Early Access Feedback - TIER 16 WAYSTONES, PLEASE MAKE THEM AVAILABLE - Forum

I spent DIVS worth of corrupting tier 15s to get NO tier 16s. I guess i should have played better. And then i also need to find a +1 node that just sometimes doesn't appear even after a cleanse. This is beyond frustrating. Why is it a decision of the design team to literally wall your from high tier content with something completely out of your control? I don't know who is the gremlin that designed this botched travesty of a waystone system, bring back the guy that made maps for PoE 1. Can't we just remove these +1 map mods and make t16s available along with raising the level of waystones in general so t16 = lvl 82? I just don't understand why i have to be walled by something that's 100% out of my control. Oh yeah just grind more i guess yipeee.

The irradiation gives you +1 that would be 81 on a t16, to get lvl 82 however you also need a map node. Irradiation normally gives you a lvl 80 which just doesn't have higher tier loot. ilvl that drops there is 82 while on lvl 82 its ilvl 84	Posted by Remsleeprem#2330 on Sep 11, 2025, 2:08:53 PM Quote this Post

What in the game requires you to run maps at that ilvl?	Posted by Lonnie455Rich#2087 on Sep 11, 2025, 2:09:47 PM Quote this Post
Better gear bases, better gear, lvl 20 skill and spirit gems. It's very big.	Posted by Remsleeprem#2330 on Sep 11, 2025, 2:11:11 PM Quote this Post

I always chuckle when people say they always need an ilvl 86 chest piece in poe1 to get t1 suppression or def mods. We all know that 99% of the time you will settle with t2 and the chances of actually hitting all those t1 mods you get are abysmal. You dont NEED those things btw. You get them because you meet the extra challenges of that ilvl in the endgame.	Posted by Lonnie455Rich#2087 on Sep 11, 2025, 2:31:38 PM Quote this Post
Yeah i mean true but also you work towards something and you are stuck in a rut and except if you purchase those maps from someone that actually has a better dice than you (aka is luckier), then you are stuck running the same maps at low levels with irrelevant drops and just progressing side content.

Its the mindset of thinking they're irrelevant that you are stuck in.	Posted by Lonnie455Rich#2087 on Sep 11, 2025, 2:44:38 PM Quote this Post
