Abysmal early game mechanic

Why do we get yet again another mechanic that looks like it's supposed to be played at endgame with top gear?

I mean it could be pretty good but how am I supposed to know when I've tried to do it at level 20,30,40,47 and without pretty much anything worth as a reward?

PS: silver coin is worth half an alch, that should tell you everything you need to know about the value of the league minigame.

i thought it was just me...

I lasted 5 seconds at lvl 10, 30 seconds at lvl 20 and stopped playing it.

Seems as you say, its not meant to be played at the start, which is crazy.

Why would you not want players to enjoy the new league mechanic whilst getting upgrades that they need at the start of the game? By the time you can survive the battles youve got a lot of good gear anyway so its kinda too late then...

Seems counter productive if you ask me. Shame, I idolize this game.

Roll on 3.23 and whatever bone they throw our way :(

They drop like candy plus we are pretty damn early in the league.

Also yea every league mechanic sucks till you get your build somewhat and running with the start of maps.

I find it surprising that I'm hearing this so much recently. It's all subjective of course, but I generally didn't find this the case at all until Sanctum and Ancestor. Most leagues worked just fine even in the first couple of zones of Act 1 - a bit of an uphill battle in some cases, but so is everything at that stage.

If anything I'd say the opposite has been true - in the past, league mechanics have too often been fine throughout the campaign and then scaled in difficulty faster than the maps surrounding them.

agree 100%

This is my first league back since Harvest, and the vast majority of the leagues before that you could do during the campaign. Just something nice every once in a while to take your mind off the slog of doing the story AGAIN.

not sure when it became widely accepted that the league mechanics shouldnt be worth doing until you hit maps. but honestly thats just stupid.

sucks in terms of not really worth to to.
I think the last worthy league mechanic in terms of "difficulty" and "reward" for the campaign was during the Archnemesis. Everything else wasn't really worth the time or effort. Sanctum gave decent exp but you were better of by just skipping it and finish the campaign as soon as possible to get your hands on the juicy rewards in the higher level sanctums.
Almost every other single league wasn't really worth the early game struggle during campaigns, possible to run yes, but I guess only "good" if you want to get a feel for the mechanic or just take a look at it.

I remember commenting on one post on how I enjoyed it at first... but dang, as it goes on, it just gets so challenging :S Hard to even finish when the enemies keep having more units than you~

Every. Time.

Everyone who says "hurr durr youre supposed to skip while leveling and do it at endgame"

Then why is it introduced in act 1? Wouldn't it make more sense to have them dropping in act 10?

Never thought I would say this but I miss the old lazy leagues that were just stand in a circle and kill everything, they at least had a chance to give some loot.

i think you just dont know what you are doing.

when u played a few hours of the league mechanic and would replay from lowlvl, then you would do much much better, than you are doing right now .

you can basicly run around with 0 damage and distract the enemies until you win.




and the reward gets better when you get ranks.

i got my 6 link from league mechanic and get 5c or 5 awakened sextants rewards sometimes now from 1 round (my rank is mid i guess)
