SRSLY! Whats going on with poe end game!!

Hi Community,

Been playing POE for a long time (started in Aug) and are currently blasting trough maps on my Infernal Blow Marauder. I am however strongly considering putting this game where it currently belongs - in the (digital) paper bin.

Why?

I am an end game content player - love to progress!

But after probably 300 maps all I have achieved is a pool of 3 - 5 71 maps. Followed every guide there is; labyrinth Vaal - IQ above 50 for 68 maps etc.

Anyone else feel the same or would be so kind to enlighten me in terms of what I am forgetting here. Its a f-in waste of time spending a Saturday afternoon farming maps and all you can show for is some epics that even the vendor refuses to buy...not to even mention a proper sustainable pool of map drops...

My last map today (after doing 10 68s and only getting one 69 map) was a 80% Q with 50 % rares and Yaj! Its Christmas. Arcade 67 drops! Again!

GB GGG. Its fine that a nub playing this game 5h week are not supposed to evolve into "the hulk after 2 weeks - but for us that put seriously time into gaming - nah - this is just the opposite of a morale boost - its getting pretty damn annoying.

Want to love what you do here - but please - how can you even make a pool of 10 68s into 1 71. Are you aware of the time it takes to rebuild that 68 pool again? And if you layer that ridiculous calculation up the mathematical ladder? You need to be a Korean teen on speed to even get a nice epic.

And why would I farm a Aegis A? Why running around with my Soul Taker (btw. crafted by luck - no drop there!), when all I can use the potential unobtainable gear for, is one though map every 2 months? No point running around in full American Football gear in a kid summer camp - just makes you look retarded...

Input appreciated!

Best,

Mr. Frustrated, PzdOFF and Hopefull for "A" Change

are there people complaining about maps still? you know how much i had to bitch in cb and ob with nothing being done about the maps? and now that the game is 'finally out' and they realize that the map system was too much of a currency dump for their player base they finally decided to buff the fuck out of map rolling in favor of the players? take a seat son.

i thought its entirely possible to lv without maps? although seems pretty boring nad reptitive and maybe not as effective,give it a try

YOur obv doing something wrong. Ive been playing sine like april and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to sustain high level maps now. I have more 77 78 maps then I ever have... ROll the maps right and you will see returns,

Here's a surefire way to get great maps

Buy 71s for 1.5 chaos.

Alch them once, don't do anything else, just run them and use whatever maps that drops.

Once you're in the 80s do the same for 73-74s. Save the 75-77 maps you earn until you're 89.



from just doing a 75 and 76 map with just one alchemy orb used, also looted another shipyard/plateau that I used.

Don't bother doing 66-70 maps, they aren't even worth the 1/4th chaos orb they sell for.

Understand that Maps were nowhere close to were they are now in CB.

My (underlying) question are still raised in my thread: the amount of effort you currently put into maps (and yes - I have invested prob. 6 hours in the 1.0.2 just to experience what I did in 1.0.1) is not worth the output.

Whats their ratio? Play poe and do maps for 3 days and maybe touch on a 71 - if your lucky a 72? And then you clap your hands - do your 70 + and what happen?

Nothing.

So your back to those 68&69s (if their not gone by now to build that a tiny 70 pool) and you go at it again!

Nah - my opinion stands - its to damn tiring.

Its the carrot and the horse methodology, but its no carrot for the horse. Just the "picture of a carrot" - hanging their in the horizon - never to be eaten.

You will run - but eventually you collapse and say "f-this".
