Predictions on Unique Rarity Tier Changes

LOL they don't need to nerf any drops but buff them is more like it. Especially crafting mats. This game is highly inapproachable for all but most hard core traders/bots/rmters in current form. How can you not see this?

I am not a flipper/trader/bot/rmter and enjoy things being difficult to find, and agree with you that crafting mats should be buffed. The only "exciting" crafting mats that drop are Exalts (meh), Eternals (shiny!) and a Mirror (OMG!). Where items it could literally be the next item you ID.

I am very much the minority in this, but will defend it until it crumbles.

Kids that didnt tried the Invasion and only play in ambush boxes core are complaining this change is too much open to casuals.

The irony.

I am 29, far from a "kid", I played invasion in the beginning when everything was overtuned to shit, being one shot wasn't hardcore and still isn't. I have a few hardcore characters and now a level 40 in the two week invasion league. The two are far different playstyles, I enjoy both from time to time. I don't play hardcore because its dead, and none of my guild mates wanted to run invasion, so I either play with my friends or not...

Either way invasion now, respect your elders and don't do drugs.

You are a kid 16 years old, Christmas morning, you see 2 presents under the tree, Ipod and new Bike ($300), Thanks mom and dad! I like them alot! :)

Now...

You are a kid 16 years old, Christmas morning, 1 present under the tree, OMFG NEW XBOX I LOVE YOU MOM I LOVE YOU DAD, PRAISE JESUS FOR HAVING A BIRTHDAY, OMG! WOOOT SUCH FEELS! ($300)

...Because either of those options aren't awesome compared to what many 16 year old kids get for Christmas...?

All I get from that is 'some kids are really spoiled these days'.

Not sure you're cut out for this whole metaphor business, man. Facts? You're good at those. Metaphors? Uhm...yeah. Maybe not.

I agree, I am trying to convey the feels into text, but am falling on my face. :(

I would rather have a single 4ex alphas drop now, than 2 2ex alphas later. The elated feeling of one dropping now will far surpass the combined elation from the 2 alphas separately.

So if they would have deployed it at the beginning of the new leagues where everyone Begins at Zero and the uniques before gets shifted to Standard(maybe even become legacy), you wouldn´t mind that much, would you?

Very true, especially if it was a stealth buff. However, the "big ticket" drops will still move with the economy, so even if I didn't "know" they were buffed, instead of being semi-excited over say a tabula dropping, now I am super-excited for an alphas. It is still going to be affected by value, and the value will be halved.

Right now alphas drops (4 ex) = 7/10 excitement, stealth buff (2 ex) = 3.5/10

The values even if not trading, often are affected by rarity.

Eventually, people would "know" they buffed them.

the rarity of certain items is still ridiculous
like they say 2 times 0 is still 0

dunno why you guys cry so much about item rarity buff
you still need to find those in super hard maps not everyone can farm

Now I understand your Point. I thought at first that it would be deployed when the leagues ends. It would have been better for everyone I guess. I personally hope that the artificial RNG about the Chance to get a 6L gets removed so 2h weapons gets as viable as 1h and dual wield. BUT if they do that, they should do it at the beginning of the new leauges and mention it 2-4 weeks before so everyone is prepared.

and that Maelstrom staff I forget it's name.

Taryn's Shiver... if only they'd make that affix '20% more cold damage', people would remember it's name.

I predict that Act 4 will be made entirely out of Heatshivers.

Prediction: people will still complain.

Well of course ,

would you stop complaining about a flooded basement if all the plumber did was stop the leak and called it a day? Last time I checked there would still be a foot of water down there and a bunch of furniture is going to smell of mold for a long time.


A source can be addressed but it is still only a part of a larger whole.


drops were a source of grief no doubt, but even in terms of the popular complaints its only probably in the top 5.



Even then most people wont really care as much about this as they think they will since the real gear wall in this game is the link system. You can get the best unique item in the world, but if you cant match your old links , then it really doesn't count .....

there are few unique items worth the links demanded by the level they drop in and most of those are only there because they are in slots that cap at 4l.

Still, it is a step in the right direction. That is a good thing.
