- cut 50% of useless scarabs and rework them


There are about 6 useless scarabs. Every league there's people saying '90% of scarabs are useless' then they get horrified that one of the scarabs they vendored 600 of goes up to 15-20c if it's uncommon or 5c if it's common.

It was HILARIOUS when this happened to the base Delirium scarab in Necropolis, which is common enough that it only shot up to 4½ chaos when someone showcased how good spending a scarab slot to save ~20 atlas points could be. Redditors kept saying 'this is a useless scarab', people that understood the game better used them or flipped them.

Yo, neat

With Jung getting an interview, maybe, just maybe, he's got a chance.




My GOAT!!! Yes....please!
remove mf :)
ok

Affliction, Necropolis and now Keepers are the worst leagues ever. Loot-shower fest, chase uniques too available, stacked decks and valdo boxes are a flawed design, and now the genesis tree handing out overpowered items hence invalidating several farms and crafting avenues.

bring back loot
- Reduce ALL non-currency loot by 1000% (first step to making ground loot relevant)
- Remove provisioning wombgifts altogether
- Nerf Kingsmarch, at least nerf the divine / mirror shards
- Add gold cost to posting items at Faustus to prevent early market flooding
- Do an extensive balance pass on skills / ascendancies (it's been years at this point)
- Rework some scarabs (and nerf strongbox farming)
- Revert Breach 2.0, or at least let us keep Breach 1.0 somehow
- State of T17...

I'm sorry to say but unless some of these core issues are fixed you simply cannot call yourselves games designers in good conscience ; rather game destroyers...
League after league the designs and decisions are terrible, and some are even completely antithetical to the core foundations of this game (provisioning wombgifts, Kingsmarch, implementing Faustus without friction nor any significant nerf to unique droprates, Affliction league, etc).

Old PoE leagues and patchnotes used to feel like Christmas (they truly brought so much joy, excitement, anticipation, fun ; and if you haven't noticed they haven't for approximatively 4 years now...

Linking to Ziz's old twitch name doesn't work on mobile btw, it opens up the "actual" pcchild twitch account instead of redirecting to Ziz's account.
Yay Octavian :) Will be great hearing from him again!
