Your shilling really hard for that 2020's White-Knight of the Year award. I'm rooting for you.

+1, maybe he wins some skins : )=

I was going to start another thread but thought better of it and decided to just add my 2 cents here. I dont normally give feedback to games or whine on forums, i normally just move on but I felt this league is worth it

In 7 years of playing PoE I can say with absolute confidence that this is the worst, least fun league I have ever experienced. Normally this game gets a minimum of a month play out of me, but im done after 7 days. There is absolutely no redeemable aspect of it.

Normally a new league at least offers a new economy to play around in which allows me too ignore a bad or boring mechanic and just play. This league has driven so many people away in a week I cant even enjoy a fresh economy. What a waste of time this ended up being for everyone involved

I wouldn't say this is the absolute worst league, but its up there. Its definitely the worst modern league by far. Its more akin to some of the beginning leagues like rampage/torment that just threw some lazy ass mechanic in there and that was that. Its like we went back in time 6-7 years.

I do. I remember the reason for Einhar's net jokes. God damn nets with their short windows and invuln periods and rapidly regening beasts. Harvest is just a bit boring mechanic. Bestiary was actively frustrating. Synthesis too with the map pieces spawning in to bricked positions or decay that'd start under your feet causing insta fail.

This league and its mechanics actually make me appreciate the active gameplay of D3, imagine killing monsters and getting loot.

Since Synthesis league (included), I have never felt such decline to play PoE new league, really hoping cluster jewels fix will come soon, at least some fun is brought back.

bestiary was okay after the nets fix. and, generally, i like bestiary content now, always doing einhar missions. you enter a map with additional rare mobs (!), red beasts are relatively tanky and sometimes engaging to fight with, at least this can be called as an arpg content. i would rate it 4/10.

synthesis was not super, i remembered the league for two things: annoying blue memory decay shit that kicks you out the memory, and, of course, purposefuly imposed scarcity of maps - bad map sustain. these were two design choices that pissed me off. but after some fixes + flashback event, it was okay, actually. maybe even better than besitary because it was really big content wise. memory vault, synthesiser, all that stuff. i would rate it 5/10.

but this league, for sure, is the worst. arpg game league WITHOUT arpg league content, this is something new. empty maps, currency scarcity, recipes scarcity, relatively bad map sustain, tedious gardening. standard 2.0. i would rate it 2/10. only because it actually has SOME content: new offerings, new scarabs, some crafting recipes.

if tencentggg would decide to add this to the core:
- remove the garden completely
- add harvest mobs packs to maps, killing them gives life force resource that can be used at the crafting bench + killing harvest mobs gives a chance to get t2+ recipes with limited usage
- keep scarabs/offerings, make them as a drop from these mobs
- harvest mobs drop garden maps with bosses with very low chance.

no shit. and you dont need to drop maps. you come to the obelisc, select a difficulty and you good to go. thats the game i will play for the rest of the summer. i like both games, d3 has some strong and weak sides, but its definitely better than this league.

If anything, it just shows how crappy standard poe is nowdays that you need an awesome league mechanic to make it worth playing.

I'm not exactly sure who is steering game design these days at GGG. Whoever it is is a major liability for this company.

When your business model is largely driven by not p2w mtx - driven by people who love the game, highly praised by most from outside of poe. Then you start increasing p2w crap (new tabs) it's a clear sign they are in trouble.

any news? are they planning to do anything with this league to improve it.

This leauge has been great for me. I dont think theyve done something as ambitious as this since delve.

But players of this dont want comlexity they want breach 2.0.
