Are you finding Divination cards useful or fun?
" Brute force? Sure, why not? What do you do when you're tying to build a map pool? Force it as much as you can and hope luck is on your side. Exploit? Nah, I don't really think so. It was my understanding that by putting the cards in specific places farming for items was to become a viable option. I am exercising that option and when I've completed my set, which I fully intend to do, maybe I'll have some useful farming info to share with the community. At this point I would say that at least farming a 6-link Astral Plate is NOT a viable option for levelling up, but might viable as a mid- or endgame goal. After I complete my set I might even consider rounding up as much IIQ gear as I can and going for a second set. But maybe I'll do it on Standard so I can get the IIQ gem as well... Time will tell! Anyway, it seems like not a complete waste of time as I do get a drop every now and then and in the meantime I get to run around recklessly smashing millions of mobs. It's not really so different from mapping except I now have a clear goal and I have not a care in the world about rolling a map or getting killed. I might even dare to say I'm having fun... |

Find one, stash it, forget about it.
Div cards are a bust. I'm the Ps guy: Psomm, Pso, Psong, pso-on and pso-phorth.

" This is the biggest issue (besides my obvious disappointment in the creativity of some Highgate supporters). The game progression has become so smooth (props to that, really, loving it not needing to farm a signle zone twice to progress), that there is no point in farming a merciless zone besides act 4. It would be awesome if like whole merciless was map-like levels, and then I don't just mean 68. I'd love a 6link astral plate but I just can't step into a level 60 zone when I'm already mapping without feeling like I'm wasting my time. Doing lower level content is not fun ! I'd do it if there was a level 71 fellshrine or something, no doubt about that ! I hope something like this is in the dev's plans, a real alternative to mapping. I love mapping and I don't usually mind RNG, but this time around the friend I play with has double my map pool and we played everything together alternating maps, and I spend double the currency on them than he did, it's almost unreal. I feel there needs to be something else if you're getting tired of not seeing any +1 map in 20 consecutive ones. Just to relieve us from the bad feeling that gives us. Trust me MANY people are tired of this mapping RNG system and would actually rather farm a level 71 fellshrine all evening than trying to climb the map ladder. Divination cards have a big part of the potential here. They should be farmable, how is a divination card that only drops in like one specific map farmable? Especially when it's 74+ ? It's not like we can choose to farm those, I think more bought from people that found them by accident than really farmed for now, it seems like they are completely missing the purpose at the moment. It feels like most cards drop in zones that are too low (all zones below act 4 merciless) or too high (aka almost unreachable maps). Last edited by leto2626#2588 on Aug 6, 2015, 11:45:36 PM

" You're very very close. Level 72 Graveyard is the map you want and 72's aren't exactly hard to get. Merveil in that map probably won't give you much trouble either and she'll be an absolute pushover after you've killed her 100 times =). I found my first "the union" card in a Graveyard map shortly before I decided to go farming. I'd probably be farming Graveyard if I could get a replacement to drop every time I ran it, haha. |

when i first heared about the cards i was like...
AWESOME! then i started playing and tried to farm the schoolar... after 2 hours and 2 cards i was like: "I wont even try to farm the 6L Armor card..." Good Idea Misrable Planning (aka GIMP)... |

" I've ran all I had, and of course graveyards are more expensive than any other 72 map so it's quite pointless buying them, it's possible cheaper now to just buy the cards than take your chances with them. Also it's one of the only maps I skip the boss sadly. What I mean is it's not a real choice, unless you think buying 30 graveyard maps or buying 1 card is a choice... If you find one you just wasted your time running those maps because could as well have bought the card. It jus feels all wrong man. " Haha same here man ! It was the first card I actually tried to farm until I realised I better just play the game and sell 10 transmutes instead. Last edited by leto2626#2588 on Aug 7, 2015, 6:36:19 AM

How isn't there a Bringer of Rain divination card that drops in Daresso's Dream? It writes itself, people.

Sadly no. The only purpose i see in them atm is as stash tab fillers.

" they are NOT a bonus. currency drops have been stealth nerfed to compensate (esp higher currency) since I have no hope for significant game design improvements in this game I am officially done with Path of Exile. done for good

" Well, to be fair, a lot Highgaters I've talked to just got tired of their ideas getting nixed then waiting 1-2 weeks+ to restart the submission process. Yes yes, I know 2 or 3 weeks is nothing considering what a lot of us went through (still going through) regarding unique design, but still, fact remains that there are significant restraints on what GGG will allow regarding card design. I, and others, have submitted multiple card ideas that (imo) are pretty unique, fit a needed void, and aren't gamebreaking. But I digress. Please fill us in on your idea for needed/missing cards; there are people waiting to submit. If history is any indication, they will probably relax/revise the submission criteria at some point, and if you still have a card design, you can hopefully design a more creative card without disappointing players like yourself.
