As a Casual, I am sad that Synthesis is ending so soon

There is a mode for you already present... Standard. You can play there as long as you would like and your characters wont be taken away from you.

you have your 36 challenges and your HH what more could you want to accomplish? 3 months is fine for leagues

I'm fairly certain using a headhunter as your measuring stick automatically excludes you from being a casual

No actually playing the game infrequently makes you a casual.

? The only way to get a HH playing infrequently is luck which is why I included it, it isn't possible to get 36 challenges playing infrequently.

I'd agree with your terminology, but a HH and 36 challenges aren't obtained by playing infrequently. OP may have only clocked in say 2 hours a day instead of the marathons many other players do but 100 hours is 100 hours *shrugs*

Lol I never had a HH, am I more casual than you?

i never had a HH and play since beta! guess i never got lucky. and i play a lot *shrug*

What does literal HH have to do with determining who is casual?

A casual will play say less than 2 hours a day on average and will obtain a HH 2 months into the league.

A hardcore nolifer will play 10 hours a day on average and will obtain a HH 2 weeks into the league.

A causal is happy to finally get a HH, but beacuse GGG is pushing new supporter packs, there is not enough time to enjoy using a HH in the league. Thus GGG hurts the enjoyment of a casual player.

A bit off-topic, but I urge you to try and get a HH next league, it's the most broken item in the game, a literal game-changer, especially if you like mapping.

they are hurting casuals indeed. i agree with you


and its very sad because so much work was put into synthesis
for 3 months league. whole new content and mechanics. some lore, crafting system (that my small brain still cant handle) nexus blocking and other things

it was a fun league but not rewarding for a sunday players like me


i am waiting for new league, synthesis could be better done but its too late now

@ 36/40 makarsk1, who said (among other interestingly ridiculous things or ridiculously interesting things):

"...And as a casual... obtaining a Headhunter and such... Standard is NOT an alternative to a league play, being too shallow, too unrewarding, with not enough people to play, with dead economy and inflated prices..."


I've read some pretty ridiculous stuff over the years in this here forum but people never cease to amaze me.

10/10 to the OP from the bottom of mine heart!
Keep it up mate, that's the spirit.

Standard economy is not dead. Just flipping currency you can easily make 50 ex day. You just cant save trash like you can in league and try and sell it. 1ex and over tabs only.

Then again real casuals play there so they need leveling gear too so maybe I'm wrong about that. To me selling anything less than 1ex isnt worth it though
