When real decent unique drops not just hype?

So what is the conspiracy theory explanation for all the added uniques on trade and the price drops?


If the price of poop was high because it was scarce, the price of poop will be lessen if it's readily available.

At the end of the day, it is poop. The itemization is the problem, not the availability.

I cannot find a single unique drop in SSF that is playable for the minion class and it's been a month now.

I have not seen a single fucking good item and you know why? Because they simply do not exist.

The only good unique, and yes there is literally only one, is sunsplinter. And even if I finally find one in one year, if it dosent roll +3 to the correct class im playing, i guess thatll be another year to maybe see the one I need.

I would have used Oaksworn because it had 50 spirit. Guess how much spirit it has now? Zero, fucking zero on it. Why is the item even unique? Every single stat on it is absolutely a disgrace and is not even unique to a shield.

So I would have used a trenchtimbre, you know the thing that could roll +4 and now can max roll +2 ? But guess what, I've seen exactly zero of these drops.

I have close to 1400 hours in, we can put our tinfoil hat all day but the reality is, the uniques are fucking trash.

There's no in between. Oaksworn was not overpower by any mean, but of course since they have absolute sheer hate for the minion class, they had to brick it.

And they dare tell us that the uniques got buffed because they didnt met their expectation.

If thats the case, why are they still absolute fucking trash and its getting worse each iteration?

Do you feel the salt, the anger, the absolute rage I feel?


The original post was about the drop rate of "chase uniques", not about how many bad uniques there are in the game. I don't have any pity for SSF players. You chose to handicap yourself.

Game is clearly designed and tailored around trade. You choose SSF. Don't get mad.


So the ENTIRE game is built and balanced around an archaic craigs list system? Is that what I am hearing. If that is the case both of these games are a complete waste of everyone time who doesn't want to feel like a MUCH LESS successful day trader.

Where is the game part of this game? Even as I see the poe1 community wind themselves up for new content most of the focus seems to be a race to the top to mass farm as fast possible to get "rich"... I see now why the first few years of this game did not appeal to me at all.

Scolding people for not wanting to interact with a VERY outdated and quite frankly sad king of the hill mechanic is wild to me.

If people are forced to use trade to see good items the developers are VERY bad at their job, flat out.


"The ENTIRE game"? - No. But if you play SSF you can expect the EXTREMELY rare items to be... well you can guess.
Guys we gotta real hardcore poe'r here. He lives, breathes and sweats POE.

What a video gaming LEGEND.

Stalking me carries a heavy price, child. I cannot guarantee your safety. Many battles await. Make your peace with God, for if you follow me into the abyss, there surely will be no return.
That's what Eleven Hour Games got right and GGG will never.

EHG aim their balancing point at "just under overpowered".

So they don't spendt time nerfing and nerfin and nerfing again in order to balance a solo play game. They give give and give again to the players: QoL, SSF guild and trees, customisable skills, endless endgame...

They do have a vision too but their vision is not there to harness, frustrate and nerf the players.

Frankly GGG just HATE their players.

And an Action RPG end goal should not be "Trading Simulator 95 : Craig's List edition" with the special DLC "Bots, RMTs and Chinese spammer".

legit.
GGG - Why you no?
My 5 cents.
I'm playing SSF myself, but to play it succesfully you have to be open-minded. Even in PoE1 it is not that easy to get a needed unique. Atleast in PoE2 we have the properly working orb to do that (Orb of Chance is trash in Poe1).
Ofcourse, you play how you want to play, I have nothing against it. But the fun part of playing SSF for me is trying to figure out a build with what I have. As I said before, you have to be open-minded to do that. You got a cool unique, but not for your current build? Consider getting other gear, recombine gear with 1 or 2 good suffixes\prefixes in order to use that item, etc. This is how i see SSF. The need to be creative and to work with what you get.
And making a proper filter is very important too. You got a mail belt? You can smash your Orb of Chance on it, maybe you will get the BiS Kitava belt. Or you got a gold diadem? Well, this has a chance to become the BiS Lich helmet. So on and so forth..
Honestly, if you want to play a specific build, better play trade. You will save yourself a lot of time and stress.

Another problem is , that pinnacle content is a next joke , where is sense to do arbiter of ash if i will get more divs selling the fragments then from loot from him , king in the mist , the only valuable item was ingenuity now is no sense to grind this , trial master ? Mahuxotl's Machination nerfed noth worth anything , and the sorcerer class death , that's the worst patch i ever seen in any arpg game , pathetic

Exactly this. Some people are completely missing the point that most chase uniques are now hot trash. Of course they didnt go from 80 to 50 with ingenuity, it had to be 30............

Of course the spirit on oaksworn had to be ZERO instead of 50. Wtf, Oaksworn is literally a leveling item, it sees zero play endgame, but it was too fun to exist so theyve destroy it.

Why have they nerfed Trenchtimbre from +4 to +2? And why trenchtimbre dosen't drop like cake now, since it's not that strong anymore?

Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
