So how do we feel about Keepers of the Flame efter a few days?

Actively hurt the game while covering half the map with little to no rewards. Foulborn is a flop and 95% trash items.

My brain still can't comprehend that Settlers and new Breach will be core and Mercenaries not. It seems like they want players to play the interface instead of the game

Where did you read the new Breachv2 will be core?

I'm out if that thing goes core and their idea of reworking mechanics is to turn fun and simple mechanics into convoluted dumpster fires.

seems obvious right? i dont think they will remove the breach mechanic alltogehter but since they removed old breach i guess the new one will stay...
gonna be an instablock from me though haha

Old breach, atlas and all, is still available on Standard.

Not enough Wombgifts drop and i only seem to get the fortress now and again

I have been at or close to full ever since the patch. The amount of gifts that are dropping are a joke (and not a funny one). I do every single breach in my maps, never fail etc. and this is my sad situation. Not only has the tree been completely unrewarding (for me) but I'm always full on blood waiting on the occasional gift. GGG??????

Regarding everything else in the game (to keep things balanced). The game is good, I'm OK with the economy since I know how to adjust after 13 years of playing. I geared up quickly and the trading is AMAZING not having to wait around and get frustrated. I even threw on a good amount of rarity so I have plenty of gold for a change and the gold changes GGG did were awesome.

So it's not all doom and gloom but the league mechanic sucks (except for the amazing Grifts that I bought which are really powerful if you know what you are doing - it took me some time to figure out how to maximize).

Ok to be constructive here is what this veteran of 20,000+ hours played would do. Dramatically increase the gift drops #1. #2 is to be able to toggle off the hive graphics in maps since they ruin mapping. Heck, at this stage I would be fine just turning off the entire breach mechanic if it would clear up the maps.

What I quickly realized was that:
1) Provisioning wombgift drops from the tree became immediately worse after the patch
2) I get way less of the wombgifts I want, graft and currency
3) The breach encounters now seems like more of a waste of time than anything.

The only breach encounter I like to do now is the standard breach portal that expands and then closes. Ailith can fuck right off.

Are we getting less breach encounters now or is it just me? could have sworn we got one every zone/map before. Now its not always there

Totally agree, no cannot be only you, I do also notice that we are getting far far less that what what we were getting at the very start, the breach drops are a complete waste of time, the bare minimum SHOULD be 1-2 wombs, but you know what we get? nada, nothing, garbanzo...,they also cut off the ultrahigh end of the game, mirror tier items are technically useless unless you plan a ubertank/dps void valdo build.

Is absolutely impossible for me to fathom or visualize what's the purpose of devs making the game a total slog unless a player spends 8+hours a day playing, with even weaker endgame than before.

I have been paying better attention now, and there has always been a breach, but as stated by many, just not getting enought gifts. I seem to rack up a tone of gift to craft chest,belt,gloves etc.

But very very few on the rest, especially once for making unique where i have the most fun hunting for foulborns.

So if they can buff the gifts to drop more of the other types that would be great!

You can influence what you find via the Grafts you equip. Of course the most common ones will be Graft and Equipment wombs, but you can always 5:1 them for a chance at better ones
