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

Assuming that your opinions decide what is and isn't a mistake falls in the same category. You're not the center of the universe, you're not somehow the only one "getting it" while everyone else are blind fools, and your preferences are in no way or shape more important than those of everyone else.

Much of what you believe is wrong with PoE is stuff that I think is well done. The game's not perfect (from my perspective, which is only that: my view), but it does pretty much everything better than every other ARPG I have played (and I played pretty much all Diabloesque games). There are things I'd change or improve (better crafting, some QoL aspects, client coding), but for me, PoE is a better game than D2 was (just a little rough around some edges still) and certainly in an entirely different league than D3.

Also, most ARPGs that tried to be too "innovative" and stray away too much from the D2 formula messed it up, like Sacred (and I was involved with Ascaron at the time).



+1 and QFT.
Sometimes old, tried out recipes work the best. People who can spot these and improve upon them without destroying what made them work, are the most intelligent ones. And this is exactly what GGG has done. You need to be conservative where it matters, and that requires knowledge and intelligence.

Its not so much about no uniques during a playthrough or farm session.

I find it worse when you get 10 or 20 uniques in a farm session and they are all useless straight to vendor low level pieces dropping on your endgame character.

I said getting 10-20 completely useless uniques is worse than getting none at all. Not that i did get that, i actually get none- Well i did but i stopped playing, i just read forums atm anyway

It's still giving you uniques which can be sold for 1-2 chaos per item and if that isn't progression then I don't know what is.
But oh yeah, I know what the problem is! The problem is that you are not getting those 10-20 Lioneye's Glares or Kaoms' that you think you are supposed to be getting! Right!?

Have you tried farming Merveil in merciless? She drops a million uniques with some rarity.


I've done lot's of Lunaris Temple runs in Merciless and Piety drops lot's of mostly blue and yellow crap. Once in a while she will drop a low level unique but I've never seen a high value yet (I'm level 71). What player level is needed to get better quality drops from Merciless Merveil? Do you need to run with much IIQ or IIR?

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

I prefer Piety to Merv. When I farm Piety on Nemesis I run 241iir/30iiq, and she drops a unique about once per 10-15 runs. I am level 88, and I solo farmed her from 64-86. Best drop was an Aegis Aurora about 400 hours ago, and nothing else worth mentioning since. You just need patience when farming her, and don't expect more than 1 good item for every 200-400 hours played. Tell her I sent you, and she will drop you a complimentary unique pirate hat.

What amount of time do you take per farming run and what map is better/best? What amount of IIR and IIQ do you run with? Are you talking about a hardcore league or not? Are you a twitch player that can run a map uber fast and then proclaim that all others should be able to do the same?
