THIS LEAGUE SUCKS

I feel I need to use caps lock now to put my point across.

No1 wants another intricate mechanic in the league (ok fan boys and streamers excluded). This is taking the p*ss now.

[Removed by Support]

I like that kind of mechanic, it also more relaxing than rushing all map all the time and walking back for the loot.

I barely reach t2 seed made myself a few tank linked together to store up condensed essence, make myself a path toward my disperser with pylon.

Not sure if you can put me into the fan boys group but whatever. I just like news thing and I don't feel the need to go for another super fast clear speed build zoom zoom again and can finally make a build that is more slow and just play for fun whiteout feeling punish for it.

Overall I like the league, I don't hate crafting either even if i'm not one of those that make their currency with it. But I feel like I be able to get some really good gear myself instead of farming the currency for it and that part is also one thing I enjoy.
(Not a ssf player, I still like to trade for unique and other stuff just in case)

At the end... there always gonna be players that dislike a league.
There always gonna be players that like the leagues.

You don't like it ? Ignore it or play next league.
Don't put it as it was agreeing with you just because you hate it.

If you need to yell in order to make your point, it just means you're inarticulate.

What you really mean here is that you don't want it. You can't even consider that other people might have other tastes than you.

Well guess what, the game doesn't resolve around you. Just get over yourself.

there are 2 ways to play this league mechanic:

1) IGNORE everything that isnt tier 1 seeds, including pylons, storage. all you need to do is auto plant tier1 seeds, and harvest them when theyre ready. use whatever cool crafts the game gives you and move on. this will give you some pretty decent stuff.

2) spend A LITTLE effort (like 10 minutes???) learning how to make storage, dispensers, and tier2/3 seeds work. YES, it is more effort than 'kill mobs get lewt'. just like setting up your Betrayal Board. but then you get the super cool higher tier crafts.

If you think people not knowing how the mechanics work is the main problem than you need to stop assuming and ask

Getting S tier gear quicker/more reliably does not make the game funner. In fact, i'd say it has mostly the opposite effect

It is. To some extent it is the fault of GGG, they should know we are in an era where most gamers are mindless sheep that need to follow build guides just to play a game. The thought of spending 2 minutes reading a few tooltips and figuring things out on their own horrifies them so much that they instantly start blasting the mechanic without even trying it. "It's bad! I need to watch youtube tutorials to figure it out! How dare you try to make me engage my brain in a video game!"

It's honestly kind of scary, what happens if the devs start catering to that crowd? Will PoE eventually turn into Torchlight 3?

I'm enjoying this league. Nice change from delerium.

Completely agree. I'm not a min/maxxer, I don't care about the rewards, I don't care about the meta, I also don't care about how convoluted the system is. What I care about is whether the mechanic is fun to interact with. So is it fun for me? Well, let's just say this is the first league where I felt no incentive to go past act 3. If I'm already dreading interacting with Harvest this early, why even bother progressing any further?

-People have been saying this is a "farm sim", I wish it was. I absolutely love farming sims; tending to crops, watering, adding soil, and harvesting after all your hard work. It feels satisfying. Harvest league? The mechanic feels more like a crafting system with an unnecessary convoluted "farming" skin over it.

People complained about synthesis but I found that mechanic to at least be somewhat fun to figure out and at least worth interacting with.

Actually, it does not. I'd take this every day in SSF before banging my head against unrewarding drop rates and crafting RNG. The new mode keeps the complexity of the game but significantly reduces the most punishing range of RNG. The game feels more fun and less like a job now.

people can say they love the game and people can say they hate the game. Telling them that there are other people who see it differently and to get over themselves is as ridiculous (at least to me...but people might have different opinions on that, so get over it :-D).
