Announcing Path of Exile: Synthesis

The more I watch the video, the more it looks like the same concept as Incursion was. Incursion was NOT a great League.
But then again, the League has not started yet, soo...

Looks cool, but just not excited for it yet. Definitely not excited about GGG putting more stuff behind supporter packs. Kind of not making me want to buy them anymore and I have bought a lot of them, ever since Closed Beta all those years ago.

I hope the synthesis league will be better than the last league.

THE END OF THE PATH

As always every new expansion has its supporters and its critics.
In the end POE will always about grinding and its variations. I would have wished for a new act or something similar, maybe next time.

For me my "path" in Path of Exile (what a pun :-) is almost finished.
I have reached level 100 in standard last week which was always my main goal in this game.
Played over 800h with my char, I will never regret this time!

Path of Exile will always be something special to me, from time to time I will come back but at the time the road has come to an end in Wraeclast for me.

Thanks GGG for making this great game and all people who helped me to reach my final goal and make Allspark´s dream come true!

GRIND TO INFINITY!

I hit 100 about a month after Delve ended (reaching 99 in Delve) and I must say I felt like I finally “beat the game,” if you will. I felt like I could take it easy from that point on. Ofc I was just thrilled to see GGG introduce pure cheatstones to trivialize 100 right as I was slaving it in standard, but whatever. Every leagues seems to give you something for nothing and Betrayal will probably go down as the league that made it easy to hit 100.

Anyway congrats because I think I understand how you feel.

The amount of negative comments are remarkable. I mean 90% of all comments here is how bad this patch will be. And this is before they even read any patch notes or for that matter - played it. Of course you can leave any feedback you want to, but by a glance of most of these negative-feedbackers i discover a trend.

It seems that most of the "worst" critique/feedback comes from acoounts that are from what most players would call "underperforming" (i have inspected their accounts/characters/challange progress etc). Well, I get it that some people dont have time to play 12+ hours per week. But that does not mean that GGG have to adapt/make a game to suit casual gamers. Of course there must always be some sort of rewarding for grinding. If you are a casual player with low playing hours - dont bash just cause you have more important things to do in your life. There are plenty of other games which direct to the casual player. Just roll with a game like Apex of Legends or Dota 2.

BUT, you can still be a casual gamer and succeed in every content of the game/legue. You just have to play smart. I mean, i manage to play this under 12 hours a week and "complete" the content in a given patch (not level 100 though, have to work on that some day).
I started play POE in Harbringer Legue and i did not even visit the wiki. I ran around with non-working support gems for days (after i figured out that skills had to be linked, wich also took several days). I still had fun and enjoyed the game!

I think this patch looks awesome and I'm looking forward to it. I missed first 3 weeks of Betrayal legue due to traveling so this time i will be ready and free to play the whole weekend =)

As an SSF player, this is the first time a league kept me playing over the course of three months. I usually get bored after a month or so but the amount of content and the accessibility in SSF (first time I was able to beat Shaper this league as completing the Atlas in SSF was much more doable). I’m a casual player and don’t play more than one or two hours a day.

I think the game is way better balanced in SSF with current content and am excited to see what Synthesis brings. I think SSF is really a great way to experience this game and it’s never been better. Keep up the good work!

Right on.

when are you going to get rid of the shitty end game map hunt / extortion of currency just to play the game?

do that and i'll start to spend money again, otherwise, there's other games out there.

this will just continue to be a waste of time.

With new league every 3 months, then i wonder whar 4.0 will be!
Better gfx ( new engien )
Moreskillpoints?
More acts?
More maps?
Berserker dualwield 2H weapons.?

Hiw about ability to wield a wand with any other 1h weapon, i mean in real life you can easy hold a sword and wand, dagger/wand, just saying.

Anyways had to get it outofmy mind
