Onslought league totally underwhelming?

I like all the changes mentioned in the announcement, but seeing that onslought is just a lite version of turbo races is pretty disappointing for me.

anyone else feeling the same?

I kind of wish the Anarchy league was HC based myself. I probably won't mess with the Onslaught league for the same reason as you but I may make a character to mess around with in Anarchy.

Onslaught league contains special league only uniques, 6 new jewelry pieces. It removes prismatic rings and onyx amulets, and removes koams (I think). And it's intended to be an even harder hardcore for those kind of serious players. I think this is amazing?

I think 4 month league that is a little more of a challenge sounds awesome to me with a ladder. Dong the 8 hour turbo race and no was doing it was kinda of a shame, so challenges to do within the onslaught league are nice. Once you get gear from leveling it will be liek normal anyways. Easy faceroll can get boring, but turbo keeps u awake. I feel alot of people will be playing.

I myself will level all classes to 60 and do it all. Will be fun. Hoping desync will be better for people. I personly don't desync much at all. If I do I notic it right away and try to run the other way if mobs health is not moving or my health doesn't budge. I'm a kill everything in my way kinda gamer. Even low levels except races, I don't run by 50 mobs to get to the next zone, thats where alot of desyncs seem to happen to.

I don't like turbo mode. It is the worst possible way to make the game harder. What turbo does is this: For the majority of monsters there is no significant difference. And then there is teleporting turbo rhoas and goats and Brutus that slams you 5 times in a row without playing animations. Basically adds a few very cheap ways to die, mostly due to desync.

Then again it's a fresh HC economy and has exclusive item types so I can see it being appealing to many players.

I think its a step in the right direction at worst.

I wouldn't want it to be saturated with goofy ass mods for 4 months.

Personally I don't see a reason, for a Softcore player, to play Onslaught over Anarchy. As Anarchy has access to 4/6 of the Uniques, that'll eventually be funneled into Softcore. The other 2 they can just buy from people who died in Onslaught.

Not to mention the "Rogue Exiles" concept looks way more fun than a watered down Turbo..

I agree with this.

As a hardcore only player, playing anarchy league to enjoy those new rogue exiles seems like a waste of time.

just imagine you find a mirror while playing anarchy, and then you see it going to default (standard) after 4 months..

u sell it for 40 sc exalts and u exchange em for 20 hc exalts :P

Yeah anarchy league sounds much better but no HC means it is kind of a waste of time. Might play it a little just to see if it is more fun. Can't play onslaught unless desync is HUGELY reduced. Plus living in a country so far from a server I have enough lag that some of the monsters already move too fast. Tried turbo league and stuff teleports around like crazy!
