Jeweler's Orbs and Orbs Of Fusing - enough is enough!

I'm frustated too with burning so much orbs to make nice armor.
But...

Remember one thing.

We are in beta now, we have much less players than it will be in final version.
If the game will develop in good way POE will have ten times (or more) active players than have now.
Orbs are sinking, but good items not.
All 6l, rare uniques and godly rolled rares will stay in the game.
Prices will go lover...
80% of players that will stop playing game will give his godly gear to friends.
If you have nice 5-6l armor, and you want better you are fusing next armor to not destroy your present. So if you will roll better one your prev armor goes back to trading market.
There is much more examples.


Now having nice 6l is dream of 95% players, in one year every good build will require 6l because it will be much more popular.

I'm not reading all the replies, but I've already discussed this before and I think if everyone has 6links, then the 6link is worth nothing and the economy collapses, this would have implications on items like Kaoms Heart too. I don't want everyone running round in 6Ls without having earnt it. Wasted 4exalted on fusing other day but its still game on for me and keep up the good work GGG, nothing Rng about the quality of this game ^^


Further reading,....

Gambling? This is Rng, its not gambling its a game, I use an orb, I have a chance to roll a random stat...its a caculated choice...you think I crafted this by fluke or judgement?



This did make me feel compensated for the 120fusing....there will always be ups and downs in this game, I think it is one of the truly inherent great qualities of the game. I felt great joy at my rolls last night, knowing the pain of previous ones....would not want this game mechanic changed. I would probably quit and at the moment this is the only game I play...

@Thulza_Doom, one game which excelled in it's crafting system was Titan Quest.

you could upgrade any non-unique gear with either a stone fragment or with a complete stone for added bonus.
but the best part were the relics: given a very rare formula and some very rare complete stones - you crafted relics which literally gave your character super-powers.
and the relics had tiers, so you could make a new relic out of an old one + rare stones, which was even more powerful.

getting all those ingredients and the formulas themselves was not easy to say the least, but it truly felt like the game was rewarding you for all your hard work, instead of going "this super-rare stone you needed to kill a giant bone dragon to get, can either upgrade your item or remove all bonuses. it's all in a roll of the dice".

I think Path Of Exile should follow this example, especially considering the fact active skills completely depend on sockets and links.

I completely disagree with people who said "6-socket 5-links are luxury items", and think they really should try to kill a lowly rare zombie in Merciless using no support gems and/or just one active skill, to know how "fun" that feels.

There should be 2 methods: the current "gamblers" method - and then a "guaranteed" method. The guaranteed method should cost a shit ton of materials... but that option should be made available.

I remember Chris saying a guaranteed 6l recipe would come at around 1500 fusings at least. Are you ready for this?

Even if GGG decide to add the "guaranteed method", I don't think this should be it.
It's a simple "solution" that doesn't work at all.

It doesn't take away RNG, it just adds a "cap" to get a 5L-6L. This doesn't change the core mechanic of the "RNG-based fusing/jewelling" at all.

Of course it does not. The RNG part is intended.
If you are not willing to pay a high capped price, then your problem is not the RNG, which would give you a 6L for less orbs in most cases (taking a low calculated risk, of course), but you just want to get the 6L cheaper.

Right now fussing is pointless.

Farming 1200 fussing is WORK not fun, not game, work ... boring as hell. Its not about playing the game but about low lvl content with max iir/iiq.

Alternative "way": a 200$ mirror

Work for 400 hours ingame or for 4 hours real life. Anyone supprised about the sucess of RMT sites?

So the whole point for you is to get a 6L, NOTHING else in the game matters?

You can play high level content and sell the orbs/items you find for fusings. To me, this is more exciting and gets the job done just fine. A month of mapping should give you a reasonable amount of fusings this way. If you happen to get one or two lucky unique drops in this time, a very high amount.

If you do not enjoy yourself playing high level content though, don't do it to play more high level content with more links in your equipment. Twink a new character, play a race, plan some builds, try PvP - or just take a break, if neither option appeals to you.

Really? I don't have any idea about RMT crap and stuff, but 200 USD? That's basically a decent CPU/GPU.

If this is what we arrived at...

"I completely disagree with people who said "6-socket 5-links are luxury items", and think they really should try to kill a lowly rare zombie in Merciless using no support gems and/or just one active skill, to know how "fun" that feels."

I regularly farm hillock on merci with just rarity/quantity gems. I was level 24 farming hillock cruel a minute ago, with 1 support its fine. With a 4L which anyone can get, if you are having trouble killing merciless zombies that shouldnt cause a problem, then your build is probably wrong or imbalanced. I'm not going to respond any more, as I don't think this thread has much relevant bearing to the game...or effect. I think a more justified argument would have to come, not one which is merely putting this game to the mainstream. You've had Elder Scrolls and many other games. Can we keep this like it is please ^^
