This is hard to balance.

I like ground loot. I'm not against tile loot either.

But I don't want this to be overdone into another Affliction league, where currency is worth so little that players filter out raw chaos orbs. A fracturing orb was like 40d in that league, this is ridiculous lol. Yeah go ahead pay 200d for that T1 fracture you want. Stupid league, like 0.4 in POE2 where temple snakes printed oversupply of divs.

The problem is that current league is the opposite of affliction. You don't really farm ground loot. It doesn't exist. If you discard rewards dropped through altar mods (which are tile loot) your 8-mod map with like 210% quant and 160% rarity barely drops anything. You get like 2 chaos, 4 fusings and 10 alts. Divine drops once per 30-50 maps. This is about as juicy as you can get "baseline".

You would think there are ground loot strats because risk scarab is 88c each. But no, that's just gambling degens farming the osin card.

literally no one said anything about juicing to affliction levels. your logic is kinda weird " either juice to affliction like juice or keep it as it, do you even play the game to know how bad is the end game juicing ? you can literally spend 3-4 divs at a map just to get 1 div back if you dont know look at abyss

Where's the loot though man? are you talking about alc and go in t4s? and are happy with your 2 alcs, 5 trans and 4 jewelers?

Statements like this from people like you are what's dividing the comunity brother... there's an UNQUESTIONALBE issue with the loot dropped by the mobs. That is the issue some of us are trying to get fixed.

Nobody is stating "the game doesn't drop loot, i am poverty"... the statement is "MOBS do not drop loot, so juicing is kind-of dead, except for tile-loot and breach (and breach was nerfed by HALF!!!!! still the only valid monster farm in the game).

The league mechanic is again just another example of that. monsters drop NO loot so 90% of border modifiers on voiyages or chart mods are literally useless. you still rely on tile loot (such as chests or TILE MODIFIERS like drop an aditional divine. YES, those guys getting that 80-90 divs from a voyage, they STILL get that from TILE LOOT, not from monster loot).

So before you make a statement to prove how "anti-system" or whatever the fuck kids these days think is cool, just fact check and make sure it is right. cuz in your case it's as wrong as they come.

Have a good one.

i wonder if they will even address the elephant in the room. these streamers never ask any tough questions because they want to get called back for future interviews.

I am saying that juicing to affliction lvel is good. It was one of the most fun leagues ever that I played to the end. Last leagues I get 40/40 and go play Palworld.

Ill just ignore it from now on, I don't want to see smiles on their faces while my favorite game become trash until it become fun again or until I quit it completely.

what a hypocrite hahahaha , you only have 1 char and its in SSF, everyone who says loot is fine is like this guy , never playing trade league and want us to have no loot. buff loot pls ggg. you dont need an interview to know the league is suffering . just listen to the community.

Ziz will puss-out. After the POE2 interview where he was a bit more strict with Jonatan he got black-listed for interviews for a while. That scared the crap out of him, he's not going to risk it again, because if he does he'll get radio silence, less ggg interviews = less views, less relevance and ALMOST no streamer would ever risk that.

+1

I kinda understand that such interviews should not be always very dark and full on rampage-critic interviews - but tbh you (as an influencer) wouldnt need to put critic in an interview, if GGG would communicate...

why dont talk about the elephant? even if they need slightly more time for a good solution of the loot-problem, they SHOULD talk about it...

GGG is making POE (the most fun game for me) to a garbage game... no mob-loot means nearly no dopamine... And POE2 is SUCH A GREAT example for permanently nice good loot...

Broski, you don't know how easy it is to overdo things here. This is a finely tuned machine where changing one of these fundamental principles even slightly can produce a runaway chain reaction with explosive values.

Notice how a tiny 1-2% change in interest rates can double your monthly mortgage installment. This happens because of combined percentage calculations over a 30-year period. Small change, big consequences.

Currently voyages are like 2-3 div per on average not couning that once in a lifetime div mod. Overdo the buffs and they'll become 12 div per and long behold they are now mandatory. This happened with POE2 temples. Too much wealth created, other content went obsolete.

Invite Fub, Empy.

I agree with Fubgun but FAR better choice than Empyrian would be Palsteron and Snap.
