Vaal Fragment Changes in 1.2.4d

lmao GGG are you kidding me HAHHAHAHAAHaHh
R.I.P 4.B.
This won't change much imho, maybe now a few players will corrupt carto boxes that's all...

It would've been better to add a "map has a corrupted area" or similar mod to the map pool.

splendid idea. as it is currently, i find more exalteds than vaal orbs.
edit: not really but nearly :). and yes, one could farm fragments for the vaal orb recipe, but the full gear recipe would be a nice addition.

and i would have liked to know if you want to fight these exploits even if that means for te client to always load certain assets if he uses them or not.

@GGG: Keep it up guys. I am here to play the Game you would want to play. And I am enjoying it for 2 years now. Thanks.


by the looks of it in these 2 years you havent seen anything what people are complaining about - it is called end game (or even mid-game)

but.. it somehow.. makes sense. poe endgame is weird to put it mildly.

What part is confusing you? We want end game content by farming END GAME CONTENT.

but not exclusively, i wouldn't remove the possibility for midgame players to farm corrupted areas and sell fragments to high end players.

I also think they drop too less, even now.

Maybe as additional source, but IMHO it would be too expensive.

because we designed the content to be an alternative end-game activity


You guys have to get over the "alternative end-game activity" and let the side areas spawn in maps. This would solve

...nothing.
When will you all finally get it?!? Its NOT an alternative if you put "all-in-one". 'Alternative' means Either-OR.

GET IT!

Lol, such a fail change.

Reason UNO:

Fragment cost 1 chaos at rampage, vaal orb cost same or more, why spend time and vaal orbs when you can simply BUY fragments? You probably should follow ECONOMY of own game?

Rest:
Vaaling maps add significant difficulty (specially HC) - NOT WORTH IT.
You can vaal 66 maps, but it will take more time and currency comparing to docks spamming - NOT WORTH IT.
In full party its 6 players and 1 possible fragment drop, its barely make any sense, highly inefficient comparing to SOLO, so it does not motivate group play, I though GGG stricly against such things?

This change do nothing, docks still gazilion times more efficient, or simply buy frags if you rich.

A small band-aid that does little to nothing to alleviate the poor design decision of having to farm LOW LEVEL CONTENT for access to END GAME ACTIVITIES.
Go back to the drawing board. Read the hundreds of feedback posts on this, because you guys are still lost on this one.

Oh come on. It's an improvement, even if it's not as great as you would like. And I do think collecting and trading off vaal fragments is a fair way to give medium lvl players something to trade.

So: Thank you, GGG, for improving things!

Could've hit two birds with one stone here. Make the mission area bosses/creatures have a chance to drop fragments. A bit arbitrary as far as lore, but solid from a game design point of view.

That is a great idea! I'd like to see that. The only reason I bother with an Elreon in a map these days is because I can give it to others on channel 820. With this suggestion, I'd do them for my own fun as well.
May your maps be bountiful, exile
The fact that even the vendor needs us to go through 8 corrupted zones to get a vaal orb says enough about the return rate of using vaal orbs on maps.
