Incursion timer too short

Agreed, even though I didn't play much yet, the incursions I did came and went in a single breath. Even when I killed the Architect it sort of is the last thing I could do before teleporting out. The whole thing seems fun though, I look forward to more. With some QoL changes coming along the way hopefully.

Extreme speedrunning isn't always fun. I don't mind being on a timer but don't make it too short for the more casual players.

I agree. Clearspeed nutjobs will laugh, but the core mechanic of a league shouldn't be exclusive to them. I'm not totally incompetent, so I don't expect total failure. That's what I've been getting on my past several incursions. The difficulty in them seems to ramp up much faster than the zones they're in.

For reference, build is a little baby summoner that wants to wear The Baron someday.

It isn't just clearspeed nutjobs laughing.

I'm playing a clear speed build got plenty of mobility and run in with 3 haste pots and I still have issues. I remember I smashed one room in record speed and still had barely any time to react and kill that 1 pack that might have had a stone. And even if I got to that last pack I still would have had to sprint dash, TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP to open the correct door that connects to the room I had planned on going to.

Simply put, even with a good starter, and even if you twinked it, you're gonna have issues because the amount of bonus time you get is grains of sand at best, even if you down the boss in 3 seconds...

The only build I can think of that would absolutely smash everything and still have enough time to pick up a stone and open the correct door with minimal effort would be deadeye wander or archer builds with massive frenzy charges and attack speed boosts, and a god tier flicker strike build. Which.... should send red flags left and right. If it takes 1 specific class or build to participate in a league mechanic we end up looking just like bestiary where bossing builds reign supreme because of the sheer amount of mods and damage needed to down beasts.
We get the opposite, where not only do you need that boss damage to drop that 1 boss. You also need tons of move speed to reach stones, farm packs of mobs and turn the damn stone in to the correct door in time.

Agree.
Managed to open 5 or so passages.
10+ times I drop the passage stone 1 meter from the next passage with 0 second left, using both quicksilver flask and whirling blades.

+1

If anything is going to wreck the first impression of PoE for new players, it'll be them trying hard to understand the mechanic, and then the mechanic just (figuratively) laughing and taking a dump on them, over and over.

I know it's frustrating the hell out of me, and I am not short on damage.

Hey... I thought GGG was trying to discourage the clearspeed meta?

If anything, this league makes it pretty clear to me that they're trying to push everyone to autobombers. It isn't enough to insta the packs, you have to insta them while moving at all times.

Yep , this league worse than bestiary

There's no fucking time to explore anything!!!

I mean, 10 seconds LOL?

while leveling, with no MS, no movement skills and no DPS, how are we supposed to get to know this system?

I was doing fire traps trickster, which can progress, but can't dps down those mobs fast enough, so I can actually MOVE between room parts in an incursion.

20 SECONDS

that is the number

It's ridiculous. Timer is dumb as fuck.

+ 1, timer too short.

Killing barely adds time.

strange...for me it works very well.

1.) there is nothing to explore in the 10 secs maps - they are super small! you see the layout of the little map, check what the architects can offer and plan ahead before going in.

2.) most of the time u can only do one thing:
- open a pasage
- or kill an architect
...seldom u can manage to do both things.


I play lightning trap shadow and have had ZERO issues.
