standard league and the season reset feature.

I really dislike the start from zero every few months.

Can this game focus more on long term goals? based on the research i did many seem to dislike this „start from 0“ i wanted to suggest some things i hope to hear some valuable and meaningfull feedback/replies.

Lets imagine the only league is standard and temp leagues act as events in it. No more act 1-10 grind and no more progression reset. Instead they could increase level cap by 5 each new event and give us new content/bosses to tackle with our characters instead of revamping all items and mechanics each time they can focus on adding challenging bosses and reward us with new MTX-s like farmable from those bosses. Also each event can have new skills/gems/jewels uniques that will only drop there and if you want to test these builds you have to farm the skills from there or trade them also some RNG gamble for really powerfull items thats only accessible thru new content. We need something permament to motivate us to play. These are just suggestions my main point is that something should change about this i dont care how/what they do aslong as we get away from this reset nonsense.

Starting from zero is probably the only thing keeping this game alive outside of regular content updates.

The game is fundamentally designed to last for a league (3 months), but it seems you've failed to comprehend that and want to rant for some strange reason. It also sounds like you did absolutely no research at all and are simply making stuff up. Why would you do something like that?

In this league specifically, if you played for a month straight, you could have 5,000 of each currency except for exalts/divines very easily.

Do you think the goal is to stack up millions of orbs of alterations for some strange reason? The game is designed to be league-based and they will never change it because changing it would mean changing the entire game.

You should probably spend some time reflecting on that instead of thinking there is an issue with the game because there isn't. It's functioning how it is intended to function.

to follow up my thread i wanted to add , GGG constantly screwing around with standard.
Disruption is a HUGE turn off for casual and many gamers.
e.g. Logging in only to find your skill tree wiped with NO IDEA of what it was before is disrespectful of a player's time. Being forced to constantly look up your build every new league because it was nerfed into the ground is NOT FUN. At some point players go "F it. I'Il just play another game."
MMOs have the same problem but they usually don't invalidate both skills AND gear with patches. Their expansions are usually in addition to the base game, not out-right replacements for it. For example, WoW players go back to previous expansions to farm transmogs (gear reskins) and until recently, pre-Shadow Lands, gold farming. I've heard FFXVIX does a better job of not invalidating previous eynansions when a new one comes out since players also run it for some of the same reasons, one of them being glamour (reskins.)
Making standard more "consistent" with *opt-in* content would go a long way towards repairing the damage of GG has done.

Fan bois crack me up.

@skillcode

I have only one reason to play standard, and it is very simple. I hate that every league i have to start a new character and that i cannot simply continue with my already built characters from other leagues, so playing league is pointless.
And that is the only reason why I play standard only now. I don't care anymore about the league rewards and challenges. Until they fix this, i will continue playing standard. Once they let me play my other characters in a special league only for those, then I will go back to playing leagues again. i just don't like always being forced to start new characters every new league, just let me play and continue my existing characters. It is really sad that the community around this game doesn't agree with this, i guess they have just been so well conditioned, and they try so hard to condition me to think the same way as them. Standard has that name for a reason. We really do have a very strange community, where players prefer to play on the "test servers" that are the leagues rather than the "core" game.

@skillcode the point of league we start a new character, go through everything again to get what ever that league gives you, than a new league pops up, rinse a repeat to what end Fun..? I wish this game could focus on the main game add new scenarios, new monsters, challenging dungeons where you need other players for the dificult bosses and some sort of raids basically more group based longterm goals anything but just resetting leagues, I and many find no point in them.

I would skip leveling to maps if I could. That being said, I don't mind leveling. There is plenty of fun to be had there. I do think if given the opportunity, most folks would skip it.

i mostly play std ssf since i dont always have the will to start over all the time
i often try leagues but unless i really enjoy the mechanic i tap out around red maps if not sooner and go back to blasting end game on ssf std

i do absolutely despise that ggg invalidates builds so frequently i dont mind nerfs to strong shit thats fine but most of the time its not a nerf its a massacre where my char goes from 10m dps to 2.5m dps and i bascially feel like its dead
none of my chars are doing hundreds of millions of dps but often the skills i use some guy has 2 void battery and mirror tier synth items with 44 power charges and 1 shots ubers so ggg nerfs the skill by 50% so that guy now 2 shots ubers and I cant play my character anymore

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

+1 on leaving Standard alone for build destroying changes.

I'd also like to add that the standard map tab conversion is a mess.
Converting all maps into the 4 natural t16 maps each league is a disaster.

The forced change to making all map tabs remove only and giving new empty ones is an unreasonable fix.
Yes, I can use the maps from the remove only, if they still exist on the atlas. But I cannot chisel, alch, vaal those maps.
And there is a 25% chance the map vaal's into a current series map, and becomes completely useless.

What exactly do you think they should do when they change position of nodes or nodes completely in the passive skill tree? This is an RPG which is constantly changing. This is the core of the game. If you can't adapt to it then don't play it and choose something more simple.

I agree with skipping campaign because it is boring af right now. I enjoyed more 4 act campaign with normal / cruel / merciless... this copy paste of first 5 acts is just totally nonsense for me.
Something like if you finished the campaign already you can play maps from lvl 1 would be a great change. You would not be forced to play new league content if you don't like it and go directly to maps where you can build your own content via atlas.
But I don't think we'll ever see it
