Lack of gear upgrades in endgame is my core problem

Like how they added more T2, T3, T4 items laying all over the ground, that did absolutely nothing.

I've had a few decent (for trading, not upgrades for me) tiered rares drop, but almost every tier 3-4 magic item I've picked up has had a single undesireable affix in a high tier. like "sweet, let's check out this T4 magic falconer's jacket that just dropped. oh...it only has thorns/reduced ignite duration/life regen per sec on it"

A) Pretending SSF should be a broken experience because people in trade league just RMT into the most broken gear is not an excuse. SSF poe2 is a video game, and the experience needs to be better so people dont just stop playing after some point at endgame cuz it stops being rewards

B) The reconmbinator in its current form is utterly useless, you will be getting something like 2.5% when trying to combine ONLY 2 HIGH TIER AFFIXES, so no at endgame you dont get 3-4 affix gear from recombinator, you only need high tier affixes, not some garbage t2

If recombinator gave us 75% chance to combine two t11 affixes I would agree, maybe 30% to combine 4 t10 affixes

But at that point at the endgame nobody cares about t2 or t4 affixes, they are garbo

A) First of all, SSF wasn't even created by GGG and they have never had any intention to balance it. It was created by some group players who desired to make a private ladder with a harder game mode years ago. GGG just officialized it later. Sorry, but it doesn't have to be a "better experience" just to fit your preferences. If you don't like it, don't play it. It is easy as this.

B) It is not useless, it has been saving my SSFHC a$$ multiple times. It is not an item editor like what you seems to be looking for, and I can agree that it can be improved, but it is far from useless. I just tried to help you giving some tips how to improve your experience using that, but, reading your reply, I guess it was in vain. Anyway, have fun with whatever you doing ;)

edit:
An example of recombinator with a 3 good (not T1) mods at ~14% odd. Obviously it is not about 3xT1 item, but that ring wouldn't be useless at all. As I mentioned, it is not hard to get a good life roll with exalted slams on a item with 3 open prefixes.

And I have no idea why you think T2 doesn't matter. Some T2 mods are just slight lower than T1. STR T2 is just 3 points in average lower than a T1. That is meanless, specially on SSF. Makes no sense.

90% of my lvl 84 drops from T4 Pinnacle bosses roll "Reduced attributes" on them.
This is a MAJOR problem
Bad rolls is one thing but I'm not even exaggerating the excess of reduced attributes rolls on end game items is disgusting.
Whatever number GGG has set to that they need to turn that crap way way down.

We are talking about endgame here, 91+, t5 is garbage.
At endgame you want high tier affixes, try the same with some t10 affixes and enjoy the 0.2% success rate.

Nobody said you can’t create MID gear with recombination but that is a waste of time cuz you will get mid gear while leveling anyway, at endgame you want good gear, which means good affixes at high tiers

The fact that even something as mid as what you be shown has 10% of succeeding shows how the recombinator is pretty useless

Look, if it is about "91+", we can pick concrete examples if you want. You can look at my own char (98), for example, and see that you don't need an items like you described to go far.



Except for my glove (which I did with recombinator btw), there is no item with more than 1xT1. By your standard, my char is full of "garbage items" while they still could care me that far.


On the other hand, this is your char, right? How can you say that those "mid tiers" are garbage while you use items like those?



There is nothing exciting there. Nothing like you implied that a "91+" would need to progress in the game. That belt for example, you could easily craft something a lot better with "garbage tiers" on a recombinator.

I don't mean it like you shouldn't run with that, actually the opposite. If it is the best you got so far, just do it. It is not trade league. I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy.

This has been my experience as well. Tier 5 boots that get stun, lower attributes and chill duration mods is the opposite of having fun. Ironically lower tier drops have been more successful for me. I will not be surprised if there is some funky math with high tier drops that makes the higher weight and usually less desirable mods to be more likely to roll on these items.

Just chill people, the game is not even released yet. You know they will add more stuff. They will keep slowly adding new content while fixing and stabilizing the core game. POE1 had nothing at the start. Last epoch took years of beta testing to get where it's at. D4 still has nothing. Just be patient and if you are done with the league or you can't progress, just come back later.

I doubt it.

During the closed beta test, we had okay loot. They worsen it in 0.1. Then it went worse again in 0.2. I expect it will be worsen again in 0.3. Then eventually we have ruthless mode in the full release.
