "fantastic currency" while I'm not, how is skills involved? I would get it if you were claiming "knowledge issue", where map content, tower buffs and MF come into play, but you aren't claiming that.

This whole "get good"/"skill issue" is getting old and it looks rather stupid. Almost as stupid as "Strongboxes were never that great even in POE 1", which is probably the worst sentence written on these forums.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

A lot of people didn't run strongboxes in POE 1. I ran Harbinger and had a blast.

IDK what to tell ya mate. If your getting bad drops and not having fun. Turn the computer off and go outside. Crying about it on the internet is not helping anything or anyone.

well you clearly need to get good and def have some skill issues to work out so maybe POE 1 is more your speed.
When I make more currency with random bases I find in maps instead of drops, like its cool and all extra currency but it is the exact opposite of how I want to play this game. Feels very bad when you feel the need to check every expert base because it is the only slight consistent way I can make currency when all I want to do is blast maps and make currency with minimal time wasting.
the endgame similarly feels monotonous and too punishing for me

First off, I wasn't referring to me, I just saw your reply, threw up a little bit in my mouth and had to reply. Your last two sentences just show that you're here to provoke, so I'm just going to leave this talk where it is.

In PoE1 you actually got about 1 or 2 per map, even if not running the scarab, and it took almost no time. The issue is that unless you had a chance at high rolls due to your map choice it was generally not a lot of currency. But strongboxes were at least SOME currency, and they were fast, so people ran them the same way they did essence.

In PoE2 you can forget about div card farming(div cards don't exist), even if they did you can forget about farming a specific map(atlas is infinite, which I hate), so the high rolls on strongboxes do not exist anymore. Without the high rolls you are just left with cheap gear. So strongboxes are not worth it. And all of this is assuming you get a strongbox, which is near impossible with how bad the atlas passives are at forcing content.

I run T7s all the time and make fantastic currency. Seems like a skill issue

Strongboxes were never that great even in POE 1 and in POE 2 they are of equal importance

Use your low tier maps and just fly through it. takes about 3 minutes of your precious time

If you want the old atlas...go play POE 1.

The end game is not even 20% completed

100% a skill issue. Maybe stop juicing all your maps and just do the tier that your character can use?

Perfect Jeweler orb is probably the rarest item in the game.

It seems that you are really stuck on POE 1 mapping and came into POE 2 thinking it was going to be similar and now that you realize that its not. You are sad. Understandable but could have been prevented

1 divine can literally build you a set that can take you to t15s...skill issue

No there is not "glaring" problems. Stop watching streamers so much who make a living off of click-bait
I am literally blasting T15's and 16's whenever I get a lucky corrupt the issue not that the maps are hard the issue is I don't feel any reward even with 180% MF on my gear and the mapping in general is not any fun due to how convoluted it is.



something else is going on cause I run t7s-t10s for clear speed and im making 2-3 divine every 3 hours and I barely have 100% MF on.


That thing is called RNG. Your luck will run out.
