Path of Exile’s Loot Goblins is what the RPG community is talking about right now: it’s a description for players who farm for hours on end with minimal rewards in search of a high-paying enemy. Many fans say that this phenomenon, which became the focus of many endings in PoE 3.19, symbolizes both the major problems with the magical research system and the lingering frustration with Path of Exile Archnemesis mods.
In a nutshell, “magic find” is a phrase Path of Exile players use to refer to “higher rarity of items found” and “higher number of items found” from gear stats (although the latter is sometimes referred to as “quantity found” ). ‘, to clarify further). The term comes from the equivalent stat in Diablo and basically boils down to the chance to find rare items and coins. The higher your magical find, the more goodies you get and the better it can be.
Magic Find has long been a popular build theme, because who doesn’t want more good loot to drop? However, you will have to make sacrifices to include a magic find in your build, as it takes up space in your gear stats. The more magical finds you have, the weaker the rest of your build will be, a fair tradeoff all things considered. Recently though, this combined with the additional complex Archnemesis mods recently introduced has had a dramatic effect.
A series of special Archnemesis mods called “god-players” (each linked to a different god in the Path of Exile pantheon) transform monsters into much more dangerous versions of their normal form, but their items are converted into currency. valuable and more again. rare end-game items such as cards and divination cards. These creatures can drop a lot of high level PoE currency when defeated, and it only gets worse when you defeat them with a character with a high magic quest score.
So what does all this mean? Basically, Path of Exile players spend hours trying to spawn these prized monsters, removing dozens and in some cases even hundreds of endgame cards to do so. To do this effectively, they use a fast, high-damage build, which means they probably don’t have a lot of magical discoveries. Instead, when they encounter a particular enemy, they turn to a monster-slaying mercenary known in the community as “MFCooler” for help.
MF Cullers get their name from the fact that the build is almost entirely about finding magic, to the point where they’re almost useless at clearing the map in general, and the Culling Strike ability they use, which allows them to instantly kill any enemy gone. less than 10% health. (to make up for his usual inability to fight). MF Culler’s job is to stand before a single God-touched enemy, wait for their health to drop, and then smash them with a barrage of incredibly valuable rewards, so much so that, in the end, it usually more than pays off. all grinding hours in advance. .
Some players participating in multiplayer groups include a person in the MF Culler version; others will hire one of the in-game chats or Discords as needed, usually handing over a percentage of your reward in exchange for services rendered. However, no matter how they do it, the community seems to be almost unanimous: spending hours upon hours farming enemies that are highly unlikely to drop anything worthwhile, only to get a large but very rare reward. , is an incredible and unsatisfying way to perform.
A veteran PoE Reddit player said: “You can also completely remove normal mobs from maps, because you won’t find anything there. It’s really sad and annoying how years and years of our system where general mob loot looked good has now gone to a few mobs leaving expensive X or whatever. Another says that after finally finding his first god-touched rare after a few hours of farming and failing to kill it, “I just quit the game and started watching Netflix. I no longer want to cultivate or even try to play.”
At the other end of the scale, one particularly lucky player shared his trophy, one of the largest ever posted on the subreddit, leaving players stunned that one encounter yielded “more money than me. Wins in the entire league.” A new player even asked why the usual “very positive” user rating on Steam had been downgraded to “mostly negative” in the recent reviews section. The responses convinced them that most of the game is still enjoyable and that “it will take you a few hundred hours to even recognize the issues.” For beginners, the game is 100% good and definitely worth playing.
However, for a game like Path of Exile, which has long been supported by its most dedicated fans and rich endgame experience, this kind of widespread dissatisfaction certainly won’t be taken lightly. Grinding Gear Games hopes to win over Path of Exile fans with the upcoming 3.20 patch and the road to 4.0 when the game transitions to Path of Exile 2. Meanwhile, the Diablo 4 release date is getting closer, so the competition for the title of the best role-playing game on PC will probably come out in 2023.
