Not gonna lie, Ultimatum sucks

Ritual was my 1st league and loves it. Now coming into Ritual 2.0, it is a literal failure! I don't even waste my time with any of these junk rituals as the items aren't even worth time nor currency. I'm at the mindset to quit altogether bc of the junk league. -1 to GGG

Nah. You haven't seen sucks. This league is totally ignorable. You don't have to interact with it at all. If you think this sucks, you just don't like the game.

I agree the league is bad, but I wouldn't say sucks. I'll pass and wait on next one. Played like 2 days and quit.

Just play standard! No ultimatum crap to ignore. As Shagsbeard mentions the really bad crap is the stupid non-fun crap that can't be ignored or bypassed. Plus at least ultimatum crap is still PoE game play at it's core, kill-monsters-get-loot game play.

Imagine a new mechanic where instead of kill-monsters-get-loot you had to kiss monster butts and then beg to be beaten. Plus one couldn't skip the content because it was the only way to get Ascendency Points for your character. Now that would suck!

(Shit, I hope I haven't given GGG any ideas here.)

worst league I have played, the messed with drop rates so cost for everything is outrageous on trade, the ultimatum mechanics is ridiculous, very disappointing overall.

Anyone complaining about this league or harvest nerfs should be forced to play permanent reverted POE for the Warbands patch.

When you say you love ritaul but hate ritual 2.0 do you mean the league machinic or all the other stuff?

Cause I hate ritual and all the mob hunting whilst with ritaul 2.0 we get more aggressive mobs and challenging machinic which I enjoy.

Ultimatum is just a better Ritual. You might be confusing the league with game changes.

- It's quicker to complete.
- You don't have to run around the map looking for the other 2-3 Totems.
- Actual Risk to pushing further.
- No double RNG Vessel wasting.
- Pick your poison round system instead of hope I don't get entangle.
- No wandering around looking for that missing mob to close the event.
- Layers with other existing game mechanics.
- Has a boss
- Has unique map encounters.

The last two need to be increased in frequency but it really is just the same but better.

Wrong. Ritual also sucked hard. Both Ritual & Ultimatum are carried by Echoes of the Atlas expansion, take the expansion away and you have a boring totem spaming some mobs and a Vaal looking guy trash talking you every map.
