because the games drop rates are balanced around trading, the game is functionally unplayabe SSF unless you are willing to put hundreds of hours into it

how does buying an item from another player somehow make you want to spend MORE time in the game then finding it does?

option 1: i want the item, i go through the challanges to find it, i find it, i upgrade it, time effort and fun have gone into making my hcaracter better

option 2: i want the item, i buy it.........

how the f**k does option 2 make you play the game longer, when it MASSIVLY shortens the time it takes to progress your character

poes loot experience is a pile of absolute ass, i have 1600+ hours in the game, its dreadfull

if you want poe, f**k off back to poe, let the better game stay better, im genuinly fed up with people like you who want to change LE for the worse because its not exactly the ...

People quit early if they aren't getting what they want. But if they're having fun, they play for a long time. There's a reason why Harvest and Ritual league had the best long-term retention tails in PoE's history: players could get the items they wanted and have fun playing the fun part of the game.

It sounds promising, although I'm sure we're not going to hear devs weigh in on this anytime soon in a definitive way, other than a possible, "we're not changing anything for 0.9 but are looking at improvements for the item gifting system".

Would feel pretty shitty if they weren't dropping for you.

That is a fantastic idea. Would you be attempting to have this be a built-in feature with the current filter system, or would it be more of a "set up a filter that includes items your friends would want"?

As an idea, having the ability to set up a party-wide loot filter, that you could add in everyone's individual filters to (perhaps adding an icon in the item's label?) Could work to reduce "is this showing for me or buddy #3? I'm definitely no developer so I have no idea of the implications with that, or if it's just rehashing exactly what you said, but I'm really excited either way. Love what you guys are doing, love the interaction with the community.

For what it's worth, I prefer instanced loot. My friends (only play with them) are always currency hoovers in POE, and then are astounded to learn I'm broke in the game. Instanced is better, imho. I don't mind scanning for items that could make my friend perform better, just adds that extra touch of something when they drop something for me!

In the future, would you consider something similar to Borderlands 3's instanced/non-instanced loot system, presuming you're familiar with that? The idea being that when making the party, the party leader can choose between instanced loot/gifting for playing with pubs, or non-instanced loot for playing with friends, with a rarity or quantity bonus to make up for the fact that you'd be dropping 1/(# of party members) the amount of loot.

Only reason I ask is that BL3's implementation of it seems like the closest analogue to your guys' vision of being able to share loot with your friends or other randoms without creating a full blown trade economy.

Could we get an option for shared loot! It’s industry standard to have options and it makes playing with friends so tedious to have to keep checking with each other.

are you sure about that ?for example on Maelstrom (primalist) it shows lightning greyed out even tho i have all the lightning nodes on it; or earthquake (shaman) shows lightning in full colors even with Cataclysm that should convert all damage to fire

thats why i askeed about statuses and added damage

I corrected this part and as many grammar as I could see. I had to work hard now that a member of EHG took notice of me haha.

Totally right. Corrected.

The full quote, if it helps Mike, from the Multiplayer Dev Q&A with Zizaran stream:

Q: What do you think about gear upgrades? I feel like items other than build enabling unique’s have too little impact on survivability and damage. You deal similar damage naked and fully geared with the huge damage multipliers coming from skill trees. Due to this you cap out fast and the urge to min/max is not as strong as it could be.

Dan: Yeah, that one’s a really interesting question and anyone who kind of knows our community has seen a popular video by Lizard_IRL about gear in our game. For us, we definitely want to shift some power from passive trees and onto items again. We want to kind of consolidate some item modifiers so that they’re offered in fewer spots. We don’t want to aim for gear to be as high of a portion of your total power of build customization as other games though. Some of that is actually quite intended but we do...

I don't want to fight but the developers agreed with the 1st video being general and not build specific. I was just wondering about what if any further info was out there. Like I quoted them directly but those are vague terms, and it has been a hot minute.

They aren't releasing with a season, that's after 1.0. At least from what I've seen. They definitely said 0.9 chars are moving to offline on release when asked in one stream. 1.0 will be the start of standard.
