Let the rich have their toys; the game will never be balanced around them anyway.

Oh I wish I still had this kind of optimism.

PoE is not balanced around 100ex+ gear, like headhunter and hateforge, and it never will be. You don’t need that stuff whatsoever. Things are generally balanced around a top 5% of players, not a top 1%.

I do think the game is too rippy overall, encouraging dps over any defenses whatsoever, but that’s another conversation.

More chase uniques is a good thing, for variety’s sake if nothing else. I personally want to see buffs to underused uniques that put them closer to the power of stuff like, say, xoph’s blood or the pandemonius. Rares should and will be bis, but uniques need to have a purpose and many don’t at all.

I’ve gotten so cynical about it that I’m shocked every time GGG releases a unique which serves a purpose beyond bloating drop pools. SO many uniques released over the past few leagues are instantly vendored - it’s really sad, because people put work into them, especially the art, and it all goes to waste. I don’t get why GGG is okay with that outcome.

the new mjolner in 3.19

if they are going to put trollmaster into the core i hope they keep HF as is.

nice chase item

It's gonna be nerfed to the ground. Hell it's already been previewed and they reverted because outrage and etiquette of not nerfing ppls builds in middle of league.

considering that the majority of the community quit the league already, the net number of the 99,99% is actually not that high

What a pointless, wholely untrue post lol

The game needs more items like Hateforge, and it definitely does NOT need to be nerfed.

100% agreed. We have had very few chase items during the last couple of leagues but it's nice to see more items that hold their value.

Even when it's just midtier stuff like bottled faith or torrent's reclamation.

you know they are going to nerf it. They will probably nerf all existing ones too. because that's what they've been doing lately. It used to be let standard be OP and nerf fresh dropped ones and keep the legacy ones in standard. But now honestly, with how bloated maps are and everything you have to do each league, standard is now more appealing so they don't want you playing standard and that's why I believe they've stopped letting things go legacy.


Each new league: complete atlas again --> now get your craftable watchstones from maven fights --> craft those again, thousands of alts required --> get your damn jun recipes again, still haven't even got the damn -9 to non-channeling skills and have been trying to --> do the same challenges again that you've done so many times already --> get your awakener bonus again --> get to where you want to be in the mines again --> and so much more I'm probably not even mentioning.

I've always been a league player but standard is looking better each league.

Fun is forbidden.

If the game is only fun if you have these type of items, you wont be able to play it for long.
