Wow, lots of misguided entitlement on this thread. The large rare chest nearby is missing too. BUG QQ. Class action lawsuit! :P

And there are plenty of minibosses to farm for loot. Its not like different bosses have better chances to drop specific unique loots; and these sub-minibosses don't lootsplode like Vaal/Brutus.

Hes practically a reskin of the crossroads melee miniboss. I's rather farm him instead, as he's always located on the hill in between the WP and the Chamber of Sins entrance. As oppose to this boss's randomized location, in a huge map where you can easily get lost in.

Addit: thinking about this further, some usual drops would be good. See Core Dweller, where you get drops and a passive point. And you can farm it if you desire. Reading Neon's reply, ah well


first off, congratulations - this post is a level above your usual trolling.
maybe there is still hope for you after all? :)

second, the problem I (and I guess the OP) have with this isn't "oh noes! I killed this boss and got no loot!". it's the whole concept of a mob designed to drop no loot.
in a game of this sort, every mob should have some chance to drop something. and a boss usually has a greater chance to drop something better.

you can't violate this extremely basic concept, and continue to call your game an ARPG.
that's how bad this change really is.


I'm getting selective vision at this point, I only just seen the bolded parts of your response. I just looked at it, nodded and said glibly "correct" and went back to what I was doing.

As per thread title:

I'm actually completely fine with this mini boss not providing any loot. Considering how easy it would be to farm him, I think the idea of him not dropping loot is a-ok.

However many ppl might take issue with something like this, so perhaps there is a better solution:

Move the "glyph" to somewhere semi-random in the woods and have him and 2-3 guards "guarding it", while leaving the guard camp and mobs at the end of the road.

the above idea is similar in context to the glyphs in the rhoa nests (which are located
semi-randomly themselves).

Just a thought.

@the others: shame on you again for wanting gear. You are utterly disappointing. I cannot believe this is happening. You're an exile, be happy you got off the ship alive. You're privileged to run buttneked in Wraeclast, stop being entitled now ;) or I'll write the "silver plater" sentence in my next post...


and I am indeed honored.
honored to be past Merciless and still running around with no pants on :)
take a look at the armor appearance thread.
you can be #1 in the ladder with godly gear, farming impossible-modded level 70+ maps just for fun - and still look like a homeless bum with a big stick...

This is obviously not a problem, and intended. Fork out the cash if you want to look good. Who cares you can look better at lvl. 1 than a godly char at 90. It makes sense and working perfectly fine :)

Absolutely, I cannot agree more. Self entitlement is rampant on these forums. We need to root out this evil.

Well looks like another reason for me not to play, they just keep piling up. I will not tolerate a no drop mini boss, that is just dumb.


Chris and Brian need to get their game together fast.

Sincerely,

A concerned fan.
R.I.P. my beloved P.o.E.

I would fork out the cash, if I didn't know the end result would be horns of fire, shiny weapon, AND cute Kiwi pet - but still no pants on :)
a regular homeless bum, evolved into a demonic homeless bum. YEAH! didn't have those horns at level 1! oh, wait...

The game just keep throwing weird and bad things at us patch after patch. Useless item mods, skillbooks(Why this was implemented i really dunno. Im almost at full stash every time, when i end the quest i cant pick the book, i have to clear stash, then pick the book etc, as if just simply giving SP as it was earlier was bad), nerf after nerf, stuff like lightning thorns, now a unique boss that doesnt drop loot - so whats the point of having him? Could just not implement him and leave it how it was earlier. Or add a rare/2 mobs there that actually drop something. REALLY weird decisions :P Does the unique golem in crossroads still drop loot? He can be farmed by ctrl+click too, usually takes 5 second to get to him from zoning in, needs nerf :P
Lesson for GGG here is instead of giving us entitled spoilt want it now brats awesome stuff over balanced gear and rewards should be done backwards Start from sucky junk useless crap items and skills and then slowly buff them Then we'll go GGG ure so awesomeness instead of nerf rage barf QQ hate hate iQuit uninstall Kingsroad BABY!
POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!

Now, again in actual coherent English?

Cos that ONE block of text with little to no puncuation was an absolute eyesore to read.
And I don't want to just automatically assume like every time, you're just being a bit of a prat, and skirting the edge of trolling. Even though all evidence points to just that.

The irony being if there was a way to actually take bad items and REALISTICALLY upgrade them for costs, we wouldn't have this problem. Only issue with that is the "hardcore traderz" would then throw a hissy fit cos "the unwashed masses of self entitleds" ruined their fun gouging people and flipping items like burgers....

<_<

oh well. I see my hope about you was misplaced.

and @Hellkaiser I think English isn't his native language.
Trolls are from Scandinavian folklore - so try Swedish.

While I'm not too fussed about the nerf I would like to point out that if the reason for the nerf was because you can get to the mob quickly in a new instance then I would call bs as you can get to Gneiss, Hillock, the dude in Crossroads & often Kole in less than 10seconds with a Quicksilver. Sometimes Gneiss spawns on the same screen as the door. Unique mobs are an ok farm but I don't think this guy would have been farmed, there are better places.

I haven't seen a design agenda in regards to farming from GGG but while it seems they have added side areas for players to farm in they haven't actually made those areas the most rewarding areas to farm...by a long shot. Dread Thicket & Catacombs are nigh on redundant.
