Improvements to Item Drops

I see many who have some issues with math.

We have some drop rate. Like 1.
Before nerfs we have many ways to up it, include base shadow bonus on some mobs. So we get 1 + 3000% or something around. And we boost final value by gear and currency. It gives us 30 + ???%
GGG remove shadow bonuses. And what we get in final base 1 + 200-300%...
So now take result chance as 2-3 and sum with generously improvements to item drops.

Maybe I wrong. I hope I wrong and it will be working as we hope. But I don't want to believe in something good after this sucker punch in the balls.

thank you so much for your generosity

Where did you go to school?

The same school as any of us that know math.
33% of 10% is 3.3% for a total of 13%.

People bad at math latch on to 33% and go WOW 33% BUFF! lmao

Is this going to be QUITE IMPACTFUL???

Are we going to GET OUR MAGIC FIND CHARACTERS READY????

I'm still waiting for the very rewarding AN mobs. Where they at?

Do you understand what GLOBAL means?

In the constantly increasing game difficulty and the constantly weakened player body
from nothing
It becomes to get 1~2 pieces
There are still people who think we should thank GGG
wtf?????

DO you?
They nerfed loot " GLOBALLY" by 90% by most estimations. a 33% buff at THAT number, is a new value of 87% nerf.

"globally"...why are you finding that word to somehow be super important?

Ty, looking forward to the list/details tomorrow.

Our currency tabs have much more than 25% of a reduction versus most past leagues. Maybe I'm very wrong with how this gets calculated before quant bonuses though... would be awesome if this was a bigger buff than it sounds!

IMO the Unique changes are cool. They don't help our concerns, but are cool anyway so +1 TY

The Lake is a straight-up awesome MECHANIC and was very well designed. We just want it to drop more than 2c for an entire lake. Prior to yesterday's buff, it was 0c. Post-buff, it's 2c, and still not worth the time investment by a mile. The LOOT needs a complete rework, like all chests are currency or something. The overall mechanic is awesome and I know many people who love it and wish it was worth the time to run. I hope the notes in this post are more than another "rare chest drops more rare items you don't pickup".

So when will t his be deployed? :o Has it already been? I just came back to the game after 2 years off. My loots was struggling :P

So which one is it, awesome design or drops should be a lot better? Because until drops are fixed its not a good design in my mind. The game is about loot, implement a mechanic with lousy loot and it's not a good design.

people give GGG a lot of shit this league but god damn they work hard to satisfy us ungrateful peasants.

Thanks GGG for working so hard on these patches

Just letting you know that I've purchased SpooderMan 2 Remastered on PC instead of buying supporter pack for this league, which I was very hyped about but held myself from impulsive purchase.

Thank you Chris, you are indeed a man of your word and you know how to let people go and leave PoE to play other games.

How did they nerfed it globally, since they specifically said "massive historic bonus to item quantity and/or rarity that applied to some league-specific monsters"

Have you ever tried playing everything blocked, with no master missions? I bet not, because everyone looks at the top end.

And trust me, this is honestly a good thing if you ever want to get ultimatum back. (yeah that league content was also heavy buffed in terms of drops)
