Is loot bugged?
" yeah wisps gonna solve everything - who even follows the wisp my man always goes opposite nothing drops regardless of mechanics or rarity or quantity simply nothing drops (I quit after 1200 maps and 11 divines) Last edited by Icécream#0537 on Apr 19, 2025, 11:14:25 PM

I don't know if loot is "bugged" but if you're not running layers and layers of rarity, quant, etc.. then loot is underwhelming.
Of course if you're blasting T15++ maps and you're used to PoE1 loot then you're likely still going to be wildly disappointed. Could loot be bugged -- for sure. Could GGG want PoE2 to, comparatively, be a ruthless-lite mode --- maybe. |

I swear my loot got better on all characters when my atlas passives got filled out. Sometimes think maybe there actually is a bug in the game, and that could also be why when Jonathon replays the game he claims he has no issues with item drops.

" Most of my waystones have been 200% rarity and im running 100% rarity on my gear. I remember last league the loot being far better than it currently is. Im cool with it ether or cause I fking love this game. Just want that hit from seeing at least 1 div drop or something other than orbs of transmute and alc lol |

The problem is that they decided that corrupted maps no longer give the +1 monster level.
While this might seem irrelevant at first glance, the vast majority of good loot drops get a spike in drop rate starting at level 81 Before dawn of the hunt, around 50% of the maps you run where lvl 81 (t15+irradiate+corruption) so you'd get a lot of better loot. The only way to do it now is if either you get the area level +1 mod (which is extremely rare right now) or if you run t16 (also damn rare considering less than half of corrupted t15 go up). All of this just bricked tremendously the loot tables and made the game worse (like everything else ln Dawn of the Nerfs) Tldr, ggg cant think more than 1 step ahead of themselves on their damn patches |

" Is not bugged. This is Simple: GGG reduced probability in RNG (and they did too much) |

"This is not going to solve the issue. There's loot, I'm regularly dropping divines and divine tier items to sell. The problem is how to get the loot. You have to find 3 towers, do 3 tablets on all of them and then run rarity/quantity maps in the area, and you need to have 120% baseline magic find on your character. Most people don't understand this and don't plan farming spots around the atlas. Whether the atlas mechanics are good or not is a different thing, but currently if you're not juicing the maps with proper tablets, your loot quality is going to suffer. |

" i agree but i think the problem goes far deeper. the entire loot system and how items are generated needs an overhaul. the vast majority of rares that do drop are absolute garbage with light radius, accuracy, +4 mana on kill, reduce attribs. not to mention i swear they have coded it so you have a much higher likelihood of seeing drops for everything except what you need. play a ranger get hundreds of rare shield, play a witch get hundreds of quarterstaves. the only real way to have a chance in hell of getting something useful is with a combination of rarity and increased drops. to paraphrase forcing ever more drops in hopes that one useful thing will appear amongst the mountain of garbage.

In SSF, just reached maps (server errors made for fewer hours than usual).
* Still only have 3-link gems - no sign of better Jewellers Orbs. I don't remember it being like this on 0.1, pretty sure I had multiple 4-links and maybe a 5 by now. * Not able to juice maps to Rare as I don't have enough mats * Still have gear with < 6 attributes as I don't have the mats - some of the gear is 20 levels below by character so I don't want to waste mats on it, but am not seeing better gear either * Prisms & Baubles are rare as hen's teeth - which is weird as they are only marginal gains * I remembered to collect base items for Chancing this time. But I've only managed to make 2 chance orbs from Uniques. Hopefully GGG got the results from the extra logging they said they would add in the Ziz interview, but they've been very quiet about loot, so ... |
