Patch fix: Betrayal content has been removed from the game.

Glad i enjoyed PoE before it was tainted and corrupted by triggered redditors.

I rarely run into them on maps. Im actually surprised how i want to see them more in maps

I'm on a 1950X w/ 32G of quad channel ddr4 running at 3600, a 1070, NVME ssd, and a wired gig internet that hovers around 10ms, and I still get a momentary hiccup on betrayal spawns, granted it only lasts a very short time but it is jarring none the less. couple that with them being massively overtuned, it usually ends in a bad experience.

Even EA beta tests their garbage. This all could have been avoided if GGG put in at least that minimal effort.

My only problem with betrayal is the intervention spawning in the way of transportation. I think we should be able to choose between 1 to 3 syndicate in a map. Choosing more in a map could give a little boost to item rarity and quantity.

The whole point of the Syndicate is that it is an ongoing crime organization that is working in the background and their involvement is their own, not the player's. The player choice is about how to social engineer changes to the syndicate, not decide whether it should exist at all or not.

You're already supposed to be able to make choices to keep syndicate branches as weak but with fewer rewards. That's how you're supposed to make the mechanic easier for yourself: Don't rank up members, don't let them become trusted, don't have more than one in a branch, and destroy their items when you can.

They can "beta test their shit" before giving it to us. They would also need to change their schedule from new expansion every 3 months to new expansion every 4-5 months. Maybe you would like it. However looking how leagues are dead after 2 months I dont think majority of players would like the idea.

Oh i am not bashing the betrayal mechanic i know that you are supposed to manipulate. I tough that they always spawned 3 syndicate event on a map but i discovered that its only on daily mission.

I didnt got one shoted but I play tanky as in dont enter maps w/o at least 4500 life and it goes up from there...You're not pointing out the problem I have with Betrayal and it's a huge problem.

How about picking up 1 million totally useless rares then unveil then sell to get recipes? Now made 3x harder because she only appears in 10% of maps albeit 3x a instance. I play SSF and never picked up so many rares as that league just to get recipes. And never got them all or even close at 92 last league. Now made 3x harder.

Actually all these newer leagues (GGG calls them gen 3) are just tedius, and unrewarding timesinks. I'm watching SSFHC streams and guys about to clip 100 don't even fuck with them. Just map.

The feedback of 90% of the community is to remove it.

At the start of the league where a bit over 170.000 players, please do me the favor and show me the 153.000 posts (your 90%) where different people complain about betrayal, now that would be a cool trick.

I don't care about Betrayal or Incursion stuff personally, but one is substantially easier to bypass.
