PoE Needs Unique Loot Tables

One thing that is greatly missing from PoE is unique loot tables, similar to Diablo 2. As a more-than-casual, less-than-hardcore player, after you beat Dominus on Merciless can become quiet boring. You're basically relegated to farming the highest level content you can and hoping. You can get the same items from anyone, and that really limits your options if you can't do maps yet.

One great things about Diablo 2 was being able to farm specific areas for specific drops(i.e. Andariel for runes, Mephisto for Shaco). Even if you couldn't complete the hardest content, you had a wide range of places to hunt for gear, and the ability to hunt for specific gear. In PoE, it's a crap-shoot; you have no ability to change farming outcomes besides farming faster.

I'd like to see more boss or zone specific loot tables. Give Vaal a higher chance to drop weapons, Kole higher chance to drop armor, etc. It would give players like me more places to farm, and give other players a reason to go back and clear other content.

I completely agree with this.

Please, GGG, give me a reason to not vendor every labyrinth I drop.

I agree on most part, but if you're able to beat Dominus then entry level maps won't be a problem at all.

Would be nice to have a higher chance to get good unique drops in maps tho.
Found 2 sellable out of like 80 so far. Most is just crap.

Oh god... Not again.
This is not D2. Why can't you live with that?

Don't you see the main difference between D2 loot tables and PoE loot system?
No?
I'll give you a hint: itemlevel

You can get ilvl78 Crown of Thorns. That's the "fun" part of PoE.
And <50 ilvl (uniq or not) armor, which you'd like to 6Link.

Don't like it? Uninstall the game. So easy...


P.S. GGG already tried to "invent fun for players" - sure, they throw bunch of uniques into "only-map-drop" loottable
A lot of players were really unhappy with it.
In short, result was opposite of the expected.
And now you're asking to even more "bind" loot to certain map\boss\monster. Hell no.

They are unhappy because what they really want is a single player game with an online chatbox. Since endgame maps requires you to both trade and party, they hate any benefit doing such endgame maps will give you.

That said, it is evident that it is far from certain that they dislike the idea of having certain bosses drop certain items far more often.

Such hostile, much correct.

Your observation that this is not D2, while very astute, is misguided. This game is clearly derived from it, therefore ideas that worked in D2 are not off the table.

Moving on, this idea could easily be refined to something like the Poorjoy boss. A hidden mod that gives an additional chance to drop a specific type of base item or unique item would be a great way to add spice to the loot soufflé.

actually that would be nice but the problem is they would have to tell new user to look at it as where now they just jump in and hope to be lucky ++MF!

An ilevel Crown of Thorns isn't fun it's stupid. Of course players were unhappy with high level uniques drop in maps only. Fun is having access to the gear not restricting access to the gear. I don't think you understand if a player knew that for example, only Piety could drop a Kaom's or only Dominus could drop a a Soul Taker that is a good thing.

Convoluted sentence but you know what I mean.

If you're suggesting that GGG would have to give out the info on what mob has an additional chance to drop what, their current policy with such things is to let the community figure it out. Given a high enough chance to drop X, I'm sure the community would figure it out sooner or later.

Not if there is a ingame monster compendium giving them that information.
