A really hard boss whose defeat grants a one time single item to be 6-linked ?

Suggestion fails at "really hard boss"... To fulfill that category it'd need to be something that 1shots every build and has several phases to prevent CoD abuse.

I'd have so many 6L's like holy fucking shit.

gimme half of them

Bad idea. Really bad idea. Don't even need to explain why.

But I will.

Currently, a 6L is a goal. Removing goals from the game will make the game less fun. Granting 6Ls for "whatever" isn't a good idea, since it would simply increase the supply of them to the point where they would have to be considered "standard" and have the game balanced accordingly. Then they wouldn't be a goal... they'd simply be a step in the process.

Keep them just out of reach. Keep them special. Don't ruin it by asking them to be made more common.

wow a bunch of greedy self centered folks here."flooded with 6 links".I have played for 2 years and i have never NEVER obtained a 6 link of any kind what so ever.and i have finally a lvl 89 char i like to play ,kinda hit a road block a bit i noticed leveling is harder.i guess its nice that those here can find such gear with ease.i had to buy my atziri axe for 10 exalts,and its only a 5 link,the 10 exalts was absolutely everything in my stash box of 30 tabs to get,that i have been saving since talisman launched.

So people who already have multiple 6 links say no it will ruin the(their) game.

People who dont have any 6 links say yes id like to be able to play to the fullest.

My question would be to the people who have many 6 links do you feel having 6 links has ruined your game? As you state that having easy access to 6 links ruins the game and to be fair you bought most of yours which is far too easy IMHO.

And to the people who dont have them do you feel that not having a 6 link has ruined your game? Or has the goal of a 6 link kept you playing self-found as again if you traded you would have easy access to 6 links.

Agreed.

^A 5-link from Malachi merciless, now that suggestion i would enjoy.

That might actually provoke me to finish the story line before jumping into maps even.

On-topic : no thanks. 6-links are already extremely common when compared to a year ago, divination cards seriously did a number on them.

Not to mention the fallacy of this suggestion, which would end up spoon-feeding the rich even more wealth.

What people do ubber in a league? The poor guys with massive amounts of skills? Or the guys with a full invulnerability build face-tanking and right clicking the shit out of the encounter?

"skills" = arbitrary and subjective concept

"hard boss" = totally reliant on context, their is no "one hard boss" in PoE since you can counter-play/build for all of them.

Not a bad idea, but it would need polished...

Imagine a boss that hits hard without being one of those "one shot kill" but with a lot lot lot lot of life. Imagine you have just 1 portal and the boss fight is against time (5 minutes maybe?)...
Now, imagine that GGG invented the mechanism that can detect when the player has made trade or party. The boss guarantees a 6 Link, but if you have done trade or party at some point during the life of the character, 6 Link is not guaranteed but only 5. And if you die you can never fight the boss again with the same character...

That will be interesting.

Here's the thing... you wouldn't have been playing for two years if 6Ls happened every month or so.

Here is the thing:

A boss harder than uber Atziri. I know tons of people who have been playing the game for a while, and still struggle with plain old Atziri. The only thing this might do is lower the price of Divine orbs, if you allow any 6L to appear, regardless of base type. While the cards definitely brought the price down on 6Ls, to say there is "no goal" seems silly when there are still tons of goals that can be achieved, even if it means the bar on this particular one is lowered.

A 6link would be really nice, but as it stands I am not interested in gambling all my currency or storing fusings on 2 full stash pages, because I want a 6link.
Simply manual 5link the stuff I want to use, and that is it.

For most stuff a 5link is enough, 6 link is a little extra, like 50% more dmg, but if you don't want to grind up to lv 100 then 5link is enough for your gameplay experience, not to tal kabout the mana cost difference between a 5l and 6l.

But as things are now, there should be implemented a vorici thing, for example if you go for the fixed price, still get the cance to obtain more links.

Oh and I disagree with this free 6link stuff just because there are already more than enough cookie cutter builds that are used to farm certain content, and what they do is push up the prices of items that could be nice for some fun builds, but since the majority of theese "pro" players use that they are expensive as fuck.
(So yeah, even more would just play the same meta build just to get that 6l)
