Lets get the excitement back into poe.
So i very rarely express what i think on forums, so take this not as a complaint, and me wanting to change the game, but i feel like Poe somehow over the years lost its excitement, and i will explain why i feel this, i played this game almost every single league, and have been around since the very beginning.
So there have always been like the thrill of getting a good drop in this game, you get this dopamine kick, like the first time you id'ed a watchers eye, could this be it! the crazy good rolled one, going back some years this was at its peak, it was insanely fun, everyone got a piece of the cake, wasent any ubers, people could beat bosses on close to all builds. So the uber problem (in my opinion) i dont see a problem at all with having these insanely hard fights that only a few select builds can do, but lets face it you cannot do them reliable on 90% of all the skills in this game, so this does two things. 1. People feel forced to make a build, that not all enjoy to play, but they do it to do ubers. 2. its making the loot from the "normal" boss versions less and less, and hardly worth the time. I remember when the game peaked for me, there was videos all over youtube, people killed sirus, and that big awakened gem dropped, now you run 10-15 (normal) mavens to get one, but not only that, the good ones you can only get from the uber version. So i have given this a lot of thought, and its great for the game that ubers excist, and there is this crazy content for the meta builds. So what i think could make this part interesting again, would be have the same loot on both versions of the bosses, but way higher chance doing an uber, how cool could it not be if you think about it, some new dude kills maven for the first time and he is lucky and drops awakened empower, or even multistrike. normal versions could be like 10% or even 20% chance of being "uber" loot, while doing ubers, it would be a crazy good item 50% of the time. Would so much still be worth for the people that want to do the hardest content in the game, but for the people that go off meta, they are stuck at farming the current best currency method, doing 100's of maps save up stuff to sell to get the item they need from the meta players, or so force themselves into doing a build that they dont even enjoy. There is no thrill, its just yep 10 scarabs more, 99 maps to go and i will go bulk sell it. I would like to hear everyone that read my wall of text's opinion on this, am i just a boomer that should do more meta builds? :D instead of making my own semi decent builds that are build around defences that ubers ignore (block, suppress) And i do have to point out, i LOVE this game, and will likely keep playing it as long as its here, but its becomming less. Well it was just my thoughts on current poe, and how i feel the game could improve. Last bumped on Apr 13, 2024, 9:41:23 PM
