Changes to Rewards in Path of Exile: Scourge
 Saw poepl posting this issue still not being resolved so I'll jump in with my own | |
|
My suggestion for reducing the amount of useless items that drop in PoE, is to remove all pre-scourged from the drop table. They are absolutely dog shit tier, always, not most of the time... ALL the time.
This league is quite possibly one of the worst leagues I have ever played in terms of rewards from the mechanic. The only thing good about the mechanic is the slight exp boost from doing it, 16 times in a map. I am so confused on why even drop these dogshit pre scourged items, they always have shit tier mods, or at best mediocre tier mods mixed with dogshit mods. I just wonder how the pitch to add them in went... "ok guys, we want these awesome items to drop, they give you a shitty scourge implicit, and an overtuned downside that makes the item useless, mixed with a bunch of trash mods that no one wants... then just in case there is POSSIBLY something useful on the item, it will come CORRUPTED so the losers can't ever work on the item reasonably!!! LOL!!!!1111!!1!" |

yup, still broken Also, can we get the flask beastcrafting to be descriptive of the outcome? Deer, urchin and skunk isn't helping. I have to google it every freaking time Last edited by snowmittens on Oct 30, 2021, 8:43:43 AM

Please make new pool for rare drops
Remove the crap mods no one wants You keep ralking about picking up items well make them worth picking up I NEVER pick rares since harvest nerf not even to do the chaos recipe This could be the best game ever if you fixed the gear drops and gave us deterministic crafting What the poiny in scourge when the item is shit AND cant be crafted ? Like seriously who in their right mind would equip this yo their character ? Please make the gear great again Respect Your strength is the law !!

" Totally agree. this is insane. Got a lvl 55 character on first 2 days, not a single usable item. Leveling was hell on earth. Not a single minute of fun. Where's the game? Not even a chaos orb drop after 55 levels ! and when reaching the maps, its even worse : oneshot everytime. What's the point of this, for an average user like me? I deleted my 1st character of frustration, and rerolled because mapping was a pain in the @ass, not a single good item in 65 levels. This is insane GGG. Please fix this league, no more fun in this game. No more, its so sad | |

still no fix for scourged map with auto switch and you spend the last part of the map pressing V key to exit nightmare mode because there is no monsters left in it but there are tons of monsters in normal map. And in the last part of the map every time you kill 2 monsters you have to wait 3s of CD to go abck to normal mod, that sure is a LOT of fun to have action stopped every 3 sec and wait another 3 sec for nothing. Sure you did a LOT of testing on those ... Just entering T6 and already faced the issue 3 times.
And yeah, you boosted scourge instead of nerfing it. A claimed nerf that is in fact a boost (the opposite is quite always true too). Great ... Another 50% / 1 weak players dropping track, it'll be fatal someday you know. Last edited by Atlantis_arch on Oct 30, 2021, 9:49:28 AM

"Scourged items will no longer be able to generate downsides that would directly counteract their upside. For example, an item with "Added Physical Damage" will not be able to generate "Deal no Physical Damage" as a downside."
Yeah nah, I just scourge an AWL with 12 to 23 cold damage and Deal no cold damage. You didn't fix shit. | |
"Like people are believing what GGG is saying ... |

Want to have another bug ? You SURE did a LOT on testing really. I tested on purpose just once and BINGO here it is. Scourge mod=> enter a betrayal research lab = no countdown But the juicy part is : scourge mod runs out, you renter lab and tadaaaaa no syndicate member to kill, betrayal mod of the map ruined, GREAT !!
I play since legacy and report usually 10 to 20 bugs. Last league I skipped because trying some other games tired of GGG not fixing bugs (one bug reported got fixed about 3 years later, at least was claimed to be fixed lol). The last 2 leagues I played I was tired of reprorting bugs because you GGG don't care. Your tool for interacting with us base players (either chat or "forum") is crap, a disgrace that even a phpBB from 20 years ago is shaming. I say things when they are great. At least there is no lag/bug to go in/out of scourge and since betrayal we are used to lags/bugs/bsod of new mecanics and this part is GREAT. But you also have again tons of bugs and no way to track/fix/dialogue with us properly. You'll keep deceiving base players with one of the most anoying bug arund these days : dmg received 1 to 2 seconds (!) before the animation of the dmg dealt. Godlike frustration of beeing crushed without beeing able to even know how to even improve for the next time. And it happened since years but nowdays it happens several times per day. |

Concept of scourge was effectively thrown to trash can.
Who deside that players want to waste a lot of theyr time to brick they good items in this shit? Somebody from GGG played PoE? Designers of this stupid league realise that 99.9% rare scourged items that drop naturaly simply not worth time to even see how exactly they was rolled by loot generator? This league can be good, but only if: 1. Scourge modification can be deleted and item can be scourged again from zero. 2. Scourge mods are not being related to corruption at all. This two simple things allows player to actually play the game and actually use game mechanics instead of just pull the lever and hope that casino show magical '777' in the item rolls. E = mc^(OMG)/wtf
