Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Lower 6 link fusion cost - Forum

It's about probabilities and averages. GGG wants the guaranteed payout to cost slightly more than the average required if you gamble with your currency, which I believe was found to be between 1200 and 1500 fusings in independent player-conducted trials. That way, if you want a guaranteed payout you have to pay slightly more, and if you want to save currency, you have to gamble that you won't get what you want within the average range to normally do so. tl;dr 1500 is the ideal cost for a guaranteed 6-link unless they change the probability of getting one with a single fusing. So why not make it 1200 not 1500 orbs then? Because they want it to cost more to get a guaranteed payout than the average cost if you gamble. Not the same. And definitely not at the bottom of the average range.	Posted by sainthazard#0423 on Dec 1, 2017, 11:28:01 AM Quote this Post
Honestly I hope this won't happen. What makes this game nearly endless is how hard it is to get what you want. If in a couple of hours you could get all your best in slot items, I would get bored so quick. I've only 6 linked twice but the fact that it is so hard to do it makes it feel crazy good and rewarding. If I'd be able to get that on a weekly basis, what's the point of even playing?

If you can't farm that much currency then where do you need a 6-link (?) Not that you need a 6-link for anything but just saying.	Posted by Fapmobile#0758 on Dec 1, 2017, 11:34:17 AM Quote this Post

Also since no one else has said it yet and it's the law of the land I have to step in and say 1500 fusings is only 750 chaos and 750 chaos is only 8 exalts and 8 exalts is only 1 mirror shard so git gud skrub	Posted by sainthazard#0423 on Dec 1, 2017, 11:35:12 AM Quote this Post

Or, you could get the item that is meant to fill this void for folks who mistakenly made a build that requires a 6L but don't have the time/patience/skill to get a 6L. Thanks for all the fish!

It really makes it shine. 8% or lower is for the poor and 10% or higher is for elitists. Thanks for all the fish! Last edited by Nubatron#4333 on Dec 1, 2017, 11:42:27 AM	Posted by Nubatron#4333 on Dec 1, 2017, 11:38:55 AM Quote this Post
