Endless Delve really shows up how bad loot drops are and how bad the fossil drop rate is.

Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.

SSF, you have to take what you get and combine it in some usable manner. Above is what I used. I have other gear pieces that on an individual comparison are better, but I couldn't swap them in because the total package matters and there is no crafting bench to fix something lost. For example, could not use any of the following because I couldn't lose the cold resist and mana from the armor I had on. In other words, these would only be usable if could find other gear to with these pieces, to make up the complete package, though the corrupted 6-link is out: wrong colors, and no way to change it. Edit... lol... Don't know why I didn't quality my helm and shield. Guess cause it didn't matter. 3K life + 3K energy shield was enough. Last edited by Galtrovan#5344 on Dec 15, 2020, 10:44:16 AM

Agree on fossil drops, they over nerfed that at lower levels.
This stuff about 'usable' gear is really starting to gnaw on me after all these years. Everything is usable. The leather belt that gives 15% fire resist and nothing else is usable if it gets you to resist cap and you haven't found anything better. Then you play. Then you find something better. Congrats, now less of the loot that drops will be an upgrade and you'll have harder time crafting something better. Then you play a lot more. Then you find something even better. Then the cycle repeats. You people take your preconceived notions of 'usable' from the last trade league you played and can't adjust your mindset to the new restrictive set of rules. That's not a game mode problem, that's a you problem. |

" Probably because most people prefer not playing SSF for a reason. It's a mode for masochists, and endless delve is an outlier of core issues that the game has which forces people to trade in the first place. Imagine if GGG did something similar to endless delve, but instead of delve, you get Harvest encounters constantly instead. SSF, no crafting benches, no beastcrafting, no other league encounters, all you've got is Harvestcrafting. People would complain that they can't minmax their gear without beastcrafting and the crafting bench, but how many would complain that it's difficult if not impossible to get a good 5l/6l or the gear they actually want? I doubt very many would. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds. Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

" I agree, but we're in the thunderdome of SSF Delve only :) It is what it is, and it is not what it is not. I'm all for more events though. If GGG wanted to run it back with a different rule set I'd play that too. But I suspect you'd see the same people shift their complaints to the next cut off point. 'this is good and all but what about conqueror orbs?' 'Ok so they finally put blight encounters in the Delve, but my character would be a lot better with Metamorph. They could easily add it too, they're just lazy!' |
