Why did everyone hate Synthesis?

Only good thing about Synthesis was the soundtrack

Mechanically it was too much(puzzle AND crafting). Graphically it was a big success however.

Slowed my roll. Too much tedium.,
Are we forgetting you can beat this game with 100c and a tabula rasa? So begs question WTF do I need to do this tedious shit for? You guys must have lots of time to waste. Actually most Gen 3 is totally fucked up tedium. Not fun. Only ones I liked were the mines league (infinite scaling) and the abyss league (just a little pack over here that didnt fuck with my maps too much). PS Lab STILL Sucks too but thankfully I only have to fuck with that 4x but still wastes 30 minutes of my life Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Nov 7, 2019, 9:46:46 PM

I'll try to answer the original question... I think it was because they didn't reward the playstyle that people had grown accustom to, and rewarded players who adopted a new style of play instead.
Some people love that. Some hate it. Haters won. I personally ignored it after the first week or so... never getting into the crafting aspects of the league, or the puzzle aspects. I'd run a few areas now and then and say "what's the point?". Never got the "end game"... never even got to where I played the tile game other than to path to a node or two to see what was there. Just didn't get it. I didn't hate the league. It was just a zero. Didn't alter my play much at all. |

Problem with synthesis was that it distracts you from your end game map grind and all the things that involves needing a map to happen (Master mission and Trials, Elder mainly) and a serious mechanical flaw that they never actually spend a few minutes to iron out before launching (Why does synth item only ever drops from decaying memory? If your whole league was centered around synth item, then don't you think ppl just going to waste the memory until it decays and start killing shits there? But decaying memory gave you almost no time to actually obtain those items??) By the time they realize what a disaster the league was it was too late.
The league content was fun and not bad imo, the execution of the league as a whole was however abysmally carried out. "The launch day went quite well with just a few small hotfixes to address minor problems." Heist League - GGG Last edited by nononononono#1480 on Nov 10, 2019, 12:41:34 PM

I skipped Synthesis and chilled aín standard i have now expierenced the nice bosses. Looks like it was a great Legaue if those boss encounters were more frequent.

" I think they were pretty frequent. I was playing the game blind for the first time ever with absolutely no clue what was going on and still got to one. It was the dude with the lightning posts around his room. I died instantly for all six portals, it was awesome. Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.
