Path of Exile: Is Dried Lake Farming Too Convenient?

Tips, Tricks

1. Nice farm with OP skills, just run around and click one button :D
2. ifpeople want to play the same thing over and over then i say let them, it doesnt effect my game play at all.
3. sir LiftingNerd Gaming,please can u give the stats of that character in your video thanks
4. sadly its still takes to long to level up before dried lake, makes rerolling a huge chore
5. This is like the new Baal runs
6. It's obvious you don't nerd, BUT YOU DO DORK WELL!
7. I would rather see a buff than a nerf.
8. B-b-but dried lake is my favorite
9. Is it really that good? I'm leveling much faster just doing Tier 1 maps at 70~80, plus I also get higher Tier maps that way. Dried Lake never really occurred to me as a great farming spot...
10. dried lake to ~80s? just how
11. Mb remove legacy items instead of ranting about single zone?
    Or give us better optimization.
12. For as good as we like to think GGG is - the one area they are complete assholes about - is loot. The loot in this game is sooooo unbelievably bad, that I will bet even with this next expansion - maybe..... maybe.... 1 good item will be introduced, and another 15 "leveling uniques", meaning they are worthless in just a few levels. This game is soooo overrun by garbage gear, I dont even bother picking up 99% of uniques. I see the item, know instantly "thats a 1 alch item" and move on. Here's the part that just makes me mad as hell, GGG takes NO feedback on gear - nothing, they dont give a shit.... doesnt matter how well you construct your feedback, or how valid it is, or even who posts it, or how many people agree - thier stance has always been "total blackout", and ignore us. Whoever designs the gear in this game - should be fired, and blacklisted from this industry so they cant be rehired and fuck up other games.... why is any of this relevant?
    
    because dried lake, allows me to bypass all the BS of doing maps 1 by 1 with tons of quantity, rarity, and risk, wasting tons of currency.... and having close to zero chance of ever getting anything out it. Dried lake makes the game fun.... atleast for awhile. Cause if the gear is total shit - atleast, I can feel my character getting more powerful, and wiping out hordes of mobs quickly, and atleast make me feel like I am making some type of progress in this game.
    
    Cause Gear.... most certainly isnt there, doesnt matter how much you dump into maps... your lucky if you find 1 item worth over 10 ex in a year... and thats a major problem. If they never address the gear in this game - or the lack of it, and STOP making "leveling uniques", then we need things like dried lake - to atleast keep some aspect of the game purely fun.
    
    cause once you hit 85-ish, and have to blow everything you got, in a map pool that will quickly disappear with your currency, and you walk out with less then you started with every time... its not surprising that people start dropping out the leagues 2-3 weeks after they are introduced.
13. Lake is good, some maps have either terrible bosses, terrible layouts, terrible monster composition or just terrible rewards in the end. For non-HC, Lake is shit but fast, for HC - lake is safe.
14. Dried Lake is necessary. The map drops got nerfed too hard. The benefits are not comparable to a skill gem. you don't make one option better by making other options worse. you take the bad ones and make them better!!! No one farms the mines because they suck! make sure mines a better place to visit, and more people will go there. I'm dropping tier 5 & 6 maps inside tr10 maps, and not getting any tier 10 and 11 maps. of course people are going to run dried lake up until the mid eighties! GGG nerfed map drops!
15. You leave my dried lake alone, fiend! ._.
16. I say nerf the shit out of it . People should be forced into maps at level 70 - 75 . This is probley not going to happen however since GGG has stated that they want to have a normal game mode alternitive to low level maps. Act 4 seems to fit that bill just fine for that .
17. If Exiles are asking for another "Dried Lake" then I have nothing to say about that.
    But if they are asking to nerf Dried Lake, I would be very sad. Because why would it need to?
    Map Farming. Farming Dried Lake will never give you other tier map drop except tier 1. Ya sure, you can stock em up and use vendor map recipe to get higher tier maps, but it is SUPER INEFFICIENT. ya it drops, but not as always as you think it does that it would make you feel it needs to be nerfed. I reached level 83 farming from 54 as dedicated Magic Finder and I can testify farming for maps is not as efficient as farming tier`d maps. I literally needed to buy those high tier`d maps to those mappers with the chaos orbs I gained from Dried Lake-Chaos recipe farming just to have maps that can actually make me level up. And I swear to God, if only I learned how easy to get and how important those tier maps than any amount of chaos orbs, I should had gone joining as culler for tier`d maps or I should had gone solo`ing tier`d maps.
    Item Level Farming. Farming Dried Lake will never give you the same item level of those gears that get dropped at those level. In short, a Dried Lake farmer will never be able to get those roll`d gears dropped from the tier`d maps.
    Currency Farming. Ya, Dried Lake gives you unlimited portal-return to get all those rare loots for chaos recipe, which means a lot of Chaos income compared to Map farming(since you cannot always go back to stash on mapping), but is it a lot already to make Dried Lake nerf`d? No, maps can be mod`d to increase Item Quantity plus Pack Size, which is a hell lot greater than a simple Dried Lake., plus of course, a less penalty in experience gained.
    Difficulty. If you guys saying Dried Lake is too easy to get the job done? maybe yes. But can this compete with the tier`d maps? no. Farming still stands, you want easy loots go easy Dried Lake, you want heavy loots and experience, then go Heavy maps. Its still logical.
    And you guys trying to nerf Dried Lake, when my Magic Finder once tried a Dominus Run. I already regretted farming Dried Lake for soo long, I should had done Dominus Runs.
    Please keep the Dried Lake still Dry. Thank you.
18. When do I reach the point not being a beginner anymore?

    PS, your Videos are awesome
19. I wonder how many lower tier maps he has hoarded up waiting to sell after trying to influence this update?
20. I think improve the maps is the best option
