This might sound odd to you, but there are people who feel rewarded by playing the game and encountering different mechanics they can interact with. That spawn monsters that they can kill. And hell, POE has so much of that to offer.

They dont need to get exalts thrown at them at every corner to feel "rewarded". They dont do the same stuff over and over cause its "efficient" to do so. Because for them its fucking boring. They just play a fucking great game to have FUN.

Granted, fun can be something else for different people. But a honest question: When you were a child, had your parents to reward you to play games, and did you refuse to play games when they didnt?
I don't want exalts. I WANT something unique what can drop only from depths boss. So it would be worth to do it. Now it's absolutely worthless and risk dying for NOTHING!!

Then do them! There are UNIQUE things that only drop from the boss!

(although just with a certain chance, you have to spawn the boss for them first, and there are these cards you can farm to get some of these items as well. but if you never do them, well...)

It's true they have a watcher's eye card that drops from the boss guys. I do wish GGG wouldn't nerf things quite so hard when they roll into the core game, or at least hit a better mark. Abyss 'chests' in the depths got nerfed, for what reason I can't imagine since they also nerfed the jewels themselves. Delve got big nerfs to loot at lower levels (more than once IIRC), same for Breach.

Yet Delirium feels like it got very few changes when it went core, despite it being the most rewarding thing up to it's point of entry in the game. Heist obviously deserves to be beaten with a stick at the high end, hopefully they don't gut the low end along with it (any more than they already have).
If I manage to open the portal, usually I complete it.

However, I complete the abyss only if it's going the same direction I go. If it goes backwards, I skip it, because killing just the abyss mobs does not worth it.

i dont even do regular abyss if i see one. useless and takes too long. most of the old league content is outdated and useless by now. like we saw now with endless delve, the loot is terrible
I agree. Abyssal depths boss could drop at least awakened gems.


lol yeah right. for awakened gems you need to go through the torture of learning and doing the sirus fight,the worst boss fight in POE history. and even then 8/10 times he wont drop a gem.
worst boss? lmao
3.26 when?

I love Abysses. To me it's a good balance between the two schools of thought with league content: Something in the map and something outside the map. The depths don't take too long and aren't overly difficult so it doesn't break up the flow of things too much, and regular cracks are just more stuff to kill.

Honestly it's one of the last leagues that I really enjoyed and I'm happy to see them, whenever a depths opens up it's one of the few things in this game to actually make me a little excited.
This is a buff™
I generally like abyss content, I do wish the chests, spire, and bosses had a little more reward to do them. It often feels like you just grab a vise and then don't really care about it.

The unique's aren't terrible but more things have been added to the game since then and they don't really feel as juicy as before.

Maybe with the core packs being about past leagues, maybe we'll see an update to the abyss league.
I also like abyss and also consider it one of the most balanced leagues in terms of build variety, but it's definitely the most crippled content PoE ever had.

Not that much Heist itself, but the Fracturing thing, since it allows to just run single great BP for eternity.
Same goes for Fractured Maps tbh, those were super broken in Harvest.
I do them every time they pop.
Especially in SSF when a stygian vise is worth.
