General Discussion - So we will lose our 6-links with 4.0? :'( - Forum

Of course, which is why I specify it could be bad if it isn't handled right. This general narrative is just pointing at the scope of how big fitting the old system into the new system is gonna be. Takes putting a square peg in a round hole to a whole nother' level lol Souls along a conduit of blood, from one vessel to the next.	Posted by Zionyaru on Nov 16, 2019, 9:18:58 AM Quote this Post

The only simplification is that you get to use the new gear you find without spending a lot of time and currency on fixing with sockets. Other than that it's deeper than before. Walking the path since August 20th 2011.	Posted by Drudley on Nov 16, 2019, 9:20:48 AM Quote this Post

The hell with that. We need all our fusings converted to Alchs. But that does raise the question of what GGG is going to do (other than just random rng) instead of 6 socket gear (since that's our #1 source of jewellers now) to get us enough jewellers to not be starved for them (PoE is already too much starvation on the important crafting orbs)? "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..." Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

Gonna be interesting to see how they deal with the backlash from this. You don't think they will convert these as well as everything else? What do you mean by convert them? What will these divination cards convert into? I don't understand you.	Posted by kompaniet on Nov 16, 2019, 12:55:43 PM Quote this Post
" I hadn't even thought of this, but I have no way of explaining how dissapointed I am in the way they are implementing this. There is no words for how much time and effort we will lose in this conversion no matter what. Anywhere from 500- 3000 fusings in my experience per item. Paying hefty prices for the six links. Standard is my graveyard, yes... but it's also a place I go to reflect on past leagues and ressurect a dead character for a good couple maps. To see all of my hardwork lose all ingame monetary value, in the way that it was. There is no way the value of these items is going to translate 1:1. No matter how you spin it. It's sad and im bitter. Ill definately play 4.0 but this kind of takes my aspirations away for the next year. Why tf would I grind fusings for a six link right now, without knowing how this will be implemented. GG. That's how you disrespect an old playerbase in favor of getting new players. I am with you. This new system is weird. I see no real benefit. Ok you can have more 5/6 links but you need specific gems with "links"? Old system is cool and unique. They would make linking a bit easier but that´s all. There are many items that provides pseudo 5/6/7 links and stuff like that what will happen to them?.

I like how this will normalize the prices on unique chest/2 handed weapons. It's a huge load off when gearing as well since you won't need to link the item anymore. It means you won't be fucked by RNG when you save up for your bis weapon or armor.

From what I am seeing this new socketing system is dumb. I never thought my excitement for the new expansions would lead to such a terrible change. I liked my PoE the way it was. I'm dissapointed in you GGG and just felt like i needed to vent somewhere.	Posted by Scyill on Nov 16, 2019, 1:14:41 PM Quote this Post
