Game needs Eternals back (and here's why) |Petition|

Hello fellow exiles!

Let me start by saying, I know a lot of people do not care about eternals, have never found them, or never used them. But I believe there is a need for them in PoE, and it is a long term need. This game has been, and still has the potential to be one of the best games ever IMO, but the lacking eternal is a huge flaw.

Let me get straight to it.

Most would agree that 6t1 mirrored items are the ultimate goal in this game of grinding for gear. When eternals were removed, a perfect "mirror monopoly" was created. As things stand, if you're melee, you want to get this:



Likewise, if you're ranged, you want to get this:



*These crafts are amazing and I mean no offense to my friend, the crafter, SKALPO

Okay so let's say everybody plays smart, saves up, and gets these items. Is that really what GGG wants? Everyone in standard using the same two damn items? REALLY?

When making the decision to remove eternals, I truly believe if there was more consideration given, the better option would be removing mirrors and making eternals MORE common. As things stand, once you get the BiS mirrored items, what is there left to do? Work on crafting your own set of gear? Nope, that has been removed as a long term goal. Before anyone goes on to mention master crafting, let's be honest... Bench crafting offer a few powerful mods, but most mods are simply there to make the item grind smoother in early game and to get you through merciless. Path of exile's real gameplay (at least in my eyes) starts after level 90. I just can't believe the dev's would really want all level 90 or 95+ or whatever aiming to get the same half-dozen mirrored weapons. That is just not interesting at all, and I really think this game would be better off if there were more than one option to obtain BiS gear. If everyone had different weapons/gear with different names and slightly different mods, that they decided were the better option for themselves and their build, this game would be so much more INTERESTING.

I know GGG believes in master crafting but it has huge flaws. I have many items rotting in my stash because there is no safe way to finish crafting them using master benches, and they are far to valuable/perfect to yolo ex.

Ultimately, the eternal change affects a small percentage of the players, but it is the difference between making PoE a game you play for 2 years, vs a game you play for 10 years. I am at a point where I haven't financially supported the game since the eternals change and I probably won't unless they bring back eternals, and along with them, the longevity this game inherently should possess.

Please consider this thread a petition, if you agree with me, please post and sign this thread. Let's bring back the orb that makes the grind, the chase, and the hunt REAL!!!

It's funny that some people think that just a simple item prevents this game to be one of the best, but performance issues and imbalances mean nothing... Really funny.

Eternals were fine addition to the game which I simply don't understand why it was removed. I can understand from standard but in TEMP leagues? I find that a mistake personally.

I would not be against the return of eternal orbs but I also would not stop supporting or playing due to the lack of them.

You can consider me signed for all intents and purposes.

economy is much worse since they removed eternals from the game. exalts are 65-70c. end game is dead. game is not offering reasons to play for the perfectionists anymore.

eternals and perfect-almost perfect items were one of the colorful side of the game. if you wanna remove something, remove mirrors. increase the drop rates of eternals and exalts. make crafting accessible for high-tpğ-try hard players. now in this state, no one can craft anything. and before 2.0 only 10 people were be able to craft items in the game.

just look at this picture from 3rd view, doesnt it look very stupid to you too?

also,complaining about balance issues, graphic engine issues makes anyone look really cool, i agree with that, but fixing them takes 50 men work for 3-4 months, adding eternals back and adding some blood to the dead economy is just 1 week of work of GGG.

I don't disagree but this game has tons of flaws besides removal of eternals.

i agree with you and want the eternals to come back.
You got my sign!

very nice items :)

Eternal Orb's should be reintroduced to the game for sure.

Would be something additional for end game players to fool around with, we only want the best.

And crafting is dead so why not?

actually removing eternals are not affecting small percentage of players. eternals/mirrors... in short... high end items are creating a vortex effect, making things turn around it and give economy a momentum to be able to carry thousands of players with it. economy doesnt have a momentm anymore. this economy can carry nobody to where they put their goals on. über service gives no profit, über atziri farming gives no profit, atziri farming is just a waste of time. farming maps is just profitable enough to provide entry level temp league builds. so what passionate players do? manipulate the economy and flip items... in other words, make rich richer, make poor poorer. im not a saint or tryng to put a moral correctness to the game, but if GGG wants this game easier for low end players they gotta fix these economical issues. removing eternals really dstroyed the economy further more, exalts are 70c, 6l items are much cheaper than 6l linking recipe. everything that comes out of struggle gives no profit at all. only flipping brings big profits, nothing else matters.
