Item Levels Need Improvement

[Pokelot]

Hello, I've played the game for quite a while and have mostly enjoyed my time with it but there is a glaring issue with the level of items that drop. Throughout my game experience most of the items that drop are several levels below my current level and the stats on them are still quite low. When I'm level 40+ I'm still seeing a lot of items that only require level 20 and the stat increases are very tiny...like 2% increase or +1 increase..it just makes 99% of the loot on my screen completely useless. I think this aspect of the game needs improvement and items should be closer to my level more often and provide meaningful stats.

Also many of the uniques and set items I've found have been somewhat disappointing. I wish they would have more interesting effects and maybe even completely change up my play-style and not just be regular items with slightly boosted stats and sometimes even negative stats..

Thanks :) Otherwise I'm enjoying mindlessly slaying hundreds of mobs.

Item levels are based on map levels. If they drop to low then odds are that you are over leveld for the map you are on. Secondly the game has one of the best lootfilters in any ARPG out there. Use it.. Filter out low tier mods and nower itemlevels and you wont have to look through all the crap that dropps... I use a super strict lootfilter so i know that 100% of the drops i see are either upgrades or perfect bases for crafting.

If over leveling is the case then that is also a problem. I haven't been grinding mobs or anything, just following the story and doing side quests as normal and items significantly below my level still drop.

There should be around 10 levels between different bases. So items should comonly drop between your level and 10 levels lower than you with some random lower level items dropping now and then. I have played every single class to lvl 70-100 and this has been my experience every single time.. so if it is different for you, you either exagerate the level discepansy or you are overleveld for the area you are in. When it comes to the afixes on items, it is intended that you use the crafting system. Shatter stuff with afixes you need and then when you find a good base craft those afixes onto that item. The odds of you finding an item with a tier total of 15+ with all afixes you need is probably less then a million to one. You are meant to be crafting.

I'm in Farwood at level 47 at the moment. I commonly see level 30 and even level 8 items on the map, I think some work could be done to improve that. If anything item levels shouldn't be based on maps nor should enemy levels, they should both scale based on player level to avoid situations like this. I have been crafting and get that it's important but I shouldn't be completely breaking items and creating ones that are appropriate for my level because nothing my level is dropping normally. I love the game, but it's still beta and it's not perfect already, some improvement could be made here.
