What Happened with Items

I'm sick of being your "tester" every league start.
I'm sick of playing this unrewarding league.

Work more for less...

I will only believe if Chris himself turns on the stream and shows us how to play well. Does he want to play long? So let him play 12 hours a day throughout the league as a streamer.

i actually read most of this explanation, and....

40000% rarity bonus to nothing is still nothing. And yea sure if you have this luck to run in a certain mob that have big rewards you might get lucky and get 50 divines. I haven;t seen one this league.

You say 7% lesser drops on average this league, then tell me why i don't have 7% lesser scour,alchs, chaos etc, i sit on almost zero on every currency except i have shitloads of worthless currency, armor and weapon quality over 400 without even remembering that i picked them up they just grow out of nothing, every mob you kill has them, in the past even the scour and alchs abundant. I can't even just scour maps to progress with the bonuses because i am constantly sitting on zero.

And i also need that currency because of the absolutely lack shit cluster of regular drops, i had to buy a 6 link for the first time in like 5 league's because i was still running yellow maps on a 4 link and the fkn damage nerfs off past leagues made and advanced just plain simple became absolutely dread-full.

I never had so much unfun, as the reward versus time is absolutely zero for the casual mapper, the struggle to just not die more then once a map by just advancing trough maps have never been as bad as this league. Lesser defense on arch-nemesis i couldn't give a fuck about there defense, it's their offense i get pissed about, i can skip a mob that to hard to kill, i can't skip their edge of the screen 1 shots.

And the biggest fucking problem is i can't do anything about it, i have no fucking currency to roll a map so i can have a chance of somewhat pleasantly cruise trough it. I died in fucking twice in uber lab for the first fucking time in like 6 leagues????????

I have no idea how you still keep pushing this narrative after all the players and the streamers noticed that 90% is not true. Most people don't run that extreme case of juiced maps. Most people don't see the edge cases that drop tons of loot. Some people don't even get to the hardest bosses. Some even don't get to do red maps. MOST PEOPLE will not get to see a mob dropping 50 divines.

You guys fucked up somewhere with the drops and you're not owning up to it, and also not fixing it.

For fuck's sake that's not the problem... the problem is the fact that in most cases you spend 5-8 maps to get a mediocre to decent tablet (if you want a good one and are lucky maybe even more) TO THEN FINALLY BE ABLE TO DO THE LEAGUE MECHANIC.... AND RECEIVE FUCK ALL less than you would get running 1-2 maps of almost any previous league.... THAT IS NOT AN OUT OF AREA PROBLEM, that's a loot problem.

At least own up to your mistakes rather than blaming your ENTIRE COMMUNITY of being schizophrenic and the lack of loot being in their heads. If someone can't sustain mapping through normal juicing that means that also IN AREA there's not enough loot. It's not the edge cases or the special conditions that got fucked, it's everything. Stop lying to us and to yourselves.

It's so hard to like the game when the devs just come, acknowledge the issue, then say that it's not really an issue and it's all our perception.

Maybe just maybe.... when 90% of your community is telling you that something is wrong... JUST MAYBE they are right, there is an actual problem, and instead of putting more fuel to the flames, take ownership of the mistake and fix it, don't dance around it being like "hahHAHA yeah loot is fucked, hahaHAHA but it's just on the most juiced cases, HhAHAHAH even though it's more proffitable to just pick up random items and sell them for chaos recipe actually there's plenty of loot" go get your white makeup and red nose at this point.

You can't just adjust the tester's average return after testing for 8 hours a day,

The actual thing to consider is that most players may only be able to play for two hours a day,

It feels like you're still working overtime after multiple days without earnings.

What's more, ordinary players usually consume props in low-efficiency places, unlike top players who clearly know how to strengthen their characters,

We need more currency to build a character than you might expect.

And the current situation is that I judge that I can't build a complete character for the whole season, or even make a few satisfactory pieces of equipment...sad.


I hope it can be restored to the way it was before 3.18. I still find it very interesting at that time.

Gl playing your own game then. I'm in trade and I haven't felt so poor even in SSF HC leagues in the span I have played. Drops are shit no matter my investment.

AN are still retarded if I'm not playing meta build and with 2m dps I have to die few times or just plainly skip them.

So fucking out of touch what is really going on in your own game.
Fucking regret buying supporter pack.

Apology mostly accepted, it is commendable that you stood out and said something.

As far as loot goes, it is mostly back to acceptable levels.

Archnemesis is better, but with modifiers like the lightning totem, which is pretty much camouflaged in a fight, the damage still needs to be reduced.

Coming from the above, minions are still not strong enough for the level of investments they need to stay alive, currency, passive, item and skillgemwise. Summoners are not a doall wander build which swallows mirrors and spits out 6 man party dps, so why are they needing that amount of investment? Please, listen to streamers at least, beacuse when someone like Ghazzy says it's bad, then it is. I don't live my day in POB before league launch, they do, and have more insight into it. But we are both saying that they are weak.

Crafting? I'm not into it that much, but when i saw Path of Matt's video yesterday about what you did with the +2 amulet crafting for example, i'm like what? You are seriously gonna kick the literal thing that keeps the game alive on high end out from under the game? It worked so well with archnemesis hasn't it?

If you say you're going to bring the testers in earlier, then please, start at the new league brainstorm, and ask them if it's even a good idea how you want to do it. So much simple, but impactful stuff was wrong with any single league i have seen that it's baffling why they have been overlooked. Aka: Harbringer, beastiary monster power, betrayal monster power and spawn rate, delve sulphite cost, heist door frequency and opening sequence bugs, blight map tower doing fkall, etc. In their respestive leagues, they had massive problems, which got fixed mostly after multiple consequent leagues.

And why are you pushing the idea that league content should be harder? As an example, i still think that uber elder was and is the bess bossfight in the game. What did you put in after that? Visual diarrhea sirus, with oneshots barely avoidable, maven with a very out of place kids game? Harder content is not x2 hp and x8 dmg. It is mechanically harder, and innovative fights. sirus and maven may have been a good idea in Diablo with 8000% player power creep every league, but not here. The same applies to league monster. Archnemesis already had monster where i accidentally put a regen mod on a trickster assasin one, and tha literally fkd off into the sunset after flickering me twice for half my hp, never to be seen again. And you went ahead and implemented an already problematic system into the game, where betrayal is nowhere to be seen, while being a pretty fun league mechanic.

People love the game, and want to play it, but as we have seen, they wil not take everything positively, even if you have meant it. Not everything needs to be said befaore launch, but this literally was move that rivals.

READ AND LISTEN. Not only to me, but to feedback in general. It's fine that you have vision, but when you throw it in the pot like Warframe, first, an abomination that is stiched together comes out, second, your paying customers get mad.

This is the right direction, but PLEASE, PUBLIC TEST REALM.

The damage has been done, it feels like very little people are playing. It honestly feels even worse than the last month of leagues.
