Does anyone else feel incredibly bored of Prophecy?

Totally agree with this. Whilst I'm not playing the new league at all currently, I'm still getting server disconnects.

Map loss, unable to enter portals, getting kicked off to login screen, it goes on and on.

What fun.... :(

I got bored. Already back on standard.

It's so odd to see everyone saying they get dc and roll backs and I haven't had a single one of those this league. I don't mean to defend that it wouldn't be Ggg's fault or anything and I know those must such balls and make you want strangle someone. Just find it odd

I'm not bored. I do all kinds of things, including prophecies, mapping and helping my friends. Also I only have about 30 hours of playtime in this league so far, which works out to about three hours per day. Not overdoing things helps avoid a burnout.

I'm not sure what it is, but Prophecy is basically standard... i see very little to no difference in overall gameplay :/ i might as well return to standard, because well, now theres 2 standards, and yeah :/

I haven't gotten bored yet, likely because I just don't play often enough to get bored.

Also, kudos on the build. How's Frostbolt working out for you?

no problem bud, glad you enjoy it, frostbolt is the shit man! its amazing :D, 7 casts per second, 37k dps, 50 something with frenzy charges, its awesome :o

Shield charge is making me play like mad😊
Need more map!!

Personaly i enjoy the league itself lot of suggestions has been taken into consideration by GGG ( no more zana 8, trials has to been done one time only, more uniques enough interesting to jump in league, less intensive trading to complete challenges, and kinda more interesting challenge than ever etc ... ).


But ... nothing is perfect and here are some problems i noticed during this intensive ( in my case ) league start.

First of all starting a league at this period of the year is a BAD IDEA.
PoE league success is due to the largest potential userbase able to play at a certain time and during a certain period.
Actualy userbase feel poor for few reasons but one of the most common is many players has their exams to work and in theory spend more work on ... preparing exams .. kinda obvious.
Add to that the hype is mostly here for the few weeks after league's start don't really expect them coming to play in mid league with the same enjoyement.

Second thing is about performances.
Personaly i don't give a shit if latency is a bit too high or even if i'm crashing while i'm playing or i mean well no big deal at all i played online games since it exist and know it's never a relaxing walk.
Due to my work i also know there are some limitations in time to release a product and agenda to respect etc ... No one is safe from troubles like path of exile epic league's start :D

Problem is Path of Exile is a very complex product and need way more work to expect a decent league / content start and it seems there is a big problem here ( don't make me wrong i'm not talking about partners issues ).

I remember awakening with incredible bug ( map disconnect when too many entities around and then wasted ) at the start that has taken ages to be fixed for example or we can talk about performance drop when boxes has been released etc .. ( forum bug section for more info ). This is the kind of bug " too big " to be unsolved before start and impact on userbase is obviously bad.

If you read that GGG please do not take it personaly not saying your work is shit and i'm not in position to say anything like that but i would seriously recommend some more bêta assuming most of bugs has been reported in not even a week i think it worth the try.

Second thing i don't know how it can be even possible to work with a bug report system like that trought forum and reddit ( and others ).
A bug tracker would be really handy ( linked directly to the game in the best case for both players and you ).

Third thing is about " Prophecy " content.
Ultra fun for few days till you notice it's almost always about backtracking like lot of players reported it on forum and elsewhere.

Ultra fun but also ultra useless for a large part of them and i'm not even talking about doing some of them 10 times except if you wait to get enough silver coins to seal them.
Just no.

The xp boost are of course more than welcome specialy for masters that are always pointed as a boring stuff when it has to be done in each leagues.

I guess lot of players enjoyed the prophecy like Plaguemaw involving some different content than usual and a bit of story.
But what about having to get a 1 alch unique to kill a boss with ? You have to run trought a wall of afk on poe.trade first to get the item then going in the concerned zone and all of that for what ? a reward that barely worth the time invested.

Hard content is missing aswell Pale council fight is a ... yeah i can say it ! A joke.
I'm not really a good player even if i assume experience help a lot i really didn't expected beeing able to facecheck this room after few days. Remember when atziri has been released ? How many players failed at first attempt on it ? It was something like WOW this shit is hard ! and positive impact on userbase has been REALLY big it was possibly the best league ever.

In my opinion wich is basicaly my opinion feel free to like it or not .. the great part of this league is mostly around Uber Lab / Uniques / Challenge list.


Prophecy concept itself is a GREAT one and i have a fresh beer for the guy behind this idea but yeah it's " too much " maybe deleting some of them or replacing them with slightly more challenging content could bring back the fun for many players.

Uber pale council incoming ? ;)

Great day to you Exiles.

I am in the same boat as you. Not playing too much. Only level 64 with my first toon this league.
Having fun, and soon will be mapping.
I think the trick is to mix it up.

Pretty bored with Prophecy already.

It's the performance issues that kill it for me, or rather, I get killed to. Seriously, never had such bad issues before this league...any ideas on how to make it better?
