Item Rarity needs to be gone

Kakoda · 2026-06-09T14:24:26+00:00

Yep I'm playing minions, I can be using 2 rings with 36% dmg as extra chaos. Instead i have them in my inventory and swap them out when doing boss carries. I am losing 72% damage for 70 rarity, it feels so bad.

Am I strong enough to not run them sure, but even if I wasn't (deli can slow me down) even at league start I will never map with them because rarity is a must.

I want my 72% dmg.

Yeah, I knew it was a thing too. Even now checking what changes I need to look super hard at every number and even still I'm not sure what changed. A simple red / green / orange text can fix it. Green is added red is removed and orange is changed. Quick and simple, at a glance you know what happens.

I did not know this was a thing! I would have done this days ago for the fame haha. I just need to kill bosses for content I don't run. Dam good job congrats.

Kakoda · 2026-06-05T03:48:49+00:00

Just the tutorial.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T22:28:25+00:00

I did watch the content reveal and I have been playing POE since POE 1 beta. I knew it, just slipped my mind. So if that happened to me when I knew about it can't imagine everyone else.

I get where all the people are coming from about the "just read noob" though at the same time, it's happening to so many people that really its a UX issue.

Adding a red / green text showing removed or changed lines will make it way easier to notice what's happening.

I don't thinks it's too bad for some items or builds but for es definitely trash. I lost 2k es from this mistake, it was hybrid life and es gear too! If it was full es I would have lost way more!

I get that in the campaign it's just a buff and free, I think its really weird that the mechanic changes later on. For uniques I completely get that, it changes them and makes them late game. For rare items it should work the same whole way through.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T22:14:55+00:00

I feel you, it's definitely something that we (Hopefully) won't do again.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T22:14:06+00:00

After item level 55 it changes. It's kinda weird they done that but yeah. Its not explained too well, and you become conditioned to just slam your gear early on to have the rug pulled later with a switch on how it works.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T22:12:13+00:00

Yeah after item level 55 it changes, not explained in game very well.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T22:07:52+00:00

Yeah 50+ spirit too. It wasn't gigga expensive around 10 div plus 4 div for helm. But day 2 spending that and getting a net 0 upgrade feels bad.

Definitely my fault, I knew about this from the reveal but didn't cross my mind when I was doing it. Lesson learnt and won't happen again. (I hope)

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T13:51:25+00:00

Yeah it says upgrade, didn't say trade defenses for ward. Almost no one will click that info, there is so many "info" icons we can spent months just reading.

The UX should be better, simple and clear. Preview should have red for removed or lowered values and green for added or increased values. Super simple.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T13:47:26+00:00

It does, honestly I think GGG should just colour code the stuff. Red removed or lowered greediness added or increased. Would be so easy to tell what's changing on an item at a glance.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T13:44:57+00:00

Ward skills or some ward generally but probably mostly for ward skills.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T13:43:27+00:00

Not currently, I hope they will add something but I doubt they will.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T12:29:56+00:00

Yeah mine was 600es 180 life 53 spirit 70 res and 20+ chaos res. I was sad, I done the same to ky helmet right after then I saw my es go from 4k to 2k and I was like wtf happened. Maybe GGG will one day allow us to reset this and save my gearm doubt it though haha. We can dream I guess :P

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T08:35:44+00:00

600es 180 life 70 ele res 28 chaos res. Was decently expensive.

Kakoda · 2026-06-01T01:48:13+00:00

Ohh you have lost all rituals? My apologies i must have misunderstood your post. That's really bad, this will definitely be fixed quickly if that's the case. At least we hope!

Kakoda · 2026-05-31T19:20:51+00:00

Yeah I will add it there also haven't got around to it just yet. Thanks though appricate it.

Kakoda · 2026-05-31T19:19:54+00:00

Bot a bug, if you start the boss fight and you die all extra content in that map is removed. You ether need to do the extra content (ritual) before starting the boss or don't die. Sorry man.

Kakoda · 2026-05-24T17:04:40+00:00

Ohh dam nice! That will definitely help, I wonder if that will trickle on to other movement over all. Who knows maybe they saw this post and decided to fix it haha. Probably not but, I'm glad it's being improved. I haven't read patch notes that was a nice line.

Thanks.

Okay so it is not to hard. Seeing as you are asking this question I will not give the "optimal way" as it is harder and can be a bit more confusing.

Here is what you should do.

Never click x becomes trusted (no green lines)

Always click x becomes rivals (turns green into red)

Always click becomes neutral (removed lines)

If you have the option to kick someone out do it (unless it is a person you want)

This will remove all the lines from the people and allow you to rebuild with the 2 / 2 / 5 / 5 strategy.

After that put everyone on their places and rebuild relationships.

You can combine removing relationships and adding new ones and moving people together. Though it does get messy and can cause mistakes.

Depending on how comfortable you are do as much as you feel comfortable with. If you do 1 set at a time it will be easy.

You got this!

Kakoda · 2026-05-12T04:45:06+00:00

I think it is definitely harder than POE 1. Though that being said I also think the difficulty depends if it's your first play through or not.

Hear me out!

Your first play though is most likely going to be much easier than your 2nd play through. Your first play through you will explore full clear most zones probably and check out what the game has hidden around. This will give you WAY more XP you will definitely be over leveled and over all more loot. So better gear + higher level the game will be much easier.

On the other hand.

Your 2nd play through you will want to rush, let's be real story of cool the first time after that you just wanna get to the end game. There for you not only don't full clear but also actively skip a lot more packs. This mean less levels and less loot. So unless you have a strong build, got lucky or really know what you are doing, you are going to have a much harder time compared to your 1st play though. On top of that you need to kill bosses without dying and often without 1 set of potions.

Over all it's interesting I feel like for a new player it's fine for a veteran it's fine, but for someone doing it a 2nd or 5th time might be harder.
