What Happened with Items

Chris yet again saved the world.

"

"I have seen parties in this league get multiple mirrors per day, or find over 50 Divine Orbs from a single monster."

I cant believe that Chris is seriously this much out of touch..

So u want to destroy the game for all players because some end game groups can invest in juice and get profit from their investment in softcore?

I also refuse to believe that this is true, show me one clip that shows a group getting MULTIPLE mirrows in a single day or even a single monster dropping multiple divines...

The game is evolving and I like a lot of the changes.

There is too much line in the sand grandstanding from a loud section of your fan base. So sorry you gotta deal with all that, alot of them want the game to revert back to previous leagues that they also shit on. Comical.

I got my first lunaris touched monster today (I got a challenge reward) after 300.000 kills, it dropped 3 Chaos orbs... the whole League I got 6 ex drops and 1 divine I'm just depressed at this Point.

-

Total Bovine Scatterings! A week played every day and not a single exalted or divine drop because I haven’t hit you lottery button! Revert this mess now!

If I hear - "We playtested it extensively and it felt appropriate" - I'm gonna lose my s**t.

What i want to see is Chris going from 0 to Uberbosses , on stream ofc. Just to get an idea what his vision is and how it works on players

Exactly this. Less talk, show us on stream how YOU would play the mess that is your game right now and backup your comments.

I… didn't actually understand the impact of the change. It was mentioned to me in passing (that we were removing the league monster bonuses and replacing with just quantity), and I didn't ask any more questions. I was busy, distracted, and should have sought more information. Had I understood the consequences, we likely would have still gone ahead with the change, but hopefully with better communication and maybe some pre- rather than post-release counterbalance elsewhere. This is a massive internal communication fuckup and I take full responsibility for it.

That's a great position. I believe nothing speaks about lead dev more than his willingness to take responsibility for his work. How could you not love this guy?

For example when playing Breach, the reduction in currency items found is around 7% (when comparing 3.19.0d to 3.18.1f). In 100% Delirium maps, the difference hits 17%. In Incursion and regular non-league content, you'll find 25% more.

Nope. There is something wrong on your side, maybe you testing it wrong. I don't believe it. I played this game long enough to understand that this league was far worse.


Also, I think that GGG misses the fact that their most valuable asset - is trust of the community. Why people buy MTX, why people invest into the game which they can't really control.

Because we believe you and in you, guys. Even if it is shitstorm - to be transparent is the best way.

"
For regular players who are just alching their maps and adding difficulty where they feel they can handle it, we think that drops are in a pretty good place after this week's changes. They should have been like this at release, and I am deeply sorry that they were not."


Ah. Ok.

I just did 10 rare maps from T8 to T10. My best drops in those 10 maps were 2 alch and 1 chaos orb. I'm not joking. And this is not me being crazily out of luck.

You think this is fine ? I feel like not dropping an ex or a divine per map is pretty okay, but not even an alch, chaos or vaal orb ?

Ok. Then if drops are in "a pretty good place now" to your perception, I'm assuming very little change is going to come (if there are any).

I tried to brute force hoping you would get your shit together even when everyone of my friends stopped already but this is the end of the league for me. Probably of PoE if it stays that way in the future.

Thank god D3 new season is coming out today, and I can't believe I just wrote that. It's trash, but it's at least going to bring me a few days worth of fun, which PoE's new league hasn't been able to bring me for a few hours.

See ya.
