Chris Wilson: There is no winning the lottery needed.

Another example of extremely bad communication coming back to bite you in the ...

When you write " four-mod Archnemesis rare has a 41000% bonus" sure it doesnt mean you NEED to win the lottery but EVERYONE wants to participate and win it and the simple fact is that it IS a lottery.

I dont need to win the lottery in RL either but it sure as hell would be nice.

now only 98 percent uniques are trash

its a buff

What about the fact i have been amassing exalts for future builds only to find now that divine orbs are the new top currency and my exalts are worthless!!
Everything on trade now is divines!!
Where do i get divines as they hardly ever drop in-game and the recipes and six link sell items has been nerfed.
An absolute joke, GGG need to listen to their player base. I am about done with this now joke of a game.

I mean that's it. The patch tomorrow is the double/triple-down patch. Then it will be some QoL things for the league. Then bug patches. Then 3.20.

The development team will be already going onto 3.20 full-time to finish that up. I just can't see GGG going back on any of this until next year at the earliest or if ever.

Maybe not looking at this again until POE2. If they aren't going to change anything even when the numbers are down. Plus the massive backlash Just worry about what else they gut in the future. Because it seems they are all in for big player numbers and returning players for POE2.

They are willing to take the hit on it.

The main issue is.. sure it is a lottery, but you can't win unless you have a MF culler ready to get there. Otherwise you have to rely on gear swapping or just accept the fact that the golden mob gives you 0-2 divines vs 20-80 with a MF culler(depending on the map mods and altars etc)

The perception means more than the reality. When a Solaris-touched mob appears all you can think about is "I have to stop immediately and call an IIR/IIQ helper to cull this for me or I'm losing a ton of currency." I've had more raw div and ex drop per unit of time played this league than any league in recent memory and the new lottery system STILL feels bad.

I wouldn't expect a miracle patch today. They were 100% blindsided by the feedback on this league. They can't come up with something out of thin air in 2 days.

To be fair, players got blindsided first.

We're all aware of what he said. Fact is he's wrong.

This is worth watching

In short, while average drops might be the same per Chris, the way you currently maximize loot is to find one of these mobs, go find a MF culler, and let them kill it.

It doesnt take too long, but I think we could all agree this is absolute cancer.
