From Hype to Disappointment: How Patch 0.2.1 Ruined the Chase
|
did i miss something - why are people acting like all of the chase items are common when there's only ~60 Gnashing Sash on the entire trade site and only ~60 Palm of the Dreamer also? It's factually untrue that there are no chase items. I have 100 days played in SSF and have never found a kalandras, never found an original sin, never found a dream fragments. The changes to make them *possible* to acquire are very good changes. Saying they're falling out of the sky now is completely, wholly, and irrefutably exaggerated.

" Oh so we gonna go 'SSF BTW'? You want kalandra touch and original sin in SSF mode?? solo self found?? What you need in SSF ? A Mirror of Kalandra?? Well , nevermind, the trade server (Not SSF) unique# already done for PoE 2? "It’s not just PoE 1 with better graphics." Last edited by Mr2888#3516 on Jun 21, 2025, 8:06:36 PM

They lost 97% of their players. My 3 kids and wife also were very dismayed at the 'patch' and all 4 lost interest. What was a family game turned into... a hardcore chore with ALL of their specs nerfed.
But hey you can still speed run w/a warrior non stop leaping right? LOLOLOLOL What a joke. Developers need to put their EGOs down and listen to feedback. |

" +1 but who cares, they took our money for now. | |
" Wrong. I'm a casual player and I don't care about these super rare items. The notion that casual players are even aware of the existence of the things you guys are talking about is completely untrue. Casual player like me care about the game being intuitive, responsive, and fun to play while fulfilling the ARPG fantasy. |

" I didn't say "SSF BTW." I said I have a ton of hours in SSF without these items ever dropping. I didn't say "I want a kalandra's and original sin in SSF." I said These still have not dropped for me in SSF after a ton of hours. Meaning that everyone's claim that these items are "worthless" and "mean nothing" is materially untrue. You guys crying about trade league problems is just kind of a joke because why are you playing trade league if you want to have things to chase? If you're willingly choosing to trade and then complaining that your items are devalued, it's entirely a self-inflicted issue. These items are still (insanely* rare. Just because you can buy them on trade league easier now does not make them any less of a chase item to find while killing monsters. I will be unbelievably excited if I see one drop, so you do not speak for everyone when you're saying that the chase is gone just because of some droprate tuning.

What are the chase numbers on a roulette wheel.
What are the chase cards in a poker game. The game does nothing but suffer from thinking trade matters. Players make trade not developers. Players decide what has value. Players not devs. Devs believe they can fabricate an economy. They need to make a good game and stop factoring trade at all. Its just a thing that is there that players do.... It is hyper deterministic you literally choose all aspects and then buy it. YOU BUY IT. You dont hunt for it, it has an auto notify feature to tell you and the bots when your item is ready . Thousands of bots are constantly hunting for the items to sell. Thousands of bots are monitoring the value of items on the market and snapping up outliers. Which is why .... You make the game for SSF, make it challenging and fun . You make crafting possible and rewarding. You provide ladders of gear to climb by playing the game on increasing levels of difficulty. This game is going downhill fast cause they are not making a game. They are trying to make a mtx store with a pay to win website. I know the game sucks. You know how? Because people dont brag about the game anymore. No bragging about pinnacle bosses. No finding killer loot at the end of some dungeon. No discovering new loot tables that apply to specific hard to reach zones. They use Divs/Hr to describe the games value. How many chaos orbs fall. Which would be cool if it was using them to make items. Nobody is making items why would you, nobody is making crafting videos. Nobody is making characters , instead of character build sites and videos .. its common knowledge not to do that!!! You follow a build guide to make your character. You use door dash to get your items . Gee wonder why the game fails... GGG will be happy for a little while longer. When you Sum the total players interacting with the company it has gone up. In the long run its a loser. Last edited by Jitter912#4278 on Jun 22, 2025, 3:42:18 PM

Posts like the original sound like somebody asking for a salary pay cut because the job is too easy to be rewarding.

I am happy that you feel that way. This game should not be a second job and maybe you will understand someday that wasting your time on mindless grind is not a good thing.
