Bye... for 10 days. Going on a cruise you peasants.

Going on a cruise, during the height of the Delta variant transmission situation, at your age, is...well... I suppose it's on brand.

Smh, I hope your rng is good.

I think a lot of the cruises have mandatory testing before you get on. Not perfect but it is something.

vaxxed and tested... 97% of the passengers are. The 3% are kids. The kids don't mix with the adults. They're really good at keeping them out of sight.

Just give us 3.16

OFFTOPIC

Don't mean to sound condescending when quoting you (or, at least alluding to your text rather than actually quoting you), but I hate how this forum handles long quotes. I don't really bother posting myself but since this league was a dumpsterfire and reading forums has been a lot more fun than usual I've been focusing more on that, and I noticed something peculiar. Amongst all the vitriol and half-assed assumptions (which is admittedly 90% of the reason to read the forums; just grab popcorn and enjoy the ride) I've been seeing these temperate, well-formatted, and number-driven responses that have been a particular pleasure to read. That is to say, yours.

So, without too much but with rather just the right amount of virtual dick sucking, I wanted to show my appreciation (for all that's worth) for the time and effort you put into what you say, here and in other threads. As a fellow wordsmith (likely) and numbersmith (possibly?) I really respect your message and hope that it was as enjoyable to write it as it was to read it.

Thanks very much for the feedback, I genuinely appreciate it :)

I must admit, I haven't always been the most constructive contributor in the past but as I'm not playing this league, I can at least try and contribute to the game using some of my other skills. I've actually enjoyed dipping into the data and reviewing past player behaviour.

If some of my recent posts have helped to make the forum a better place, then that's a worthy use of my efforts :)

On topic: I didn't quit the league, been playing since the start. The league mechanic itself is pretty decent. The rewards and merchants are boring.

Off topic: Been playing PoE for since 2012 I think so I know the most ins and outs. I talk to a lot of people in game and literally everyone agrees with my opinions. I'm going to list a bunch of solutions/improvements GGG should consider doing to bring this game back to glory.

(I also did a post like this on the RuneScape forums back before the game went to shit and no one listened to me. Guess I'll try again, maybe it will work now.)

In order of importance:

1. Bring back the 3.13 ecosystem. Deep delve, fractured delirium mapping, beast hunting, ... With ecosystem I'm referencing Cutedog_'s and Grimro's youtube videos.
2. Bring back deterministic crafting. 3.11 Harvest was a good start. (Not the garden setup, this would've become a menial task each league; increase the horticrafting station slots by a lot; make all crafts tradable with an orb/note system like you did with incursion temples/beastiary monsters)
3. There is barely any counterplay to curses on maps. Revert the curse immunity on flasks or everyone will run Viridi's Veil/Kiara's Determination/Atziri's Reflection/Kikazaru.
4. Auction house for basic commodities. (Currency/Fragments/Prophecies/Scarabs/Maps/Incubators/...)
5. Stop nerfing ground loot when you implement stuff like Tujen. Really annoying... Players shouldn't be at a disadvantage if they don't wanna interact with your new blingbling league mechanic.
6. Buff underutilized/underpowered skills. Nerf OP skills. Nerf aurastackers/aurabots.
7. No immunities on monsters. [Expedition]
8. Remove physical/elemental reflect from the map pool.
9. Introduce chase items/uniques. Stop nerfing chase uniques. Example: Starforge is obsolete once you're able to kill Shaper.
10. Decrease other players' skill effects to increase multiplayer friendliness.
11. Increase pick up range of loot by a little bit.
12. Add a prophecy stash tab.
13. Simplify Heist -> change the rogue gearing/leveling you have to do each league.
14. Make talismans well-rolled again.
15. Combat log / Death screen
16. Shorten the marathon on the Shaper map.

I love how this thread went sideways.

We appreciate feedback, even feedback that is critical of the game, but this does need to be posted in a way that is not rude or insulting to the team.

Yeah guys, remember, GGG is filled with very sensitive people with easily-hurt feelings, and feelings are important to thin-skinned people. So play nice :) Not the game, play that really angry... :)

You are not as important as you might think you are in terms of speaking about that game sir. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. It doesn´t mean others have to follow it ;-)

but why not remove Harvest and add all or most mods from Harvest to Crafting Bench? much better and more suited. just need balance cost and how achieve there crafts and its perfect!
