This is the biggest slap to the face yet.

I don't like all this raid boss business, I don't like how these uniques are simply the best, but I don't think they're gonna stay the best either. Either through additions to the passive tree or through an addition of a new item and mod tier to make those uniques not the craziest thing ever.

The funny thing is, this is exactly what the community at large has been screaming for... They just don't know it.

TOO MUCH RNG: a pretty common sentiment around here, wouldn't you say? Fair enough, but how do you solve that? Make items that you have to "earn" by farming a specific area.

But, then people would just farm those areas to get that item!

Make it super fucking difficult to find.

But then people would find it anyway!

Make it super fucking difficult as well.

But then you will just have to have a group to get it!

Oops, raid bosses happened.

I'm on the fence as to whether or not I like that concept. Potentially good things can come of this, potentially bad. Chances are, though, that the bad outcomes will affect almost no one who posts here.

Just so you know, these uniques can't drop from any game area that a player has yet entered.

We expect there to be zero in the economy for some time.

Looks like this is real.

Read that again, he doesn't state whether those are the real stats or not, simply that nobody has seen them. Thusly, he neither confirmed nor denied those stats as being real.

im pretty sure with those gloves i could make a character that is unkillable outside of one shots - literally.

and i could probably put enough work into it where one shots become extremely rare if at all possible. i think im going to start putting this together for the 0.0000002% chance i ever even SEE these gloves, yet alone own a pair.

its funny though just how the games economy works. the rich get richer all the time. im not knocking that by any means, but it almost certainly means if you're not that 1% than you won't experience these items ever. so whats the fastest and easiest way to get to that point? RMT.

sad, is all. for items like this to exist, if they do, i'd prefer they were account bound to be honest.

All I can say is that this items hit the community and the game is over. Forget "legacy". It simply wont matter anymore.

More and more I'm convinced that GGG is pulling the plug shortly and this is their way of going out with a bang instead of a whimper.

What happened? You were a white knight, why switch colors?
