I really hope Crucible trees will stay in the game

+1 to tree's staying

-1 to exploding totems going core (including standard) this mod ruined the (create a unique by beating xyz boss first in ruthless) event from what i've been told.

I would be disappointed to lose these:

Don't want to lose these either.


But if its the only way the exploding totems don't make it into core then so be it.

Straight up unhinged, zero downside power sprint? Sure the hell not lol. I'm all for it.

Let's hope this is the last of the mechanic in every way

While I don't hate the idea of the mechanic, with a little extra polish put into some of the corner cases, and shifting it to be more like the Mine or the Lab, where it's just a thing you can go do, rather than Harvest where you have to hope it shows up, I doubt it will be added, mostly due to power creep related issues.

I also doubt currently created items with trees will be removed after they merge, they'll just exist as exclusive, non-replicatable items. Wouldn't be the first time, old uniques don't auto-update, you have to spend to update them, for better or worse (and it's not cheap! A dang divine!). Heck I still have Scourged items kicking around and that mechanic died a while ago. GGG tends to respect the players 'ownership' of those older items.

They ruined that by putting it in ruthless, everyone plays a similar overperformer when racing and it would have just been the next skill in line without totems. Only different to usual is I doubt anyone would have actually bothered completing it without.

The trees need to go through, the items you and ChanBalan linked above are examples of the sort of middling power creep that would be OK to go core and i'd be OK with, but they aren't even 10% of what you can get out of Crucible if you tryhard it.

All i'd want to takeaway is some of the best sidegrade skill changes but its gonna be easier for them to bin the lot.

+1

It would be nice for them to keep the Crucible tree, but implement it in a different way, and also have the possibility to reroll Uniques. It would be a very interesting addition.

For many players, crafters, traders and collectors, the key question NOW is whether Cruciable is going to core or not.
I'm sure GGG already has the answer.
The league is close to the end, in every way, and it's about time he announced it.
I am for the solution: core or not core.
Any solution by which the Crucible will survive, but the features will be essentially banned, is pure mortification, like Harvest.
