I don't know if crafting's going to be able to stand on its own without abysses in every map and homogenising omens, unless incursion is introducing new crafting tech for rare items. I feel like retention is going to take a hit with gear being more expensive this league, even before the dip from the lack of endgame patch comes into play.

We will be able to target farm abbys with tablets (hopefully they will not feel like ritual tablets which were nowhere to be seen)

With the new Abbyss passive tree we might even have more crafting stuff (copium)

Lets go ggg! Good changes 👍 slow down game and crafting 4days left ❤️❤️

I guess I am dad gamer now but getting the best gear in the hideout is something game should avoid by a long shot

I wish the best items were found not crafted.

Maybe they could remove the bottom tier mods from being able to be applied on T15+ maps or something so that the drops actually have chance to be good (they are not currently)

> Omen of Homogenising Exaltation and the Omen of Homogenising Coronation have been disabled from dropping. Existing items are still functional.

I'm afraid that as a casual gamer who tries not to interact with trading, I'm going to hit the wall in the endgame and I'm not going to have any hope to overcome it...
ATM I could slowly farm to improve one or 2 items and than move on, but after this change I'm not sure if I would have any hope for improvement. Hope for a random drop is not engaging unless you have a ton of time to grind

Why do we even call it crafting and not gambling? The best change in the 0.3 patch was the crafting system and now it’s been rolled back. For anyone who can’t play eight hours a day, crafting was the only realistic shot at getting decent gear. And even then it wasn’t exactly easy or cheap; you still had to invest a ton of time to gather the resources.

I get that some players felt they reached endgame gear “too quickly” and then had “nothing to do,” but first of all, no one is forcing them to craft. If it bothers them, they can just play the game without crafting and earn their gear that way. And second, if the problem is lack of content, the solution shouldn’t be artificially slowing down progression — it should be adding more actual endgame content.

(For the record, the amount of content was perfectly fine for me. Honestly, I’d bet 90% of players quit after the first month anyway and come back for the next league.)

Thanks ggg for making another T0 useless after featuring it in a Build of the week, at least i wont need to level as a caster.

They are really searching to nerfing exiting T0 like The Last Lament or Rathpit....
I cannot understand nerfing those two. Exiting T0 uniques should feel powerful. Not downside gameplay fiesta.

Am i surrpised that the massive and gamebreaking shader cache issue was not mentioned? Of course not, because GGG devs are as incompetent as they are adept at ignoring their playerbase.

PoE2 is turning into a monstrosity where you are trying to fix design problems with literal patches instead of making a fundamentally strong basement for a future game. Hope you will strip away all bs one day.

Hm... im a bit underwhelmed but that may be a Result of the sad Spell Totem Aproch. ........... 3 Charges REALY WTF
