master crafting ruined this game
|
In re: the "trade warrior" and economy: "because economy" fuels about one third of the game's complaints (beside technical and balance issues), and people jump on it like a bandwagon to support their feelings about master crafting and.. well.. everything else. It's far less related than people accredit it; nigh 100% of the "economy problem" is a bland as fuck rare affix system that funnels the majority of builds towards a minority of items. To that end, master crafting fixed little, but it certainly didn't ruin anything either. Instead it was merely a bandaid to PoE's failed orb and affix system--the cause of the "because economy" hysteria. Master crafting did verifiably improve the game, but by allowing players to ignore the problem instead of fixing it.
GGG added a ton of interesting affix between masters and corruption, it's just a damn shame none of them made their way onto drops. Devolving Wilds

Rare items have a large pool with a limited selection of desirable affix combinations. Rare item diversity is almost entirely strung along by degrees of desirability between the same limited selection. Corruption and master crafting have added a selection of affix that could have expanded the desirability of different rare affix combinations on drops. Instead we have the same bland drops with prospective interesting secondary modification options. Bland drops being the problem which neither expansion managed to resolve. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking. Which specific affix? That doesn't matter; the affix themselves wouldn't have wholly resolved the issue, but they would have been a start.

" I agree about that, but we have to remember that rebalancing the drops must be hard as fuck. They already have trouble with uniques that are mostly fix. Let's hope they do something about that in Act IV, so rares can take the spotlight again. Add a Forsaken Masters questline

" Sometimes it is too easy. As for @pants I see your point now, I thought you were referring one this or that specific thing being added, whether it was the added master crafting affixes to rares or the possibilities to get rolls with corruption. I agree that rare items that you loot have gotten the feeling of being less special over time. One thing I miss about D2 is the ability (and the probability) to actually find something either cool or useful, to this day I play D2 on occasion and almost anything rare or above I get excited for, that feeling is completely gone for almost every single rare that drops. https://youtu.be/T9kygXtkh10?t=285

If by "ruined" you mean "made the game better", then I agree that Master Crafting ruined the game.

I think the idea of crafting essential affixes, but at values lower than you can find or gamble, is a good thing. Actually, for an affix-driven itemization, a genius move.
What I do not think was a good idea was introducing affixes exclusive to crafting which cannot be found (and found better) in the wild. All of those master-specific affixes, without exception, should exist (in even stronger form, if possible) as rare affixes.

Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Says the guy who has one lvl92 guy, who is always suggesting ansinine and clueless things about game mechanics to newcomers. ok lol  " Same thing i just posted to that user applies to you. I reaffirm what I have said " Feedback from an user that never experienced high end game is not valid, in fact i will quote what other users think about his vague statement:

^you must be a blast to hang around with.
Glad i have not had the pleasure :). Peace, -Boem- (and considering i deleted roughly 45+ chars by now because i only play league's, your response is hilarious at best) Edit : scrap that last part, the fact you have one lvl 90 and one lvl 94 is better.
