New Support packs. recently...

why did support packs become so boring? no special effects, they stopped being dark, creepy and causing a desire to buy them. Remember what support packs were for poe 1, take the same abyss and what do we have now? And they became boring not only for poe 2, but also for poe 1 they come out just as nondescript. the same situation in chests, but before microtransactions were really cool and they could even be connected to each other! Maybe someone also noticed this?

I think that's much more a matter of personal taste than anything.

All of the recent series of supporter packs have at least one compelling inclusion imo;

  • Trarthan Supporter: cool map device
  • Justice: floating / levitating
  • Cryptkeeper: epic map device
  • Phrecian: back attachment with an on-death effect (I don't think they've done before?)

I don't see any argument to be made that packs are objectively worse than before.

Yeah they did a death effect before. I forget what league but I have it, it's a bomb on your back, when you die your corpse explodes.

Floating was unique during void, then got re used in the sandwraith mtx.

If there's a specific thing you'd want like floating, exploding, mob tracking on devices, most of these things have been replicated across other mtx now and I feel like it's going to be more thinned out over time.

Trarthan Supporter: cool map device It is too big for most hideouts and too big to see the full visual of it. Also, 99% of map devices are useless, because everyone wants the functionality of the map timers or one of the map counters availabe. These need to be split from the map device.


Cryptkeeper: epic map device Same as above, still inferior to map timer map device.

We want more trackers! Give us more trackers.

It generally doesn't make a great deal of sense to try explaining to someone what "everybody wants" as, if you were correct, doing so would be inherently superfluous.

Your subjective opinion is not more (or less) objectively correct that mine.

heehee...that response before yours pretty much unintentionally and "objectively" proved exactly what you wrote. I giggled

"No its NOT based on personal preference! Here's why: my personal preference is different than yours"


Although, benefit of the doubt, I don't think he was trying to discount your statement.....he merely disagreed with your opinion on the mtx themselves. Both of us I think made an erroneous leap in judgment. "Everyone" may have just been a simple exaggeration rather than combative against the personal preference statement.
Starting anew....with PoE 2

Exactly, exaggeration.

My point, and the problem GGG has created, remain.

Select Map device MTX have additional functionality, on top of the visual decoration component.

-Many- players value the added functionality to the extent, that new MTX-only devices are considered non-choices.
