Path of Exile 2 - This Magic Finding Drones Situation is Crazy...

[@ThunderJunkOC]

I need Rhykker to tell me more about these drones.

[@dusttodust915]

same, this is the first i'm hearing about it. At first I thought they were talking about the the fire skulls you can bring out using fire spells. Or is it the literal drones flying all around SF and I think Oklahoma.

[@BelimaiSykes]

It kind of feels like the devs released the early access, went on vacation and then everything caught fire.

[@MaxinRudy]

@@BelimaiSykes yeah, that's exactly what happened. They releases last patch and Said they would take some time during the holidays. Expect then to return next week and do some statemants, with patch in 2-3 weeks.

[@Frostylaroo]

Hell yea!!! Dude thank you so much for watching and reacting, I really do love it and appreciate it my dude!!!

[@rurikhan]

Bro, your content is legendary. You deserve way more subs, can’t wait to see your next one. The timing of the Rhykker clips was flawless.

[@theSodMonster]

I would prefer one of 2 things. 1. remove magic find and buff drop rate 2. remove magic find from the normal 6 gear modifers and make it a separate modifier stat you can get on each piece of gear that you can roll using a new currency (lucky orb?) that drops from enemies like any other orb.

[@bigimportantman1544]

They should just make ”magic find” a passive buff that ramps up to a certain point as you kill more enemies without dying. It would also solve the issue with reckless gameplay being the optimal strategy without overtly punishing players every time they die.

[@cwickwitted]

Yeah, but us with ballsacks play HC... so, yeah.. wtf now? We just find everything by Act 3, stash the gear overflow, then be able to speed progress into mid+ late game without any effort on death?

[@Zabooooooo6]

simple fix i think : put all those magic find modifyers on the map skill tree perks that way everyone have access to them , and at the same time builds are not being compromised for it

[@spinefear4832]

Respect to Frosty for an great video. Real nice reaction video Ruri, looks like you had some fun

[@Akrymir]

If you choose to not engage with MF you are basically saying I am playing a trade character and opting out of trade, or a SSF and never finding the items needed to progress. Opting out of MF means to opt out of progression in a game entirely designed around progression... or basically "play the game w/out really playing the game". MF's very nature forces it to become the central mechanic for ARPGs and is why it shouldn't exist.

[@wacktastic1]

Sp youre telling me i have zero chance on finding greater and perfect jewellers orbs cause I choose to not have any magic find on my gear? Well, that sucks.

[@joshuaquanstrom370]

@@wacktastic1 I have 110% and have never found a perfect, one greater only

[@Tasty_Pastry]

[@cho8clit]

no

[@kookieslayer]

Magic find should not be there, at all. Like someone else said in the comments, it screws up the balance of the game. It's like "convenience" MTX, they inherently force the devs to give less to they are worth something. Magic find does the same, you need to lower the drop rates, so MF is actually useful. GGG, Get rid of it! Please...

[@coquifrog]

That grunting barbarian magic finder was no joke dude.

[@dusttodust915]

I've only found two pieces of equipment that had magic find on it and that was in the first 10yrs of playing and haven't seen magic find on gear since. Probably would also explain why I've only found one jewel since I've started.

[@BelimaiSykes]

The people saying there's nothing wrong are displaying what I like to call toxic positivity.

[@kiluatv]

What people forget, big time, is that magic find, fuck the balance of the game. Because during the story you get nearly no currencies to make your character work, where in the endgame you start finally to get more rare, more currencies and you double down with magic find. Without magic find affecting the currency drop, GGG would have to raise the base drop of currencies. Then you would have a more smoother time during the story and the same experience in endgame.

[@higherlearning9386]

Yeah I did my first play through on launch with not 1 divine drop in the campaign. I’m now leveling a new char with about 80% mf and I already found 5 divines and I just got to act 2 cruel

[@Diehard40kfan]

Raising the base drop would be preferable. Stacking Rarity gear induces too much of a wealth gap between players who get Rarity gear early and those that get it late or not at all because it's value becomes higher than new players can afford. You're basically forcing all new/casual players into SSF in the long term.

"the drops in this game sucks" "you need to git gud, I am 60 hours in and with 200% rarity I am swimming in rare drops"

[@jugaming3808]

​@IsaacChoo88 120% is the soft cap on rarity and you can get that on 2-3 items.

[@grantlawrence4600]

One day, maybe, the developers will finally realize people want to actually play the game and not Market Simulator. Buff the drops rates and remove trading or make more modes without a market.

[@dracusdaiarr1788]

Here is my take. They should do what GW2 did. They made magic find account bound that you level once but I takes a while.

[@kmurphy0620]

Easy solution is to remove it from all gear, and passively give everyone 60-100% increased rarity passively.

"We nerfing trigger gem so that people wouldn't feel like they won't have any other choice but to play that gem" - GGG

[@hanky-king5866]

This is how I see it. For me I play on console. So I really don’t want to use the trading thing. Also since I can’t play a lot I would like having a character that can find more items faster so I can play and gear up other characters easier In one season. It’s like kinda having a character good for clearing stages and having a character for bossing endgame. So I feel like it’s good for people that wanna make different builds that don’t have a lot of time to play.

[@reganCZ]

Empyrion was runnning maps with his 6player team the SECOND day after PoE2 release. Insane.

[@Diehard40kfan]

He and his team are insane. They should be hired to work for GGG as game breakers, they're so good at it.

[@eggheadmu]

I think the solution is so simple its dumb. Make Rarity affect only item drops, not currency, so the economy doesn't get inflated like the Zimbabwe dollar, and increase the base drop rate of all currency. I still don't understand how I'm supposed to "experiment" as I level my character, crafting pieces of gear as you approach the endgame, when in 6 acts you get maybe 5 exalts, 10 if you're mega-lucky. (even with the buffs). That is, unless you use rarity, then you might get 30... This is obviously not correctly balanced, at least not yet.

[@murderycatdoll1380]

Lol Ruhri full hearted laughs are so contagious 😂❤ Hope u all have a great start to 2025 🎉

[@shmick19]

bro da drones got into ma gayme!!

[@BuzzaB77]

even outside of trade though, I was initially hyped on POE2 because they sold us the dream of "you will be picking up gear and crafing often, multiple exalts will be dropping in act 1 even" meanwhile what actually happened was I reached maps with the same crap amulet I found in act 1 etc, because i got 1 single exalt in act 1, and no where near enough regals to attempt multiple rare crafts anyway, and the base gear drops were so few there was nothing to craft on either!!!! Also I had no gold to buy the good stuff of vendors because the only way to get regals was to disenchant every rare you find!!! I disregarded rarity becuase in poe1 it just a fluff stat unless you properly invested , but now even in SSF with just 60-70% on my current character it's starting to feel like the game they sold me on.

[@goodthings7317]

Rarity isn’t the problem. It’s the fact that rarity affects the games currency drops. Just have it drop items you can equip and not currency

[@TheRockemsockm]

@goodthings7317 Rarity has no place in the game. It removes the point of every build that can't afford to run it and invalidates all gear without it. It's a relic of single player days when D2 had no end game.

[@goodthings7317]

@ how does it invalidate all other gear if you remove currencies? And how do you change the drop values as I level up? I would rather have the ability to adjust what type of gear drops. Why do I want white items at endgame? So I can waste my time by exalting it to have shit stats? I’d rather just have it drop rares than the lottery slot machine of what PoE2 calls crafting. Rarity doesn’t build power it actually does the opposite as it doesn’t make you crit more or hit harder or move faster or cast/attack faster. Like I said the only issue is that it affects the trade currency of the game.

[@kmurphy0620]

False, it enabled progress of gaining wealth on a level other stats cannot. This corners you to play builds with a high level of it or you are forfeiting too much potential progress. If this stat was limited to only a few pieces of gear those pieces of gear would have rarity become mandatory, and all gear without it would be obsolete. What we currently have is that on all gear.

[@goodthings7317]

@ you didn’t read that I said, take currency away and it fixes the problem

[@kmurphy0620]

​@@goodthings7317it doesn't make a big enough of a difference. It still turns the game into running a class only because you can get drops where others cannot, and get items worth buying with the currency. How about the game being powerful instead of balancing wealth gain against it?

[@victorsos100]

RARITY GANG 4 LIFE!!!! AND DRONES GANG!!!

[@Vexi11uM]

23:00 totally agreed. I run 0 MG on my titan. I didnt know about mf being so strong at all. And at level 70 i had a mace lvl 44. Because i just would find a better mace. Even maces dropped at maps had worse base and had some shitty rills on them. Also i didnt have enough orbs to just slap on any potential maces. So ofc im upset. Basically, no mf, no progress for me at that point.

[@Peanutfiendsblog]

There is nothing wrong with a 100ish soft cap on rarity. Almost every build can afford to put some on their gear. Removing it would be stupid. If anything make the diminishing returns even harsher so the max you can even hope to get would be 175. It's not as crazy as everyone is saying. You can drop divines just fine with like 75 rarity and a good clear speed and make plenty of currency.

[@Yikum24]

Seems to me that if rarity find was only in SSF then this would be the best situation.

[@cheshirecat6519]

Cool! Now that the “Junky I play 18 hours a day Streamers” have collected all the benefit of Magic find GGG are going to nerf the f* out of it and normal people able to play even 3-4 hours a day are going to struggle even more, TY guys!

What if SSF would give you MF baseline for items. You cant trade but you get "free MF" for your finds. Would be a good compromise !

[@JohnnyNocturne]

imagine playing a game and then not watching any youtube videos and not even being aware of all these controversies that are essential to the enjoyment of the game

[@BladeOfMercy42]

It's not that black and white on the shooting yourself in the foot discussion. To give an example - I'd never use the heavybowgun and lightbowgun strats for quicker farm in MHW/I, because I don't enjoy playing those weapons and using cheesy strats. Simply hunting the monster with a weapon I like is the most fun part in that game for me. But the game is fundamentally different and that particular case is fundamentally different to PoE2 and rarity. In PoE 2 i absolutely agree that not using rarity feels awful and must be changed in some way.

[@darkabede8214]

I have not been using rarity, and it is hard! my infernilist minion is struggling at level 86 t14 maps, im on the market place looking for better items more than crafting because noting is dropping when i have to cater for resistance and minion power, spirit, where do i get rarity without handicapping myself resouces are slim, i found a perfect jewel and sold it for 2 divines so that i could sell one divine and use that currency for gear. i love the minion but im about to reroll monk or mercenary or sorceress.

[@joshthewolf8330]

Streamer: I can play all day, I get the currency and gear I want because rarity is so good! Now quick take it out befor the casual players catch up! Cas player: 2 weeks in ) man this campaign is great! Oh wow my first exalt!

[@icedaemon64]

I dont get the logic behind "Im not not going to use it because it'd be shooting myself in the foot..." So Id rather it be removed so nobody can use it 🤷🏾‍♂️. I can see potential impact for traders, but removing is a net loss for SSF imho

dude that video was made for you! Why do i play arpg? To balance fun and getting stronger. For example I could have way more power so to say to stick with one character and just play the end game. I however have fully completed campaing on witch necromancer and lightning arrow archer which later I enjoy way more. I believe if I get super high gear and level the necromancer will get so much better where I expect my ranger to fall off late late game. Now I am playing sorcerer and after every level I go check every chapter shop for quality and sockets. Which I sell to players. I guess this game has dailies too!

[@jakkrit6910]

it not about style anymore at this point. the person who said "ัyou can just not using it" don't understand how this work. imgine you work for 10 dollar a day but food price rise by 10 time that. how do you sustain that? the only way out is follow the trend and use it. that why people are complaining.

It's designed to be a tradeoff. Which is nice. The problem is that some builds are REALLY strong. So strong they can afford to reduce their power by replacing it with magic find.

[@Diehard40kfan]

There's no trade off. Your currency per hour is significantly with Rarity than with damage no matter the build. Yes some builds are faster than other builds, but EVERY build will make more currency with Rarity than without, as long as they can clear the content.

Just wsnna point out that Rarity as a stat is most likely bugged as hell in terms of how it appears on gear. A hat dropped wity 25% rarity on it as a 6 attribute Rare. Hit Alt to see what Tier that roll was and was kinda shocked to see that Rarity had rolled twice and was merged in thw default view. Two diffierent instances of Rarity that actually put the item at 7 Attributes.

[@bartoszmisztal6861]

@@lyotesharaia4829 rarity can roll both as a prefix and as a suffix. This way you can get max 60% (2x30) on specific gear pieces. I’m not sure about the 7 affix thing though. Most likely one of those was a hybrid affix (like armour/health).

[@lyotesharaia4829]

@bartoszmisztal6861 that's probably what happened then, as I'm seeing 2 different lines for Rarity bonus in the detail view but they get combined into a single 25% stat line in the standard view. That just makes it extra stupid then. Bleh. Just delete the stat T_T

[@mintparfait]

Usually, I find those "just dont use it, bro" people really dumb. But in this case, I can't help but think no they're right, though 😂. I literally didn't even know or care about item rarity before content creators started yapping about it. My gear was average, and I was having more fun. Hyper-optimising the fun out of your game is as much of a problem as the stat itself here. Stop watching these content creators and enjoy the game in blissful ignorance. What's the point of blindly following meta to have less fun quicker. It's too late for me now, but maybe some of you can still turn back 😅

[@odotawaissaku3755]

In single player, that’s fine. But the issue is a lot of PoE is also trading and economy, so it affects you whether you use it or not

​@odotawaissaku3755 Yeah, that's fair, I find any multiplayer interaction in these super immersion breaking. I always forget trading exists. So it's never going to affect me. To be clear.

[@odotawaissaku3755]

IIR - Increased Item Rarity. Its a stat that does what it says. It makes items have a chance to drop a higher rarity (magic, rare, or unique) instead of just a white item, but that also affects currency items in PoE2. It didn’t affect currency in PoE1. So people using it are getting many more exalts, regals, divines, etc

[@_Garm_]

either way wont work as long there is RL money involved, chinese gold farmers will take control over the auction site and create an inflation to earn more. a solution remove auctions and let people have a good build system to build their own "Brown" items .. also keeping the magic find would not be a proble.

[@rurikhan]

The difference is the ease of fixing MF vs the ease of balancing every class in the game.

[@PROdotes]

@@rurikhan I agree, but I'm mostly coming at it from a "you must do this cause it's the best way" angle... People are not doing it cause it's the "best way", people are doing it cause loot is fun... because if people were just doing something because it's the "most optimal" then most people would be playing 1 build. And that's the problem with MF in games like poe... there's no down side, only an up side... MF needs to cost you something, but when bosses die in 5 seconds, there is no down side if you take MF, now the boss drops 3 times the loot but dies in 6 seconds. While MF is easier to fix, MF isn't the issue... the game is... sorry for the rant :)

The reason your argument is stupid is because you're not competing with anyone here. This is not a pvp game your progress doesn't matter to anyone but you. They should NOT remove this without buffing item drops to equal baseline like 100% extra rarity.
