How Bad will it be?

League will be dead by mid-evening Eastern time if they don't remove the escort mechanic. I'm not sure what the process is over at GGG, but it seems like this might not be an in-house creation.

There's literally 0 chance people will do an escort gauntlet, and then be slowed by down by esplodin's and light (or lack thereof) issues and goin' back to town for supplies.

Pardon the pun, but I can't see this league lasting longer than a few hours, at most, unless the Azurite/escort shit is removed.

Path of Exile really needs to develop maps and the story-mode areas as content.

If it viably replaces mapping as endgame content I can see it working out really well.

So I just watched some more stuff and it seems the trolly cart uses azurite as a fuel source. Which must mean you will have a limited amount of time in the so called endless dungeon but if you hit check points you can pick up where you last left off once you get more fuel./? I don’t get it why couldn’t we just get a true endless dungeon where monsters get increasingly more hp. That way you can go as far as you can until you can no longer actually kill anything or somethingike that.

I realize there has to be some “thing” to say “you made it as far as you can this time” but I think most would agree the timer on incursions is incredibly short and more so seems RNG based. I can finish some with like 30 seconds left but then there are times where I am destroying shit and not gaining anytime at all...it is super annoying and frustrating. I feel like if they gave just another 3 to 5 seconds or made the timer reliable it would better. Anyway I hope this cool idea isn’t ruined by some dumb annoying shit.

If not skip, certainly put off plowing through. But I imagine there are still plenty of quest rewards in acts 2-10 you'll want. :P

I'm guessing the fuel will have tiers (like nets) that'll restrict how far you can go in the mine, and you'll need map-found fuel to access the infinite part.

It cant be worse than running incursions over and over like a zombie

From the looks of it, it's like incursion too, in that because you have to keep finding "resources" before you can do a delve run you won't be just grinding out 1-65 outside of campaign.

You'll play like you always do, and run into resource nodes along the way, after you collect enough of them the npc will be able to power the cart long enough for a run. Rinse, repeat.

The more i read about this the less i like... already sort of killed my hype since we cant get legacy relic kaoms

Probably not or you will miss the skill quests / lab.

Worth playing for this alone if it does.
