The Harbinger League Challenges and Rewards

Ooo and it looks like you've really settled into your final form for league challenges: "36 is attainable for most anyone who tries for it, 40 for the prestige".

That's the way it should be IMO.

Legacy challenges, I only did 24 because IMO beyond that was just ridiculous RNG and/or time consuming nonsense. Doubling the league length didn't entice me to try either.

If anyone reading this found Legacy fun, well, I'm glad someone did.

Looks really good! I cant wait for the league!

Oh wow, the boss kills with certain precautions is kind of cool!

Yep, huge fan of those, hope we get them more and more as the leagues keep coming.

P.S. lol @ everyone who complains about free mtx, there used to be time when all you got was...exactly nothing.

Pretty pumped for league start. Harbinger looks to be a mix of Perandus/Breach/Torment, which could be a lot of fun.

+1 for the bad MTX. I'll be going for 36 challenges as usual, but will only wear the eyes ... ever. I could care less about the crown than the aura effect. There are so many alternatives for gear. But not a ton of aura effects. Kind of a shame because blue could have been used well for lightning/ice themes.

Eyes looks very nice:). Other challenge rewards are kind of funny. But will do 36 anyway ;)

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!

Act 9 and 10 boss revealed!

Defeat 1337 map bosses? What programmer decided to leet on this one? lol

no thanks GGG I'm still sane

40s will go for 40s no matter what.

Or, unless, y'know they decide to skip investing much/any time. Already saw someone who said they'd likely downgrade to 36/40, and then there's me, a 40/40 player who skipped the past three leagues.

They do it to create demand for end-game access items (keys, frags, etc). Otherwise, people might never play them for the drops alone. Even if a small fragment of the population aims for those, they suck up all the building materials for that content.

Naw, it's mostly GGG's attempt to retain streamers. It's also why they repeatedly nerfed EXP gains to where level 100 is impossible without countless hours of mind-numbing repetition of stuff like Shaped Strand.

The economy itself is usually wrecked thanks to a few arbitrary challenge bottlenecks. They HAVE gotten not as bad as before (the "identify these multi-exalt uniques" bit was dumb) but still retain some issues, including the 3 I highlighted.

And yes, that will affect the economy even worse, because it *is* content that is already used a good bit, but will be strained even more.

I really like the "cartoony" dark style of those challenge rewards, good to see something else than portal/weapon/footprint effect.
