very bad league ;(

Yeahhh after the weapon effect I'm peaced out too. Usually I reroll a bunch of times but this time around I was bored after 2 builds and there's barely any new skills or passives to try out. It didn't help that a lot of the prophecies aren't even prophecies, but are simply orders to go do something in areas way lower than you. That STILL wouldn't be so bad but it costs like 7 coins to throw away this shit and even though I barely picked up prophecies at the end, I never had more than 200 coins and you can easily blow through that in an hour or two with all the pointless and frequently occurring "prophecies" there are.
after 'all the kids get rewards no matter how bad they are' league.. no wonder why people 'not like it'

no more freebies and people are expected to make CHOICES! oh noes!

do not like the prophecies - do not do them. run your hamster wheel (blue map rotas) and be happy with that

you expected freebies

Problem is with Zana. As i said - must be nerfed. There are so may liers here. They tell fancy stories about how they sustain map pool. But they are just to laugh at. Nothing to do with reality. Reality is u need Zana 8. Zana 8 is made MUST HAVE. This is wrong. Because before i have no zana 8 i'm stuck in t7 maps.


what the hell, i've sell over 15 ex worth on map 1st week prophecy, even with solo play and my zana only lv 6. Learn to use prophecy/ reroll maps zz

What was the point of your reply, again?

On topic: It seems that backtracking is a problem - even when going from Normal to Cruel, I already had to go back, untick the "Normal Only" Prophecies, and move to Cruel. Seems like it isn't worth to even get Prohpecies until you get to Merciless... :/

the normal/cruel and cruel/merc prophecies are pretty much the only issue

i understand the 'economic pressure' they create but in fact they only make people not pick prophecies in act4 of normal and cruel (missing out on chains probably..)

other than that it was a blast when leveling. and the ones i have now (lvl70, just died to merc lab.. the white monsters :/ shame) are intersting


general note on what people understand as fun:

FUN:
- free loot
- rewards without effort
- being a winner all the time
- right click gameplay proving they are 'good'

UNFUN:
- challenge
- effort
- choices

This is, sadly, quite accurate... :(

While I know you're generalising, it is certainly not challenging or effort to go and kill a boss or spawned mobs 20 levels lower than us, or to read something, or having to reset a low level instance multiple times to get a level 10 unique. Even while leveling, you get told to backtrack already so people quickly burn out of this stuff, reward or not. Yes, you can chose to skip the Prophecy mechanic entirely, but then you're playing PoE exactly the same as you did last time (except they haven't even added mechanics from the last two leagues in). People come back to try the new stuff and see what has changed and honestly, 2.3.0 didn't change much, gameplay wise, even compared to Talisman which was another "small" patch in the large -> small -> large -> small cycle they've got going.

just ignore prophecies.
you will do them eventually through mapping, and sealing bosses is just 4 coins.

but... if one ignores prophecies what's the point of playing the league?

i think PC is GREAT idea, but poor design, it is just little quests, not prophecies.
No rest for the wicked

Oh no, that guy again. ^^ I told you before and I'll tell you again, if you can not built a proper map pool without Zana there is only one player to laugh at. It's not that there are thousands of liars it is just you that is so terribad! ;o)
