Except that's exactly what it means. Chris's note says exactly that. The drop rates were hugely reduced, and that effects everyone.

Not really, at least not in the same way.

What got reduced is drop rates from mobs in general, but not from mechanics themselves. That brutalized the profitability of juicing things up, especially in group, coordinated setting, because that has been focused on maximizing the drops from mobs while it can't really scale mechanics (you still can't get more than one expedition per map, or more than one set of rituals...etc).

The more casual playstyles, like alch and go, bossing, or boss fragment farming, didn't really get hit all that much, because that playstyle gets most of the loot from not-mobs, which has about the same yield now as it always did.

So, this was actually a Robin Hood-type nerf, which hit the rich, and helped the poor (value obtained from less hardcore playstyles is now, comparatively, a lot closer to the hardcore one).

Yeah but nobody plays Last Epoch.

As a solo player i haven't seen any differences in drops yet.

try alva and breach and you see it quite clearly


you have pretty much 4 options left expedition / heist / legion / blight


everything else drops alot less, and i feel it as a solo standard player :)

People are mad they didn't get all they need in first 2 days of the league and a mirrior on top of it, as it was befre :((((( such a sad story :(((

I mean this guy have abuse the system of shared aura , party bonus and MF ing since he crawl out of the hole . Like as a solo player clearly that's unfair and when someone called him out his first reply was life's is unfair and made some insulting comments on Africa as comparison resulting on his ban. He should be grateful instead he rage quit like candy was taken away from a child . I mean I understand some streamer anger like ghazzytv about animate guardian

Bro are you ok?

Why is he angry? Same reason everyone else is angry.
No loot, awful AN mobs...

If you ask me even more streamers should stop streaming POE until Chris wakes up. Maybe even going so far and ironically streaming the new Diablo 3 season.

My loot has always been bad since 2016, feels good to know at least now others have the same cursed loot as I have always had.
Aside from that I've been luckier this league with drops than I have in previous leagues (got 1 primordial might jewel). Although I will say not many orbs of alchemy are dropping which is disappointing and 99.9% of the handful of uniques I get are worthless junk, but again that's nothing new aside from the reduced unique drop rate which was announced prior to league start.

Empy and his crew play at a different level than the most majority of the player base. That said, EVERYONE is massively affected by these loot changes. I know I am, and it is hurting my enjoyment of the game.

I play POE to kill shit and be rewarded. I want my reward to scale with investment. If I cant "juice" what the hell is the point?
