Why is there no loot?

[TurielD]

With only having reached lvl20 so far, I found 2 of my good pieces of gear from a vendor. That never happened to me in PoE1.

I sold my belt to be able to afford one of them before his stock reset, only a few hours later realising that I just... never found another belt. I had to buy one from the vendor with gold.

Where's the loot? I always enjoyed picking through loot in ARPGs, I know POE1 needed filters to get rid of all the useless junk loot, but this feels like an extreme correction.

Because it's not an aRPG but Souls-like game where the loot is quite limited

Ngl I would like to have at least 1 random yellow drop when I kill a boss. Minions or chests idc but bosses should give just a tiny bit more.

Just did the mastodon tusk thing in act 2 and I got myself some gold and blue laced boots. As a sorc. That's like 38 gold identified. I don't mind crafting ♥♥♥♥ myself or buying from vendors, but how do I buy from vendors when the gold isn't coming in the amount needed.

Tonns of loot its just not 10Xtonns wich everyone is used to. instead of getting a new item every lvl you here take larger leaps in gear power and you can feel it in the gameplay. Most like feeling the powerspikes after a little bit of suffering ;;)

I had problems until I really made use of disenchantimg things. Helped so much

This is the one area I feel like POE 2 is failing imo. The loot progression is close to non-existent, the emphasis is more on the crafting, which is fine for later/end-game but the fun of regular drops and getting upgrades isn't there. Currency drops don't feel rewarding.

I just hear Zizaran state that

a) he liked that the good loot drops feel more special now because they are rarer.
b) Dislikes that fact that he believes they are still a little too rare.

For many players a key staple features of these type of ARPGs are loot drops. The lack of loot will no doubt bother many new players.

I am sure the drop rate is one of the many things that will be tweaked endlessy in early access.

When we ask for more loot, we don't say "We wan't legendaries at every boss", but a least a little more shiny stuff, like more yellow stuff.

There's loot. You pick orbs, then you pick a good socketed superior white base item, you apply orbs and roll your perfect rare item of dreams (or not).

I get a lot of loot. I always port back to sell, disentchant and put stuff for other classes in the stash. My two characters probably have around 3 yellows on level 11/12.
For example, if you do Feylinn for Finn you can get an item after you defeated the boss and inspect the ritual site. It costs tribute points but you should have some and maybe there is a good item that you can use.

I love Grim Dawn but there's way too much loot there at times. I prefer less loot and let certain items to be more unique.

Sure, there are some places that needs some re-balancing, absolutely, but all in all I like how you're not swimming in loot either.

becouse game is grind crap.

I don't think the gear drops is the problem, I think it's orbs. If we have more abilities to craft more often, this would be less of an issue

Yes, it currently is... and will continue to be going forward because GGG designed an ARPG with extremely poor loot drops... yay...

ARPG = loot. This game has no loot. I don't know wtf they were thinking because it's crazy how bad the loot is in this game right now. It doesn't feel good to play for hours and hours, kill thousands of mobs and multiple bosses and get absolutely nothing for your trouble.

People are going to push back on this take because their currently in their love fest with the new game, but damn it's bad. The single biggest problem with this game right now is the absolute dearth of decent drops. By far the worst of any ARPG to date.

You guys only complaining about the loot, because you dont understand the valueable items the game is dropping for you.
