Crafting is too strong and anti-fun. The best way to acquire gear should be to find it.

I think the crafting is very fun. I want to crafting to stay. Its much more fun to craft your own piece then randomly finding it on the ground.

Some fine tuning might be needed, but overall i am having very fun with the crafting this league.


The problem is how expensive it is, any real crafting is just available for the top few percent of the playerbase. And a core system only available for a small percentage of the playerbase, i don´t think that is a good thing.


In my opinion all the expensive and rare omens should be available in greater/perfect like the main currencies are. But capped on ilvl. So going for mirror tier items ilvl 82+ is as expensive as it is now. But casuals can also participate in the crafting and craft ok low/mid tier items reasonable cheap.

For example: Normal omens = max ilvl 65, greater 75, perfect no cap.

I'm 50/50 on this one, I prefer "crafting" with greater/perfect orbs instead due to their minimum ilvl...that way it's still RNG but no more low tier mods which is the source of frustration to me (eg. high lvl item with T10 mods).

Looting "valuable" drops is a waste of time since nothing good or valuable ever drops, not to mention a colossal waste of time as you hoover random junk hoping one of them actually has good rolls

"Crafting" is actually gambling that's only viable for ultra wealthy players with a ton of currency they don't mind the risk of blowing away

It literally is deterministic LOL
You're just bad if you think it's not.
People are making 6 desired mod items, there are 1000s of videos around them.

A couple things

1. Yeah it's semi-deterministic according to GGG, and these new omen mods are just the CHEAP mods from the crafting bench, that cost a couple exalts to put on any item...

2. Most people are too stupid to craft even with videos and hand-holding help.

3. Abyss omens will be 10x more rare in 0.4, when Abyss isn't in every single map, additionally they WILL nerf drop rates.


THey didn't make crafting RNG luck based on drops to make it easier for us. The crafting bench really just should be in the game, their omen design is not good in any capacity, as it allows them to inflate the value of everything by affecting drop chance (which they admit they do every single league for a ton of items)

I think Craft is pretty well now after abyss removed next season.
and more affix will be added to make the pool moer big.

but loot of the rare is still a problem
maybe should make lv84+ boss give more better things.
don't worry,it's just avg level 79 map now,even max is only 84,I'm waiting for lv90 -100 maps.

If this is anything like PoE1 which it probably will be, don't expect higher level maps, it is intentionally like that.

Don't lie to yourself, you never found good loot before crafting was improved. You found junk that you hoped would sell so you could buy something someone else found.

Well crafting became easier seems, but honestly i nearly never crafted things in poe since its annoying af. Always just bought things and cald it a day. So yea. Better loot on floor and less crafting worud be nice, but.. i guess devs vision is not that casual and what tey consider as fun is slighty differes from what most of people feel it.

This game is about gambling now and always was, so crafting is about driving your chances to gamble better stuff. This is just worst crafting mechanics of all games ever and your time dnt worth fun you can extract from it X)

yes bro crafting is insane. you can make an entire item which i dont think should be the case. crafting should exist just to fill some niche or to be the finishing touch on an otherwise good find. problem is, the entire economy is driven by the currency system which is the core component of "crafting". it will be hard to nerf currencies/reduce them and replace with something besides just gold or chaos/divine orbs. i guess they could just remove annul/fracturing orbs.

they don't really remove currencies, they only add more.


Won't you guys be shocked when abyss goes core and all the mechanics stay (including desecration but it'll be rare/expensive when it's not league mechanic)

I think OP should play ruthless, im sure they would enjoy it.
