How come synthesis has not been made core?

I know the puzzles were trash, but the mechanics and the lore were amazing.

I think synthesis return could be done in a soft adventure mode type mechanics, where you run the map, kill the boss, and it would have a chance to fracture the map, where it turns into a synthesized zone, sort of like delirium, so you would run the map again almost in a continuous loop until you killed the boss again, synthesized now.

Might be a lot of work, but synthesis should be properly implemented, its current state is not enough.

I missed out on Sythesis but I find it very odd the itemization is in the game without the content.
Seems a little backwards adding power creep without the content. Pointless even.

May I put my tinfoil hat on?

Synthesis was so story rich and directly related to Zana's origin lore... well really everyone's origin lore... That I would not be even remotely surprised at all if there was a return to the memory nexus as part of PoE2.


Keep in mind Synthesis was also the League they made the PoE 2 announcement, and the folks at GGG have a funny sense of humor about announcement hints.

Synthesis was one of the better ones in a lot of ways... and the only league that hasn't gone core in more or less 2 years.

From what I understand it's also the only league that actually stopped to consider the whole:

"We've set up a cosmology where 1000x off-brand Cthulhus are all menacing the same 50-odd hapless shmucks in a grimdark Fallout wasteland."

Issue...

If it does ever make a come back I hope that they stream line it super hard, I just remember it being such an unfun mechanic to engage with that I actually just started avoiding it during the league.

It was probably because of the Synthesizer and no other reason since they were okay with Heist coming back despite its lack of popularity.

Considering the league was hated I don't see why it should be revived in any way. There are already the maps and items, what more do we need from an ARPG point of view?

The concept of Synthesis (build your own map) was pretty awesome. However the implementation was piss-poor and just annoying to use...

First of all, the timers need to go...
Second the 3 user per piece also have to go... Rebuilding your map over and over was super-annoying, especially given the limited amount of pieces you could have.
Third, the Synthesizer was not at all of use to the average player, only the top 0.1% (or less), and the rewards from that was the major boon of the mechanics...

Good riddance TBH, unless they fix those flaws...

player bitch it too much so that GGG have no time to total rebuild it (also in case player bitch it again, there is waste of time to rework it again)

If the memory pieces could be stored as 1 items just like maps...
