Unlucky i guess.. AND wtf is up with the busted mechanics

After over 100h in this league and 100+ maps, heists, labs, Delve and so, and not seeing 1 divine, ive been doin league mechanics, done all i could to get just 1 to improve my gear so i could atleast get to level 90+ but no.
Unlucky i guess..

And to the current state of the league:

Frustrating to see ppl farming 100's upon 100's of divine by cheesing some overpowered mechanic, ive seen ppl get 4 mirrors and 8 Headhunters , magebloods and so on, League is broken and FUBAR.
I cant believe that GGG is letting this go on, getting 8 HH's is imo not intended, and 4 mirrors is just dumb.
League is ruined as the economy is pumped up because of the Excess of currency being farmed by some players.
I dont think im a bad player by any means, i got about 7k hours and ive NEVER been this unlucky in a league, and NEVER seen this bad a League.
To those who are having fun and think things are balanced, good for you, but this is MY 5cents on the league and im disapointed to say the least.
Dont think ill be playing PoE till PoE 2 comes out as this is just dumb.
Do better GGG..

Variance can be extremely unforgiving. Sometimes you get 1-2 divs from the campaign, early Heist, some low tier map, sometimes you get nothing.
In my case this league i finished 8/8 Bosses and the complete atlas, including every unique map and had zero divine drops until later in the league.
You need to farm some league mechanic and sell stuff, in general, not talking about the current one.

Don't get TS logic at all.
You don't like that some very small amount of peeps(really smal - that not like 10000x players) getting Mirrors/MageBloods/HeadHunters from maps?
Or what?

It's not that simple - as it could seen - you need to do this 24/7,in 5-6 man party, full expensive scarabs/sextans juice and so on.

Do you even try to do this once yourself?

If you also thought - that Divines will just drop from the ground to you on a non-MF character - well its not how's it working.

If you want some statistic from me(I have Pilfering Ring - that counts currency from the ground from 2nd week of the league) - im only at 10x Exalts, 10x Divines from the ground in this league(12 days - playtime, 1.200.000 mobs killed).

I'm also did like 300x Ulabs - and not get any good value from there(Not a single Exceptional Gem Swap divine font once) - sometimes RNG is not on your side in this game.


But my summary stash/Gear is like for 300+ Divines combined.
You making Divines from any other activies in the game - Syndycate members crafts(Aisling,Vorici, Jorgin - always popular), Alva Temples with Locust of Corruption lvl 3 - goes for 4 Divines at least, farming Essences with good build is super profitable, farming Sanctum with good character, farming Delve boses for Precursor rings and so on.

Don't expect that bunch of Divines will just drop from the ground to you.

Also - 100 hours played - is small amount of time invested , for current state of league.
Usual players getting this amount played in first 2 weeks of the league.
League "rushers" get this amount in first week of the league.

100 hours - for a not semi-profi/very experienced player - is nothing.

These are mainly NOT from the league mechanic, but mostly from farming Harbingers.

Not dropping a single Divine from the content you are describing, isn't just unlucky, it's VERY unlucky. The league mechanic is VERY rewarding, even if you're not MF, and not super-juicing your maps. And when you're not super-juicing your maps, you should prioritize the blue wisps. 4k+ of them and you should see a few Divines within 10-20 maps.

The largest issue I have with a certain part of the player population getting mega rich is that this is also the population that tends to corner parts of the market and eventually set the prices of the economy.

And while for the most part you can argue the tide raises all boats. This only true for items that are accessible.

Yeah mageblood wont go to stupid price ranges because its dropping more right along with those divine orbs

But if not enough people are crafting a critical item for your build compared to that glut of magebloods and divines then expect that critical item to cost more than that mage blood which absolutely functions as a gate keeping mechanism


for example

this item is not that amazing. most of its mods are low rolls, it is corrupted for some stupid reason.

any other league this would probably be a 15 div item. You cannot get one like this for less than a 150 divine right now. and as of right now there is basically only 1 in that price range. The next is 1.1 mirrors

that is a problem.

I have been farming all kinds of content, ive got 3 characters through chapters, +80 levels on 2 and then gave up.
I dont expect to get divines handed to me, but 100+ hours doin most content is could do with the gear i have and not seeing more than maybe 20-30 chaos is not exactly normal and you know that. the odds of having done 100+ maps and most other content and not seeing just 1 divine drop is astronomycaly low.
And NO they are not farming in groups, they are cheesing the tier 7 cemetary map and getting 30+ divines on 1 map so no, and its more normal than you think if you think its 1 in 10000's, just the 1 channel i am in there were atleast 5-6 doing it if not more and that is not a 10k+ ppl channel.
I dont know where you get your numbers but they are not correct.
It takes currency to farm currency comfortably, and if your not getting currency so you can craft thats a mute point aswell. yes i could prolly farm labs, but i cant even get the ulabs unlocked as it has not been in ANY of my maps, i know all the things i can make currency off, but your referring to GOOD builds, u cant make a good build without having some type of good gear.
I think im at more than 1mill mobs if i combine the Characters ive made in this league and the amount of content ive made.
So i do think im sh*t out of luck this league and i do still think its not right that 1 person can farm themselves to 8 HH, an item that normally is rare and hard to get, not to talk about dropping 4 mirrors.

Am i jealous of those drops?, hell yeah i am
Do i think its normal? F*ck no

when a mechanic breaks the normal loot consistency like this its FUBAR.
If you dont get my logic fine, but your talking about having 300+ divine gear plus Currency, and you think you are unlucky ????
I dont get YOUR logic
But good luck on your "unlucky" league xD

Can literally make more than 1 div from a map by speccing into breach and rolling breach sextants, which cost nothing this league.


But you say you're quitting/giving up/not coming back til poe2 so I guess it doesn't matter.

Have you considered just doing the league mechanic? I think the league mechanic was fantastic before the nerfs. For once in SSF I have access to t0 uniques and meta crafting, something that was never possible before. Without, my build would be garbage because they nerfed minions so bad.

@Chickenwink

I "think" im gonna leave this league, yes.. Its been demoralizing to do all this and not getting a damn thing out of it, that is not fun.
And i doubt you would find that fun aswell, i dont like crafting so i rely on getting natural drops to buy the gear i need, its not ideal i know.
And i dont find it fun at all to just focus on doing 1 thing only to make currency, thats not at all what the game is about.
Its about having fun, and get loot.
It is a loot based game and not getting loot takes the fun out of it.

ive played this game for many years and had a ton of fun, and enjoyed seeing others get lucky with HH and lately Mageblood's aswell, but when its trivialized by individuals who are imo abusing a league mechanic to ruin a trade league i will speak my opinion regardless if ppl think im wrong.

im mixing 2 issues together i know, but i think in some way its linked as i cant even buy a decent scepter for my RF without it costing a ton of divines.
Try to go the same way and make a "baby" MF, good luck! prices are pumped to a crazy price point by the first persons abusing the mechanic, so thats not an option either.

Everything put together just tipped the iceberg, im not having fun at all this league and league mechanics that are getting abused are not making it better as it has squewered the trade completely.

So yes it does matter, to me atleast..

Damn, dude.
It has been answered already to you.
Not MFers in this league - your problem.
Yes prices - are crazy for many good items - indeed.

But there's also a lot of ppl who's just doing regular content - any game activities and having a blast.

Check mathil's streams- dude starting new character every 5-7 days, and he's at 300+ Div's by doing regular non-Mf content.

Quin69 doing SSF thing - and he's at 60x Divs in stash few days ago.

Alkaizer doing regular stuff in trade league and he's at 1000x divines.
