The WORST change since release - reversed category tiering on items

Why does it not make sense lmao? it makes it so you can easily see if you got the best roll on an item. Dont you want that? instead of checking websites all the time to see if the rolls is the best tier or just guessing or speculating, like what?

That's the playerbase for you right now. Complaining without even thinking. I feel bad for GGG, really :D

You do realise, tiers and levels are two different things? Your character is level 100, not tier 100.

A ton of people have been asking for this change, because different categories had different maximum tiers. So you never knew if T4 was good or not, nor what even the best possible tier in that category was.

Now, T1 is always the best. Super easy to understand.

They were only asking for this because that's how POE 1 works, and they don't know any better. There are better ways to solve that problem without making the game inconsistent vs how other things are tiered.

It is better this way all the while tiers are not uniform

T1 = best, T2 = second best, always

it's not hard to understand, a lot easier than before, without consulting a spreadsheet

Some people love to manufacture outrage

Reversed tier (T1 = highest) makes sense in this case because different mods have differnt number of tiers. It is not trivial to know the max number of tiers for each mod. For endgame, you often needed to visit a third party website to check if you already got the highest tier, unless you've memorized max tier of most mods. Also, a same mod on different pieces of gear can have different number of tiers, that was really confusing.

With reversed tier, it is a lot easier, as T1 is always the best tier, T2 is always the second best, and so it goes. It is pretty important to know that when evaluating the a rare items for trade of for endgame crafting.

On the other hand, the main info that we get with normal tier (T1 = lowest) is what was the worst tier and it is not really useful. This info is not really important. That is why normal tier (T1 = lowest) in this case doesn't make sense.

I was against it at first, especially because it's not consistent with the rest but you get used to it and it's more convenient in the end.

You're not wrong. They have made the game even more worse, didn't think it was possible but there you go. The drops are still severely underwhelming. I just leave tons of loot cos its all so useless. the crafting system leaves a lot to be desired. Gave up on that last patch. you Have to pay for a premium tab just so you can sell items. Everything about this game seems like punishment rather than fun. Some abilities that bosses have just cannot be avoided unless you get lucky on the ability placement. They take away cosmetics that have been bought because "they are not compatible with the game version" (thats theft btw). Everything about this game is designed to waste your time. The grind is expected in games but this one is shit. GGG do not give a crap about their players. The player numbers are proof of that. I see less and less streamers playing this game, I wonder why that is. This game WILL give you cancer of the soul. GGG when are you going to make a fun game???

Don't feed the trolls, guys.

This doesn't make sense from a developer standpoint either. It's easy to go up tiers in the future to increase stats. Now of you want to add range to a stat you have to redo the numbers and change it completely.
