I just had a disturbing thought
|
I like the heist league...obviously i don't like the bugs, but the mechanics of it are enjoyable. But, i have been looking over the kind of rewards you can get this league like the replica items and such and i just don't see anything i want to get. Kind of a horrible thought really, just nothing new to try to pick up that seems all that great for the kind of builds i make. Oh well, guess ill just play til i get my fill.

This probably says more about the kinds of builds you're interested in than the uniques. There's a lot of potential builds scattered among them imo. Can you really think of nothing to do with Replica Trypanon, or Replica Alberon's Warpath, or Expedition's End, or Chains of Emancipation, or Blunderbore, or Replica Oro's Sacrifice, or Replica Maloney's Mechanism or Maw of Mischief? Or do those ideas simply not appeal to you? I suspect the latter is more likely.
For reference, here's a compilation of all of them - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2937599 And here's another resource that might help you get into the kind of mindset (or outright give you ideas) for making creative builds in this game - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2954310 |

" Has to be endgame viable to be interesting and only 5 or so of the new uniques out of 100 are usable. Feels kind of bad. |

" And that only reveals your priorities. Protip: Stop universalizing your perspectives. People don't all think the same. Besides, you say that based on what? The community has had a little over a week with these things. I'd reserve judgment myself. Patience, humility and open-mindedness are virtues worth inculcating, especially in as experimental a game as PoE is. This is precisely why I shared Neato's channel - it pays to think things through like he does. Last edited by Exile009#1139 on Oct 1, 2020, 4:05:53 PM

" This is the prevailing sentiment on the Reddit, and one I find quite odious. Hopefully GGG sees it and it serves as a reminder of how important it is to both keep their end game content accessible to a variety of builds, and to not gate rewards too heavily behind the absolute hardest content. The old atlas system nailed this in that you could still get a 'jackpot' watchers eye from yellow map tier elder, while perfect ones were still more gated. Legion too far, but was a good example of how when low tier play is rewarding, your skill choice matters a lot less because you can gather currency with damn near anything. |

Two things we need to remember here:
1) GGG don't want unique items to be (even close to) BiS. 2) GGG want certain skills to be better than others. I agree with the first, but the road from 'more or less useless' to 'BiS' is pretty long, and they're not utilizing this road. I also agree to the second, but again - the 'range/scale' between the best skills and the worst, is too big. They seem a little bit too afraid to make both items and skills "GOOD" these days, and it takes a little bit of excitement away from the game. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

I find most thoughts disturbing... we're better off without them.
On that subject though... I really want that sword that transfers to your skeletons. Bad. Last edited by Shagsbeard#3964 on Oct 1, 2020, 5:19:22 PM

" You can get it for like 30c - https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/JaZbX09fl Btw, it also transfers your weapon mtxes to your skeletons. :) Last edited by Exile009#1139 on Oct 1, 2020, 6:27:22 PM

" One of the least disturbing things I've read on here in a while. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |
