So Abyss looks rather boring ... what to do...

Wondering if i should just take 3 months off or currency flip in standard until the following league..

Abyss looks rather boring compared to Legacy, breach or even harb... the Turmoil race was awesome TBH and would love a league like that or even a SSF turmoil league off to the side, self contained and not able to be merged with even std i wouldnt mind.

I am sure i am not alone in this opinion but still may not be the majority here but when i look at a league like abyss all i see is a marginal % change to the core game, which has been done with patches prior

People were praising harbinger before it came out and it was pretty awful even after several patches. Wait two weeks and give it a shot, you don't really know how something is until you experience it.

I care more about the diversity and power of the abyssal jewels and abyssal unique than the league mechanic itself. Based on the reveal so far abyss league looks like a lot of babysitting and waiting.

We have to come to term that breach league was a stroke of genius GGG will likely never top. Where else has GGG ever to manage to combine combat tension with risk and reward for even a moment.

valid point, if the guardians or shaper dropped uniques or had a low probability chance to drop a HH like unique a point could be made there for risk vs reward but that portion of the game is not essential for players who farm anyways since there is little payoff.

same will go for abyss based upon the information we have for now. Legacy league and turmoil mechanics were fun and diverse that those leagues were also different enough from standard to keep us entertained and willing to level a whole new character in a new economy.

abyss jewels blah, not OP enough and abyss uniques are no different then supporter uniques coming out every other patch imo

They do.

I think it will probably be ok simply because it looks to have some similarity to breach and harbinger endgame retention was poor sans beachhead so ggg want a good league for end game patch. On the other hand with those jewels and Vaal pact nerf brace yourselves for the facebreaker ancestral warchief meta zzzz.

any of those could easily be nefed

(I'M 90% sure berserker will get nerfed for example)

Well flat damage is the main issue with the jewels, it's just vaal pact nerf will prob push totem builds forward for a bit.

I don't give a fuck I just want my 40/40 be rich then shit on elders face.

Dookie on that ''foo''
