Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


They could have at least gone all-in with the concept and given Azmodan's head a random chance to spawn in the game world to shittalk you.

bc they're the best loot and scarcity is a core pillar of ARPGs?

uniques up to now could only be dropped by monsters IIRC

you could also get them as rewards for finishing a nightmare dungeon

Hey I'm not done talking about the fact that uniques can only drop in specific circumstances and this fact is not reported to the player.

So you kill a malignant elite, cage its heart, and can socket the heart it drops into your gear to gain new powers.

Dah, need the right kind of sockets.. So now you have one more thing to look for on perfect gear.

They better have a way to reroll multiple affixes for this to be worthwhile.

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

Kinda laughing that they've recognized how pointless gems are so they're just putting in a better thing to stick in a socket this season.

Blizzard hastily releasing the game with an unfinished act while sweating bullets to meet their June release date.

Blizzard then casually looking to PoE to copy their homework while the season deadline looms.

lol I hope the 3 months until season 2 give them a real chance to catch their breath
