Perfect jewelers orbs way to rare/ xp loss on death

Why are these so rare? I have 2 toons Running t15 and t16 maps and I get crap tons of lesser jewelers orbs, but I am yet to get a greater or perfect in an actual drop. The ones I do have I’ve had to trade for and I hate spending my currency on something that should be dropping, plus my opinion is I hate trading. This game is a looter, shouldn’t be forced into having to trade for it in a looter. To me trading is just like pay to win. You didn’t earn it in a drop. Only difference is one grinds the game to trade for perfect gear, the other grinds a real job for real currency to buy it. Either way you didn’t earn it.

Xp loss on death is way too high. Especially when baddies one shot you from off screen, or a circle on the ground appears after you already died from an explosion and didn’t even know you were in it before your dead. I could see losing the xp you gained in the map you are in but losing about 4-5 maps worth of xp is just too big of penalty. I’m getting penalized for maps I’ve already completed.

Love the newest patch, but above are my 2 biggest gripes.


Thanks. Keep up the good work. Having a great time playing Poe 2. Wife is a little upset, but eh she’ll get over it. 😁. I always tell her at least I’m at home, I could be at a bar. 😁

yea xp loss sucks , its imposible to level up lvl 70+ (im 83)

XP Loss + terrible server performance is a really bad combination.

And yes, perfect jewelers are way too rare. I'm level 91 and haven't found any. And also no lvl 20 gem.
