So frustrating that the same mistake is repeated in every D2 clone

Finished my first playthrough.

Didn't get a unique.

Diablo 2 learned this lesson a decade ago, that the game just isn't as fun or good as it could be if you don't get good items. Torchlight 2 and LoD have the balance perfect, you'll get a unique at least once every act, probably more if you know where to look and you'll be getting awesome items fairly frequently.

Fairly good game overall but it seems like they'll put uniques behind a paywall like D3 if they're this rare.

I get a couple uniques per day, all I needed was a little bit of IIR and even less IIQ.

If you talk about shavroness yes I saw drop everything expect that. 5x kaom heart/none mine
3x soul taker/none mine etc
allocation don't like me


I do not play public anymore from fear that mirror drop and I again get nothing.
And solo items do not drop at all if you are not mf char that nerf his dmg by 90% to get rewarded

so less power=more reward
I find it weird but well .

you think that is bad wait till you grind 300+ hours in maps and alls you get is low level uniques, real exciting stuff.

Most uniques actually aren't that rare and you basing your play experience on uniques dropping is pretty sad.

Well it's weird because the rate at which any unique drops is decent. But most unique items in poe are either bad or just good for a few low levels. The few good uniques have a really really low drop rate.

with 0 mf id say u get a unique to drop every 4 hours of non stop play


GGG doesnt want casual players to go through one playthroug without getting a unique

thats why there is so many non-powerfull and "shitty" uniques inthe game

Yeah that is a broken ass mechanic though, it leads you down the path of having 2 sets of gear if you want anything decent which greatly ups the chorefactor.

Also what's with shared loot! Even Diablo 3 with all its failings realised having 6 people fight over one good item wasn't fun.

This is like a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you play with a group 5/6th of the time it will not be yours. That's how the math works.

That being said, loot drops are increased significantly, including currency (read: mirrors)

I just don't understand why the devs don't want people to have good gear. Having played torchlight 2 as recently as last week, it's like night and day. This game does a lot of things better but if they fixed the drop rates and had more item variety and not just 20 junk magical items from every boss it'd be fantastic.
