I wish PoE was like Titan Quest

in that you could see monsters wearing Legendary or Unique items.

I love the fact that in TQ (and in TQ's spiritual successor Grim Dawn) when you come across a monster using a big shiny sword you knew it was going to drop something special.


I think it would add an extra dimension to PoE if the same thing was possible. I'd love to see a skelly wearing a Kaom's Heart or Tabula Rasa or Alpha's Howl or using a Death's Harp Bow.

Well imagine a snake wearing those....

Not gonna work in here,though i liked the same fact in TQ

The mechanic is different for POE. In Titan Quest, the loot is already generated upon the monster creation. While in POE, the loot drops are only generated by the time the monster dies and it's affected by the IIQ/IIR of the final blow.

more than that: the monster would attack you with the big shiny sword, and hit hard.
I love the concept not only from a cool and realistic prospective, but also because it corresponds with a notion of "risk and reward" - which PoE replaced with dumb randomness, just like those D2 "lol moments" when a swarm of flies dropped a piece of heavy armor.

I wish GGG do this, but I'll understand if they don't. it looks like a headache to implement, and it's too late anyway.

I think that actually started from dungeon siege.
The monsters using unique items that you new they would drop.
It also made the monsters a lot harder.

Harder monsters?

Bring 'em on! I mean, it does not have to drop uniques, but something special / following a pattern? It's harder on the one side, but gives you sweet loot "in advance", since it's visible. IIR and IIQ may still affect this, but it's something more generic imho.

+1

A really great idea, I like it so much.

@Devs: Please implement that feature!

And one more very important point about this is:

Look at the rate GGG is churning out 3D arts for unique items. I estimate it's going to take.... 5 years? to just reach the state where unique items all have their own 3D arts.

the server giving the client the information which monster will drop a certain item will bring more incentives to use/create client programs analyzing the stream which will show you worthwhile kills while rushing levels.

titan quest's online game was hacked alot which was the main reason i quit playing it.
