Do you think PoE needs a "Loot 2.0" overhaul?

Absolutely not, the loot in this game is close to perfect.

The reason D3 needed the overall is because their loot system completely sucked.

Guess what? Sadly, their new system sucks too.

i agree, the stats on gear aka itemization in poe is really good, unlike d3, so poe doesn´t need a drastic measure like d3 there.

which items drop in maps however could use some changes, like no unique drops below itemlevel X in 69+ maps for example, same for low itemlevel base stats on rares.

so you could still farm for low level uniques in lunaris, low maps etc if you want, but no more low level uniques in higher maps, and a bit better chance of higher numbers, if you hit the right stats on a rare item.

but all an all i like items and drops in poe, in every league so far i managed to get at least to level 80 without the need to trade, except for specific gems and that´s ok. and in comparison to beta it is more easy now to hit 80, even with luna/cata runs, and you can find good stuff there also.

ps: example of a rare from catacombs, i still use it a lvl 79 and it was just perfect for my build.



so if maps really mainly are meant to hunt for the best loot, they could use a little fine tuning drop whise like meantioned above, otherwhise loot in poe rocks.

maps dont drop good loot unless you have mf.

Once in a blue moon RNG takes pity even with MF on regardless of how much MF you have.

Frustration will always be there.

I do think the loot system needs a change.

To me it seems that chances for something 'decent' or 'good' are just too small now. High level base items still have very low mod value possibilities, wich has the effect that its just too hard getting something decent from farming (and with 'decent' i dont mean 'exquisite'.
Long grinding should be rewarding, you're playing a game for fun after all.

Some people here probably indeed have been lucky and will say all is fine, or are trolling. But alot of people i know here, grind alot but arent that lucky.
I myself have played (and grinded) this game for over 550 hours and got 1 ex drop and 1 item that was worth over 15c, wich was strangely enough just after i dropped all my IIQ and most of my IIR :S

And what would be wrong if 'self-found' playing gets viable for higher levels?


SUMMARIZED:
Only thing that should be changed (to my opinion) is that the higher the item base level, the lesser low level prefixes/suffixes it should have.

I WANT A DO IT YOURSELF 6 LINK RECIPE PLEASE... linking things has a problem, Ive linked 3 items to 5 link w/ average of 5-20 fusings. now I want to link my carcass jack... already used 80-100 so far... wtf is that so enRnging

I just want a freakin' loot filter, and a robust and flexible one that is. I DO NOT enjoy seeing all that mess flooding my screen when I have to skim through a bunch of whites and blues and rares to find a VERY SPECIFIC base item type or rare type or flask or what NOT! Try this in a map, and also add on top how they force party members to stay close to each other... your group will probably boot you.

So you tell me, then don't toggle "show all loot"? Well damn! What makes a nice bulk of our gaming time in POE? LOOT!

Please, no more where is waldo flask! no more waldo rings! no more waldo items!

i think poe would really need that...

There's always room for improvements, but "Loot 2.0" is a marketing term invented by Blizzard with the suggestion that the original design (inferred "Loot 1.0") is obsolete. Since everyone agreed that was awful, it's a smart branding play by Blizzard.

POE is not in the same situation. GGG did not start out with a loot philosophy designed to make items as 1-dimensional as possible in order to produce an infinite progression. So there is no need to throw out the old system, or use terminology to make it appear as though the old system is obsolete. In this way, Loot 2.0 is not needed.

But can POE loot be improved? It sure can. Make some suggestion and we can discuss those.

For starters ban trash leveling uniques from maps. There is plenty of room from Cruel ACt 3 to the end of Merc Act 3 to farm for that 6 socket Hrymnors Hymn, if you really need it, no need to fkup maps looting with that trash...

I might actually give RoS a shot now.

This legendaries vendor is our chance orbs.
Farm shards until you get a legendary, then, knowing that timer is reset,
spend all shards bying one.

These MVP also complain that Rifts are unrewarding (our maps!!!).

Slashing mobs for dummies.

Please.
This is done to lower amount of complaints (some legit but mostly wishful thinking ones).
