What exactly is the point of playing this league mechanic now?

Heist is a cool design, but once you seen it all, why would I go back and actually play it?

Monsters basically dont give xp.
Since there is no more alert level, killing them or not is irrelevant.
Since the one shot potential is also nerfed, there literally is no reason to kill anything except when you are FORCED to do it at the doors.

The animations to open doors still take forever, you are literally sitting there doin nothing waiting for this progress bar to fill and the same animation to play out to then watch a door open in slowmotion.
The very definition of boredom.

The design of the league is literal backtracking,
im goin through the same area twice, which is in itself not fun, esspecially since its all looted already.
Boring and small (stolen from Sirus).

The loot is bad.
The only thing worth doin is the extra reward room.
But to get there it takes so much time because of the things mentioned above, since the patch the rewards also seem very random and no longer targetable and just simply nerfed by A LOT.
Its like getting the equivalent of any Hidden Wall in Delve, but the time it takes to get there is times 10.

Markers Farm makes no sense.
I get way more Markers by running Delve or maps than running contracts.
Markers/hour is way higher in any other content than Heists itself basically.
Not to mention that getting markers does not feel rewarding.
Its not a currency item you can use, its basically wisdom scrolls in terms of excitement.

The only thing worth doin is grand heists (which again you can only find in maps, no point of doin contracts), but only the last room.

But then again, 50% of all grand Heists dont work, they crash, you DC, the rogues bug out and dont open doors...
or the loot just sucks again :)

So to actually get something out of heist right now:
Level every rogue to max.
After that never do contracts again.
Only do Grand Heist, rush to the last room, ignore all the rest, pray that it does not crash.
The game is basically 95% mapping and Delve and 5% grand heists/afking in rogue harbor.

Playing heists reminds me a lot of speed lab running,
which is no fun at all.

I would rather play literally any other league (except Harvest maybe XD).

This league had a lot of potential but you somehow destroyed it all because you seem to have 0 understanding of what players actually want to play and want to loot, always punishing those players who did not get to 90 on day 1 by all those stupid nerfs.

The whole idea that we are getting punished for looting is so bad.......

It's a bad league man they just dont want to admit it.

tencentGGG or some players? ;-)

im personally not a fan of the league either. i find it quite disappointing. especially with how linear the layouts are. i really didn't expect that to be the case.


ya im just doing contracts for a quick cpl chaos and to get some rogues xp. i'll run the blueprints for potential of good drop but i don't like to.

i haven't experienced any of the bugs/crashes ppl have been talking about and im still not a fan. i am however having a decent time trying some new builds and new skills so that could keep me entertained long enough. we'll see

I liked it more before the alert changes. Now, I hardly find motivation to run heists at all. They're just not fun anymore, too linear, too straigh-forward, no flavor - every run is the same.

And it's really sad, because the surroundings? The art? The voice acting and the 'feel'? On freakin' point.

It's just like maps with loot in chests but you have to wait for someone to open a door for you...so...a pretty slow map. I don't mind slow as long as it's ME doing something slowly. But waiting and not doing anything at all because somebody else (the AI) is slowly doing something is a bit annoying.

Going in is slow and so unchallenging and going out also slow and more tedious than exciting. I really struggle enjoying it but I ain't giving up yet :D

im still split on the alert changes. On my summoner i sometimes couldnt even make it to the heist target, even without looting anything at all, because my minions would slaughter everything... i cant rush because there's locked doors in the way.

But i will admit that currently its just a very slow loot crawl to the final room and then you avoid the oneshots (while nerfed , i feel heist mobs are still relatively strong)

Did u play since the patch?
Its definitely true now.

The first heist(unrolled, white) let me open 1 big, 5(?) small chests...

Gear/mods/traits all potentially lower the alert level even more.
It's fine. It's not like they are a huge investment.
