This league is bad in the best way possible.

I do not like this mechanic but every time I think about it for 5 seconds I am thankful.

The coins allow you to bulk sessions instead of doing things like sanctum and original harvest where it cuts the momentum of mapping. This is really nice and allowing you to freely trade these is something that took a lot of other mechanics like temples and harvest a decent amount of time to get sorted. Really like this. Imagen if you were forced to interact with one round each map? Be an absolute nightmare.

The investment for failing is basically nothing. It is not even xp so you don't get hit with this one two punch of "your investment is gone AND your xp on top of it better go grind" which happens a decent amount with invitations and mavens writ. It is actually really nice going "eh at least I lost nothing". I cant remember the saying but it goes like "losing 10 bucks feels as bad as winning 20 bucks feels" basically meaning we value lost a lot more highly then winning. Image if the silver coins where 10 times rarer and you spent 1 coin at the start for the whole tournament? Getting screwed over round 1 or 2 would feel a lot worst.

The tattoos being items is great. Don't want to grind the mechanic? Simply do what you want and you can have fun experimenting with them by just buying them. Crucible technically allowed this but was so cripplingly slow basically no one made trees for profits. It could of also gone the enchantment route where at the end of the tournament you get a select of the omen or the tattoo and it must be equipped there you cant store or trade them.

Like honestly. The mechanic is kind of boring the stuns are annoying and the rewards are unrewarding but overall it feels so not terrible while adding a unique mechanic to play with that its frankly impressive it would of been so easy to accidently make this mechanic a anchor that drags the entire league behind it. Plus lets just think about how good poe. Like for real this game being free is pretty nuts. Granted you have to pay to basically trade with stash tabs but still.

the enemies are overtuned and loot is crap but the way we are able to do the mechanic whenever we feel like is something that ggg needs to keep for future leagues

worst league ever by far.

I haven't tried it myself because I wasn't excited about an auto-battler in an ARPG in the first place, and reading about overtuned enemies and underwhelming rewards completely killed my will to try it. But I will, if they actually fix the enemies and rewards.

But the general ideas are definitely great, and I hope that they will continue keeping non-map related activities outside maps and keep their currencies tradable like Silver Coins in this case.

I still remember the frustration of being sucked into Sanctum.

Sp the general ideas are "great", but you refuse to try it based on some people's experiences when it only takes you a few minutes to try it out? I struggle to understand the human race sometimes.

Try it out. It's fun, especially once your build gets going.

why is this argument about rewards to begin with? This is fked up.

Are you having fun or are you there cuz of the rewards? cuz if the latter, you are at work.

Fun in poe? really? its not 2015 xD
Now only Efficiency matters and rewards/time invested.
Ultimatum was 10/10 You choose reward kill mobs in couple of sec and go next bet. No wonder we dont see it back in game.

Retuning player (play this since Beta)

Love the league mechanic fun addition for ssf to help gearing and get rid of those downsides poison/blee/resis

figuring out the units

saving up 1-2 matches to afford that jade shaman or thunderbid
figuring out which totem annoys me the most and just zerk it

its really fun

i spent about 20 minutes in the league mechanic and it's complete ass. i'll try to fill up an entire currency slot with 5000 coins though.
