Item Changes in Path of Exile 2

yo~im log in no time to judge GGG lmo

"Except for a few Unique Bosses at the start of Act 1, all Unique Bosses will always drop a Rare item.
In the campaign, you only get the guaranteed Rare item the first time you kill the boss. In maps you always get it."

Why is that? Why not let us farm? Racers will not do this cause they will find something more efficient but i dont understand why would you not allow people who struggle to farm a bit before they get something decent and move on. Its the essence of path of exile. You get to chamber of innoncence and you farm. Its the only thing fun in campaign that makes you feel powerful.

It would also help some off meta builds that need a little bit of help at the start.

You are not crafting currency you are killing monsters and hoping you get something good. So its not really deterministic.

Campaign is the whole reason why the game feels sluggish right now. People who got to maps already dont care about this.

This change is meaningless if it doesnt work in campaign. I would seriously reconsider this one because it sounds like a great change.

I was hoping last 2 weeks there will be some big changes that will make me just do the campaign and play the game but i guess its not happening yet. Feels more like changes are done for the endgame people once again.

Smart loot is a bad concept and one that GGG have thankfully stayed away from.

Different loot means you might be influenced to start a new character, or if you're playing on trade, give you stuff to sell on the market.

There are a lot of things to fix for sure, but this ain't it.

new character? so tired of doing a new character again and again .... for two days per characer.

then I guess you should sell the good loot you find.

太糟糕了，糟糕的地图设计乱七八糟的怪物技能，让我无法躲避莫名其妙的死去，这次更新不能改变什么

Now do the quick balance pass - nerf op skills and buff completely unused ones and do some performance optimizations

now what? roll back? no update? who would play with such poor loot

By essense, the issue with item drop and rarity shows that :

GGG is is eager to come in front (like in this post) talking about what you implemented, WITHOUT actually testing.
So the question I have is : DID YOU TEST IT ?


Also, reading this post, it appears to me that the fundamental flaw in gg approach to designing this game has not been fixed.

"Item drop where bad, so we buffed high end drop end, and - because we really like to annoy you - we nerfed rarity mod troughout the game
"

I dont have to read your logs to know that most players dont even go to act 4 (act 1 cruel) , so buffing high end loot and nerfing overall magic find is fixing the wrong thing at the wrong place.

It's like you refuse to learn at this point.

And where is the balance? there is only one build played.

ahh 0.2F ???? where is 02G?

ITS F STILL?
