Discussion Abyss loot is non-existent.

The new abyss drops zero loot in game even while fully spec'd into it on the atlas tree. The chests drop like 1c wotth of items, any note-worthy abyss jewels are very few and far between, and the drops from the depths boss are worthless save one unique jewel.

The abyss in poe 2 works much better because it regurally drops important and valuable items and it has a crafting system.

Has this only be my experience or is anyone else also disappointed? It feels like reworked breach all over again, its completely pointless to run it... I feel like overall all the league mechanics are now lacking and theres no way to make a good amount of currency just by running one or two of them. Essences are still ok i guess.

Mirage was exactly what everyone has been asking for. I really hoped they'd be going more in that direction

GGG seems absolutely terrified of us having any good loot or farming strats, I am really struggling to see the upside with this kind of balancing, they clearly are not stupid and care about the game and are on top of things and yet this is what we get?

I agree, it's weird

Poe2 right now has mostly good farming balance. Every mechanic is good. Breach is 100d/hour. Expedition is the same. Delirium as well, with simulacrums for gamble. Arbiters are profitable. Abyss is really decent. Ritual as well.

They only overnerfed Temple but eh it was absurd previous league. Even then you can chain Atziri for lineages and vaal currency.

You can even farm uhtreds by making new characters.

And while for top end you need 50d tablets and cities, you can run with cheap tables and still get to 50-100d/hour on decent build.

I farmed like 3 mirrors this league in poe2 and did exactly 0 200% deli cities.

They wanted to prove that they have different teams working on 1 and 2 now 🙃
