POE 3.16 - Bad League

Like many others, believe 3.16 league will be fun as we seen earlier PN, reworked skill tree + mastery notable and powerful unique items.

but after launched of 3.16, the facts proved 3.16 is another Bad League.


- Suck and bored corruption items 99.9% of time (talisman v3.0)
- stealth nerf without communication (good job)
- monster too powerful killed char in split of second
- frequent game crashed loading map (occasionally game still crashed after patched)
- none sense crucible modifiers on items
- currencies drop rate is worst level
- harvest horti-craft unable to craft on higher level item - shit!
- linear maps removal

+ QoL stack scrolls, fragments, etc
+ Crafting bench no longer need unlock 2-3-4 sockets/links
+ Altas rework to Quad-Core is good
+ somehow scourge enabled some build potential when krangled good mods -New added

Scourge league can be good if:
^ krangling item given of 2-3 choices to choose
^ minimum the downsize of krangled mods
^ more boss encounter


p/s: bought supporter pack, pls tune abit exalted drop rate. zero ex dropso far :( (lol)

get pure ex dropped 2 hours after post!

There are some QOL positives:
The changes to drop currency in stack was great. I hope to see more of it in the future.
Easy access to immunity for elemental ailments and corrupting blood opens up possibilities for more build diversity.
Atlas with less regions means faster atlas completion/faster end game.

As far as the league content goes, its bad. I agree. This kind of league is good for 5% of ppl who will manage to craft/buy something good and bad for the rest 95%.

GGG did a good job at ... marketing. The game itself is worse now except for stacked wisdom scrolls.

Hmm. Maybe you are right? At least the numbers are very good (Steam charts)... I wonder why.

Im just glad I waited with buying a pack till I saw the new league. Now I will definately not buy one after playing this garbage tier.

Maybe, just maybe. It is a possibility. Other people... actually have fun playing this league?

I just reached red maps (still running mostly yellow ones, did few red maps) and I have 300c, 1 ex + I've spent around 100-150c on my gear.
Thats good enough for me.

What about the players that didn't chose a metabuild like seismic trap.

What about all the ed/contagion and melee players ?

The whole league is pure marketing BS. Compared to previous leagues it is a dreadful experience. Before you had the choice to do whatever you want basically. Now it is very limited by the lack of everything.

Positive: Stacked Currency.
I dont need to pick up every single Exalted Orb any more which was very tedious and hard on my wrist. Now I pick them up in stacks of 10. Awesome!

It's hard to disagree. At this point it feels like a 'void' league. I'm staying only because I almost didn't play Expedition so after 3-4 months long break I really started to miss the game so I'm fine with playing the base game. But if I'd actually played Expedition for its full length this would probably been an easy skip for me even though I rarely skip leagues and get easily entertained even by the most basic league mechanics.

Next time they will know better tjat for a league starter its better to pick something thats meta. Then after you farm enough you can satrt experimenting.
