3 Reasons why Crucible League is a Failure

my only real complain is one cant use unique items on standar forges.

the game is full of trash low level uniques and the skill tree could have been an excelent way to give them a chance to be usable past the initial levels but no they had to gate uniques tree behind high tier maps that cost 2x times more than those leveling uniques.

At the end these monsters drop nothing, cost you massive amounts of time in multiple ways and maybe even kill you several times by simply oneshotting even the tankiest of a juggernaut, costing you exp.

And yet, I've been making multiple divines per day running them, at least up until the league slowed down :-)

^ thats because nobody wants to, the unacceptable content tax has always been a tried and true way to generate easy currency if you can stomach doing what most players hate.

There is no real extra effort :-p
- Pick up a random weapon/shield
- Run the forge
- Put item in sales tab at 1 div

Once every few days, adjust sales tabs one step down in price...

When people say they are making x divines doing y that typically means they put stuff on sale that they think will sell for x. It's not about whether or not any of the shit actually sold in the end.

I mean, I've been constantly selling bow bases all league for 10-50c so I believe it.

He said he makes multiple divines per day doing that though. If we take your numbers as a comparison that's 20+ bases at 20C per day that actually sold on that day as a minimum and then we only talk about 2 divines which technically is "multiple" i guess but the statement is still somewhat missleading.

It also means he'd have to run at least 20 maps every single day to even find all that stuff. Realistically speaking it would have to be more like 40-60 maps a day to sell 20 every day. If some 40 challenge guy said something like that i might have believed him because he makes the quantities to back it up, but not that guy with his 8 challenges.

My opinion is to add passives to weapons just add more randomness to an already very random lottery. The only good passives are the ones at level 1, which are the most generic. The rest are too convoluted or specific to be really useful and are difficult to sell. For example, a passive that gives +30 elemental resistance and -20 chaos resistance, or increase effect of your curses increase effect of curses on you, isn't that great, actually they are terrible. There are great passives, like elemental penetration, but is more likely that it is found in a hammer that no spell caster will use. The best passive is actually this weapon can be sold for 30 chaos.

Also, I agree that unique objects should have access to the tree very early. By the time players can add a passive tree to a unique they already have a weapon that 2 divines. Unique items have already very little value, most of them aren't sold for more than 1 chaos, with some exceptions. Again, unique weapons can give some unique skill that a very particular build can exploit, but it rarely can compete with a well crafted weapon and crucible is making unique items even less interesting.

What I see is players don't care the crucible forge. The pass away and finish the map without even touch it. It is not worth the time in the same way it is not worth the time to pick and identify random items.

the biggest failure of this league is that it's not any different from standard once your weapon trees are done. why even bother with the mechanic when it's not possible or worth it to upgrade the weapons further? this has never been the case in any league because you could still get rewards, currency and stuff.

I like the trees a lot, I get a huge amount of survivability and damage from my trees so it's good in that regard, but it's nothing more. there could have been specifically made, difficult remnants for loot and loot only
