Didn't Chris say that they wouldn't introduce new higher tier item mods?

How would you feel about that?

Not bad.

Somehow I have the feeling that you might have a very special perspective, then. I am fairly certain that most standard players would feel very bad if 1k - 2k hours of progress would be deleted from their account.

Play the GAME the way you want to play it. Nothing is wasted, its all in the name of FUN. IN THEORY EVERYTHING YOU OWN IN A GAME THAT BANS RMT IS WORTHLESS. Don't get mad at devs for improving and expanding on the game for everyone just because it affects your narrow minded view of what time will spent in game is.

the new tiers, new weapons... they are over hyped and overrated. at the end of the day, not really worth getting mad about.

new tier ranges to existing mods are small and rare as hell, their improvements to current t1s are negligible.

new maraketh weapons are probably the biggest dud for this xpac, since GGG nerfed their stats after hyping them from the beginning. now they're barely any different or better than existing bases, just look at the database for 2h sword and axe as example... implicits are better, the base flat dmg is no different or even worse.

the rage is misguided, theres nothing really new or exciting other than some jewels and couple skills. the new t1 mods are nothing. your value of current mirror items will depreciate more from lack of interest and underwhelming act 4 for STD folks, than from preference for bis gear.

rage about all the nerfs and the terrible balancing decisions, not new insignificant tiers affecting mirror gear

Yes.

There is one consoling thought, however. When everything is said and done, when the expansion is released and the dust settels, when the new mirrorable items have been crafted, you will visit our shops and buy our legacy items and pay our mirroring fees. We will welcome you and politely conduct our business. Just like in real life.

Probably not.

This thread is a perfect example of how the mirror/eternal 'service' mechanic should not exist in PoE in its current form.

Only ONE exact copy of any rare item should be allowed to exist. Upon mirroring, the created and source item should be locked.

The Eternal orb idea should either be scrapped or reworked.

I agree

Havnt seen a "highl level" crafter QQing, but proof me wrong.

There are some in this thread, I've seen angry people on in-game chat. Their service took a hit. Can't expect the game to stay stagnant.

Crafting is harder, its a logical thing, easy to understand, more mods possible > harder to get wanted results.

Okay I'll admit, getting 6x T1 is hard, as it should be. Again, this is only an issue for a fraction of a percent of the population, aka mirror crafters. Normal crafters with a modest amount of crafting resources aren't gunning for 6x T1, because they know it's not worth the investment for a few extra %'s here and there. We don't know about the chances to roll these mods yet and how the new T2 will be. They could be the same. We'll see.

The only reason for those BS posts is about that 0.1%, and the ppl which invested in mirrors.
Current Mirrored weapons will stay on top the first weeks, some bases wont be re-crafted anyway for months, it highly depends on the meta builds for 2.0.
Also the fact that ppl accept t2 mods has nothing to do with how hard crafting is, but u wanna start a craft from a maximum base roll, like we did with tyranical/glythic over the years.

Again, only an issue for a fraction of the population. If I'm rolling an item, top ilvl, obviously I'm aiming for new T1, but if I'm not aiming for perfection, tyrannical will still work fine for 99% of people. Am I going to alt over or it? No.

2-3Weeks instead of day 2-3. See the diff?

I was speaking in terms of more casual players. I'd wager most players aren't intent on shoving alts into a high ilvl base 2-3 days into a new league. Most are more concerned with making it to end game at that point. Again, only the top percent of a percent of players 2-3 days in are intent on starting their mirror service projects. Not a concern for majority of the population.

All in all, these changes affect the majority of players very little. They open the opportunity to find items with these higher tiers and also happen upon them while crafting.

if I am not wrong, new affix rate has been datamined...

T2 Tyrannical(Tyrannical) 73 155 to 169
0.09%
T1 Merciless(Merciless) 83 170 to 179
0.05%


T2 Glyphic(Glyphic) 64 70 to 74
0.05%
T1 Runic(Runic) 84 75 to 79
0.02%


Crafters : GL :)

are the values for tyrannical and glyphic the old ones or did they get altered?

So these changes are fine for me and dont cry about minor item wipes, we are not talking about itemwipes like WoW or D3, WoW is another genre so i dont compare it that way, but what happend with D3 ist much worser, it was a complete wipe, every highend gear from vanilla got fucked on the way to RoS, like blizz used to do in WowW ever addon another complete wipe.

Soo the player base is split into 3 party, those who are only playing temp leagues ( like me )
the other players are playing mostly temp leagues and standart, and many of them dont care about mirrord gear because of reasons.

then there are those people who are making money with mirror fees or those who have farmed billion of hours for mirrord gear. Those are the players who are now crying, because of sinking value. I can understand that in some way, but this is an ARPG so whats the reason to have BiS gear from start, faceroll every content and then ? you got better gear there are no more levels to go and you have nothing to do -> crying for new content. Those players will be ALWAYS those ones who are crying about every change, so GGG should not bother the crys, because they are giving them something to do, in the long term.

And anyway the biggest part of those games are League it was in D2 and now it is in D3, and minor wipes are good for standart and for new people who wants to play in standart without this fucked up econemy
