syndicate should go core, and for completely wrong reasons

"

Maramoa tells you to kill Gravy Sauce.

I laughed so hard. Since my buddy and I can never pronounce his name, from here on out he is Gravy Sauce!

The whole thing was great.

PoE has no main villain in its story.

Well that is partly wrong and partly true.

Dominus was a self proclaimeed god that happends to be corrupted.

After you wash all influence of The Beast, a guy named Sins appear to save you from an old mighty god : Kitava.

With the "help" of Sins, you defeat KItava (a god).

So likely, you are more powerfull than a God.

In the meantime, you vaguely hear about an ancient civilization that had great power and acquire a part of that power (vaal gems which are corrupted).

So to defeat a corrupted God, you become a human being with corrupted powers at you hand.

Is that a motivation to have the masters betray you and seek and old artifact to become immortal to be able to fight you because you are becoming the villain ?

Betrayal = convoluted league with it's many items, special UI menu and slowing you down all the time... also confusing to many people. Should not go core. Just raise sulphite acquisition in 3.6 and we good!

I respectfully disagree with that statement.

I experienced no slow down in my gameplay sessions, in fact it was really fun.

Some opportunites with syndicate benchmarks are good, some are OP and need balance.

How it would confuse so many people ? Because they are not reading, learning the mechanics of the league ? It took me a few days to catch how the syndicate was working maybe because i have expereinced the Nemesis System before in other games.

In my opinion (subjective by default) some mechanics should bee reworked to make it core.If you want some more insights of what i think, go read the thread in my signature. You will find why and how Betrayal should be reworked to go core.

It was a fun league and my best league to date.

By slowing down, i mean interacting with the annoying syndicate UI.

Based on what i've seen on forums/reddit, i'd say plenty of ppl were confused etc. and took a while to make sense of the system.

I skipped this entire league based on the trailer, it looked convoluted there already. Faragments, special UIs, slowing you down etc. I wanna kill mobs and get loot like Breach, not play Sherlock Holems in an arpg :) I cba to read some thread tbh, cos i don't care at all for this league. Hoping it won't go core. We can ofc have varying opinions on this.
