My thoughts on the last league

First off, the red map drop rate is so horrid and outbalanced it's not even funny. This totally ruined the end game for my friends and I. This is the first league that I had to buy 95% of ALL my red maps and STILL did not complete my atlas. Not a SINGLE Minotaur, Hydra or Phoenix map drop the entire league.Over 1000 Yellow maps and about 5 red maps total. You can't tell me there's nothing wrong with the drop rates. This totally ruined this league as there was no end game. Was so damn boring running yellow maps every day. And I also gave up on upgrading my maps to red ones because there are ZERO returns.

Not a single 2 socketed Abyss item drop. Oh look, a crack. Damn it opened a depth. Finish depth oh look another spire...or oh look there's a Lich here's your stygian belt.

Buff unique stronboxes. Especially the Diviners. That must me some kind of joke. I remember getting so excited the first time I saw one. Boy was I disappointed. There is no reason a rare strongbox should give WAY better rewards than a unique.

This is the first league that I actually have given up on since the goals and end game are not reachable to your "average" casual player. If your going to give league achievements, please make sure they are obtainable without having to buy everything from other players.

I sure hope next league isn't like this. If it is, looks like it will be standard from now on. Not that the map drop rates are any different. At lease I have a large pool of maps to play from over the years.

+1

As far as i know they said that next league is desinged for the "hardest of the hardcore" and for people that play "16h a day". They said that on one of the interviews with gaming press, you can check it in the bestiary announcement. Some of those beasts are gonna be just as rare as the two socketed abyss item so don't get your hopes too high.

I dont mind killing things, but caging and sacraficing is hanable creepy in design.

Next league is going to suck, vorici open chest missions with a net. 3months maybe long enough to sort standard stash.

Abyss will look like breach in a few months, not killing isnt part of the genre.

Hope 3.4 isnt focused on escort quests with golem like ai
