Xbox Demotivating Players Market on Xbox One
Yeah i'm pretty much about to be done with PoE on Xbox, the market is so horrible and when i spend like 800 fuse to not get my 6l i pretty much lose all hope of enjoying myself.
Making currency is NOT the problem, i have exalts on exalts. The problem is that even IF i have the currency what i want DOES NOT EXIST. If your body armor isn't belly of the beast, good luck finding a 6l to buy that isnt some shitty rare. This applies to every single facet of the game, climbing thru maps is incredibly draining when you have to pay ludicrious prices for every single red map not including the ever so expensive guardian maps. Combined with the fact that certain things just straight up dont exist compared to pc (buying in bulk, a decent ping system that lets us trade without being glued to the screen etc) it just makes for a shit experience. I know pc players hated Harbi but that was my favorite league by far sinply because i could realisticly push maps. I am building a pc so its gonna be bye bye Xbox poe for me, it's just way too much to handle when you add in the gameplay issues. Последняя редакция: DwarriorPr#4061. Время: 13 мая 2018 г., 02:10:05

I went back to PC as soon as i finished the last ACT on Xbox. No point trying to go further here.
You cannot gear your character for most of the builds outhere , extremely penalizing on the Xbox!Since when is it fun in playing a game where you cannot progress further you can't buy anything you can't get items for your characters you can't trade, prices are ridiculous ...

Yes b league trading is dead thanks to flashback.
Yes 6l items are rare on box. 2 reasons for that.. they are hard to get, and players usually try to 6l items they use. So even if they manage to 6l something they will most likely use it and not sell. Just remember.. if you want a 6l you can do it yourself, but be prepared to use well over 15ex on it. And then when you sell it be prepared for someone to come here on forums and complain why the 6l he needs costs 10ex and how the seller is a greedy robber. Even if its the only 6l on the market and you spent 1900 fusings crafting it. You can do fine with 5l.. 6l is so good that its really rare and expensive. Последняя редакция: V3mpa1N#4301.

" Why dont you farm the items that dont exist, and sell it to me with pc prices. You have the power to own the guardian map market, so the rest of us can buy from you cheap. Be honest to yourself, would you like to sell a guardian map to me for 10c ? or would you rather do the map yourself ? The difference is that pc got quite some extreme farmers, they farm so much that they cant even get rid of their shit by selling it to cheap. I to think harbringer was the best league, not because i loved harbringer packs but because it gave the average player a chance to progress themself. The problem mostly of us are experiencing is that the economy is balanced around having extrem farmers, prehaps bots even. The atlas should in my opinion be balanced around the average not bad solo self found player being able to reach shaper before the end of a league. A game should live because of this and not die because of the lack of extreme farmers that undercut each other. What makes no sense in this game is that: normal monster can drop same map tier as you are doing. Magic 1 tier higher. Rare 2 tier higher. Uniq 3. When you have like 150% chanse to get one map tier higher then the original tier drop, and the result equals 10 tiers lower, then you will loose motivation in time because it makes no sense. Why would you fight for 100% + chanse to get 1 tier higher when it means that yopu will get 10 tiers lower instead of 11 tiers lower. You should get punished by shaping maps, because it means you got lower % to get higher maps. |

If you ask me .. bet you wont.
A game is great when not everyone can complete the whole content every league. That you eighter need to get lucky or work hard to complete the hardest content. Right now you can complete like 99% of the content with gear worth less than 5ex if you make a smart build. |

" Its funny, yesterday i did not understand you because you dont like the Q button. Today you dont understand me even tho everything is there to read :P My post is 100% about map drops. I find it slight anoying when you go from white to yellow maps. Its more anoying to go from yellow to red. When you sustain t12-t13 maps then the gap is far to extreme to first get t15 and then t16, because all you will find is t3-t13 sometimes t14, even tho you may have 150%+ on the atlas bonus. A player like me that give zeroF about currency soon as I am somewhat happy with my gear to fight endgame bosses find it very anoying to not be able to do what makes the game fun for me. I think the game is balanced if you are able to do this in solo self found and have time over and build up new hype for the next league without being anoyed because you did hundreds and hundreds of t11-t14 maps and only managed to get one shaper attempt. |

Sorry, i did not directly reply to your map issue, i can relate to it.
More on the onroaring gear costs too much, 6l is too rare etc. I dont have map tab and so managing maps is terrible... i would love to pick up every map and trade them to slowly get higher tier ones but it is impossible and i end up running terrible maps that i hate. Few times i have bought bulks of 20-40 maps just to get a decent farming run. |

We all agree that there is no point playing this on Xbox :/ sad.
There is no motivation playing here, when you look at the pro and cons i only see cons. Последняя редакция: GolStuff#4726. Время: 13 мая 2018 г., 19:15:27

I agree the market is becoming a real issue. I used to say no problem, but it’s getting worse and worse. At this point, there are hardly any items to buy. The few that are up there are insanely expensive. It closes the door to several aspects of the game like crafting or trying different builds. The easiest fix would be to up the drop rate.
At this point, I went from playing about 5 hours a day to logging in just to do zana. Judging by the marketplace, I get the feeling I’m not th only one who is losing interest. Hopefully they do something to encourage people to play more, not continuously grind new characters with no gear just to have to reset in a few weeks. |

Honest question..
How is it possible for hcssf players to push so hard? Just pick any streamer and they farm red maps all the time. They seem to do great on gear/maps. Already lvl99. And here we sit and whine about not being able to play since we cant buy the items and maps we need? I agree on the market being dead atm. I agree that not every spec is doable. But i dont think just getting more drops is the solution. One thing that really would make a difference would be flasks.. if we could bind several flasks to one button you know |
