The Zizarian Interview. GGG, that was impressive. You're wrong about drops.

As other player, i just disenchant items with one or two sockets on it and I got 12 artificers orbs at the end of campaign (2 drops and 10 crafted so), but I just used 2 of it on weapon to make it more powerful. Its pretty useless imo to use it while leveling to put a resistance on it, because you would switch items after few levels.

2 things from 1rst post :
- maybe its not clear enough in the game that you can disenchant some item from the bench to obtain artificers parts and others parts. I still dont understand why you have to disenchant items to get part of regal for example, with a merchant, BUT you have to go to the bench to salvage to obtain artificers parts and others... It makes no sense to have 2 different places to disenchant items !!!
- I really think and agree that we need some orbs as rewards after some specific quests. I think strongly about it, specifically with a greater jewellers orb after finishing T5 quest of Doryani for example, and maybe others before that (artificer's, a divine, a exalted). It could be a good way to introduce beginners to how use such orbs !!!! And it could be a good way to smooth out the difficulty of the game.

edit : I think having the 2 sockets items salvaging into 4 parts of artificers orb could be a good start.

GGG,

As a new player to the GGG world. That interview was incredibly impressive. I mean - I've never seen any company present themselves, live and on top that you addressed the questions as directly as I could ever expect.

BUT!

You're wrong about the item drop thing lol. SO WRONG. You spoke about sockets - THEY ARE NOT DROPPING. You must be playing on a special server lol...

Not only sockets - quality buffs are not dropping either. The sharpening stone, or armor fragments. I break down nearly all of the items I get that would give them. The drops just SUCK HARD. You are turbo super bad wrong here.

I've not received a SINGLE item that I can use from a main story boss drop.

"Gear upgrades"? hahaha - you're disconnected man. I was wearing level 12 gear until level 30.... Yeah, we're NOT switching gear often... what the heck man.

What is coming out of your mouth talking about gear and drops - couldn't be farther from reality. I'm not sure why you think that.



Totally agree with your points about loot. It's embarrassingly unacceptable how much loot we get throughout campaign. I feel so bad for new players of poe2 starting in this league, because they must feel so confused why they can't upgrade any gear even after 15-20 levels. This needs a fix and fast
Very hapopy with what Ive heared. Im more on the gid gud side of things with this patch regarding campaign. Enjoyed Amazon very much so far. Finally melee works as it should in an arpg. Parry needs a change, though. Ascendencys suited the lv. Loot was ok for me in the campaign. Hope the endgame is more fun this time and actual achievable. Im still worried about inflation. Went full crafting with all my currency this time. Due to all the server issues resetting areas, Im lv64 now and just pulled the canal lever. Died way less to stuff I could not adress. The swarming problem was solvable for me.
OP linked to his Livestream, here is the interview link:

Legit thinking of making a one off guy and store every magic rare and currency i come across in a couple wuad stashes because i know loot is way off at least until level 50+
They are so disillusioned to what the real player experiences in a whole play through.

No drops, no rewards, same like you here OP Cant even try to adjust build because not nearly enough skill gems drop on top of the worthless gear drops. Seems like there are actually intentional loot tables to drop items not useful. I made a post on Steam few months back well before this patch that even then loot sucked but this is exponentially worse than before!
