Where's all the loot in this loot finding game?

Well, I am about to finish Act 3 Cruel with my shiny Normal crossbow. Without treading you aren't getting much


If your using a "Normal" crossbow, you fooked up. Use your orbs for crafting lol. Spend a bit of gold at the item gambler on CBows. I got my +2 elle gem staff that's carried me to act 4 that way.


Now, now, it is not a bad crossbow



It's just that every single one of the dozens drops/gamba is worse by a mile, doesn't matter that they are 10-20 levels above

Meanwhile this was a random drop



Fuck me, right

This is still NOT a looter game!!!

Do you know how absolutely fucking boring it is killing a million monster when you know you'll get NOTHING from them???

The whole point of looter games is that you kill things hoping for the excitement of a super cool drop that will change your game...

Here you just kill things because you need to "prove you're giga chad that can beat this Path of Elden Ring game"... sure, I can beat it... but the game is fucking BORING!!!

Dear GGG,

This is a LOOT finding game. You kill cool monsters and find cool stuff to help you


Act 4 onwards. End game maps is where the real loot begins.

Remember when Chris and Jonathan made a big deal about wanting to attract and keep new players?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Quoting Saltychipmunk:
...I look at the new act 5 boss where you have to hide behind the statues to survive the bullet hell and all I can think is... how the fuck are zombies going to survive that?

They don't know what hiding is... they don't know what dodging is... they are morons.

Huh??
Are you in end game maps?
You get through the campaign and then you get to play the looter side of things. The campaign isn't supposed to be showering you in items and currency.

I'm right now and i run Tier 1-5 Maps most of the time i get 1-2 wisdoms, 1-3 Augment and 0 Chaos, 0 Exalts and this is really annoying after 20 maps i got 1 chaos right now.

I like that ther is less loot then poe 1 cause in poe 1 it was just way to much trash that dropt but right now you just get not enought to currency to craft.

I prefer the scarcity of loot as it is making me use all the mechanics. The beta is meant for testing purposes and I do believe loot is scarce because they want us to interact with all the new mechanics. That being said, I do not think loot will ever be on POE1 levels, and that is fine with me.

What mechanics???
It's all just exalt slamming and praying your chaos orb hits.

There are like two possible crafting recipes in the entire game.


It's ground loot with extra steps, but ground loot and no crafting at all would be more fun because at least more stuff would drop...

Yeah im not really having fun anymore. I havent gotten a viable gear upgrade since early act 3 and I'm in late act 5 struggling hard.

Just give us a crafting bench ffs. This isn't enjoyable and I cannot test your mechanics if it takes me hours to get through 1 act.

Very bad choices coming from GGG on this one. Low new player retention, frustrating veteran players. Not a great test of the game.
i feel like the loot drops are fine but the currency to actually do something with those drops are massively lacking.
drops that have quality or sockets are also far too rare.

this is also a hot take: character inventory should be twice the size it is.
when i NEED gold or disenchants im gonna grab everything relevant and port in/out of the map regardless.
inventory size is nothing but a hit to QOL. my experience would instantly improve if it was larger.

New player here. I've been attracted.
Whether I'm being kept depends on how many "you haven't paid 53454 brillion million trillion dollars for this game, therefore you're worthless trash" I'm going to encounter.
HCSSF is the only way.
