So there is actually also the danger of people thinking their lucky or unlucky outlier experience applies to everyone.	Posted by kumogakure#7381 on Dec 11, 2024, 1:50:07 PM Quote this Post
It's so funny to see this VERY organic campaign from Llama and other dipshit streamers for GGG to lower drop rate. Piss off idiots.	Posted by idkwat#6167 on Dec 11, 2024, 1:52:04 PM Quote this Post
" Exuja#2705 wrote: They definitely overdid it, I remember D2 for example.. that was some real dopamine whenever a unique dropped, even if most of them were trash, later runes etc. that was the sweet spot, perhaps a little higher for seasons, but yeah.. Please, for the love of anything, go replay D2 to end game or even just make it to hell mode or find a stream. You'll find more set items and legendaries from rapidly farmable bosses than you ever found in PoE. The caveat being as an average player, not group MF setups. I don't think anyone nostalgic for D2 ever made it past normal when I see this BS. Endgame D2 is teleport spam with a one button build through areas that take under a minute before reset.

Blue items are important. Yellow should stay RARE Yellow means joy when it drops BUT only when it's rare Don't make the game a no brain loot fiesta please. Let us take the time to optimise blue item before too much yellow drops	Posted by 1CC#0703 on Dec 11, 2024, 1:58:06 PM Quote this Post

Let us take the time to optimise blue item before too much yellow drops Get a loot filter and hide rare items, there you go fixed it for you.

Also just because a D2 speedrunner wants this game to be D2, doesn't mean it should be nor would it be very profitable for the game lmao	Posted by Toforto#2372 on Dec 11, 2024, 2:02:49 PM Quote this Post
" AintCare#6513 wrote: ooor you are just very unlucky. i doubt everyone itt has their Luck turned up to 10 Which is exactly my point in my reply: who is it to say that the guy who got 2 Uniques in the first half hour of the game isn't literally lotto-winning lucky? And who is it to say that the guy who got 1 unique after clearing two Acts in the campaign just astronomically unlucky? I'm sure GGG has the numbers and know exactly what people are getting, and they have decided that it is indeed not rewarding enough, so we have the newly updated drop rates. With that in consideration, the op may very well just be reacting to a very lucky streak. Personally, my gripe before the update was mostly with the lack of Regals. Not even Exalts, but Regals. I thought it was natural that we should have less Exalts than Regals, seeing how Exalts are the step after Regals. The buff to rare drop frequency would definitely help alleviate that.

" kumogakure#7381 wrote: I wonder what the op means with "played for 4 hours". Four hours of what? Four hours of repeatedly farming bosses? Then I'd say 4 uniques and 20 rares feels about right. Four hours of campaigning? Then I'd say 4 uniques might be too much, but fine if it was just a lucky event. I feel context is important. We may be all talking about different things when one says too much and another says too little. No farming just playing through the campaign im currently at the time of this reply about to Fight Viper Natuali on cruel. I have a total of 9 uniques and quite a nice amount of currency, all my gear is socketed.

Are you disenchanting all the rare's and blues you dont need? Ive been doing that all campaign and have no issue with regals or other currency.

" Boomshannka#0860 wrote: I was very happy with the decision by GGG to make drop rates less common it really nailed the excitement of finding loot again in a video game I played today for 4 hours and was suprised i got four uniques in that time and way over 20 rare's i was very dissapointed to be honest the magic that you had caught was gone in a flash, i wish sometimes you wouldnt listen to the playbase on certain topics. Please reconsider your decision. There's been no changes. Not ONE patch has dropped yet. You people are funny.	Posted by Nagisawa#4090 on Dec 11, 2024, 5:40:12 PM Quote this Post
