after 150 hours and two characters the Loot just sucks

[Skyman100]

I have not been excited a single time when picking up loot or crafting. Once I got to maps I have not once got or crafted gear that I liked enough to use. Everything I have equipped was traded for. This makes the game feel like all I do is grind currency then go to the trade website to shop. The gameplay and builds are great but the progression and loot is terrible. I was really trying to force myself to push through it but even with 120% MF it is still just boring to pick loot up in a game all about cool builds and loot. I guess its break time and wait for updates.

Yup, needs a ton of work. Rares suck, divine drops suck, economy is completely out of control for average players, crafting is oversimplified RNG-based trash.

I have zero desire to continue picking up and identifying rares. Haven't found anything even remotely interesting in 150+ hours of T15 maps.

yep its really unfortunate because the rest of the game is really fun but the loot chase is just not there at all.

Yea, I pretty much just stopped crafting all together. My loot filter is set to identify very specific gear pieces dropped at rare quality at the unbeliveably slim chance I can get an upgrade.. otherwise I see nothing except those and currencies. I stopped looking for bases, simply because I just got tired of burning mats and not getting anything I want.

The randomized crafting is terrible, especially since I have only had like.. 3 greater essences and 2 omens in 250+ hours, none were even remotely good for my build. So if there is a "targeted crafting system" I don't see it.

Much as I love the game, the economy is screwed, and I have no idea how people are getting these juicers in Standard, let alone SSF, because I have yet to see anything remotely close to the gear I buy off the market drop or crafted.

Even trading is impossible. How can you trade when any good item costs no less than 5 divine orbs and you never get divine orbs unless you already have an uber endgame build to farm high tier maps?

For me to even get a good bow it cost no less than 50 divine orbs lmao. how the hell am i going to afford that when i cant get to high tier maps without getting one shot by almost everything lol

[robruckus65]

I've gotten a few really decent items for characters I have. They are sadly few and far between and involve getting lucky with slamming orbs on stuff. The gamble merchant can also give some decent items as well just costs insane amounts of gold.

If you need a 50 divine bow to "get to T15 maps" then the problem is with you and / or your build. Not the game. Especially with you playing one of the easiest archetypes in the game - ranged.

yes if i like other people run maps with zero things on it i can get to t15 but thats boring. i run good maps even on low tier maps which clearly have insane nerfs to your character and until uber end game you cant just simply one shot everything unless you have a 50 divine orb bow... so whatever you think is the "easiest" is only due to an obvious 50 divine orb bow lmao

i'm doing juiced t15 with a bow worth about a div, man has a point maybe you should listen a bit, if you are expecting to be decked out in BIS gear by beginning of maps, this is generally not how poe works, in any of it's renditions.

agreed.. it feels like chore now i would rather play something else till full version releases im on third character and im not enjoying the grind at all. first 2 i did though.

i run juiced t15 maps with my buddy and some i die some i dont. the issue is the fact no one can afford anything worth anything in the game unless they already have an uber end game build lmao. the only reason my buddy or anyone is as far as they are is either sheer gameplay hours like you who has almost 400 hours already lmao or people who abused the market when the "loot rarity" trash was discovered. I can attest if you do not have a 50 divine orb bow or close to it at right nows market you are not running through maps clearing out absolutely everything almost everytime. youre 100% dying more times than youre not.

i enjoy the game and characters. i have four characters through to end game and two in mid 80s and both builds have nowhere near one piece of meta gear lmao the only thing that isnt fun is almost every build using the same abilities

i just did the math... one month has like 744 hours and you have 361 hours... you literally play 12 hours a day and act like people who play casually are going to play like you lmao also i solo'd to t8 maps in my playthrough and run t15 maps with my homie that plays who in fact has a 50 divine orb bow. i promise you no one besides other people who play 12 hours a day think like you.

Then how can I clear T15+2 and T16+2 maps with this unoptimized mess of a build using a crossbow from Cruel?

Now, does the crossbow have sick rolls? Yes, but the base is trash and you can get almost 50% higher DPS Elite Bombard Crossbows for a Divine. For 6 Divines I could get a crossbow with DOUBLE the DPS. The entire build is probably costs less than half of that.

Can this build even touch T16+2 Breaches, Rituals and juiced bosses? Hell naww.
Was it easy and super fun to do the T16? Not really, but I could clean up the build and do better.

Your issues is not lacking 50 Divines to buy a bow with nutty rolls. Your issue is seated right between your screen and chair.

Go fix your build, improve your gameplay and do better.

All you do is keep making excuses instead of gitting gud after people clearly more competent than you tell you that the issue is not with gear or the game, but with whatever atrocities you have done to your character and your ability to play the game. This is just sad...

"improve gameplay" you mean waste time in an overinflated market or abuse "loot rarirty" to hopefully get one good rolled item like you? how many hours gameplay do you have?
