I was so hyped for the expansion. Great new changes to un-annoy the game but ...
GGG did it again. Absolute terrible impression so far. Monsters are absolutely over tuned. Drops are terrible. You basically get no drops at all in 10 hours game play - I mean not one decent rare drop (I mean decent - not great). Unique's I think are taken out of game. I have no clue how you sustain maps at all. I wonder how many people quit this time after 2 days. Since last expansion - I think made a record - drop in players - I think this one can beat it. GGG can not make a fun game anymore. Very disapointed |

League mechanic feels pretty good in Blood Aqueducts. Fill gauge, scourge a bit forward, fill gauge, scourge a bit forward. Pretty smooth. The main problem is no worthwhile loot drops and the synthesizer is worthless.
Those weightings on the good stuff are absolutely brutal. Maybe they don't plan on this going core so they made it bad on purpose to not mess with the standard market. 1/1000 quivers to hit a single chase mod. So that leaves uniques only pretty much. I put a map in to scourge just so I'm not wasting my time and in 5 maps it filled like 1/10th of the way. Lol. For the 100% T19 delirious farmers they'll fill it pretty quick I guess. But otherwise meh. I've never played cold DoT before this league so I'm having some fun with that. Might be a 12 challenge and out league. Can't see myself grinding when the synthesizer is so useless. The mods on weapons can be pretty good (60% spell damage and such) but for other item slots they could've just given them with zero downside and it would've been fine. |

My only complain:
Empty alternative reality with barely any monsters on average. Only campaign so far ,Part II, but hope it gets juiced up with higher zone/monster level. Also these warped blockades that spawn can mess up the layout depending which zone. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore "A mysterious figure appears out of nowhere, trying to escape from something you can't see. She hands you a rusty-looking device called the Blood Crucible and urges you to implant it into your body." Only usable with Ethanol Flasks Last edited by gandhar0#5532 on Oct 23, 2021, 3:10:10 PM

" Somehow I feel it is totally annoying to "switch between worlds" all the damn time. I really don´t like that. I don´t really like delirium as well but this is worse. And blood fills way too fast, I think it needs to be at least 10x slower. obey - consume - marry and reproduce - submit - watch t.v. - trust the internet - conform - do not question authority - sleep - buy - do not think - die __________________________________________________________________________ Force always attracts men of low morality. - Albert Einstein Last edited by ___Hengist___#0189 on Oct 23, 2021, 3:52:45 PM

One upside... you don't have to look all over the map for it.

" We are positive today now, aren´t we ? :) But when you are set back and there is still loot to grab, the question might be : "SH.T, where was I ?" obey - consume - marry and reproduce - submit - watch t.v. - trust the internet - conform - do not question authority - sleep - buy - do not think - die

The mechanic of Scourge combat is fun.
There are not enough monsters in Nightmare Wraeclast. Upside should be doubled, downside should be halved. These Scourge implicits are so evenly weighted, that the ONLY time you will find a good item from it is if the upside is entirely synergistic with your build, and the downside doesn't apply to your character. That is terrible design. I am quite frequently not so miserable as it would be wise to be - T.H. White

Personally, I've found this league to be the most underwhelming ever since I started playing poe.
Despite all the big nerfs and flask/mana madness in 3.15 I had plenty of fun with multiple builds, spent a few weeks farming maven and some other end game content along with expedition maps and had a blast. This league however, I'm yet to finish act 7 and I am already wondering if I should just quit for good. This is just my personal opinion but: Scourge is nothing more than a glorified alva/delirium mix with the worst bits of both. Centering a league around corrupting items is a terrible idea. If the nightmare were sh**tting out tainted currencies then it would make sense, since we could just throw every relatively decent rare to the vaal machine and fix them if it was worth doing it. But I can't see myself ever risking a good multi ex rare or unique as things are now. I also find the whole encounter quite boring and annoying with the backtracking and teleporting. The fact that the league mechanic lacks all kinds of currency/other league content loot is also a bad. Having no loot in an ARPG just feels terrible imo. |
