Crucible is Fundamentally Flawed - Especially at endgame

Ice Shot Snipe ignite elementalist! Sounds terrible but there are a bunch of really cool...probably bad things to play with this league.

Since GGG decided to let synth items roll trees the real endgame is unfortunately to just wait for TFT to make triple synth items. There's no reason for you to ever put more than 10 div into crafting an item when you can just pay TFT for a weapon that does ten times more damage with a perfect tree and implicits. The real slot machine experience will be trying to get a niche unique with cool mods.

I would expect mirrors to spike really hard, really fast this league. No more sitting at 200 div for a few weeks. They should skyrocket over 500 div the moment a triple synth, quintuple perfect mod tree finished item hits mirror service. If the league is as popular as Sanctum I wouldn't be surprised if mirrors hit 1k div by the time D4 rolls around.

Einhar memories to the moon, imprint beasts to the moon.

From a game programming standpoint it would make more sense for the alter to be the one that checks the item level, base type , unique or not. and then assign it a skill tree.

Otherwise you are adding pointless data to trillions of items that drop on the ground

Take care.

Items don't drop with a skill tree. There aren't trillions of items that drop on the ground with pointless stats. That's not how it works.

Items drop like they always have. You pick a small subset of the items you find, equip them, and then you can *add* a skill tree to them at the altar. They don't have a tree until you add one (or as GGG puts it, "imbue" them with one).

The way mod-ing items works in Poe, is huge pre-compiled lists exist for items based on parameters set into a generator. Nothing in Poe's mod-ing system is ad hoc/on-the-fly.

When you ID an item, GGG's item servers have your mods ready to go

I am severely missing the point of this discussion. Outside of edge cases like mirrored item dropping, why does it matter if tree is preset when it drops or when you "id" it at the altar. Unless you are cheating an is able to get item mods without "id".

I've skipped through a bunch of pages here, but...

Would be nice if we could atleast access our stash so that we don't have to constantly carry different weapons around, be it equipped or in the inventory. Would be pretty tedious for people who want to farm the Crucible mechanic having to constantly swap weapons after every map or whatever.

Good to see same people complaining for all those years, yet you are still here. Its like you are more into arguing and complaining than gaming.

I really dont get it why its such a big deal. You act like you would have to carry 20 weapons with you all the time when you will only need 1. There will be only 1 crucible on the map afterall. Of ourse there will be some quary farmers as always but thats such miniscule percentage of players its not worth mentioning.
