anyone else hate new league mechanic?
" " i took a look a the league, yeah... but no, no thanks tbh. i dont really want to learn to play a new genre of game that i otherwise have 0 interest in so that i can stop playing my arpg ever 5 minutes and spend a significant amount of time playing this other genre of game, that seems like a trash genre that i would never think to even spend 30 seconds trying out. maybe it goes core at which point ill be forced to try it and maybe ill even enjoy it, i dunno. but i have better things to do atm than invest 3 weeks into a poe league based around autobattler games. id rather stay in standard and just play the core game with my invested characters and items for a few days and maybe walk away for the next 3 months. thing with poe, do the leagues really matter by now tho? i feel like if u wanna play a league u can just ignore the league and enjoy the ladder reset aspect, the game is already full to overflowing with stuffs. personally i dont have the time or care for a ladder reset right now. i would be more happy and more inclined to try a league out if it was simple and was just heres some mobs, blow them up in an arpg fashion and they drop some stuff. when its hey this is syndicate and theres a board and u got little bits of string and the different string is different colours which means something and then you can tell whos friends with who and friends is good except when its bad... fking christ wtf... a dude was in global chat yesterday having socket colour issues, new player, he could have fixed them by putting a white socket on a body armour. i told him a white socket addition existed, thoguht about explaining to him what the syndicate was and how to play it so that he could get to the point where he could add a white socket... yeah so fuck that, i told him to look it up on youtube. when you feel like you cant even explain to someone how a league mechanic works in a digestable fashion its gone so far beyond bloated it shouldnt exist. i just wanna play an arpg. i got a build, theres a dungeon full of monsters, i kill them and they drop an item. thats basically what i want to do. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

A couple things folks might not have seen yet is. Gear. You buy gear with the earned favor, but half of it you can't equip. You need certain defenders that are able to wear said item. I bought 4 items and only 1 was equipable for my team. Then i earned more favor 1750 for Kitava, ya but I guess I dont unlock him yet. So I can't spend it, why is his missions showing up then?
Then is a mess and shows VERY little testing. Oh and have you lost a close battle? then enemy has to beat down 5-6 more toteems for the win, while you can't revive because they got your big totem? So you have to afk. Where is the surrender button??? |

atleast we know now why they didnt show anything from the league, there is nothing worth to show lol. keep working on poe2, by the time it goes live you can play it yourself without your playerbase lmao.

tried it, lost 5 matches in a row, even after watching all the tips.
Every first match i try to do, i am up against double numbers. there is no way of telling which will be an ez starter find, or plain right a 10 vs 4 if you use all starters. And without winning a first match, you simply canoot progress or make your team better. Meanwhile you are up against a team that has orange addons (in your first match, while your team has absolutely nothing). they go to my totem, i try to fight them but my damage looks like shit. they just keep destroying the totem, meanwhile when i try to do theirs, insta death by stun. Your opponents shouldnt be that overpowered over you in the first match already. Fights, should be fair. If we have to start our matches with nothing, so should the enemie team be. But they seem to start with endgame stuff in the first match. To me, if silver coins are dropping in act 1, i should be able to do the league mechanic as well. But this feels like its almost only doable after i am already done with story line. I have played a number of league mechanics, always from the first act, but this is the first machanic ever that i will skip. Its simply not doable. You cant get a start with the overpowered enemy team. |

I can't believe after all the turmoil from archnemesis ... they stick you in a room with 4+ arch nemesis mobs.
They need more than 1 guy working on league content. I can't believe I'm feeling nostalgic for malignant hearts. Last edited by JoeShmo#1872 on Aug 19, 2023, 12:45:02 PM

First impressions are rather weak.
I can't kill a single totem and I'd have to kill like, 6? by holding left click? and when I fail, I need to wait. What the heck is this crap. |

It's ok. It kills my FPS but that seems to be the whole game atm.

After playing with it a touch more, well, I kind of hate it now. I have no idea why there even is a respawn in the first place.

I win 7 match but the last one i die early and stay dead the whole f*cking match the weck is this trash league mechanic and for those useless reward.
Staying dead is so frustrating this league seems Worst than Heist, GardenParty, Kalandra. You enter the arena and the only thing you have to do it defend its much worst than blight with at least a tower defense. |
