this game now is truly for the 1% only

Its so weird to actually enjoy the challenge yet to feel like I am in the minority.

You've been here long enough to build up a tolerance to the salt :P

Your opinion is wrong. This league is more fun because you get less and die more, so when you get stuff, it is better because there is less of it. If you don't like it, try playing some "fun" game with more stuff and you'll quickly see how much less fun it is. It's like playing the powerball lottery, it's more fun to spend 30 years playing it and not getting anything. They fixed that mistake thankfully.

if you enjoy torture so much why not try ruthless? or ssf ruthless? that would be so much fun for you by the sounds of it

Woah, don't get me wrong. I too am a sportsman who enjoys the challenge of putting on my best boxers and socks and getting less stuff.

I'm being entirely sarcastic for the purpose of illumination. I much preferred affliction, since I have to work again for the season, which involves a lot of overtime hours and I don't have time for this silly league.

That's fair.

1%? nah man more of 0.001%

i dont like the change but i m not on temp league and my current build doesnt utilize anything from the uber pinnacles.

i can see the intent with the change but imho its not good.

in case anyone forgot, uber pinnacles are supposed to be aspirational content.

triple watchers eye is awesome but if not a double watcher's eye is good enough.

there are no "stepping stone" uniques like watchers eyes, and that is the problem with gating uniques behind ubers.

but thats fine.

i dont like it but its fine because of the sole reason that it doesnt affect me on std.

last league i'm pretty sure it was a couple of divs one week into the league so it was never really scarce or expensive. anyway that was just one example. other items were like that too. and if this is the "normal" then why give average players all that power last league? so they can taste it once and never again? i'm having a hard time enjoying myself now and will probably go back to standard where all the chase items i got last league are waiting for me

sure, why not m8? go for it.

you see any challenges next to my name? where u think im playing right now?



i looked at this league reveal and everything they showed i knew instantly i didnt like. i have to not only roll a map and look through all the mods but now ive got to look through all these monsters and mods and consider their pack sizes and abilities and customise which one does what just so i can go into a map and spend 90 seconds blasting down goblins and then have to go back to reading and thinking about all this non gameplay bullshit all over again? every time?

yeah, no thanks. and at the end of it i have a mechanic with an annoying storage limit like beasts/harvests that works like a worse version of fossils via an extremely bloated clunky menu system that takes 5 minutes just to do the equiv of hitting an item with a fossil once and getting a vendor tier piece of gear?




i made the decision to play standard the moment i saw the league reveal stream. ive made the quiv of about 1500 divines so far from trade and ive been chaining one of my favourite maps, shipyard, with breach, abyss and beyond all day having lots of fun on old characters that were all started in previous leagues and are still on their journey to 100 that i enjoy and care about just as much now as when i first rolled them.




the price of that amulet will come down, its only been a few days. but why even care when you probably own one already and have unfinished characters in a league that is more fun to play than necropolis?

Standard being fun? Its like I am in bizarro world.

yeah remember the way breach was fun? and abyss league was fun? and beyond league was fun?

well im playing poe and i have breach league and abyss league and beyond league in every map just like i did back in those leagues and im playing characters some of which were probably created in those leagues, so why would it be any less fun than it was playing in those leagues at launch?


the base game right now has more features and is a more fun version of poe than any league from the first 9 years of this games existence, most of which we all enjoyed playing. standard with breaches in every map is way more fun and interesting than actual breach league was because now we have an atlas, a million scarabs and an endless list of other game improvements.
