I'm simply trying not to play PoE too much, so I keep enjoying it without that "meh, Shavronne's dropped again" feeling. Right now my assistants in this are a good weather and Overwatch :D

I gave up on HC because I grew tired of losing a 3 week old character who just got to mapping and merciless lab to a poorly designed fight like Izzy. Just too long to spend training up characters in a futile attempt to learn the fight.

Must be a design flaw if you can't beat Merci Izaro?

League is about to end and I made a lot of currencie so far...but I don't feel like I accomplished anything. I played this League more like "business simulator" and despite I should be happy with all riches I got in form of raw exalted, chaos and other currencies, 6 links, GG corruptions, etc., I feel some kind of emptiness inside.

Anybody experienced this before? How you handled this? How you keep on enjoying the game?

Just a thought, but could those feeling stem from just playing too much and living too little? Like a heavy hangover or as google would say: "Too large an amount of a beneficial or useful thing or activity can be harmful or excessive"

Intentionally and consistently overtuned boss fights with, stealing a line from Ventiman, "gfx porn" that makes them unintentionally and exponentially more difficult? Yeah, that's a design flaw. Criticize him for not going back to HC now that he knows the mechanics, but I don't blame anyone for playing new stuff on SC first to counteract the 2 bullshit things I listed.

Edit, I guess it would be polite to say something on topic, so for OP: set a goal for yourself at the beginning of the league to make a good build out of a unique that everyone says will suck. I've done Trypanon, Dreamfeather, and Nuro's Harp in the past. It's a real FeelsGoodMan moment when you get those last couple pieces of gear that push the build from struggling to legitimately clearing stuff at a good rate. (If you can make it there).
