Gambling Simulator rather than ARPG

Totally agree about too much determinism. Players shouldn't be able to just craft whatever they want.

Agreed. It would be nice to have more options and ways to aim for upgraded gear but I don't think every craft should inevitably be better. Because the only way to accomplish that is to essentially make best in slot deterministic with enough investment. Which to me would just flatten the entire end-game. As well as likely result in an extremely expensive crafting system that effectively funnels wealth to the top 5% again like it already does in PoE 1.

Last epoch has become something of a bedtime game for me. It's pretty relaxed and I can just craft whatever affixes I want with no trouble or hassle. The game is so reclined that I end up nodding off on the couch while I'm playing it. While I like it, I don't think it suits POE2. Not in the slightest.

Yeh couldn't agree more with the itemization, randomness and scarcity of crafting mats that reduces randomness by a small degree.

In fact, I've come to the point in the game where I don't even bother to pick up items other than currency (chaos and above) and the odd unique that I have yet to see as 99.9% will be utter crap, even tier 5 unid stuff gets left on the floor.

Only saving grace for this season is tangletongue, boy that spear rocks, mythic grade item that been assigned as an uncommon. Good reason why it wasn't nerfed in the latest patch, poe2 would have instant drop 40% players if they did and 10c would have given the dev team a whooping.

I didn't say to change the current abilities of Exalted and Chaos orbs. I mentioned capping all items low and high end limit of what kind of values it can get for it's random modifiers.

I do not think that if you slam on a normal Level 80 item with Alchemy and 2 more Exalted, it comes out T2, T2, T3, T3, T4, T4 stats, it will make you fall asleep? There's still that gambling and chaos-ness you love so much after this improvement. Each tier still has their own value range to roll.

I don't play Last Epoch, so I won't know. At a glance, the reviews are in much better condition than POE2. No puns or what, but can you share why?

At this moment, I only take it with a pinch of salt from the generated results on Google with "last epoch vs poe2 reviews" search prompt.

Oh? Casino is undergoing maintenance?
