We are likely never gonna be as powerful as in Crucible.

We sure don't, we've explored that hole several times before. It was just a snarky remark; I couldn't help myself.

It was in good spirit I felt! I actually laughed as it was like a mini-inside joke. :P

"We are likely never gonna be as powerful as in Crucible."
i beg to differ. i hated the league mechanic. so i'll probably be stronger next league. not counting in the mirror i found this league lmao x'D

why even waste so much time making the "perfect" crucible tree when the weapon is just going to rot away in standard? (i dont think any of the 40/40 guys play standard)

edit can you even take them to standard after league ends? if not then let me ask again why waste all that time/effort?

Why even play League and gear up character if everything will go Standard anyway? Not to mention that seems like you are vastly overesteamating how much effort making perfect Crucible trees takes.

you avoided my question. be honest,is it because you dont have anything better to do? you play every league the same way, no matter how good or bad it is. ggg could put out torment spirit league 2.0 and you would play the hell out of it with 40/40.

Because to a lot of people, that's the draw of the seasonal approach. The journey. The road upwards in a new/changed environment/economy, with new goals - and sometimes new ways of reaching those goals. The fun is getting there, not being there. In a game/genre all about progression, what are people supposed to do with perfect items in a permanent league?

It's not "wasting time" if you have fun. Well, not more than other hobbies.

was crucible fun though? channeling for 6 seconds then killing a bunch of OP mobs that dont even drop anything. then finally RNG combining 100's if not 1000's of weapons just to get the right combo. if this is fun to them then cool

While Crucible mods don't drop much normal loot they still average out to decent boost thanks to Remnants, Geodes, Magmatic Ores and other sellable passives.

You should learn how mechancis works. Crucible couldn't be more favourable to the player.

You are right when it comes to on thing though - gameplay loop itself isn't much fun imo.

what player? players like you who play 24/7 or the average player? i think you make the mistake in thinking that everyone plays like you do.

Oh, no! Instead of the game being obscenely trivialized, it will only be ridiculously trivialized! PoE numbers will take an unprecedented hit on popularity!

It's not like they will never introduce other means to create absurd builds and then say it was bad for the game and remove them like Harvest, or Sentinel, or Kalandra, or Sanctum, or Crucible, or...

But sure, i guess Crucible was peak PoE for builds... just hell for everything else.

Personally, I find crucible good, but the way you intereact with it is incredibly boring.

Maybe it comes back reworked somehow in the future, like what they did with harvest.

Agreed. I don't think trees are coming back though. *shrugs*

I mean for the average player they are barely more powerful as is from crucible itself, sure players like yourself that maximised the mechanic saw a significant power increase but if you averaged out over the mapping players you'd probably find it was fairly minor.

Statements still true though as there are a handful of absolutely busted builds this league that we likely won't see again from crucible itself, and vengeant cascade is never gonna survive either.

Until the next league they introduce hasty changes with unintended megacreep that is :p
