Does anyone else feel incredibly bored of Prophecy?

Iam ultra casual this time raising my blockchance as high as it can get so those shitty dcs lags crashes wont kill me

Everyone who saw the newest projectpt rip has to admit that the game is in a really bad state right now


Game improvements my ass best performance is still with --nosound

- Prophecy mechanics arn't that great/interesting
- every build feels god damn overpowered no matter what you do
- game content feels to easy to complete (there is no real goal/challenge to strife for i feel)

- the performance issues/client crashes/frame drops kills it for me completly


To me the insane power kreep and the lack of real challenging encounters i can strife for really make me losing my interest in playing this game more and more. The pale council isn't really challenging nd drops more overpowered loot which makes the game easier again on top of all that power creep that already was there.
There are builds that can oneshot all endgame bosses and trivialize that content completly - that isn't fun for me at least.


GGG really has to focus on performance and stability of there game in solo and party play. PoE needs to achieve at least 60fps, stable at all times solo and full party, without lag, crashes and stuttering to have a future in the online game market. If net even a new gen 2000$ PC setup can handle this game what should an avarege user even do - also there are many players with older gen hardware which play PoE (which represents a significant margin of the player base)

If the are not able to fix all there performance issues by the end of this year i can see this game die really quickly, regardless of content comming up.

Disabling sound helps?

I still didnt play yet

I actually enjoy the league but i miss the old leagues where they added difficulty to it.

This time around they just added something nice but no added challenge.

Some of map prophecies take way too long to activate. I've had the open 6 strongboxes prophecies for over 10 maps now

.

I enjoy many of them but some of them are rather annoying. I've gotten at least 7 of "the ward's ward" to kill a goat shaman for karui ward amulet. It was good to get the one to sell 5 uniques as I unloaded them and kept the better ones in the event I get the upgrade quest for it.

The chain quest ones are the best. I would do that 5 part rogue exile one every day if I could. That one was fun as hell.

Leveled a character to 85+.. did some prophecies, but most of them are dumb and pretty weak.
Kill a rare mob somewhere, it drops a unique item... Could have been awesomely done by saying "next map you play one random rare carries a specific unique".. simple and would work naturally... all this chasing and backtracking for an item that you wouldnt pick up to vendor... boring..

Prophecy chains would be awesome if one could rely on getting them.
RNG nonsense to even start doing things.

Tempest was an awesome league... SHIT WILL HAPPEN WHEREVER YOU GO... adds challenge and randomness...
Prophecies would have been awesome if they were free... aka no coins to collect.

2 leagues in a row with coin collecting mechanic...

I could go on and on... feels like standard, and because most of the people are bored its even worse since all my friends who only play temp leagues are gone already...

Ill try to muster up my willpower to roll another char.. but stopped my facebreaker at 40+ out of boredom...

And dont get me started on the uber lab with random trials that cant be found...
RNG piled on RNG spiced up with RNG that is weighted against the player. Whats not to love, eh?

cheers

wow, and here i was thinking that i was the only one finding the new league under-whelming (so much so that i've returned to playing standard on my main account).

prophecy's not a "bad" league, but having to collect another type of coin in the hope of trading them in for something cool right after perandus made me think this is quite a lazy idea. and coupled with the so-called "performance improvements" that, aside from starting the game up quicker, i've not really noticed (my frame rates still suck). the crashiness that happened because i used predictive mode when i started prophecy on day one, left a VERY bad taste in my mouth (yes, it got fixed quickly but how was this not noticed in testing!???!).

perhaps i'm also a little burned-out, as i just can't bring myself to start over and suffer through normal + cruel with mostly garbage gear when i have all my past-league-cool-and-shiny toys to use in standard. i wish they had rolled prophecy (albeit with lesser quests) into standard, so we could play it with higher-level characters + nicer gear...
