Path of Exile 2 | WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?! | Stop Blaming Rarity

[@trancehuman1063]

Those defending rarity in the game fail to address the issue that certain specific builds with light gear requirements can push up to 600% rarity. And other builds, most builds, would struggle to hit 200%. Maybe it's just pure coincidence, but those builds that can fit the rarity in also happen to dominate the top player rankings. Obviously the better builds will naturally rise to the top but when a couple builds can completely run away with currency and the rest cannot hope to keep up that's an issue. Seems those who are fine with rarity are also fine with every single player having to play spark archmage to farm the game so they can afford to buy gear on the character they do want to play. That's not a game, that's a damned job. When there's no divine sink in place to drain the economy of wealth then runaway inflation makes it impossible for anyone who didn't hit 90 in the first week or reroll quickly to spark archmage to catch up. The price of divines is going up exponentially each day. What exalts you can earn on a character with 150% rarity in a full day of gaming barely covers the inflation on the cost of a divine from the day before. It's not sustainable. Doesn't matter how good it feels to be one of those players who sits at the top of the market. When players get sick of being unable to upgrade they wil quit. And any game that loses it's playerbase to things like this will not get it back. Idiots think PoE 2 can survive with whoever of the PoE 1 playerbases sticks with it. It can't. GGG will have leveraged a lot of investment and capitol to build this game and they need it to be successful or they may go under with the rest of them. The problem IS the rarity, because it's only accessible to a handful of the classes/builds. And that means either everyone has to play those or they're the only ones who can afford the items that they themselves are inflating by turb-charging currency farming. The first exodus from D4 happened because people couldn't get end game gear to upgrade their characters.

[@Sync_Oh]

You are correct in some cases, and also an issue i meant to touch on. You should have to sacrifice to run MF. No build should have 150+ Rarity and be able to beat the pinnacle bosses in any real capacity. But that is a problem with a few builds, not rarity inherently. So do you believe those builds that can have massive rarity and destroy everything in the game should be left alone and they remove rarity? Is that your solution? And the problem with gearing up endgame in d4 was that end game items were trash... good ones didn't exist. d4 had some of the worst end game itemization of any ARPG ever

[@Snookenas]

@@Sync_Oh I would disagree. Any build, and they are not a few, that are not using specific uniques or atleast very few can run 150%+ rarity easily and how overtuned it is makes it mandatory. I don't see how adjusting gems/items(essentially nerfing builds) that can impact other stuff would be a better idea then tuning down rarity?(not remove) Maybe not even tuning it down is necessary but rather remove currency drops from being affected by rarity. I'll admit that I'm a casual and dont have the time to put in more then 3-4hrs a day and I've hit a literal brick wall with gearing as rarity now is mandatory and even though I have 160+ rarity I can not keep up with the inflation of divines.

[@evindtv]

You can't double how fast you can clear a map, but you can double the loot from a map with rarity

U can 100% more than double your speed clearing... Just look up a video empyrian using or one of those guys using temporalis body armour with blink... it might be the fastest path build ever

[@mrchill530]

You must be new bro, you can absolutely double, triple or even quadruple your clear speed! There are so many ways to make an absurd amount of currency with out even touching magic find.

[@JtotheDoubleL]

this is demonstrably false. imagine thinking rarity increases quantity of loot. All it does is raise the floor and make loot more consistent. Someone running maps in 2 mins with 0% rarity and 100% inc. quant is going to make magnitudes more currency than someone running maps in 4 mins with 500% rarity and 0% inc. quant. This has been proven time and time again in poe 1 and its happening again in poe 2 but liars and morons are brainwashing you people into thinking rarity is the devil and must be removed. News flash, if GGG remove rarity from gear, nothing will change. People who know what they are doing will still drop divines and people who thought rarity was the reason will suddenly drop absolutely nothing and continue to be locked out of the economy.

Whether it's been exaggerated or not, it's still a problem. It also feels like the "issue of the week" keeps shifting. Week one was about loot drops, week two focused on map difficulty and trials, week three was about rarity, and now it's about both rarity and finding citadels.

[@dr.RinseRepeat]

People are really forgetting that GGG wants longevity on these aspects of the game. They didn't want half a million people to go out and destroy the game in 2 weeks while they were on christmas holidays.. This should be clear, things were supposed to take longer in poe2. Man oh man ... I love access to rarity on gear. Especially because it affects currency. I typically make 2 -4 builds a league, I've only ever league started the same build twice in a row. I have played since 2013, played all the diablos as a kid and d3 as a sad adult. Getting that MF feeling is great, you can feel the increase in drops when you slot rarity into gear, its AWESOME. It isn't necessary for every single item to have rarity, it's necessary for those items to have Defences, Resists, offensive bonuses. Once you build those and you are functioning, then slotting in rarity is the kicker. In PoE1 rarity was a buildmeta on its own. PoE2 gave it to everyone to add in as much as they could manage. If the problem is some classes have an advantage here. it is indicative that the classes innate defences are too high, or every other class is too low, or they have too much access to dmg, or the other classes have too little access to damage... its buffs or nerfs, and you dont like that answer usually but if you cant see that the disparity isnt caused by MF but by class power, idk what to tell you. The answer is not to remove magic find, but to make sure it is relatively equally available. I still agree with Sync_oh that not every build should be able to do every kind of content. Though so crying that someone elses build gets more stuff than you is just like watching youtubers as a casual player, This is already their experience. New players don't understand the path of exile economy and to them this is wild, but to poe1 players this is just a normal league experience. First in best dressed and then shits expensive and you have to farm to afford stuff. You know what I did when i found out rarity was better than everyone thought it was? Instead of stopping everything i was doing to make a Mf stormweaver, I went and made a deadeye and had a blast smashing the campaign like it was nothing with gas arrow and a decent widow hail i found. Ive still found divines, luckier than some i know. Id rather people put their energy into the 1 portal problem. It feels good when you don't die, but it feels like torture when you do. I think completing maps needs to reward a decent amount of experience as an offset to the death penalty on top of the single portal. As a start anyway.

Well said man! Thanks for that! you clearly have a similar love for the game as i do!

[@quietman3473]

For me it comes down to if they balance the drop rates around the fact that Magic Find is a stat. If they do, phken pointless. Just remove it and set the drop rates to that value. I don't need another set of RNGessus rolls on my gear to try and aquire.

[@colinfrazee7430]

Around the 13 minute mark is where he really hits the nail on the head. Some builds right now are just so strong that slotting in some rarity is super easy while other builds fight just to survive the random slam attacks and chaos explosions. This is especially true for melee builds. Just saying.

[@Sync_Oh]

oh dude melee is in such a bad place right now. its a shame considering how good they made it at the end of poe1

[@Devoid516]

Magic Find is not an issue drop rates are.

[@moyga]

Most people cannot choose between having a lot of magic find gear for farming maps, or farming the bosses with powerful gear, because they need the magic find gear to get the currency required for the powerful gear and the summon materials for the bosses in the first place! It is the people who have all the magic find gear who are rich and therefore also have the powerful gear and are farming the bosses, they are doing both, they are getting the best of both worlds and other people are left in the dust doing neither. It's not choosing one or the other, its often having both or having neither. Especially if you ended up playing a popular class, like stormweaver, the items are all extremely expensive. So your comparison of choosing between the two of them makes no sense. In reality, people who dont stack magic find just get screwed over and largely never make it to being able to farm bosses because the inflation from people stacking magic find and doing breaches has made powerful gear too expensive and its extremely difficult to find any divine orbs or even things like greater jewelers without magic find on your gear. It makes it feel necessary because the gap is way too huge. And now its difficult to even get decent gear with high magic find because because everyone knows magic find is over powered, so its also very expensive to get that gear. Playing without magic find at the moment feels terrible because its way too different to playing with magic find, magic find is way too powerful at the moment. You will go from finding 1-2 exalts a map, to like 20+ exalts a map, its a crazy difference. It has become basically necessary in the current system. If you don't have magic find gear, then even 30 exalts for a mediocre ring that has your basic defenses but almost no power beyond that is very expensive. Also, psychologically, I think for most people trying to sacrifice power on your gear or things like pasive tree gems to increase currency drops, feels totally different than juicing your maps to have more currency drops. Making your character weaker and making the map harder do not feel the same psychologically. I think the former feels worse and less fun for most people.

[@tikars8668]

The problem is rarity increase the currency and rare item drop rate of the mobs significantly . If you have 0 rarity , you won't even drop one divine even you are clear the map three times faster .

[@zoesan]

I really like your take on this and I mostly agree with a lot of what you have said. The only counter-point, or thing to remember, is that poe1 and poe2 are not the same game and the whole start of the video was a rant about poe1 and I almost clicked off. I also think you were mistaken at around 17 minutes were you quoted the guy about a ring for 60 divines; he said that is where the economy is headed but ofc 60 divines was more of an over-exaggeration.

How can you compare one single godly RNG drop with making multiple divines on one map over, and over? It boggles my mind. THIS is the kind of feedback nobody needs. The fact that you have to spec into rarity to have any chance in the economy is bad for the game. A new player trying to upgrade to anything will have no chance, unless they understand the game deeply. And, all the new players don't have that knowledge. Thus, they look at buying gear, see that it is more than 100x their total net worth, and quit. Bad take on this. Really, really, bad take.

[@buddylord3276]

It's inflation, which means things don't cost more, but instead your currency is worth less. The reason it's worth less is because there's an expected work to reward ratio that's being violated with rarity and group breach farming. There isn't enough stuff or 'work' to validate the amount of currency in the game, thus the currency value drops. It's compounded with how useless currency is on a grand scale. Making it luck only, makes you need more of it, which then drives the price up artificially. Further dividing the haves and have nots of the game and drowning the new player in an inflated market economy driven by influencers and wannabe venture capitalists living out their bitcoin early buy-in fantasy through a video game.

I could say it'd be a small problem if there was any currency sinking mechanic... I mean, Chaos have it's use and divine is on high demand due to Ingenuity's belt... but what is an exalt's worth without much use ? =/ (also, I'm all in favor for increasing drop mechanics)

People complain because Item Rarity feels mandatory right now. Item Quantity was removed because it was the only thing that affected currency drop rates and you felt stupid for not running any. Now in PoE2 Item Rarity also affects currency drops, and not only that but the difference between 0% Item Rarity and 100% Item Rarity is already night and day. It's a crazy difference how it increases the drop rate of higher tier currencies. It's not a thing that you add on a finished character, it's a stat that you need to add, make yourself weaker, to acquire a reasonable amount of currency. The rares market is not fucked, people just don't know how to search for gear. Magic find actually makes common items and rares laughably cheap - but it also increases the prices of high end uniques/popular items and the items that get used up by high-end magic find blasters, widening the gap even more between regular players and high end players. People complain because they play in a trade economy and they feel like they're missing out. If this game would be SSF, noone would even care about MF. If they would change Item Rarity to not affect currency drops also noone would care.

“The rares market is not fucked up, people just don't know how to look for gear.” yes, it's fucked up because no one even bothers to answer because doing trades for 50-100ex actually makes them lose money because in the time spent trading they can do 1 breach and most likely make x2 money than trading.. so the issue of the trading side is trading LOSE U MONEY, as dumb as it sounds, but that's how it is..

Divines would continue to rise in and you people would still be locked out of the economy, in fact, it would make it far worse for yourselves because news flash, rarity gear is cheap asf and what it does do is raise the floor of currency you get and improve your consistency.

I went from having 300% rarity fully juicing maps and then went down to around 40ish% because I wanted to clear faster and the difference was less than 10% for me if we ignore currency per hour which went way up since I was clearing much faster with better gear. Also I'm more talking about the people complaining about rarity being OP. What these people want is rarity removed from gear, but that wont change shit about the economy when the difference between super juiced content with and without rarity is like less than 20%. These people think that once rarity is gone from gear that we will return to a utopian market where every player can participate fairly and equally. The point is they've been misled by anti-rarity propaganda spread by streamers who dont like MF. Nothing will change.

@@JtotheDoubleL I dont think I have heard any streamers say to remove MF. They have said (and I agree), that Rarity is such an important stat right now, that it is more profitable to gear rarity, than power. Which is 100% true, there is no question about it. At the current state of the game, Rarity is the most powerful stat. And the difference between 0-100% MF is substantial, no clue what you are going on about. And to compound it, you can have specs that are able to spec 400% MF with zero consequence to clear speed, which makes it even worse (Archmage, DD, most ranger specs). Top end streamers have demonstrated it. They do one juiced map, get 5 divine, 80 exalted, etc.. and the map takes no time at all.

@@lincolnjohnson4428 literally the majority of the biggest streamers have publicly said that they would gladly welcome rarity being removed from gear. you have no idea what you are talking about but sure, removing rarity from gear will solve all of the problems, you keep thinking that. you have clearly not played the game and have been fed a bunch of false info, keep thinking that while I and all of the people who are juicing correctly continue to drop tons of currency whether we have rarity on gear or not. And when rarity is removed from gear or at the very least nerfed into the ground and made to be non-impactful, the game and the market will still be the same, divines will still continue to rise, exalts will still be worthless and you'll be back on reddit whining about how the market is still broken and blame it on rarity, while divines continue to be printed from maps by people like me who actually know how the game works. But go off king. Yell from the rooftops that rarity is the sole reason why the game is fucked up.

[@obscurside3652]

of course your 2nd character is a MF, you would quit leagues is GGG wasnt showering you with divines and mirrors. You ain't playing poe for gameplay, but for free loot.

[@RageQuitVM]

gamers are entitled gatekeepers i swear

[@samgreen8582]

Finally people are starting to fight back. You don't have to put rarity on your gear. Narcissists that play 16 hours a day are trying to kill the fun for those of us with real jobs that can't grind all day to find shit. It's bull shit... rarity isn't the problem, drop rates are the problem, shit crafting is the problem. And the sad part is ggg will listen to this 1% of overly vocal group of players. Streamers are slowly killing gaming. There's some decent ones but ya I said it

[@dakotawoodruff2622]

Lol talk about an over exaggeration. "sTrEaMeRs ArE kIlLiNg GaMiNg" I'd Love to see your characters on PoE

[@royalecrafts6252]

as you said, rarity is not MUCH of a problem, but IT IS problem nontheless, problems stacks on top of each other

[@johnm9934]

BS trade is rigged and botted. And your full of shyt those rings have way lower stats for exalts , you know this if you do not then your a fool.

[@dias8588]

Great video actually not making rarity the problem. People will always complain... wich means ill always have entertainment lol.

[@_Baleful]

The takes from big content creators on this have been unbelievably cringe. Thank you for being sane.

[@ZeusWRLD999]

THEY MADE POE1 DEAD Cause of quant changes not that fun anymore party playing....poe1 u were never forced to MF if u want a TANKY GIGA DMG then u dont get mf and If u want all that on one build then u gotta invest like all mirrored gears which is normal for me ...THIS ALL HAPPEN AFTER AFFLICTION LEAGUE WHERE EVERY CASUAL/NOOBS FOLLOWED A MF BUILD THEN THEY WANTED TO DO ON OTHER LEAGUE BUT THEY CANT MAKE CURRENCY CAUSE THEY ARE CASUAL/NOOBS SO ALL THEY COULD DO WAS CRY ON REDDIT AND FK THE WHOLE POE....RIP TO ALL OF THE MF ENJOYERS / GROUPPLAY ENJOYERS WE HAVE BEEN DEFEATED :(

[@DesmoxMyco]

I agree on the MF thing man. People trying to kill the fun. On another topic tho I commented on your build video about p conc. Tried it and now see the difference. I was wrong about that one. But could you explain to me about the gloves you use? Why does that last line make a big dif? I don't understand if we aren't taking any other magnitude stuff why they'd be better. Thanks!

[@Sync_Oh]

Appreciate it man! The gloves allow all damage types to scale poison. So fire, cold, lightning, etc make poisons stronger. Magnitube helps but the initial hit damage is what determines the value for magnitude to scale off of

[@irritant623]

Bro just stop making poe content, you don't have a clue what you're talking about. No one is even saying every build should do everything smh.
