What Happened with Items

this is a huge wall of text to tell us to stfu and you dont care.

also the lake is a complete waste of time, not only do you need to actually build the thing but then its on the worst type of terrain where you constantly get stuck, i get that sentinel was overtuned but the current leagues mechanic should always be on the stronger side so i dont feel like i am wasting my time doing it over other things

Glad to hear what happened and an understanding of what went wrong. So my feedback is this:

1. When the entire community feels negative about something, a more strongly worded initial response is required. It felt like the feedback from the community was barely being received. The initial response should have been worded more along the lines of "We definitely hear you, and agree, that something is wrong with loot. In the next few days we will be doing additional internal test and you will see changes concerning this." Instead we felt like you were doubling down on an already negatively perceived mechanic and telling us tough luck.

2. Having read the feedback I recommend restructuring some of the juice in the game to focus more around the rare monsters. For instance, adding guaranteed rares into maps using the Passive Atlas, and sextants, etc. From what I just read, the loot is there to be found, but the knowledge wasnt available. High-end juicers will need to re-organize how they juice from the ground up.

3. We are still in need of some minion love. I am not as smart as ghazzy but I definitely feel like my minions are struggling a lot. Especially in lake of khalandra zones.


Also, and most importantly, don't let the negative attitude of the vocal minority(reddit) get to you to much. Keep your chin up and moving forward.

P.S. Would love to join the QA team... even part time for free...

Just make a post saying harvest was a mistake and a short term decision with long term consequences that spoiled a lot of the player base :^)

SO basically what Chris saying that , we should've tested it better, i should've control better but you didn't and now you trying to say for people who waited for a month for a new league that sorry but you need to wait another week while we discussing what to change and what to not. I just want to suggest listen what people saying of what they want and at the same time if you implement changes people want we will have fun . Don't try to overthink yourselves, simple things are simple.

I Want my loot back

I stopped having fun this league. No items drop. No currencies drop.

Are you really saying that?
He is the head of the company, was lead developer, and this is the game the whole company relies their fate on.

And just because the person didnt explain enough, should he let things this important go out of his hands?

Do you have any sense of what a person in charge means?

I cannot believe I am seeing brainless wall of shields coming out of you to protect his baffling

I hope when i come back from d3 in a few days you really reconsider the current state of the game ggg.

The addition of interesting rewards to some Archnemesis Mods

When a monster drops 30 different flasks or 200 whetstones, that's not interesting or exciting... It just makes me feel like I wasted my time fighting a dangerous mob harder than the map boss.

I don't want one random AN monster to drop me 30 6-links. I want to get stuff a bit at a time, not all at once. I want to kill stuff and get high valued currency every once in a while, not find some random AN monster that'll drop me 40 divines at once.

"

we took away the extreme juice opportunity, we added a dedicated reward for Beyond: Tainted Currency Items.

That you nerfed into the ground and made worthless. So all you did is remove the juice and left us with nothing.

"

Players went from receiving masses of league rewards as they clear maps to receiving absolutely nothing from the league until they travel to the Lake

You mean we went from receiving league rewards to getting nothing.

"

The Lake itself was also relatively unrewarding on release

It still is unrewarding.

"

they still find ridiculous amounts of stuff. I have seen parties in this league get multiple mirrors per day, or find over 50 Divine Orbs from a single monster.

Who cares about these people? You can't balance the game around the 0.001%.

"

we think that drops are in a pretty good place after this week's changes

Enjoy having the worst player retention out of any league in PoE's history

I hope the game is better
