No this i know. I mean in and before delirium i was able to make 200+ exalts by farming.
But for past 2 leagues played same amt of time, but didnt get past 10 exalts.
And now a days, 10 ex builds just keep dying and so are boring...

Eh what? Loot is getting balanced more and more around casual play, By pure farming like i do i make 20 times then what i made a year ago, the mountain of loot has gotten completely out of hand.
How are you making less?

I dont know man, I reach 90 and i do maps, but chaos simply doesnt drop
For trade, i try to sell some items
but eventually its like, i am not able to high tier yellow maps
and the drops i get are pure shit

VJ, it seems more like you are suffering from a little game fatigue (10ex builds are ALL boring?) or your favorite builds were nerfed and you need to try other things. Just my 2c.

The game is more annoying in some ways (Ive never met anyone who loves juggling watchstones, tedious) but its not harder.

I do not think you are right.
I tried totems, summoners, coc, block
I cannot survive high tier yellow maps with whatever i play

Honestly of all the people i know and talk to in game. Your the only one who thinks loot is getting balanced.
Previously i could atleast think of doing zana mods on maps. But now chaos seems like such a valuable currency, that thats what its to me (currency only to buy stuff)
But then again, you have 40 challenges, so ur def better than me. As i said me newbie who copy others

Mate try the other games out there they are maybe a bit better suited for u/ Maybe.. I not sure if u can but try "Lost Ark" .. its the best out there at this point of time.

But dont feel too bad..lots of people in the same boat as you.

I mean ofc i am playing lol and torchlight.
But i like the game, and just keep asking people, if they are making things easier or not.
Ofc cant play till they do...
I failed at both leagues at yellow maps lol

I don't think it's dated unless you're a super flipper or rush to end game riches which OP is not ready for.

Just what I wanted in my gaming, setting up a new IT project....

It is cool, but god, way to turn PoE into an actual job.

Thats so true. So many loot pinatas from temple trials, syndicates, cards, fossils, etc etc etc...these guys have no clue what was. Heist alone dropped me 13ex by lvl 93. First couple leagues I never dropped more than 3.

I am old school, work hard and make a shit ton of RL money.. so when i play POE i just want to kill shit and get my loot that way not start a second job.. In which case some other games out there do that way better.

POE keeps me going for about 4 maybe 5 weeks then i move on to other game.

so etc , etc.

Hi

Simple question, please help.
I am a newbie who always farms chaos recipe and buy items for some build posted by others.

But for past two leagues, due to drop rate nerfs and build nerfs i have not even been able to get to 12 challenges properly

Acc to patch notes posted, do you guys think i should even try to play the 3.13 ?
Is it going to be more hard then what was already so hard?

---

It takes quite a while to learn how to play this game. Challenges are just some random thing GGG makes up to keep people playing - it means nothing. What is important IMO is that you become a better player and that takes research and practice. 3.13 should be the best league ever, you should play it for sure.

And I am going to be a little tough on the next subject. Builds and loot has never been better the past 2 leagues. You need to do the work to get better. I hope you stick it out because this game is amazing.

No idea how are you faling if you are copying others builds. Follow the guide, dont make any changes (90% of times when people fail in situations like this is beacuse they changed things while not knowing hw the game works and just made build worse)

Im also casual player tho i better prefer harder game than easy where they give you everything without hard work...
