Communication and the Sacred Orb

I agree that this system is more interesting than old quality system, but I really hope that in the end you will only end up keeping one rather than both. Also it is boring to name it 15% variable from perfect defense stats, instead make the number shown optionally and use tag names to define them, like flawed < worn < sturdy < polished < magnificent < flawless

The idea is great, but it also has to come with nice package, even better visual representation. Hope the game improves, GOOD LUCK!

we need the orb for each tag name:
flawed orb
worn orb
sturdy orb
polished orb
magnificent orb
flawless orb

Oh god what have I done

I think we all just want more from a currency that rare, and it feels like especially lately GGG is forgetting the 80/20 rule. Where you focus on the 80% and don't focus on the bottom 10% or the top 10% because they will both adjust naturally if you make things for the magic middle. If the base defense is filterable it's fine essentially eliminating 1/15 or 1/20 rares I need to pick up. If it's not, then this whole system will basically be disregarded and most people will just pick up what they need and that's it because efficiency is still king at the end of the day. Please quit making overtly complex decisions that require more clicking or thinking about what's on the ground, we have plenty to think about without another layer added.

Good thing I already jumped into D2R. I was a fervant player up since beta up until last league which includes, yet again, more unplayable screen cluster, content and items I will never (or very rarely) see, and now with scourge, more content.

Why not develop on current content? Expand the story of existing protagonists and make something interesting out of it? Instead of constantly flinging new stuff to your player base which we pile over the already very busy PoE agenda???? I think I haven't delved since the past two leagues...

Until this business/release model changes, your player base will constantly lower in numbers. I used to enjoy this game so badly...

I barely find Conq Ex Orbs... now we have another tier higher?
Love seeing more content I probably will never see.

Problem: Monsters still do too much damage and people are pretty angry about it.

Solution: We added more RNG into gear because the best way to address monster strength is more RNG and Orbs. We also introduced an Orb to help mitigate item stat RNG, but make it incredibly hard to get for the average player. Suck it casuals.

Did you ignored the whole players defence buffs topics on purpose or just being uninformed?

Its not like items without those orbs gonna be worse than now. But people like to bitch about everything while in the end its just a minor upgrade that matter only when minmaxing build worth few hundreds of exalts.

What's the point of adding something that will drop only for streamers and their crew?
Oh.....trade, always your fucking trade philosophy.

Two suggestions:

1. Postpone this specific implementation until the following patch (retain the veiled craft modifier, remove the base stat randomization). With the massive changes to armour and evasion, it's best to test out how well those systems work compared to ES before trying to throw in another variable.

2. Instead of making a super rare sacred orb, instead have Hillock and Pristine Fossils create/improve base stat randomization. Following which, retain the veiled craft modifier since getting over 20% base would be significantly more difficult outside of said crafts, and the veiled craft modifier does remove a potential crafting suffix in exchange for the balance. This would give us more options, and while also does make optimal gear easier to get (and technically slightly higher), it's still gated behind existing RNG mechanics if you want perfect crafts (via hillock and/or pristine fossils crafts). Adjust the veiled crafts to a lower QL threshold if necessary.

WHERE IS LOGIC!

man, the main goal of the forum is to discuss something
in this thread, we discuss the new orb and not defense buffs
and as you can see active people don't like it cuz it looks like someone invented a problem and solved it in the most stupid way

They are never gonna fix the trade bots. If you're affected as a casual, this game is not for you.

Your purpose as a casual is to serve the trade bots or flip bots. While the main accounts blast content.

Or you could devote your life and put kids up for adoption to become that 1%.
