Good, rare items should be rare.
I think some of you guys are under estimating how rare these are lol. The drop value are already datamined. Basically doesnāt exist
Would be nice to see something new, at least for me anyway. Iāve had the same drops from level 60 to 90. 9 amulets, 7 rings, the rogue pants 6 times, and that damn thornās chest 5 times. Today I got Temerity for the first time which was the first new drop in 20 levels.
They should add way more uniques to the game for fun builds, even if they are trash and also buff droprate for all uniques to make them drop more. Uniques can not be traded so most will just be a trashdrop to boost your economy or give crafting materials.
One problem is that uniques also roll on its stats so you might get a complete garbage unique that is outshined by a rare item, even if you farmed 500+ hours to get that unique, and the next one might be even worseā¦
I have gotten some uniques but the amount diversity of uniques are laughable low because you know what it is when it drops because there is just like 1 unique for every category, most are also undertuned or nerfed to the ground for Barbarian, especially weapons, Fields of Crimson makes a 1000 damage bleed over 6 seconds on the ground, when you hit for hundreds of thousands of damageā¦
There is no trading of uniques in this game. D2 had an awful treasure class system (yes, I found everything in the game) with trading and PoE has trading in it with drops balanced around that. There is no reason for these to be this rare or even close to it. Whatever I find does not affect you and whatever you find does not affect me. This is a complete joke for drop rates on these items.
These were fun to play test with in the endgame beta and I was looking forward to finding one eventually to help boost my character performance even more.
Oh well, with Barb damage being atrocious outside of hoping for a shockwave to proc a critical strike, extremely rare lottery drop items, the awful itemization on gear, severe lack of inventory space, no search function in your inventory, endgame content providing a minor amount of experience boost, resists being garbage and so much more, I am beginning to start thinking why I even play this game.

If you do 1000+ MF runs you will be able to trade for basically whatever you need though (crazy rares/crafts/magics excluded ofc).
In D2 you farm to get stuff, trade up and eventually get your stuff. There is no trading of uniques in this game.
Itās because on Twitter they can get away with personal opinions without interfering with the companyās agenda. They canāt be honest on the forums.
Itās because portion of players with help of incompetent moderator team turned this forum into cancerous growth that no dev would ever want to touch.
They catch arguably more heat from Twitter crawlers, lol.
Them posting here would do nothing but add fuel to the fires, they definitely have visibility on most if not all of the posts here. Community members just compile positive and negative trends. They have analytics to grab buzzwords on both ends of the spectrum, how often certain words are used and during what time period. How many times the same words are used in a single post/thread/category, etc.
Millions upon millions lvl 85+ mob kills and only 6 so far. I guess you have better odds winning lottery jackpot in real life.
Seasons will be determined who gets to be lucky and use it well to climb leaderboards.

I find it hard to believe the average gamer is gonna run to Twitter to post they got a shako. The majority it seems, base on the forums, didnāt even know that arpg seasons involve starting from level one, which is discussed on twitter. They didnāt know season passes were for the season which is discussed on twitter. They donāt know about updates which are discussed on twitter. At this point I think the majority of this games players donāt use twitter
Its funny how levels donāt mean anything for 85% of the game then all of a sudden they do, weird how that works. This house sho gon crazy.

D2 was better where you can quickly level up and farm the best gear from the start if you can survive the fight. This gated āāGrind for hundreds of hoursāā and NOW you can farm the better items, is just sad gameplay. I am level 78 and to grind 4 more levels to get level 85 enemies in the world is just sad grinding because it means 4 levels where I basically only will get trash uniques if any. Enemies also scale up like crazy if you try to run higher dungeons to increase the levels, it is a waste of time if you are not insanely geared.

Kinda an odd design for sure. Should be tied to World Tier 4 and thatās it. If you can kill in World Tier 4 that should be enough to get you a chance at the drop.
Its another perk they just handed to groups and to me group play is antithetical to arpgs and more of an mmo mechanic/necessity.

Super rare Uniques are great IMO.
Keeps us on the hunt.
Being super rare is one thing. How many countless hours have people played at 85+? And only 2 confirmed shakosā¦just a tiny buff to give players hope would be nice.
Blizzard doesnāt read the forums, Twitter is the best way to give feedback to a human being at Blizzard. Twitter is the most effective way to embarrass them publicly. These forums are more of a containment than anything.
Perfect timing. I just hit 85. Iām gonna get them all.
