Hoping Darkshrines are added to the new leagues and core game, anyone else?

It seems to me that we have 2 options (since most people love the shrines but have concerns for balance)

1) Nerf OP shrine effects. (Perfection could just add random quality, just remove the fragments drop rates, etc)

2) Heavily nerf DS availability or effect (beyond that of normal shrines). We could have DS spawn rate be like that of divine shrines, or make the results of the sacrifice farm more random.

I think I prefer an option where sac'cing an item has chances like a vaal orb. a chance to not do anything. A chance to have a set negative effect, and a chance to actually do what it is supposed to (which is still random, because most of the time the good item mod only has a 1/4 chance of being used anyway).

But I do love darkshrines, and would love to see them in some form or another in the core game.

How to farm mortal hopes?

edit:
nvm found it:
Seek the Apex
Random monsters drop a Vaal fragment (not limited to one)
#% increased Mine Laying Speed
#% increased Mine Damage

Are mortal hopes common drop from this DS mod?

Chris said it on the podcast that this ladder is for fun with a mod that is not realistic for the main game.

But it is a fun mod , the extra layer it adds to the itemization system . Hunting not only for good gear but also for vendor recepies THEN on top of that item to farm darkshrines with really makes looting fun

I will say again GGG lets find a way to get this in game , mabey not now but at some point and in some way. Just for the interesting interactions between item it adds .

oh common, darkshrine is broken AF, arguably the most broken feature in poe ever.


I now have 10+ set of mortal fragments in stash, 2 page of full set of sacrifice fragment, and I only play 2hrs a day, that's crazy, I am kinda happy about the crazy but it's crazy nontheless.

Unless GGG change darkshrine's effect to total random roll, or make the better effect appear on multiple affix combo instead a single affix (which will make it much harder to find out which affix is in the combo), it's only gonna rekt the game.

Darkshrine is the most fun i've had in PoE for a long time.

-quality on gems is a realistic bonus and not something i will only ever see if i level 3 times the same character or farm for weeks

-maybe i'll get to see Atziri once, enjoying more content of the game without some silly gating system

-all drops now feel useful, i can identify everything and it's worth the effort, rather than just run through maps leaving dozens of trash rares on the ground. It makes the game actually feel rewarding with the drop rates

-it's a nice change of pace with the random modifiers to content, boss spawns and whatever can happen

It's broken indeed, it breaks the boredom and elitism on some parts of the game. But sadly i have no hope it will last beyond that month.

Darkshrine essentially gave me a scent of how much fun this game could be if GGG stopped gating content. And yes, it is MUCH more fun like that than with the usual standard kill-Atziri-100-times-to-get-a-Hope bullshit. Also, cartoboxes in high-level maps, like, finally some maps.

Aside from by all accounts being broken OP, I just can't support more temp league stuff coming to core PoE. There's too much fluff content been added already and it leaves me feeling very nostalgic for old PoE.

According to (my interpretation of) the Ascendancy video on Gamestop, Darkshrines will be incorporated into the Labyrinth as "Mysterious Darkshrines", that have a random effect from the Darkshrine pool.
