Should the next reset come early?

How many maps do you think you have done? Around 100 or much less? If you have done much less than 100 then your drop rate seems crazy high.

I play on SSF and I have done about 50 maps and I have gotten a exalt every 2 to 3 maps. It simply isn't enough to craft gear and also upgrade waystones.

SSF is really rough - if you don't get lucky with merchant inventory, you can't get gear upgrades. I got through the campaign using only magic items or ground drops and saved up all my exalts for crafting.

For early end game, crafting is next to useless even if you are only looking for a mid tier usable item, with a few T4 or higher rolls in the right suffix/affix.

If you need to run 100s of maps, clearing each within a few mins, to get enough currency for crafting then 1-button screen clearing builds are the only ones viable. Combos and meaningful combat doesn't work with these drop rates.

Game needs some serious balance adjustments in many many areas.

For SSF that's a valid point, with the rng of "crafting" (exalt slamming), less exalts would definitely hurt a lot.

I'd say I get 1-3 exalts per map, last night I had a boss drop 2 exalts and a chaos and I was pretty excited lol

How do you guys know how many maps you've done?

I've looted 153 exalts + 4 divs with 134k kills, I think I'm up to lv 12 atlas quest progression so I'd guess 75ish maps?

I know those stats don't mean a lot cuz some people pretty much jumped right to t15 partially juiced maps, whereas I ran a lot of blue t2-t5 maps but they'll get a lot better. Right now I'm upgrading t15 up to rare or using alch on white maps.

whats off is you do a 5 minute map and get a regal, whats off is you average 0.8 exalts per map with a sample size of 1000 maps

nothing makes me want to click my map device and kill monsters because i know with the statistics in my hands that i have experienced personally i will not have fun

if its like this full respect no hard feelings but its just not for me and a vast majority of others.

IF you're only getting 0.8 exalts per map, I def agree your strategy to running maps is pretty bad and you should improve it but GGG can't change how you choose to run your maps that's up to you.

I'm getting about 2 exalts per map for barely juiced maps, I can juice my map A LOT more but I've got to build my character stronger first, my gear's currently only worth a couple divs.

Loot feels different than 0.1

I remember farming the witch in the first zone and more often than not shed drop 1 rare item.

In 0.2 I farmed the quadrilla in act 3 and out of 10 or so kills only got 1 rare item. 2 of those kills he was wisp empowered (dropped only blues when empowered)

Yep I also started farming the witch, most excited i got this patch was in ACT I loot from a blue strongbox, which had 2x exalted and 1 regal orb.

But Jonathan said in his last interview the most important stat he looks at is concurrent player count, so I guess i will be taking a vacation from poe 2.

Watched the interview a few days ago after launch was kind a disaster to try to understand their direction. When I heard him say this I was sure that if things were not addressed meaningfully this week I would 100% not be logging into my account until, at earliest, we get 0.3.0

In 0.1 i got 10-12 exalts per yellow t-15 with a random Ire. And 4-5 divs drops in the wild every night.

Currently i had 1 div drop randomly in an unjuiced t-9 map in 70 hours. For past couple hours i ran yellow T-15 with one random Ire and 3 tablets in the tower and i barely get investment back from these maps. Maybe one Ex every 4 maps, granted other currencies are slightly more common in these maps. Some maps don't even drop a waystone on the last rare monster or the map boss. Rare monster often only blue currency.

Imho the loot drops are not even just bad i believe they are downright bugged because two days ago when i ran unjuiced T-8-10 maps i got 2-4 exalts every map and that's when i joked that i finally get enough currency that i would consider appropriate for mid campaign.

i have 123% rarity with over 1000 maps

i have dropped 12 divines and 800 exalts
that is 0.8 exalts per map

Seems about right.

Dropped a divine at act 5, then another just now at t2 (white one just to rush random nodes). I get about 0.5 exalts per map if lucky and I got 30% Rarity (can't get currency to buy gear with it, can't even think of having a usable build with LICH when having rarity on gear)

they need to take the feedback they got and come back strong with a real season with dopamine aka loot if they want their players back. I hope they learned from their mistakes from forcing a bad "vision"

I want them to do better I mean look at my support packs.... none that I can use in poe 2 but still

The only people who GAF about end game loot are the 1% of the players who spent all that time getting there.

I would wager the vast majority who do not even come to forums have no clue how the loot should look from Lvl 1 to Lvl Sweaty.

I have run a few characters as far as Act 2 Campaign and have seen exactly squat for loot drops after about level 15.

Sure I got a few (literally 3 items between 4 toons Lvl 1-25 up to Act 2) Uniques with 3-4 toons playing as high as a whopping Lvl 25...which is crap.

Sure I see some rares about 1 to 50 in terms of drops and most are crap or useless to my toon or stats.

The point for us filthy casuals is we don't care too much about crafting and if even during the first two acts of the campaign we are using level 5-10 rare/unique gear and hit lvl 25 in Act still wearing the same gear...then it's shit...plain and simple.

Why would I bother wanting to try and even finish the campaign much less reach "endgame loops" of gear hunting when I can already see...nothing much drops after a certain point in the campaign itself?

IDGAF about the "economy"...I'm here to loot and shoot..so far that's not happening at a level of reward to time spent playing at the campaign level.
