So coming off the heels of the D4 Beta and massive Twitch Marketing, GGG presents...Crucible?
There's no way POE can come up with a league mechanic that is capable to compete with the long-awaited Diablo4.
So, why even bother to waste resources to put up a good league mechanic in this league just to compete with D4 for the similar player base. There only so much pie to go around. The best strategy from GGG would be pushing a good league mechanic to a league where the hype around D4 has died down. They're literally throwing all the "bad ideas" in this league to see if any would work. Almost everything in this league is bad..... League challenge rewards sucked.... League mechanic sucked.... Mystery box sucked.... supporter pack sucked.... Kirac's vault sucked... why would anyone even bother to play in the league when it's almost the same as standard??? |

Guess it was a really quick league for me...The current changes to breeches made skin of the lords and loyal go to absurd prices, which makes the whole purpose of what I was farming pointless..
Beside the skin I need divergent cwdt exceptional ward gear cuz of the current nerfs and yea...really don't have time to put effort into farming 60 divs just to start trying the new league with nymis effect and some cdr shananigans I had in mind... Things sell really really slow unless under priced, it's a joke league :) Good luck to GGG going bankrupt once d4 hits :)) Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party.

I don't get the hate. You can add some seriously powerful modifiers to weapons with crucible crafting. The weapon skills are the reward and some of them are really great.
I also haven't played in years so I'm coming in fresh. | |
" What better loot is there than possibly very powerful passive skills worth possibly multiple skill points? I can't even imagine the line of thought here. Nothing can drop the type of skills you get in crucible. I'm adding 1% life leech + 60% leech recovery rate right now. There are barely any passives in the game that offer 1% life leech. | |
" My perspective: 1) I'm not a fan of league mechanics that take many maps or levels to complete. 2) There are too few good mods per attempt, reminds me of the Kalandra mess. 3) Where's the Loot? 4) It's just not fun. My favorite league mechanic was Ritual. Do a few in a SINGLE map or instance and have fun shopping.

" Totally agree. |

Lol, how to make this league mechanic good in a few simple steps. Make merging of trees deterministic. As in allocated nodes go on the tree where they are. Allow the nodes not have connectors so you can build the tree the way you want. Let your players have fun, disable trees when characters move to standard. Fin.

No you can attempt to. Getting past 1 that you want is a nightmare. Loved that I got my tree with the first two passives I wanted. Put it on my +1 all skill gems weapon, mutated first node to something useless. Glad I picked up every sceptre I ever saw to get the nodes I wanted....

I didnt even have a close look at D4 yet but thinking of playing 3 months of crucible.... makes me wanna play D4 right away lol.
