"Streamer loot" needs to be seriously questioned

It was painfully obvious yesterday when me and many other people were disconnecting multiple times an hour and constantly losing progress, that the streamers were not affected.

Given that streamers skip queues & obviously play on more stable servers, I think it's fair to question whether "Streamer loot" is real. IMO if streamer loot turned out to be real, it would quite literally be criminal.


We know for an absolute fact that streamer priority is a thing for queues and likely connection stability. It wouldn't be that far fetched to assume that the same is true for loot seeds.



you know for a fact that for one league they did it for about an hour for some streamers who were being paid to play the game for a 4 hour slot.

if you cared about facts you could also go and look at the hours and hours of footage of streamers being disconnected and unable to log in just like everyone else on every other league start, including yesterdays.


it would far fetched to the point of mental illness to assume that they are giving streamers loot seeds.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
Just never watch them ever that is how I do it.
I really doubt there is some hidden buff. Remember all the stuff you see in the compilation videos is simply cherry picking -- they don't post the boring stuff because no one cares. They advertise the "omgerd" moments.

It's all social engineering to generate views. If you're that salty about it then just stop watching streamers.
Ziz and gazzy where getting DC´d way more then me atleast ^^

I solved my dc issues with playing on Canada since saturday now, way more stable then anything in EU atleast for me. Had 0 dc´s since i did.


And as said before also, youtube is full of clips from streamers getting dc constantly. Im just happy i am a bit behind the pack so it wasnt like for my friend loosing out on multiple maps >.<

It's rare to see Ziz get upset and start cursing all over the place. I have seen him do that maybe twice (well, ok, I don't actively watch him). Point being, once you start seeing Ziz pop up in compilations acting all salty af, you know things are bad. He usually has a lot of patience. Though, hearing him say "I've lost 11 maps today. 11 T16s. It's so hard to sustain." explains it all, really. Took me 2 hours to even see the beach, before and after it was all non-stop DCs, rollbacks and crashes, and on the day after. Worst league start for me since Ultimatum launch.

I think in the end he lost 17 T16 maps, personaly i spent 2½ h with Chambers of Sins act 2 before i could move on. Im just thankful it was an area i had alot of fond memorys from farming back when Act 2 was "end game".


I´ll just keep telling ppl for now try Canada, works good for me living in sweden atelast. Everyone is feeling this one, im 68 now and just got to last act, and i honestly feel like i will stay there a little and just chill one extra day. And hope they are back on track later today :)


rip to all the lost items! Beside the random dc league is a blast for me atleast!

It took me 6 attempts to clear Daresso. Had to start from the very beginning each time. Waypoint wouldn't save, and rollbacks. Kaom's area took 3 attempts. Ironically, I was able to do both first Labs without a problem, occasional lag spike aside.

Before you go around spouting streamer priorities, you do know that there are multiple servers in POE?

Some servers have issues that have problems even until Sunday. While other servers are all fine and stable.

In my zone, I know Singapore was having frequent DC and rollbacks, but Aussie and Japan were fine. I knew from discord EU servers was on fire. So it all depends on which server you are logging in from.

On streamer loot, I call bullshit. If you play the amount of hours they play, you will definitely see the loot that they have. All about the insane hours they put in.
