Simple visual on why the current item mod tier system is bad.

This was the most stupid, uncalled for, unwanted, unreasonable change that nobody asked for.

Agree with everything OP's said !

It's shocking to me how much this bothers people.
Like all the things that people could be annoyed on upset about in this game, yet someone took the time out of their day to make a image just to say they want T1 to be the best so that don't have to memorize/lookup what the best tier is.

So crazy.

Welcome to poe bro, this is how seriously some of us take this game, and you probably haven't even seen the half of it.
Is it healthy, or even sane ? Probably not, but it is how it is.

Let's just have our old tiering system back, because it's clearly superior, and we'll all chill out about this.

I actually do not understand what the hell is being said. What is that chart?

Theres a t13 in this game? I thought the highest was 9? I'm in 16 maps, how is there 4 higher tiers?

Is that was this is saying...? Are people complaining that t1 used to be the best and now t...13 is the best?

Wtf is happening here? Someone explain to the child.

The fact that they keep taking what has worked well for years in POE1 and making it worse in POE2 is mind-boggling.

They could show the tiers as "Tier 3/15" instead of "Tier 3". And this would solve the problem while also giving the developers an open end to add new tiers without destroying every single earlier tier.

If players can see the highest tier number so that they can have some idea of where they are at in the spectrum, things will be fine.

Apart from that, a tier 1 HP roll on an item being higher than tier 5 HP roll is counter-intuitive at best for a new player. People are used to "bigger number better gear".

They're talking about the tiers (ranges) that a modifier on an item can roll in and that how it worked in POE1 was way better than how it works here.
In POE1, T1 was the highest tier any modifier could roll in while in POE2, T1 is the lowest. This, combined with the fact that different modifiers have different numbers of tiers they can roll in, makes it difficult to know if a tier that rolled on your dropped item is in the low end, mid range or high end of all possible tiers for that modifier. You'd have to check an external website listing all possible tiers per modifier for each base to know for sure (or have it all memorized). With Tier 1 always being highest as it was in POE1, one could always tell immediately how close to the best one you were.

PS : just to be clear, this is not really related to the different map/waystone tiers, except for the fact that higher modifier tiers can only appear on higher monster level drops (or thus, in higher waystones)
