More affix == need to trade more (because crafting would be even harder than finding the 3 specific mods needed for your build on xyz).
But more affix + some recipes to craft them could be ok, but ffs make those recipes public then...

And desync fucking sucks. Making totem or burning misscreation builds so that we still kill enemies even if we don't know where they are isn't "L2P with it" to a satisfactory level imo...

I actually almost feel as if it's part of a conspiracy to entice me to play D3 again, and I will never, ever, fucking do that. Just the idea that it occurs to me really says something very very bad about how I actually feel about PoE right now. Anyway, my point is this game has much bigger issues than your PC which you could easily address yourself.

Got a 5000 dollar pc, my issue isn't with the effects themselves but others not letting me play with them on those builds.


I hear ya about the conspiracy to play D3 again I actually downloaded my game client just to fart around on it... So sad. Even if RoS is the bee's knees I don't think I'll ever be able to get past the fact that its still D3.

More affixes please. Need proper drawback affixes on rares, like -light radius. So that when you find a GG rare with -light, you can then eternal/exalt +light radius, to make it better.

oh my god

I understand all your concerns with more affixes making it harder to roll 'good' ones, take staves as an example of that, but you have to admit if there were more interesting affixes then the number of 'good' affixes would increase as well.

With the totally random crafting it would make things worse. But if crafting were proper (ie. more deterministic), then I'd agree..

I'd say it's less that more affixes need to be added and more that the entire system needs to be overhauled.

It's a pretty shitty system that it's even possible for an item with 6 high level rolls to be considerably worse in all situations than an item with 3 mid-level rolls.

I mean it's possible to get high level items with -32% attribute requirements, +6 mana on kill, +11 health on kill as the suffixes. Why is that even possible? What's the use? Why waste a database record on that? Why waste bandwidth even notifying the player of that?

Just redo the entire affix system. If there's time to rebalance the rest of the game around having more dynamic gear ( meaning content not requiring capped resists on top of a massive buffer ) then make interesting affixes ( +X% attack speed for Y seconds after kill, +X% cold resistance for Y seconds after being frozen ) otherwise just straight-up remove all affixes that don't help in gear checks.
