Uber pinnacle bosses are a mistake.

When Uber Ubers where announced I was thinking: "Nice, some E-penis measurement content for the 1%, Streamers and Progamers while the "normal" players would not have to bother with it.

Oh how wrong I was. It was a big mistake by GGG to add better loot to Uber ubers because now you feel like missing out by running the normal versions.
And now we stand here, with Eater not dropping any Ashes in 100+ kills and other visionary epic stuff.

Sounds like drop tables need adjusting, Having hard content that not everyone can complete is a good thing imo.

I've never killed sirus or aul normals and not for lack of trying, sirus i know i can beat but i need to get to him again on a decent build, aul /shrug we'll see someday.

Yea, it's just a new parse now for performance. Rewards or not.
It's even in PoB. Just a big mistake.

It also just magnified problems with the game. Melee Vs Range. Certain skills, etc.

I managed to get above 6 (maybe a bit more) millions DPS and good EHP (80% phys reduce, 80% evasion, 100% spell suppression... etc 230+ k ehp in pob)
Still, some content is abnormally gated, or only accessible if you do one of the few sad meta builds. Or if you are completely over trained in Shaper fights.

Worst part about all this is that doing normal versions of Sirus, Uber Elder, Shaper, Maven... Seems useless since the real loot is coming with Uber 85 version. This is a major breakdown.

Very depressing to sell pieces to meta builds or people playing in duo, while before i was able to do everything myself.

I am not surprised that more players are quitting the game after this. Not including the amount of one shot lottery making it really hard to level up in normal conditions (map).

Like some others player wrote here: Uber 85 was a very bad idea.

Uber pinnacle Bosses are so oldschool. The new hardest content is essence farming.

We hadn't played in a year. Used to Farm maven/Sirus with Awaken 8 on our non meta builds.

Try this league vs a level 85 boss and its 1 shots.. while afk tanking the normal version....

With loot being Garbage for the normal version, we decided game is not targeted at us so we dropped mid league.


Amazed how they went from Awakening 1-8.. to Face Roll vs 1 Shot fest.


Bosses should have a scale 1-8 again and drop loot accordingly.

Do you know that meme about a guy making up himself as a clown as he fool himself with lies? So that as I felt during this last month (standard player here):

- Maybe divine/ex changes is not that bad...

- Maybe I am have been to pick on lack of raw drops and it is not that bad...

- Maybe i need improve my build and do pinnacle bosses...

And yet, after several tedious runs in uber shaper, uber² elder and uber maven with worst drops than normal version I realize that I was too stupid to be playing PoE at this moment.

But after all, thansk GGG. it is nice to use my free time for other things now.
