Item Changes in Path of Exile 2

Great update, guys! This will help a lot with the new player experience.

As someone how had no prior knowledge of the mechanics from playing POE 1, it was very frustating to struggle to kill bosses only to get underwhelming loot from them. As it were, you really nedded at least some rarity on your gear and that was not intuitive coming from other games - where the loot tends to be more scripted, so to speak. The chests also were a pain-point; after openning my first few rare chest, I came to the conclusion that most were not worth the time it took to walk up and open. Again, there was a huge gap between player expectation of what it meant for a chest to be "Magic"/"Rare" (i.e., dropping magic/rare loot) and what it meant in the context of POE (chests with better odds for desirable loot).

This difference in expectation (derived from playing other RPGs/ARPGs) versus POE specific nuances, in my opinion, sums up the issue some playes had with the loot system. Somethings are better of being clear cut and easy to understand from the get-go. I feel like the changes still preserve the core differences that make POEs version of a loot system unique and interesting, while making openning chests and deafeting bosses more rewarding for everyone .

Thanks GGG - keep pushing!

Please put Hideout Trade Vendor on your priority list.
The state of trade has been a long standing issue but can be addressed with this simple implementation. Trade friction can still exist but this solution solves most of the interaction/afk/scam issues:

In practice:
1. We put items into vendor and price them - just like the current way with public stash tabs

2. Buyer finds item from Trade site and messages Seller. Seller Invites to Hideout (no need to leave map or change the party)

3. Buyer opens Hideout Trade Vendor and buys whatever they want at their convenience

4. Currency appears in a sold tab to collect later. Optional automated message to notify seller a trade occurred.


Hey, they might even buy other stuff from your vendor too - an extra fun experience for everyone.

why overengineer it... just add an auction house like many games have done

list for a price, receive the currency, end

I don't like the trade system, but I don't think the Hideout Trade Vendor is the solution.

To me, the obvious solution would be to make trades instant. If you list it for a price, and someone buys it, it should be gone from your stash. That would take away all the people that under price items to run the market down, and those that price things and never respond. If they priced it, someone could buy it. You would have a more efficient market system and slowly prices would move closer to value.

The ONLY downside, would be that people that abuse the trade system could abuse it less.

please put wasd in poe 1 and graphics of poe 2, revert poe 2 to nothing and continue update poe 1, its more fun and better

Trying to fix this mess is like watering a desert.
What you should be doing is rolling everything back to how it was in patch 0.1 — literally all of it.
Then you can start improving the broken parts, balancing loot, and fixing what actually needs to be fixed.

Right now, 90% of the game’s mechanics are broken and useless.
You’re not going to fix the disaster you created with a couple of cute little loot tweaks.
This needs a full reset — not another coat of paint on a collapsing building.


From 280k to 60k within 1 month. Great job GGG, keep your vision till 2k.

The game is great for an early access, and these changes are taking it into the right direction. Its funny to see these people crying and complaining saying the game is dead. 100% of them are no-lifers with hundreds of game hours per week. [Removed by Support]

TY GGG now this is awesome! Was taking a break from POE but this totally sounds amazing especially how the changes are being done.

Excited to actually play again.

But then I read again and rarity on gear is now garbage? Hmmmm sounding bait and switch but will see if it is just the same no Div ever game play.

"For example, when a Wisp has possessed a monster, it gives the monster +2 drops and 300% more Monster Item Rarity. The rarity is further increased by each monster that the wisp affected as you were chasing it. This should in theory result in noticeably better item drops, but in practice it doesn't feel meaningful enough."

So my killing all the adds as I follow the Wisp to the Rare it spawns has been shooting me in the foot this whole time?

Would have been a nice factoid to know when chasing Wisps. SMH
