Talisman beating Torment as most boring league !

Magic / White talismans hurt the league, everything else about it is great.

Below ilvl 77 and any ilvl and any base/tier Magic / White talismans so useless, that makes league worse.

Why we still have no way to upgrade white / magic to rare?

SO after that many sunk talismans, finally got to rigwald. My rewards and incentive to start this shit all over again:

Fuck this league and this game. This was sort of a test league for me to see if I'll be back permanently for Ascendancy, but there's no way in hell. It's still a boring grind game.

That talisman is sick.

It's unfortunate you don't realize why. But it's pretty freaking dope.

Peace,

It's bad for my build and I'm unable to sell it. Thus it sucks. I do know it could be very good for some builds (int based whispering ice), but seems no one is playing those builds or at least they are not in a position to buy such a talisman.

After 625 sunk t1 talismans, I'd rather get something more substantial then an "ammy I might be able to sell if I'm lucky."

My strategy in a new league is: Play a build that doesn't require expensive gear and get it to maps. Play it until I find something I really want to try or I drop a build-enabling unique that looks like fun. Start new character.

The grind required to get a shot at Rigwald is too high. Fighting RW is fun and it's a shame that GGG decided to make it such a rare event. It's the core feature of this entire league!

I'd rather have less guaranteed loot and hit Rigwald over the head much more frequently. This league feels too much like playing Standard.

Having explored Darkshrines as much as I possibly could, I can't help but feel bad for people that missed out on it. Talisman pales in comparison dramatically... RIP Darkshrines =(

I like the general idea of the talisman league but the end result is somewhat underwhelming. Talismans are pretty cool themselves and they offer some great bonuses especially at lower levels compared to the classic amulets. It's always nice to see new item types being introduced and I bet it was a challenge to fine tune the talismans to not make them over/underpowered.

I just wish there were more mechanics in the league though - something else in addition to the stone circles (and the stone circles themselves could be expanded to provide more options / mechanics). There was quite a bit of hype before the start and considering they only had to develop one system (as opposed to previous leagues) I have to say that my expectations were quite high.

Some ideas:
- have slightly different kinds of stone circles that are used for different types of talisman sacrifices
- there could be some interactions / mechanics when two or more monsters with talismans are in close proximity
- maybe some new talisman map modifiers that could appear in zones (maybe you could also add talisman along with a map into the map device to spawn some cool modifiers)
- more incentive for player to drop talismans so monsters could pick them up (maybe you could tamper with talismans at some new kind of stone circle to create 'sabotage' talisman that would debuff a monster that picks it up), could also be combined with previous suggestion - maybe you could intentionally drop talismans if 3-4-5 talisman wearing monsters would make a ritual to merge into some kind of super shaman with better loot drops

etc...

Talisman cant be compared to DS.
DS was super and best league ever, Talisman worst and most boring league ever.

They are all blue and white and often the same base.
But otherwise not a bad league.
I would play the crap out of it if the talisman were more often rare.

Use 100% IIR.
