Sorry, I only whiteknight when I feel like unlike you who shitknight PoE in every possible thread (yet still plays this game LMFAO)

There's a saying "Hope is the last thing that dies", I fell in love with this game because I was a huge Diablo 2 fan back in the day, and I've been here for a long time now, it saddens me how much of a money grab this game has become, I don't play nearly as often as before and I'm tempted to uninstall and move on with things like Grim Dawn or similar but there's still that hope, Legacy/Breach and as of recent Delve league were the things that kept hope alive, it was a step in right direction, then they always shit on it and take 20 steps back.

I remember Chris talking about how he wants to make PoE "infinite" and it's quite laughable because they're trying to cripple this game down to one single thing "MAPPING" every single thing that has become fun for us old players is heavily gated behind MAPPING whatever the fook you want to do in this game you have to map for hours first before doing something else, after 6 years, it's gotten old bro. Delve was the first system which semi-replaced that chore, people loved it, and GGG took a massive shit on it.

You won't be "moving on" with Grim Dawn. It literally has zero endgame. All end game enemies are the same strength. Grim Dawn is like a spec of what PoE is.

Beat Grim Dawn and get level 100, grats there's nothing to do. You already killed every challenge there is. None of the challenges left are harder than the previous, and theyonly improve on loot you already do not need to beat a game you already beat.

Seriously Grim Dawn is the biggest turd I've ever seen. Don't waste your time.

Well, dayum, usually I come into these threads to scoff, but I actually agree with all the points. Emphatically.

Also, you know the league is suffering some retention issues when you log in during prime time and Global 1 is not full. That has not happened since Bestiary.

Pretty ded for me. Can't get through betrayal content without lag spikes and freezes. FIX YOUR MOTHERFUCKING GAME ALREADY YOU LAZY [Removed by Support]

my main problem with this league that suddenly i am forced to do all activities, otherwise the game feels extremely unrewarding, maps are unsustainable, profits are super low. i dont want to run temple, nexus and other boring SHIT, give me some mobs to kill on maps and more loot, isnt that hard? thats why im waiting for the event, really thats where the fun begins.

The league was "meh" even after the patch and having two tedious league mechanics in a row burned me out so fast.
And Betrayal is still garbage - the thought of having to unveil mods every single league makes me nauseous. This shit has no place in the core game, they better get rid of it in 4.0. I hate it with passion.

And what do you think will change this "event"? Nexus and other boring shit will be still there, you will still have to unveil thousands of items to be able to craft, make a temple to get the remaining recipes, go to deep Delve for the others. The only thing they can do is to buff map drops on maps so that people do not have to bother with the nexus. The effect will be that you will be burn out after a week, then bots screw economy and you will not even want to start a new league, because there will also be recipes hidden behind Betrayal, there will be Temple too, and if you have bad luck, Synthesis will be added to the core game, with other recipes hidden there, so you can not skip it.

its true
it´s damn true
the old masters were not awesome but it was ok, the idea of having new masters is also nice, but do not put recipes behind a wall most of the players cannot achieve in short league time, while others can do in some days. At least make it achieveable for all.
I like new crafting, but not so hard binded on new masters, how about getting recipes in maps Tier 1-12. This is not easy but it is okay for most players in league time.
With so much old league contents here and there, you are missing the core game. Lets say. this league was not too bad, if you take experience from it. But please no new master from this mechanic, maybe even let syndicate go. We will not miss it.

turmoil/mayhem/flashback event - more mobs to kill, more loot - more fun.
but i kind of agree with you in the sense that the game is rotten in core at this moment, full of tedius stuff that doesnt add any fun, its more like putting spokes in wheels by devs.
but the game always been like this, its just most of playerbase didnt notice this or got use to this.
for example, how about changing obligatory boring ass 10 acts of storyline per character for some kind of adventure mode? how about changing tedius skill point quests, pantheons completions, LAB? AH for currency,maps? death penalty? see? the game always been convoluted with fun-sucking features, its just added up to some critical mass at this point.

Not exactly. Until Betrayal you could choose which cintent suits you and which one does not, Masters levelling was boring as hell, but available to everyone, regardless of whether he is a veteran or a beginner. In addition, you did not have to levelling each of them. You could have one or two at level 8, others at level 6, and others at level 4, depending on what you just needed.

Now it has changed. Players MUST fight Syndicate, because it appears on the maps and attacks, it is impossible to avoid it and, moreover, crafting recipes are hidden behind this. This, and tons of RNG, as if the Syndicate alone was not sufficiently annoying. Players MUST do Delve, because oll former Vorici's recipes are hidden there and MUST do Temple (in fact I even don't know, what recipes are hidden there) and level some useless rooms there to get recipe.

Not to mention the fact that players MUST fight the monsters of Bestiary, because they randomly appear on the maps and you can either lose or fight these maps, which for me is terribly onerous. I do not have a problem with them, I just hate these fights. In my case it worked out a deterrent. Turmoil / mayhem? No, thanks. New league? No, thanks.

And that's not all, because in 6 months, exactly at the time when another league will start in PoE, there will be the premiere of Borderlands 3. How many people will want to become free beta testers, when for the price of one "better" supporter pack they will get a complete arcade shooter from "shoot and loot" genre, with an annual season pass?
