Path of Exile: Necropolis Teasers

on ssf its much more likely that you target farm a boss unique than just being extremely lucky on div cards, most things that get farmed with cards are not boss related

The divination changes means massive middle finger for anyone who isn't a nolifer..

not really, you can take down the bosses on pretty average chars. you just have to know the mechanics. but this should be obvious. you dont need any boss drop to beat them. I mean, people farming bosses on day 3 are no wizards. they just play well. so why shouldn´t you be able to fight them on day 8 and making a buck off their loot.

this is even better because now map fragments for such bosses rise in prices as well because all the items are boss exclusive. the demand is the same, depending on the meta changes maybe even higher. good change.

Great changes

This is a good change. I really dislike loot homoegenization where you get league mechanic A stuff in league mechanic B. This dumbs down the endgame to simply choosing the most div per h and farming that and makes some mechanics being overfarmed to death whilst others are never engaged with.

While you're at it, please remove boss-specific loot from Voidborn and Valdo boxes.
We arrived at a weird point where there's more foiled valdo variants of progenesis, voidforge or nimis than normal ones lol.

I'm fine with these giving us cheap magebloods. I'm not fine with it printing more uber boss uniques than actual boss kills.

Not against change at all, but would like to point out that the summary of the divination card change is literally: Loot nerfed, this is a buff!

lul

Divination card change is super meh. On one hand, boss cards from stacked decks were already feeling unimportant, so this change feels worthless. While it will be a few sets less in the stacked deck table, farming bosses already feels horrible. TBH, I didn't even know that aside from a couple, bosses COULD drop divination cards. I know that Shavronne and the like do, but the drop chance is so low and most of the cards are trash, so it's a 'nothing' change anyway.

Unless bosses' chance to drop divination cards is increased by a good amount, WITHOUT impacting the chance for other things to drop, it will be a medium-sized nerf impacting some mostly-niche items.

Honestly find this kind of change (divination cards and boss uniques) pointless on a Trade league.
It's a nerf for SSF I suppose to make sure you actually play different kinds of content, but for trade league it's just an increase in the price of these drops.

It's still always going to be better to just farm chaos/divs/currency and buy whatever you want, no requirement to actually beating the bosses.
Unless they make the item untradable or require the beating the bosses to equip I really don't see the point (on trade league).

Does make the SSF journey more interesting though, I guess that's positive.

Overall I like the changes. A few of them require more information to paint a clear picture, but I'm not totally against them.
The div card change doesn't seem to apply to div cards dropped by normal monsters in maps like the double implicit watcher's eye card, right?
But I do like the idea, that certain uniques can only be acquired by killing the relevant boss -> this feels more natural and also incentivises you to do the bosses, which also results in at least somewhat more excitement upon a unique item drop (at least I hope so).

They clearly state in the video that the unid vall outcome option is replaced with the new implicit system.

This means nothing lol....unid vaal outcome is ONE outcome upon using a vaal orb on a map, which is being removed. The introduction of an entirely new SYSTEM of mods, corrupted implicits, doesn't have any connection to the removal of a single mod from a totally separate system.

This is the entire point of my post. They 'very clearly'....didn't actually say anything about how the NEW implicits play out with the OLD corruption mechanic.

Ex: current system, you can only have ONE outcome from a vaal orb. If this continues to be the case....you can't simultaneously receive an 8-mod corrupted rare AND a new implicit. Those corrupt implicits will only exist on somewhat low-value maps. Or else, you need to roll the perfect map before attempting the vaal orb, which really really sucks and ultimately will not be worth the time and effort.

If this is how it ends up working....it takes an already very controversial game system and makes it stupendously worse: all for a few underwhelming implicits (at least based on what was revealed).


***For that matter, what happens to delirium and other implicit mods on maps if you corrupt and get one of these new mods? Did they just make it so you can't ever corrupt a map that currently has an implicit mod? That is absolutely awful.
