A Message to Everyone
" I did talk about time spent. I spent lots of time. Just as in this game I have spent lots of time, yet I have near nothing to show for it. " It's hard comparing a zod to a high end PoE unique because a Zod say for BOTD is only one piece of a very expensive piece of gear, not the entire piece just falling in your lap. " No. PoE crafting is like gambling with HRs and PGems. Diablo 2 gambling would be like crafting with only chances or alterations. That's the only way I see that being related. " Drawing points as a relation, and wanting the SAME economy are far from the same. I don't want a change of economy, I want a change of the progression track of items. " As if players don't RMT right now anyway? I certainly don't condone it, but you let me know how long it would take you to get the currency to purchase a Kaom's Heart without flipping, and then tell me if after that amount of time you would even fathom spending it in HC. " You are under the assumption that EVERYONE botted and duped. Some of us did not, and as a result had to farm, just as we do in PoE. I go back to this again. We didn't need RNG to farm end game, we could get any items off of the end bosses. I didn't see TGODs off ONLY ubers bosses. The reason a lot of these items are expensive here is that they are GATED. " How? What's the 100% reward when using a fusing to try and go from a 5L to 6L? There's a chance to BRICK the item to no links at all. That's not a reward. It's not that it does nothing, it actually can get WORSE. " Implying Pindle was in ubers. I used blizzard to farm on my MF sorc. I used a smiterdin or hammerdin and co. to rape ubers. " Link to summoner solo MF build please? Could I farm dom with that build? Do I have access to all map only drops with that build? ---- " If you don't disagree why combat the thread if not for bias? What solutions have you to offer? " Woah 45 mins a day? I played D2 like it was my life. I didn't finish high school because of WoW / D2 some would argue. Some other person in the thread said that, and I would agree with you. I'd say it took dedication to find anything, or at the very least a lot of time. At least in D2 I could make a din of some kind and FARM the end game bosses with literally zero problems. In this game, your build determines whether or not you can even get to piety/dom. Reflect anyone? In D2 you could have 20k dps and one shot most of the game, and it was still enjoyable even then. |

" In order to not HAVE TO TRADE AND FLIP ALL DAY one does in fact need a farming character to play a VAST MAJORITY of the current build archetypes / meta. |
|
" No I've never been flipping, neither spending much time trading, just what I needed ( and I don't have a godlike gear, neither and OP build ). I built my own char apart from the "popular" archetypes even though it has some similarities with some. And I don't have a dedicated farming char, I don't need one to be quite efficient at playing in maps. It would seem like usually, people claiming that a farming character or flipping/trading all day is required are people that are somewhat frustrated because their char doesn't perform in end-game maps without godlike gear. Of course, for chaining 100%q lvl78 maps, this must be different, but it is so because people are not really supposed to do so. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading. Last edited by Fruz#6137 on Jan 29, 2014, 10:49:09 AM

" Map management? That only improves your chances by a bit. Don't get me started about the degenerate map system... |
|
" I don't have any problems at all to keep up a 75+ map pool drop wise, the limiting factor is currency. Don't even wanna know how expensive progression gets at your level. |
|
" You have no problems, yet you say that it's expensive? Why is it that LEVELING should cost the in game currency in the first place? Do you agree with this? RNG Maps + RNG Currency ~= RNG Gear / Wealth |
|
" I don't have any problems at all to keep up a 75+ map pool (map) drop wise. I don't agree with the current 74+ maps system. I'd be ok if it was expensive like it is now if they compensated with iir boni for higher maps or similar stuff. Also risk vs. reward for some map bosses is way off. |

" 1.10 destroyed game balance and the game's economy was built around duping being a foregone conclusion. pre 1.10 was a very different and far more enjoyable (and balanced) game. |

I was going to reply to you again but your dead set on glorying D2 without proper conclusions of the same thing.
Your going to say shit like "In this game, your build determines whether or not you can even get to piety/dom." Where your build in D2 was str for gear, dex for enough blocking if you used shields and all into Vit. When pgems are 1000x more valuable then alterations and whatnot your going to say "PoE" crafting is more expensive and "more random." Your going to somehow debate that D2 were it's completely duped/botted 24/7 which is why anyone can see any "good gear" (mind you it wasn't even the best, you don't even know how the high end crafting and jeweling part of the game) make the game fun because you got it. Then when I told you that you didn't find it yourself and someone else duped and botted it for you, your going to dimiss that because your telling me you could at least farm with bosses with your shitty ass characters for "end game" were you compare endgame with shit like pindle or baal as oppose to >ubers< which is extra hard extra content like maps/ I am combating your thread because it isn't feedback, it's literally whining about the game based on unfair premises. I'll support 6-linking after like 2000 fusings or that you can't brick your item (go down links) if you use more fusings. Not because fucking D2 was an great amazing game, or for some reason "trading/farming/killing bosses" in the most horrible thing in existence and you found nothing. But even though you never found those same rare items in D2 and prob traded for duped/botted D2 items it was totally okay. I'll support it because that'll make >sense< based on the own merits within the game. Last edited by RagnarokChu#4426 on Jan 29, 2014, 6:46:41 PM

I've found 2 BoR, chanced a shavs, found 2 LG, in a party of 2 saw a ming drop, etc.
The items obviously drop. |
