The "nuke from orbit" nerf came on time for the peasant class of POE after the ruling class filled up enjoyment.

I look forward to the next league and the same cycle of catastrophe.

This honestly rings more true to me now than it might have in the past. I was quite literally a day or two from being able to do anything significant with shipments and now all the work/time I've put in since the start of the league feels like a complete waste. I'm done with this crap. I might try POE2, I might not. I don't even know anymore.

This right here is peak GGG logic. Make everything as complicated as you can without explaining anything.

I just put random shit in the ships, send them out and just wait for the random "free' stuff. I'm not gonna even pretend that I understand how it works.
Same thing with the mappers. They die randomly, the % chance to die seems pointless (but no explanation as always). Rewards also suck, but some guy got a mirror, so who the fuck knows....RNG, maybe?

I don't dislike complex games, I dislike bullshit. I'm really skeptical that POE 2 will be free of this; no matter how much they say it'll be easier to understand. GGG love to be as cryptic as possible.

Of coruse hats annoying and a problem. But this exactly what i meant. We had a number without any real information what this number does. This number has now changed, and in the notes GGG said, this was intended and is only a rescaling. But everyone rages, trhat this number was changed. And i understand, because shipments are still RNG as hell. So without a big data dumb we won't get any information.

All i hear is complaining u have to FEEL THE WEIGHT of the ships exile you need to GITGUD and grind you forgot what GGG stands for? Hahaha meanwhile i get my magebloods and HH’s from ships and Atlas runners.

It honestly feels like they swung the changes too far in the other direction. Previously shipments were 99% materials 1% dust (like you were also sneaking on that illegal good good for extra cash). Now it feels like we're just columbian drug runners shipping tons of dust.

I thought I was the only one that compared dust to that other dust. The way Rog is so excited whenever you give him stuff to disenchant might just confirm that.

Rog, while seeming all innocent, seems to be quite the drug lord.

Returned a shipment right now that had 5k of each crop and 25k dust. The grand prize is 4 chaos and an assortment of other irrelevant garbage. Rewards for such a shipment would be waaaaaaaaaaaay better prepatch.

Great "buff" but my patience is done. I'm not playing dust farming simulator league. No I don't want to hear "well you should have farmed up 500k dust for it bro". I'll just pretend this league is a copy of standard.

It's buffed on the lower end, not that most care

what do you call lower end? I was trading with 10-20 k goods before the nerf and was making a divine orb here and there now I can't make a single divine no matter how many ships I send. The ships got totally wrecked and destroyed lowe or high end. These changes where 'things didn't change guys! Its ok!' are really infuriating considering how they balance that BS around high end stuff and it is always the lower end players that get shafted! High end players will always find a way to make mirror orbs... it is the people that are barely having the time to play and make a few devines that have to be looked after in my opinion after all there isn't any difference for me if a few thousand players make mirror orbs or not because these people will make those orbs anyway at the end of the day -.-

I ran 4 ships today. 3x at ~2.5 million and 1x at 5 million, all with crop bonus rewards. 1 million of each shipment was dust. The 2.5 million ships brought back 1 div, 3 div, 1 div, and the 5 million ship brought back 1 div and 2 sacred orbs.

Seems about equal to what I was seeing before. Dunno whether I want to save up for a 50 million giga shipment or just run a bunch more ~2.5 million shipments as my crops grow.

not much changed...

Actually I'm quitting the league just because of the "dust buff".

There is nothing more to do.
