Path of Exile: Player's Hopes for Game Improvements

A rework of bestiary and the return of synthesis items are hoped for in the game's future updates.

### Path of Exile 3.25 Wishlist: Community Suggestions for Game Improvements
* 🐾  Rework the Bestiary mechanic to make it less tedious, suggesting a system where players collect "**Beast blood**" instead of bottling specific beasts for crafts.
* 🔮  Bring back **Synthesis items as a core part** of the Synthesis League mechanic, as they are currently primarily obtained through Ritual and Harvest.
* 🗺️  Consider reworking Tier 7 maps, as they have become **disproportionately more profitable** than Tier 16 maps, creating a **significant disparity in income**.
* ⚡  Reintroduce "Transpark" to convert **100% of lightning damage to chaos**, appealing to players who miss the **Poison Spark build**.
* 🎯  Add new anointments to enable **all damage types to poison**, expanding build diversity and creating new opportunities for **poison-based builds**.
* ☠️  Revive non-poison chaos skills, like **Essence Drain and Contagion**, to make **pure chaos builds** viable again.
* 🗺️  Criticize the "Back to Basics" Atlas passive, arguing that it encourages **removing content from maps for better loot**, which feels **counterintuitive in an ARPG**.
* 🎉  Call for the new league mechanic to be **rewarding from day one**, as players feel discouraged when they have to **grind for weeks before it becomes profitable**.

hello again Ray class it will be a pleasure doing business with you. Yo, what is up guys? It's spicy sushi. So today I wanted to go over my pred, well not really predictions, my you know hopes for the reveal tomorrow. Things they might do, probably won't happen, but these are things, and no particular order, that I wrote down today that I really do hope they add to the game/fix in the game. But yeah, probably won't happen. No particular order. Number one, I really, really want a rework of bestiary. It is probably one of the most outdated mechanics, maybe the most outdated mechanic in the game with how it functions. Bottling yellow Beast is absolute hell. If you've never done it, I can't believe people actually still do it for the subtle shot, but I'm very thankful to those people. They're probably destroying their wrist with carpal tunnel bottling yellow beasts and Poke Balls for hours. I don't even know how this hasn't been updated at this point. It is so absurdly um.

miserable to do uh, but I do appreciate people that do do it. You know what you should do G, this is what you do. You do um, you turn, you know, cray kick fck, uh, you know, all that stuff, you just make it Beast blood, okay? When you kill beasts, you collect Beast blood, uh, just like how with Harvest you have Harvest juice, and then you do all the Beast crafts with different blood. So, you'd have to, you know, make, make, make each craft, you know, a different blood, and maybe it takes some yellow blood, like I don't know if you call it yellow blood, but whatever, you know, like yellow Beast Drop, like common blood or something, and then fret cray kick, uh, you know, whatever the spider one, make it, uh, blood, okay? Now you're probably asking, like, well, what do you do for the stuff like Vivid vultures, uh, from the Harvest memory? Well, you literally delete them from the game. Yeah, remove them from Path of Exile. Vivid vultures are actually the most miserable.

uh crafting experience in Path of Exile. I hate so much having to sit in the managerie all League long rolling mirror items, you know, but in all seriousness, you know, there are actually some good crafts like the Watcher's eye mod rolling, and you know, others, so you know, maybe just make them use that same type of blood, but you have to also have a special currency like how Harvest, you have osabi drops, a special currency to do the higher tier crafts, maybe the Beast theory bosses, which if you didn't know, yeah, there's actually three, like three or more Beast theory bosses, they drop like currency for their respective crafts, and you can still do those, all right, so maybe not remove them. I would love viid vultures to be gone though, I I'd be free, but you know, in all seriousness, probably just do that, and I think that would be a pretty solid system and pretty painless for most people. Number two, please add synthesis items back to the synthesis lead mechanic. I'm not sure exactly what

happened down the line leading up to 3.24, but it started way back when they removed synth items from, you know, the Lesser synth maps that weren't cortex. And then this evolved into actual cortex mobs no longer dropping synth items, and now we literally have Uber cortex not dropping a single synth item. It feels a little bit awkward when Ritual Harvest and, like, div cards are the primary source for synth items and not literally the synthesis League mechanic. Anyway, next thing, remove t7s from the game completely, just delete them. But, you know, slightly joking, but seriously, I think t7s were in a pretty okay spot at the start of 3.24. They existed as, like, a higher tier bossing content that didn't have the crazy damage reduction stuff that Ubers had. So you could farm them for fragments on, like, a bossing build that didn't really have a lot of DPS, but maybe one that you dipped more into, like, tankiness and survivability, rather than the zhp Uber bossing meta that currently

exists at least like in softcore trade. Probably exists in hardcore to be honest too since you just one-shot the boss. Uh, it was pretty cool honestly before. I don't know, I guess I call it the FB gunning or something because after. Uh, MF was declared dead, it's like suddenly t7s were just buffed out of this world completely dwarf t16s. Uh, it made no sense so I would just like that to be fixed, maybe brought back to their former state. I hope they do something like that cuz honestly half the mods on t-17s need to just be removed, you know it's nice to have a chaos sync like this in the game but to this degree is a bit absurd and not to mention how just much more money you make in t-17s than t16s, you know back in ritual I think we had one of the best ecosystems when it came to like economy in the game, uh even if you were were like Al and go hary running you.

know doing harbingers and Volos rest or whatever. You were making like I don't know five to six divines an hour. But the people that were farming like the highest tier content in the game fractured mapping absolute juice takes a while to set up. You need an amazing build Head Hunter juice. You were still only making like 20 to 30 divines like only five times. You know only like three to five times more. Money now if you're not doing t7s you are literally making like 10 times less. And you may not care about that but just think of the fact that you can literally put in like three 30 hours into a t16 farm right now. 30 hours of your life an entire week basically coming home from work doing t16s every night and FB gun just made your entire week's worth of currency in in in a few hours. You know he just took his first coffee break and he's already made more money than you this entire week right. So t7s are so

much more money than t16s. They need to be completely reworked cuz I don't think something like that should exist. It creates absolutely disgusting uh fomo, you know, fear of missing out, uh, and so I really don't think the whole like I just don't care, you know, I just do what I do, you know, I just do what I want to do. I don't think that really works in this scenario, especially with how painful it is to actually set up t7s. You know, you could have that attitude back in Ritual League, you could just go do Alen go, you would really not be making that much less, and if you were having a better time doing that, you could do it. Now it's like just completely out of proportion in my opinion, uh, anyway, next thing, please add Transpark, which will convert 100% of lightning to chaos. We all miss Poison Spark, why did you have to Nerf our boy? I know you can make it still in the game, you know, it's not dead.

completely. But you know, it's not really good until you get an original sin. So I really would love them to just add that trans spark. I don't know why poison spark is still dead. I thought this was going to be one of the first trans gems to ever exist, 'cause that was such a staple build in the game. It's kind of nuts. But anyway, next, uh, go ahead and just add an anoint that says all damage can poison, you know, or, you know, at least some new Heist spaces like a bow that has all Elemental damage can poison, like the claw, you know, something like that. Anyway, next thing, make chaos skills good again. And no, I don't mean poison skills. I mean actual chaos skills. I miss playing Ed contagion. At this point, I feel like I won't be playing Ed contagion again until pu2, and that's pretty depressing. Uh, next thing, remove Back to Basics from the game completely. Remove it. I don't care if this is a hot take, but I think the concept of removing content from

your map to get the most loot in the game is a ridiculous concept and an arpg. I don't think that makes sense at all, you know? I think it'd be okay if it was like for some Niche Farm, like maybe if instead of just, you know, increasing everything, maybe it only increased the loot from bosses. And so then it could be like for a niche Strat like boss rushing, something like that. In the place of an arpg, I think you should get more loot when you have more stuff in your map. I don't think it makes sense otherwise. On the other hand, it is the only thing that kep magic find relevant, so magic find definitely needs some love. Maybe the six map device slot is going to help that or whatever they're cooking up. I'm sure they're going to bring MF back where to where it's not entirely reliant on back to basic since you have to spend all of your map slots for like div card, uh, scarabs, and stuff, you know? But anyway, last thing, please be a rewarding.

lead mechanic from the first day. Please, please, please, ancestors. Was the last time we had an out-of-map lead mechanic, and it really sucks how you had to grind for such a long time before it became good. It makes you feel like trash grinding the ranks up week one when everyone else is getting like five to 10 times as loot as you. Uh, while good uniques are skyrocketing, and you're making like 20 chaos per hour, it feels pretty bad. Uh, anyway, that's about all I wanted to cover today. I've had that. I just want to get out that off my chest. Hopefully in the reveal at least one of these things are done. If not, it's whatever. It's not like I haven't been dealing with that for many leagues already, but you know, this is just some hopes that I have. Anyway, love you guys. I will see you tomorrow at the reveal. Bye-bye.

ACCURATELY PREDICTING EVERY SINGLE CHANGE HAPPENING IN THE NEW LEAGUE!

Spicysushi PoE

Spicy Sushi shares his hopes for the game's upcoming reveal, including a desperate need for a rework of the bestiary mechanic.

He suggests collecting "Beast blood" instead of bottling yellow Beasts and eliminating the Vivid Vulture from the game.

Suggestions for Path of Exile Crafting Changes

Consider introducing a new currency for higher tier crafts, possibly obtained from Beast theory bosses, to enhance the crafting experience.

Bring back synthesis items to the synthesis League mechanic, as their current scarcity feels awkward.

Reassess the role of t7s in the game and potentially adjust their bossing content to provide a balanced gameplay experience.

T-17 farming has drastically overshadowed T16 farming in terms of profitability, causing imbalance in the game's economy.

Players are now making significantly more money in T-17s compared to T16s, leading to a disparity in income.

This has resulted in T-16 farming becoming much less lucrative, creating a sense of unfairness and imbalance in the game's economy.

The game should reconsider the balance of t16s to address the disproportionate rewards and the associated FOMO.

There is a strong desire among players to bring back Poison Spark and to introduce Transpark, as well as to add an anoint that enables all damage to poison.

Additionally, there is a call to improve chaos skills, such as Essence Drain contagion, and to eliminate the Back to Basics content from the game.

Suggestions for Improving Loot in the Game

Increasing loot specifically from bosses could be a more viable niche strategy than a general boost for all maps.

The upcoming six-map device slot may help make magic find more relevant without relying solely on map slots.

The game's lead mechanic should be rewarding from the start to avoid players feeling disadvantaged and to address the long grind for decent loot.
