Normally I would resist commenting on a post like this, but for some reason this one just got to me. I checked your account, you have one character that is level 62, in Standard (I can only assume it's a dead Nemesis character since it has 1 total death). The other characters are level 1, level 4, and level 34.

Ever thought that he deletes dead HC characters?
Can you find my 3 higher dead characters, without checking older race ladders?
Can you restore CB characters?
Or do older players believing that PoE end+late game turned really bad have to show those ones:

?


In fact I consider the drop rates horrible too.
Earlier I could counter that with powerful vendor receipes but now? Yeah..... No Lifing and RMTing without consequences.

His second point is correct too but I disagree with his third.
While I understand that the game should be based around rares and some uniques should be build enablers the unique design is really poor.

It doesn't look like that the unique creators ever played Classic D2 or D1. I am not talking about LoD.
Do you think it's a good design to create uniques that will be thrown away 5-10 levels later?


There aren't many useable uniques over many levels.
You need more uniques like Goldrim and less uniques like Voidhome.

Some uniques could easily gain more uses with slight changes.
Such as Quill Rain being a acceptable Elemental Hit bow without the 50% less weapon damage-->2 purposes instead of only 1 skill.
Rare elemental damage bows certainly will still beat it easily. But the 50% malus makes it less useable than a white 1.55 APS bow.

Bramble Jack could would be an excellent Reflect Build item if mobs had proper scaled damage. But a3 merciless+maps are scaled in a way they would kill 90+ characters what kind of poor design is this?Better said it's just like playing lethal mod in normal.
Having over 74% physical reduce 75% fire resist and getting 2 shot by the Hedge Mace Devourer on point blank with jade+granite flask being active? Create a Lethal league for those players who believe that such mechanics mean difficulty. Difficulty is something that means that you have got a feeling of chance and not that "If you touch it you die"

Other uniques are so incredibly rare so they will be RMTed.


Or massive changes in balance rendering some uniques totally useless such as Sin Chol or Dark Scorn(But Lioneyes got much stronger...)
Ever had the idea that this way of Prenerf for a future change pisses players off?
There were prepared changes for something that came 2-3 weeks later.
How about only changing challenge leagues?

Sadimas Touch was a good nerf.
Kaoms, Silver Branch, the Dragonscaleboots, Onyx amulets etc were bad ones.
You could nerf items in a way without affecting the stats at all.
Such as changing the Silver Branch base like with Death Harp and increase the level req.



Support is another case. I believe in his case it's just that the support didn't understand what he meant.
But still support works with standard answers and even lies.

For example the RMT rule. People expose themselves as RMTers.
And the standard answer is "We ban 1000 accounts daily"
Do you believe people are that stupid? RMT boards show that you warn RMTers and they mock you.
Those people don't get banned and at best take steps to go under the radar.
Even more popular cases such as RG_Panko with a 9month late ban, is RMTing in standard now under an unknown account instead of being kept away. And he literally took zero precaution on RMT. Same goes for his friend buying Shavronnes on the RMT board.

And Chris talks about China Farmers? Are you kidding?

Everybody knows that RMT works this way: People sell stuff for Fools Gold, and sell Fools Gold for real cash. With the real cash they can buy support packs or do a living.

Other item shops use Itemshopsuppliers who are RMT board users constantly buying stuff but have not a single character and a constant flow of fools gold. Those buy fools gold from the RMT players if they need some.

And you believe in Taiwan/Thai/China Farmers?! China Farmers live like slaves and have several connections on the same ip or slightly different.

PoE isn't popular enough to get China Farmers and you can clearly create groups of high tier player. If there would be China Farmers they would be high of the beginning of the ladder but in reality the first rare items come from Itemshopsuppliers and RMTing high tier players.

How is this on-topic.

You know better how to use the appropriate sub-fora, Hilbert. :P

Ya I'm actually starting to feel bad for the guy. No one likes to be humiliated or shamed in such a public fashion.

Dat irony, if this was redit the dude would be publicly shamed and it would even be upvoted.

So i Start play in Relise Date again in Nemesis and - 0 Exalted 0 Ethernal orb drop for all my 6-7 charcter 60-72 lvl.

This is fail for this game my ADVICE: dont play this game. This drop rate is - unbalancing and fail.


And very very many unic items is this game is fail from vendor, so finaly conclusions:

1. Very bad drop rate good orbs - unbalancing.

2. Very many fail (sell to vendor) unic items drop and suports add more fail unic items.

3. Very bad idea - drop 1-50 lvl unic items to 60-80lvl Charcters (player 60-80lvl)

4. Very bad work stuff and admins GG, I create 3 times Bug report and use email stuff - so dont fix and dont help this fails situations in this game.

I dont play this game now because - this very fail moments and suport ignore this.

Normally I would resist commenting on a post like this, but for some reason this one just got to me. I checked your account, you have one character that is level 62, in Standard (I can only assume it's a dead Nemesis character since it has 1 total death). The other characters are level 1, level 4, and level 34.

Yet you're complaining on here about how the drops rates are bad, and how you've leveled "6-7 characters to 60 or higher without finding an Exalted Orb".

Constructive criticism is one thing. Telling flagrant lies on the forum to fit a false narrative is something else entirely.

Our support staff works tremendously hard, around the clock, to ensure that every player gets their concern answered. I sincerely doubt that you've been ignored by support in the three instances you claim you wrote to them.

Whatever personal issues you may have with the game aside, I think you have a hard time with the truth.

6 Characters leveled to 60+ (4 of those 82+) - Played game for over a year. And my account isn't private. Go ahead and check :)

I have had 2 exalts - 0 eternals - 0 mirrors - 0 uniques worth over 10 ex.


So yes he might have been lying, but his point stands.

I don't want to come across as trolling, and maybe I'm just blessed by RNGesus, but it has been my experience that orbs fall like rain while twinking alts/rerolls. I mean, isn't that what those OP leveling uniques are for, to let us gear up to faceroll low level content while maxing IIR so that orb drops while leveling are worthwhile? I have a lvl 42 dualist that I rolled up to enjoy a rare axe with some huge physical damage, Ignomon and Goldrim (Sadima's if you want some overkill, IMO) are all I have needed to pull in, on average, a chaos and an alch drop every hour, on top of jewelers, fusings, chromatics, etc. (it is not uncommon for my toon to have 6+ inventory slots with different orb drops on my "town dumps")

IMO, leveling toons with high IIR is the best way to farm for orbs (and alteration/alch shards). Part of the reason for this is the smaller pool of available drops at lower levels. I perceive that increased IIR at these lower levels appears to trend drops towards Orbs.

I am willing to put out there that players attempt an experiment. Track the number of orb drops (you can include orbs generated through vendor recipes as well) that you get on your highest level character over a two hour period of time. Then roll up a fresh toon, twink it to the gills with high DPS and as much IIR as you can support, and run it for another two hours. Compare orb "generation" rates for each. I posit that the reroll/alt will have a better ratio of orb:time.

Again, totally willing to accept that RNGesus loves me, and that my experiences are fringe case. Although I do think there is merit in my theory.

I can't seem to find this mentioned anywhere, but i was just browsing last weeks PC Power Play, an Australian magazine also sold in NZ, and Path of Exile is their Game of the Year.

I'd post a link but the magazine's website is about 2 weeks behind the printed copy.

GGG obviously already know about it though, as Chris did a small interview for it.

maybe awards for desync,bad drops,bad itemization.

Shity game
