Is it just me or is the game just not fun...

The League is too much stress.
It rly feels like work .. the timer starts and the work begins.
Beside that .. Syndicate, Legion and and.. there is so much stuff going on on the screen sometimes and the FPS dancing around and kill the rest of my mood .. for me it´s a little bit too much.
I like Challenges.. but this is just pure stress for me

the last 2 leagues were designed and based to kill players.. there's no challenge in shit that you have no time to react, no counterplay or simply forced to play certain builds.

the changes to the atlas and the stones is cherry on top of the pile of bad decisions that they are making lately over there..

everything is set backwards they want to speedrunners to stop then they design a league based on time punishing everyone due to streamers.

oh and it seems they pulled a legion 0.5 regarding loot.. you can farm a certain act and get more profit than on maps, that bad they made it.. a glacier 2.0.

dev's need find something called "design mechanics that are FUN to play while they are rewarding" in your how to dev 101 class.

i just login and look around chat to guildies a bit then log out,
the game is actually not fun
eventually all the build feels the same, ure just 1 shotting mobs
its funny how there are different builds but end of the day u dont even feel the differences between them, when u hit the right gear, u dont even see ur skills tbh

I rather fly lvl 4 missions in EveOnline and i hate them just as well.

But this abomination of a league must be purged.

You touch the mirror - you die
Bosses are senseless bulletsponges - you die
You get better gear - you die b/c something
Mirror+any other league content - you die - freeze/fps drop/rubberbanding (2080 ti)
So much fucking clutter - you don't live

It's actually no fun.

Sorry, but this league is just bs²

Maby for you.

Dunno what the big deal is, if u dont like the league go play standard. Does every single league need to appeal to the ppl that like slow gameplay mechanics? i LOVE delirium, its fast and to the point. Enter, hit mirror and fly to end of map for rewards, i pick stuff along the way once everything dead in that area and dont need to go back np at all. if it was that bad , i dont think it would have peak 100k players today, i think games doing just fine imo. I dont have lag issues but if the fog is a problem then sure they can make some tweaks. but other than that im having a blast.

I have plenty of fun in this League... rewards could be a little bit better yea and map drops higher, but im good.

Well that’s kind of what my initial question was. Because it doesn’t matter how I play the game, it’s just not fun for me. And I was really wondering if it was me or the league. And so I haven’t been playing, but nor have I been complaining. I have just been asking other peoples opinions. And I’m glad that it’s not just me. So if enough people have the same issues then maybe the next league will be more fun. I’m sure Tencent has loads of metrics and can see the player base drop off.

I really don’t play any other games. And this kind of thing can always be a problem for a single game player. I’ve looked into some but none have engaged me so far. I’ll check into the state of Diablo probably over the weekend. But that game is so dumbed down compared to POE that it hasn’t interested me in years.

If it doesn't matter how you play the game and its just not fun for you then the league is not for you atm. Maybe some changes will be made later as usual and you might like them but 1st impressions are usually the most lasting.

Forum ranges from non playing - ultra casual - ultra hc no lifers. Finding solace here will not be hard but will give you a false sense of the bigger picture.

For a league that started with such performance and dmg issues 90k+ players on steam alone is great. The drop off will always happen as it has with each league, such is POE cycle of content.
League is a week old. I havnt even unlocked first Sirus. Plenty to do in the game but if you don't like it you don't like it.

The game is a money trap so far, nothing else. They give you 4 stash tabs lol.

I would support GGG until they sold their souls to the devil that China is, fail to exercise human rights, control freakish leader that encourage scamming as a way of living.

I would die before i give a country like that a cent of my money other than my computer chips, you can have the few cents it cost to produce.

You can bet i made sure everything else i own including cosmetics, products of living and furniture is not asian made.

Freedom of speech will always catch up to you.

As much as i also don't trust the us, i know despite greed and materialism they want peace as long as they are in control, i would take their rule over yours any given day.

If you think The United States is the only country that hates your guts, try the rest of the planet.

We will do the same as we did with nazi germany, eradicate you before you get any ideas of ruling this world.

It's not a race issue, you don't share our way of living or treat people with respect or the freedom your people deserve, you suppress your people.

Our refusal to accept your way of living will make sure freedom will always prevail.

USA, the seal of peace in this world? Dear lord you're naive. Please stop talking about politics you have no idea what's going on

You are not alone OP , not having fun here :(

There were times that one conqueror spawned but I just didnt have a crappy t11 map to run on that zone...
Zana wasn't selling anything , so my options were to go outside the game and use a stupid webpage to try to buy a map or to juice the hell out of a fucking t11 and sextant the whole atlas just to MAYBE get ... a fucking t11 drop , all that while running the game at 5fps and even lower when you try to suffer delirium+conqueror.I'm not talking about sustaining t16 , Im talking that having to juice the hell out of a t11 to maybe be able to sustain t11 and have the map you need to try to chase the Conquerors is not a game I want to play.
I played a LOT and I haven't got an ex to drop, that's ok, I can play w/o ex, I can play w/o gear. But I can't play w/o maps and having to use a shitty webpage to trade items that YOU NEED to keep playing is shit no matter what excuse anyone can come with.

On the plus side, maps drops are ok now but Im at a point where I dont have any meaningful drop , I dont have xp gain and worst than all , Im not having fun. So my options are to go run Harbour Bridge for drops or run t11 maps? or just delve for xp. That's the EXACT OPPOSITE of what GGG said about atlas progression.

Somehow that happens all the leagues to me, struggling to progress the atlas bc no maps earlier, shit drops earlier but I usually have a lot of fun.After some weeks on the leagues suddenly its start to rain maps and ex , maybe I should start playing 1 or 2 months after the league start?
Im certainly not having fun right now.

It feels like, in their pursuit to slow the game down, they have accomplished everything but.

Now, more then ever, you are severely punished for playing anything else then a 1 button super clearspeed meta build.

That makes the game unfun for me. The prospect of rolling another character where I will just earn less rewards per map and time is just not there.
