Announcements - 1.0.0f Patch and Data about League Distributions and Map-only Uniques - Forum

So, That reply from Chris makes things clear then. GGG wants you to have to spend currency/time in order to grind for the maps that have the chance of producing some of the highest level uniques as a means of incentivizing the amount of time/currency the player expends in order to produce the maps. kind of a snake eating its tail sort of thing. "the premier Action RPG for hardcore gamers." -GGG Happy hunting/fishing	Posted by Wittgenstein on Nov 6, 2013, 1:59:55 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I have to agree, this map system is the worst. Everything is fine and balanced till you get to maps, then game just becomes a MMO with raiding and Auction House.

Seems to be the case. Can't say I'm not disappointed but it's not my game to design. Will struggle to find motivation to play from now on though :(	Posted by SNORLAXIO on Nov 6, 2013, 2:01:54 AM Quote this Post
" Aux wrote: Readability I don't know how many times the subject of showing ilvl on the item tooltip has come up throughout closed/open betas. Each time it was met with GGG resistance that it was too confusing. The difference between required level to equip and item level was too confusing for players to understand, thus is hidden behind a /itemlevel command. I've never understood this. Just how stupid does GGG think gamers are these days?	Posted by Magnicon on Nov 6, 2013, 2:02:11 AM Quote this Post
Calm down people. Kaom's Heart: 78 - Isn't required for a build Shavronne's Wrappings: 78 - enables a powerful build, but was nerfed. should be more common Voltaxic Rift: 78 - not required for a build Void Battery: 77 - not required for a build Thunderfist: 76 - not required for a build Mon'tregul's Grasp: 75 - not sure about this one Rathpith Globe: 74 - not required for a build Devoto's Devotion: 74 - someone cares for this one? Lioneye's Remorse: 73 - Not required for a build Ming's Heart: 73 - not required for a build Auxium: 72 - just get a dream frag Andvarius: 71 - shouldn't even exist Lioneye's Glare: 71 - honestly, with bows being buffed I don't think LG is that great any more Divinarius: 71 - not required for a build Really, the only one that enables a build is Shav's. Just use rares, this was obviously what GGG wanted, and I'm fine with that.	Posted by Idioticus on Nov 6, 2013, 2:02:17 AM Quote this Post

I have absolutely NO idea why Mon'tregul's is behind an ilvl75 barrier. It's not exactly the most in-demand unique in the universe. Instead of costing 2-3 exalts, it's now going to be orders of magnitude more expensive. Sad days :( Last edited by SNORLAXIO on Nov 6, 2013, 2:04:58 AM	Posted by SNORLAXIO on Nov 6, 2013, 2:03:50 AM Quote this Post

I hate the item distribution system in this game. The heavily manipulated drop table is almost a sarcasm compared to d2's treasure class system. For example, players can find a valuable wizard set amulet by farming Morphisto in nightmare level(even with a low chance - as I remember 1 in 26 unidentified set amulets). Yet POE have shattered my pleasure of such --- finding an Andvarius in normal merveil run. Two-handed - Mop Dual Wield - Slippers One-handed & Shield (close combat) - Brush & Basin One-handed & Shield (ranged) - Hair Dryer & Mirror Main-hand & Off-hand (evil witch) - Sponge & Soap	Posted by Heartsease on Nov 6, 2013, 2:04:55 AM Quote this Post
