T1 or Super Rare Unqiues

Hi, I play since closed beta and I only missed one or two temporary league. Didn't count how many hours I played but I can say that I played a lot. I never found a T1 unique as well. I stopped playing a little before the end of the beyond league because I really don't enjoy end game in POE and I was bored to reroll again and again without dropping any good item or currency.
However I came back because of the divination card which seemed for me that this game wasn't anymore all about RNG. So I started to farm Dried Lake only. In tempest I got a 86, a 85, a 83, a 82, a 73 and they only did Dried Lake. Don't even want to know how many runs I did.

Rewards : - Brittle Emperor --> 0
- Valuable unique --> 0
- Exalted orb ------> 0

This is exactly what I am asking myself and I can't find any answer. Guess it's time for me to quit.

You'll find those if you play long enough.

This wasn't really the answer I expected...

Maybe I should have flipped items in the AH, oops I mean on POE trade. Because it seems it is the only way to make profit in this game. Too bad I prefer killing mobs than trading.

So this is my feedback about drops in this game. Because I don't like to only whine I will give a little suggestion as well for drops : maybe try to add some kind of entropy like you did with evasion, it solved the bad luck issues and people started to play evasion again.

Will still continue to read next patch notes because I still believe (a little) in this game.

The thing that concerns me is how are we meant to progress our characters levelling past 90 is impossible with out high level maps with dont drop enough to sustain them selves and you cant get decent gear with out doing the same high level maps many 100s of times.Trading has reached the point now that ALL the top tier items are priced well out of all but the most no life traders price range.

GGG needs to either rethink the way rares spawn their mods or make a proper system of trade while the orb system is great for crafting it sucks donkey balls for trading.

Yo, drop rates just got an INSANE buff.
We're gonna be like:

"Shavs drop? Nice!"
"Shavs. Okay. Into the stash you go, in with the other 17."
"Shavs? Again? Jeez. They said 4x better drops, but feels like 400x".
"Another Shavs? Fuck."
"Shavs... again?! I wonder what it vendors for.."
"Shavs! Another 12 alc shards at the vendor! YES!"

Nobody in this thread asks for the INSANE amount and the caricatural scenario you're painting.
I don't ask for 15 shavronne's to drop per hour. I'm just saying that when you play 2k+ hours in a game and you get nothing, you feel bored and there is maybe a problem. There is probably something between your scenario and reality. I call this balance.

I feel like I played a P2W without item maul at the moment...
Anyway, feedback given to GGG. Might be a good thing for them to know why a player leave. This isn't the only reason but i'd say it is the icing on the cake.

Let's say the drop chance is one in a million. They buff it four times. Now your chance becomes one in 250,000.

I wouldn't call that "INSANE". The scenario you described is not going to happen.

I have a better guess at what's going to happen. The forum after one week:

"FU GGG WHERE'S MY SHAVS"

"I FARMED DOMINUS FOR 5 HOURS AND A HALF, GOT NOTHING, FU GGG I QUIT"

Soul taker drop in standard and mjolner in torment, binos too.
Zero mf both but decent clear speed.

Clear speed = best mf imo.

Dunno if its safe to assume:

Clear maps twice the speed, yields double the items in same amount of time.
That includes orbs and uniques.

This is somewhat true, if you assume you have unlimited maps and map rolling resources.

^This.

Shower me in Shavronne's, hammer me with Mjölners, cover me in Kaom's. If your content is gated behind trade wealth, it all means fuck all.

Chris answered this question and I wanted to give feedback and see if anyone else has had similar findings:

"

As a magic finder character (IIR 450 IIQ 140) I would like to know what are my possibilities (from 1 to 100%) of getting for example a unique such as a Shavronne's Wrappings Occultist's Vestment, a Mjloner or even a Mirror? Can you give me please a exact number in order to know if it is worth it to be a MF in PoE.

"

You'll find those if you play long enough.

I have 13 or so 80+ characters and have done many many maps and have never had a T1 unqiue drop. Obviously I don't want T1 unqiues to be super common, but at some point you have to ask yourself why you play a game that literally hasn't rewarded you with those rare items that according to this statement of "play long enough" should have happened.



Anyone else have this "bad" of luck?

Yes, my luck is crap too. Never dropped one and I've created as many high level characters as yours (deleting them cause I play only on HC.

But imagine if the most unlucky of us were still complaining that they hadn't dropped a T1 unique and then the devs made it so that even he drops one. What would happen then?

The "luckier ones" would have 4-5 of these T1 uniques and the server would be full of them. Nerfing the drop rate is another mistake.

Why don't you go back to where you came from? Would you also like every T1 item coming with your character's creation? I bet you would. Shame your money and complaining is destroying this game too.

On the contrary, I'm fine with T1 uniques being rare, I LOVE the muti-thousand hour item hunt.

Content? That's a different story. Nice reading comprehension, you shot, you missed, by a ball park.
