Most of Leaguestones are...But well you can still enjoy Breach + Beyond. Sigh.

The league seems boring, stones are too toned down. By the end of the league i would maybe have gathered enough perandus coins for 1 purchase, if i ever meet cardio. Also, i dint ever see chayula last league, why would i ever now that is it so much harder to find breaches.

I would much rather just have another original perandus league than the mess we got now.

Love the new M-box, got no money though...

That's what I was talking about, if it changes the way I normally play the game it's a good league in my book.

Talisman mods are pretty sweet, all talismans are rare is great and talismans drop one tier higher is the same as dropping five at once. Batter than regular talisman was.

Yeah i really regretted skipping talisman league, i just assumed (with 3 months other ppl farming) i'd be able to buy a +1 zombie or socketed amulet once the league ended.

Like you (i think, not re-reading) pointed out earlier, most of the league stones do fully represent the actual league. But, since they have been integrated into the main game in slightly watered down forms they dont add anything 'special' on their own.

I use Prophesy as an example, you had 1 coin on average drop, plus all the prophesies which was the main content. Since thats all in standard, people are overlooking the prophesies and just focusing on the coin.

It'd be a *COMPLETELY* different story if all past league content was locked behind the league stone. Dont have ambush active? welp no strongboxes for you. No anarchy? can't see or roll rogue exiles in boxes if you are running ambush. Some of it is (breach, invasion) and funnily enough those are the ones that people think are decent.

If the full content of the league was locked in the stones, they would have much greater impact. I'm sure GGG considered this in design (for maybe 1-3 seconds) but you can imagine how empty the game would feel without all the 'standard' past league stuff thats active all the time now.

I can't imagine why anyone is unhappy with this league. Leveling has never been this enjoyable. And once you make it to maps, you can enjoy a ton of excellent map mods without dumping chaos. One week in, this is definitely my favorite league.

I had one of the most fun experiences in PoE to date. Ran these stones expecting two exiles, bam! 22 exiles :) Was really intense and fun (never actually played tempest league). Sadly no 6Ls, just two 5Ls I dont need.

White stones are mostly boring, but blue ones can really add a lot of fun. Random prophecies, extra invasion bosses, etc.. IMO just make all the stones drop blue with affixes and GG, perfect league.

Problem is this Anarchy Leaguestone is rare af and will worth like 2 ex or more on the Market. Good Leaguestones that actually don't feel like "Meh" are rare and gated behind RNG or Trade. And even then most of actually fun Leaguestones will be nerfed, because we all know GGG.

Same as above. Some Blue Leaguestones are good indeed.

Another thing that annoyngs me is that I need blue Talisman to have a chance for Stone Circle spawn...again, wut? I never seen one so far and get full tab of Talismans (with many of them being useless as their item level is meh).

"Slightly watered down"
Perandus Leaguestone have no chance to spawn Cadiro whatsoever, despite brodeals were main fucking selling point of Peradus League and only 1 box at a time.
Prophecie Leaguestone has 1 coin. LOL.
Essence Leaguestone - only 1 Essence pack, even though we were getting multiple packs on regular basis. Hell, even after Essence we are still getting like 1 Essece per 2 instances.

You are such an optimist, wow.

Maybe you want to actually read this Thread. TL:DR most Leaguestones represent massively nerfed version of corresponding League and have from little to no Presence. Most Leaguestones add singular pack / mob and even then you are most likely already encounter it on regular basis in Core Game (Exiles, Shrines, Invasion bosses, etc. etc.) and you won't even notice that you play League until locate them. It's essentially playing Standard most of the time. Blue Leaguestones can be interesting but they are gated behind RNG or Trade. Most of Leaguestones are boring and all you feel about them is "Meh", you can't relate to them in any meaningful way. This is the first League ever where fun (good rolled Blue Leaguestones) is actually gated behind RNG or trade.

They should at least buff white Leaguestones.

You get the chance for a stone circle on white talisman stones, though it only spawns in outdoor areas. Maybe you missed them with the way they blend in, one with the nature and all that :)

No, he is completely right. The league stones are either what the previous league was, pretty much exactly or more in case they are blue.

The issue is that it lacks impact nowadays, because many of those mechanics were integrated into the base game. That doesnt mean that "it was so much better back then", it means that we are spoiled by all the content that is in already.

And seriously, i am getting way, way more essences than i ever did in essence league. You are forgetting that you get the one guaranteed by the leaguestone, and then can more naturally spawning. In adition to that, essences dropping in maps are way higher level than back then.

Fat dude not spawning with the old leaguestones is true, but with the new ones he does once every leaguestone or so on average. Was an oversight on GGGs part to be sure, but he spawns more frequently than back in Parandus if anything now.

If you hate the league that much, you can always just not play.

Noticed that too, probably because monsters spawn with more of them, back in Essence you'd get monsters with one essence most of the time, sometimes two and three was 1/20 or less. They buffed it when they merged it with the core game so you're getting three essences really often now, makes the encounters harder but it's rewarding at least.

^Raics, you would buy the "anarchy's end" prophecy and the "next map contains four additional exiles" prophecy's if your not in the SSF league.

You can probably stack around 10 exiles a map with ambush boxed rolled for it. :))

Gotta get that 6-link \o/

Peace,

edit : anybody know if an essence magical leaguestone can have "corrupted essence" as a modifier?
I'm looking for insanity essence in SSF, but the chances are "low" to say the least :D.

I'm not, but I'm trying to keep my shopping ventures out of mundane things, like maps and everything that goes with it :)

It's a pretty good idea, though, someone else should try it.
