How's the new league?
|
Hey, I haven't played in a while and just wondering... how's 3.20 in general? It's surprisingly hard to find a 'general review' for the league. Would you recommend picking it up again for a casual player? Yeah I know it's been a week :)
Thanks Last edited by presstabstart#2953 on Dec 17, 2022, 5:31:30 PM Last bumped on Dec 22, 2022, 3:43:56 PM

"casual" is such a broad term. But I'd recomend giving Ruthless a try. It really isn't harder. It's just sparce. You really have to use what you find. It's differently difficult. I think it actually suits casual play better. You know you're not going to for the stars. You're just dealing with the present situation.
The league itself is pretty ignorable. I played it in the early acts but quickly lost interest. Rewards are tuned way way down in Ruthless, so that certainly had an impact there. Last edited by Shagsbeard#3964 on Dec 17, 2022, 5:54:15 PM

you need a certain build to play the league mechanic. if you dont want to play those builds then just play in standard.

Still not exciting.
Maby wait 3-6 weeks for some tweaks. There is still a chance.. But so far this league even worse than kalandra. Guess this is trend since 3.14, each league is no better than previous. Good is, this game have cool strength for penetration of bottom after bottom.. i.e. still playable, for some builds. |

I just wish we could go back to the 'kill monsters get loot' league

I'm personally not a fan of the new league mechanics, and people say they are extremely build limiting (only certain builds can perform well), BUT I'm really having a blast with the core content ignoring Sanctum completely. The overall state of the game feels a lot better in terms of monster power and loot compared to the previous League which I dropped in about 1.5 weeks.
So if you like PoE in general, and don't care about the new league mechanics in particular, I'd say it's a nice time to jump in. |

Depends do you like rewards? then not the league for you
Did you enjoy the first week of heist with the alert system? if so sure go for it Do you like lab in general? I did play it for like a week and I was skipping it on day 3 already and I play leagues for the mechanic and rewards.. if I didnt care about leagues I would play standard. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. poe0.2/10. Nuff said. |

I hated the Mechanic the first 2 Days and skipped it. After `just` 2 Days i did the Fellshrine Quests for the Relic Table and it was a Gamechanger for me.
I enjoy the League now, i use Lightning Conduit with Orb of Storms you dont need Traps or Totems but alot of Damage and some Strategy to building up your Sanctum. |

For me , very bad... this league is very stressful ( I have enough stress during a day ). Waste of time, you have to finish 32 maps to get something good , of course, you cannot die in sanctum, good luck with this. Traps/negatve effects/dark as f...k -all shit dedicated to destroy a pleasure from gaming.
All your defence layer is worth nothing in Sanctum , only dexterity and...Run, Forrest, run.... And ,finally, mega disaster for all close combat builds, especially melee. Plus poor economy,after 1 week 1 divine costs over 200 c Last edited by Varan1971#6966 on Dec 18, 2022, 11:38:49 AM

" I agree with the stressful part. And I don't like how there's 0 tolerance for taking hits. I absolutely hate the Resolve mechanic. But, I only completed one sanctum floor... after many failed attempts. I'll give it more time. |
