The Harbinger League Challenges and Rewards

The posts that say "worst MTX rewards ever, not playing..." really surprise me. I didn't realize there were people out there that play POE only for those 3 free MTX, lol. I don't care for the MTX rewards but you better believe I'm playing!!

I do agree that the challenge to accomplish certain things in boss fights is a great challenge. Throw more of these types of challenges in the future.

I don't believe anyone is really quitting because the MTXs are garbage, they are just trolls and are over exaggerating lol. However I am disappointed by the MTXs; you'd think for such a huge expansion and league that they would release a good set of rewards, especially considering this will be the first league for the Xbox version. Oh well, doesn't particularly matter to me personally as it would take a truly godly MTX set to take me away from my Gloom set. Just not really incentivised to do the challenges because the MTXs are garbage.

I usually play the leagues for reasons other than getting the MTX because to me there are many fun things to do in these leagues. The Harbinger stuff in this league looks like a lot of fun. Just add that to the expansion stuff and I doubt I will play anything else for a while.

Of course, I play the leagues for the fresh economy and for the actual league mechanics. However I'm talking about doing the actual league challenges. In which case for this league I see little to no reason to do them unless you are bored, because the MTXs aren't worth wearing.

Go for the eyes!
Also 3.0 Hype

I really just can't get over how lazy and uninspired these designs are. This is the kind of thing I'd expect from a one-man dev team that just released their game in early access.

Sincerely hoping the 24 and 36 rewards get completely redesigned. I would not admit to my friends that I play this game if they saw these graphics.

Any word on the updates to Steam achievements?

Quess GGG should change those crown and character effect. Its not so hard,even if there too many work to upcoming expansion, huh? Maybe say something like : "Due to many players request we decide to update mtx rewars to be more reasonable, tnx for all your suggestions". At least we all knows that GGG staff is most player friendly it the world.

This so far the worst MTX in all of the leagues. Shame

How do you know what zana offers for map mods? Is it always the same? For example can I get anarchy league items this league coming up by rolling it still or no?

Complete these endgame grinds
Do you never learn, GGG? I mean, seriously, the best ANY SSF managed was 38/40 last league, when you had 2 extra months. This is the DUMBEST challenge, and I don't think there's ANYONE who's ever gotten a 40/40 that will tell you it was a great idea. No, people who did it just did it because they HAD to, as it was what was keeping them from 39/40 to 40/40. I KNOW you're trying to keep your handful of pro streamers on your game longer, but this is NOT the way about it.

Seriously.

emphasis mine

It's a great idea. Sorry for proving you wrong. This is a challenge league. It's not meant to be a "stable" or "standard" league. You play it to complete challenges. Just because other people treat it like a regular league shouldn't take away from why many people play challenge leagues. It forces you to do more than just grind, you need to be clever, to learn the markets, to buy-and-sell, to plan. It forces you to be aware of different mechanics. It forces you to get better.

People used to complete these ridiculous challenges to get something.
Why would I do them now ? They look pretty weird.

Because the game is fun. They're pretty different than previous mtx rewards too, which is insanely refreshing. You can only have so many colored glow effects before it starts to feel derivative. Finally they're doing something fun with shapes.

And here I think they look great. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean everyone agrees with you. There have been many league rewards I didn't much care for, but you know what I didn't do? Spout off on the forums telling GGG they should scrap it and start over. Do you really think they're lazy? Who else pushes out 6 new acts in one expansion? For free? WHO? Here they finally do an mtx that isn't some boring glow or flame and everyone who thinks everything needs to be skulls and burning demons comes out to tell them out bad they are and how there's no point to play the league. Pitiful.






To everyone who complains that there is no reason to do the challenges because the rewards "suck", which I couldn't disagree more, then you are missing the entire point of challenges. You feel so entitled to some stupid pat on the back for playing a game. Perhaps you need to take a step back and really think about why you play this game if the reward of good free mtx is the only reason you play. Challenge should be about enjoying the game, pushing yourself further than last league, trying new things. If you're someone who thinks they're too easy add a self-imposed-rule like trying hardcore or aiming for zero-deaths in softcore, play solo self-found, or add time restrictions per character before rerolling. The point is find what you enjoy in this game and do it, but don't force those of us who genuinely enjoy the game to sit through your "critique" because you only care about the handouts at the end of the league.
