Reddit whining destroyed whole league mechanic in 5 days

Heist went from the best league you've made in a long time (bug excluded) to boring chest opening loot fiesta. :(

I disagree, though seing as you didn't bother to read any of the other posts on the subject it's easy to see why you think that

Like what? I read almost everything. League mechanic is pointless now.
The update has turned an exciting, good risk/reward mechanic into a low risk, high reward mechanic where its back to just mindlessly one click destroying everything on the screen.

Killing enemies barely raised the alert bar before. You still could easily open up a big chest or two and some smaller ones along the way. Now? Now you can open pretty much every chest you come across, leave the map to secure your loot, re-enter and go for the main target.
I'll just paste my reply from another thread of the same nature

The problem is that the killing increases alert level mechanic had waaay to many issues.

The first being it resulted in a lot of players just running around in circles waiting for the heist ais to open stuff, which is just kinda stupid and not fun as a mechanic.

Second being that a couple of the ais themselves were having issues where they prioritized killing mobs over listening to player's commands

The last big point I can think of ties in with the last one, in normal contracts and even more so in the grand heists the ais killing stuff despite you just running through packs was enough to make a big dent in the alert bar with no fault of the players (especially certain heist members with aoe attacks)


But overall the killing raising the bar had no decision making involved as the layouts don't really offer alternative ways to go to avoid getting enemy attention, opening doors will aggro entire rooms occasionally, etc

So removing it was the right choice no matter what. At least with it gone they don't have to try and fix the slew of issues involved with it. And past this either it just stays this way or they implement some new mechanics a bit later to make it more challenging.

I mean at least some of the escapes are hard as long as the enemies spawn en masse.

League is actually worth engaging with now and you can actually open boxes

Before the changes U could not even do anything because your alert lvl was sky rocketing no matter how you tried to play

League mechanic actually good now
The whole affair about managing alert level from kills and chest only makes sense if we can choose a path. Not sure why the hell every single heist is pretty much a ledge map with side rooms, but until it changes heists will be jest high level ledge with extra loot.
Finally the league is playable now and not annoying.

This is a good change.
New mute system is terrible - no trade...
apparently for some poe players it's not enough having certain bugs such as infinite mobs spawning on a choke point or the not so "fair" damage on mobs but that's poe I guess..

wrong game to play stealth mechanic.

Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words.

I would believe you if I haven't played the same thing and managed to open 70-80% of boxes pretty much every time.

League is ruined now. NPC are useless, only Karst matters. Some mods became obsolete now.

Just go and open boxes. I hope you enjoy it now.

Alert level and running around could easily be solved with adding Rage to the monsters as the time goes so they will guarantee your death if you let them live for too long.
But no one cares about this forum. Reddit got it all and it bit them on behind now...
