I had the same thought - even Kalandra was better because Kalandra was bad but at least the endgame juicing was present with sextants and stuff - there was lots to do.

Now they literally gutted and dumbed down everything to a lowest point this game have ever seen.

Its not just the removal of mercs quant and stuff - it has gone on every level to an abbyssmal point.

People saying this league is good are still in the campaign or didn't finish the atlas - they get 6 links and good rares from the tree and all seems fine.

But give them a week or two once they get to the endgame and see the abyss.

Yeah, this.

I'll not play after 40/40.

There is literally nothing to do. The overnerfs to 16.5 mods are absurd, the nerfs to scarabs were stupid. All good strategies are dead.

Not just that, but no new OP skills either.

Most people will leave and hopefully they will learn that no one wants their "vision", people want strong builds and a lot of loot.

You should learn the game.
It takes like 6-8 hours even if you're slow to reach maps. There isn't problem with leveling in PoE1.

Also what would be the point of adding league content to standard? So you oneshot the boss with legacy build, clear breaches with another and quit after a day because you already cleared the content?

its not the matter of learning the game. its about what i enjoy doing.

i have cleared most of the games content except stuff like ubers using my self made build. i would dare say i've learned more about this game than most people who follow build guides have learned.

dont get me wrong, i m enjoying this current league, but would have enjoyed it more if i could just skip the entire process of refarming all my gear over again.

many people enjoy that process. i simply dont.

as for your comment about oneshotting content and quitting after a day. i have 2 things that i want you to consider.

1. if the league content is fun, wouldnt players want to play more despite being very powerful?

my personal answer is yes. in fact in many cases there are some leagues where i just dont want the league to end so i can keep on playing the league content. most of the casual league player base drops off within the 2nd month of the league, but whenever i m balls deep and actually enjoying the league content, i never want it to end. the same will be true on standard. similarly in Last Epoch, back in S1/S2, i played the fuck out of the game even tho i have legacy gear and a maxed out character.

2. perspective of a standard player

A. Standard player who is actively playing the game despite leagues happening. I was this player for most of POE in its early years. I always looked at league content with envy but i soldiered on playing on standard coz poe was still my jam. How does this sort of player "quit in a day" when they're actively playing regardless of league content? doesnt make sense does it?

B. Standard player who hasnt played poe in a while and doesnt like restarting their progress. This player has more or less "took a break" from playing on standard or POE even. he will not even LOOK at poe news because he's played standard inside and out, while league content just gives him the feeling of "meh, i dont want to grind to play that". so POE is totally ignored. IF ggg announced that league content was available to standard as well, wouldnt it be logical to assume theres a chance of all these "old players" to have some interest and return to POE?

Also, don't you think that if they returned and they found the league content enjoyable they would stay?

to be honest, i can understand where a lot of people saying people will quit the game in a day notion comes from BUT usually these people tend to forget one important fact.

if the game is fun, people will stay. its quite ironic. i dislike restarting my progress in leagues, but usually i m one of the few who plays until the very last week of the league (if i enjoy it). i would say i enjoy leagues MORE than a majority of actual league enjoyers.

for example back when we were stuck in the perpetual settlers league. i played the fuck out of it. many "league enjoyers" were crying and asking for new leagues but i still soldiered on. simply because i enjoyed the content. it feels wild to see people seeming to be unable to grasp the concept of playing more because you enjoy something.

biggest skill issue ive ever read in my entire goddamn life holy

Is this a joke or a typical brain rot moment of an argumenless PoE player?
What is the skill issue?
The loading in time that is PURELY game sided issue?
or the fact that day 1 6 links costed 9c instead of the usual 40c?
or the fact that all the fractures can be easily bought for few chaos?

Exactly this.

They actively advertise new leagues as "economy reset" and that has nothing to do with learning the game, just repeating the boring part over and over and over and over...

If anything, it's giving standard players a reason to purchease packs AND having ultra fast beta testing. Seems like a win-win situation to me.

Good job once again for killing the game for endgame players GGG.
