Why do people who hate RNG play POE?

hence why I say there is gold under a mountain of rng.

All ggg needs to do is strip down some of the rng, (actually alot , ... the game has a ton of excess rng )

Why do people who hate RNG play POE?

You can't hate RNG. lol

You can however hate how and why RNG is implemented.

As a content delivery system it is the bread and butter of ARPGs.

As a content gating/blocking device and wrapping gameplay systems in layers of RNG it's abhorrent.

That's my view at least.

The only thing i don't like about rng in this game is getting level 1 mods on a level 70 piece of gear. If they just tightened up the level of mods available on higher gear it would do wonders in sedating the players.

I'm not looking for much, just keep the available mods in between 50 levels under the base item level. Example, itemlevel 60 piece of gear cannot roll under level 10 mods. It would help with the gear starvation some players feel, without affecting the 1%'ers too much. It might even encourage crafting a bit instead of massive hoarding exalteds never to be used.

You mean like... RNG to loot/chance/get the right affixes/prefixes, RNG to socket, RNG to fuse... before you can ACTUALLY use a piece of equipment ?
You mean like... farming lv70 content to roll... a lv 10 unique ? (absolutely unique to PoE by the way)


I don't think that any other game has reached such as insane level of RNG. This is certainly very much in the same league as national lotery.

Sorry for the sarcasm...

You can count the good ones on one finger.

You have a list of all the players that a have left and a system by which to judge them and prove whether or not they are good or bad?

Because there is no good Hack 'n Slay since Diablo 2 on the market and Path of Desync is bad but still better than every other game.

A bit of salt enhances food, a pound of it makes it inedible. In PoE's case, you don't get to the choking bits until you've already eaten half the dish.

I don't mean to provoke anyone, I just feel like RNG is a core part of the game (and simular games in the genre) and I have trouble understanding how someone who hates to depend on luck would keep playing this game. I love RNG, and therefore I keep playing. If I hated RNG I would play something completely different.

people play video game because unlike IRL you get experience and achievements for doing something, while in real life you just get money and credit stolen, while someone get rich from your job. RNG is not rewarding, a boss fight might take you days to gear up, hours to fight and end up with crappy loot.

While a zombie outside town can drop you a mirror you could farm a year and never see one. RNG is not rewarding and stupid. But Poe skill and pasive system added with their 2weekly patching keep the game fresh and worth playing.

just because you don´t like the smell of your husband´s farts doesn´t mean you need to get a new one.

This game starts out great, but once you hit endgame the RNG can take all the fun out of it.

I have two characters on Ambush, one level 75 and the other level 64. I've blown metric tons of jewelers and fuses trying to five link gear, with nothing to show for it. Six link? Not even going to try. And it gets better! I just blew 200 chroms trying to get RRGG on a helm. Did it work? Nope!

Exalted orbs? Never seen one. Divines? Only one. Maps higher than level 68? Nope. Nada. My main has been stuck running level 66-68 maps because those are the only things that drop for me. How about item drops? The only decent unique drop I've had was Wings of Entropy, which I traded for a Kaom's for my marauder. Other than that? Crap leveling uniques that nobody seems to want. How about rares, surely you could make some money from those? Not me. The only decent rares that dropped for me were ones I wanted to use on one of my two characters. Everything else has been vendor trash.

If RNG is not your friend, and it is clearly not mine, the endgame will make you want run away screaming. Right now, that's exactly what I'm tempted to do. I just don't know if I have the will to grind for more orbs at this point.
