SOME HOPE FINALLY!!! LOOT DROPS WILL BE FIXED!!!

While reward is an issue with wisp, its not the only issue. The mechanic itself is frustrating since you have absolutely no control at all with how this mechanic going to play itself. It spawns wherever it wants, and it moves wherever it wants. Even if there is a nearby rare monster, like just 10 meters ahead, the wisp can suddenly do a U-Turn and start heading to Sudan.

Or like this, since map layout is never a linear path, you can choose whichever direction you want to go first when you first enter the map. You can plan it like a square path, circle path, a zig-zag, whatever pattern you find comfortable. Let say there are 12 rare monster divided in 3 general direction North-East-West. You choose to go North first, no wisp found. Then you start heading to West, still no wisp found. Then when you start to cleaning up the path to East side, there are multiple wisp spawns in the path you take and yet its only 1 Rare monster left, accompanied with 6 mobs as its pack.

Or like this, you are in the Crypt, its arguably a square path. You start the map by heading east. You cleaning up the monster and maybe 1 or 2 rare monsters in East section, no wisp spawn yet. Then when you start walking up to north, there is a wisp, and surprise surprise this wisp is allergic to the rare monsters that only 10 meters ahead. It does a U-Turn and forcing you to back-track.

1000% x 0 = 0

I hope they are fixing a bug in loot and not buffing it, because I'm seeing rares and uniques drop like crazy

I had one run yesterday where i got 4 uniques and about 20 raresin act 1. (Its on video if anyone doubts)

He did not say that they are looking into general loot drops.

That wisps don't seem to increase the drops as intended is something he is looking into, BUT I don't even need to run simulations to tell you what is wrong with it - 300% of 0 is 0.

"there is something going wrong in the item drop system"

Those are his words, word for word. What do you think Jonathan means when he says "item drop system"?

I'll come back if they fix loot. For now, I am staying off as many other players cause no dopamine hit and the rewards are simply not there. There are tons of other games to play and LE is being released this week. Its not like POE2 is the only game left.

I mean, he is talking the entire time about the wisps and that there is an issue with the item drop system; could be the entire item system; could be only the item system related to wisps; not really clarified.
Sure, we can imply that he has now discovered that the entire system is wrong, but that is so far only an implication because we could interpret it this way.
Keep the interview with Zizaran in mind, where he talked about drops.

I don't get my hopes up that they change the loot system.

So they want the combat to be slow and methodical so how many month should I play slow and methodical until I found a corrupted vortex 15 times?

Fair point. I see now. Man... This feels bad. Once they fix the system, and Azmerian wisps go away next league, it's going to feel the same as it is currently, and I don't think I can do that again. lol
