Looking back at D2, why every boss that is worth doing is gated?
|
In D2 you could just go and do baal or diablo or meph runs... whatever you liked. Without relying on random variables, or gated content (which is also gated by RNG)
In POE, elder, gated. shaper, gated. guardians, gated. Atziri, gated. act bosses are not worth your time. Map bosses are not worth you time. Maps themselves are gated, as they are randomly dropped. So unless you wanna buy a specific map, you won't be able to run it as mush as you like to. This is kinda annoying at some point... what do you think? Last bumped on Oct 18, 2018, 6:40:04 PM

" PoE end game revolves around a currency sink and an output. You can not run bosses for free and expect them to drop the rewards they do currently. There were days when people did MF piety for days but PoE evolved past that point in additional to gradually nerfing countless waves of once strong but now useless uniques. IGN: Arlianth

I think by this point in the league I've satcked up so many shards of whatever I need that it doesn't matter

i kind of miss that
just jump straight in, without any currency rolling maps or waiting for elder spawn just to do countless boss runs this will eventually happen because GGG is destroying with ammount of content and actually hear community and feedback (looking at you fucking digusting WoW:bfa) Last edited by Zebedin#5037 on Oct 16, 2018, 12:05:06 AM

I would give anything for real boss runs, and inventory charms again. IGN:Axe_Crazy

" Very much agree with the last sentence. I usually stop a league when I dont want to do more Builds and I cannot progress in maps without excessive trading. They just need to give maps a flat cost in addition to dropping on their own imo. Want to keep running that tier 15? Pay Zana 10C and you are on your merry way! No trade BS! It still rewards smart map and atlas manipulation with map drops but doesn't restrict content behind RNG. Edit: map content behind rng that is.

let me just sell some SOJs and hope uber diablo spawns, then i will pray he spawns at the first unique monster in the game because i know if that ass hat doesn't spawn there then ill spend 6 hours looking through the enter game trying to find him

" Fun Times if shaper and elder Start dropping only rares cause you can easily nonstop farm them. |

I never said that shaper need to be easily accessed. But there is a problem for the casual player, who can spend very limited time playing, to feel like he or she is advancing in this game.
For the casual player it takes too long to access to the gated content, and even when "the gates" are open, it is a one time event. | |

I mean, it surely can't have THAT much of a negative impact if you were to give at least the act bosses some better loot, right?
Most of them are a pain to get to, so we should at least get SOMETHING for fighting them imo. Heck, add in a few more items based on the story bosses and let them drop those or div cards for items based on them for all I care, just give something worth our time (of which usually 50% is spent getting to the bosses, 45% is waiting for invulnerability phases to end and 5% is actual fighting... looking at you, Kitava!). I make dumb builds, therefore I am.
