As someone who only really plays leagues in which I enjoy the league mechanic... Necropolis just sucks. Corpse management is tedious, the mechanic is essentially non-interactive. You can do a little moving things around pre-map but whatever, boring. Then every so often (for me I literally never did this because I'm SSF and quit before I got the needed corpses) you load up your graves and craft a mirror adjacent item.

I mean ok, I couldn't reliably farm ubers so far, but I was ok with that as a casual player. Right now, 1.I can't farm ubers, 2.I can't farm T17s, 3.I don't have the knowledge to create a build that can achieve the above, hell I can't even tell the bait/crap builds of those streamers from a good one, 4.I need to grind 10xmore time to get to the same place I was a league ago, and I probably don't got this time. 5.i need to do this in a game environment that is not endgame, slowly realising that I'll probably never reach this new endgame. Sorry but Ruthless 2.0 into Poe Immortal isn't something that attracts me.	Posted by panikouk#7916 on May 19, 2024, 4:12:58 AM Quote this Post
Quit this league over the constant crashes any time I had to load in someones fancy recent MTX. When being in town, or even trying to trade, my best case scenario is my CPU gets so hot it starts to throttle. My worst case is my computer completely crashes, and I get a nice temperature warning on reboot. I don't really feel like putting my computer at risk, and its really shameful that its microtransactions in a decade old game that's doing this to it.

The biggest problem with the league is that it gutted every other crafting league mechanic that has gone core. Look at the value of certain craft goods and trades such as essence, harvest, etc. This one league tanked it all. To make it worse the league mechanic kind of sucks -. * Coffins everywhere. They drop like candy and most of them are junk. * You need an online website tool to tell you how to craft. * You have to keep an excel spreadsheet of what coffins you have. * You click anything and a menu pops up. Click after click after click. I don't mind the scarabs so much but they do need some tuning. That is one area they've consolidated and simplified -- that is GOOD as is the Atlas tree presets. I do strongly disagree that league mechanic buffs appear on atlas tree. I think that was a very bad decision -- league mechanic should not feel compulsory to spec into to be good especially if you're going to force people to click crap and manage a thousand popups in maps.

i wouldve liked the league if crafting was simpler - i like crafting leagues, but having to do spreadsheets is too much. i really liked the premise, but because too convoluted and time consuming just made couple of the unique jewels. i really liked the juicy double-tripple fractures and fractures on influenced items - never bothered with influence items since harvest. also ggg deleting my items was a big let down. if it wasnt for this i wouldve still liked the league even with all its drawbacks.

Agree re: MTX. It seems GGG has doubled down on the incredibly annoying sounds and gimmicks in MTX. The Rogue Harbour in particular is an abomination. This game should not cause a modern computer to come to a crawl. GGG needs to do something about MTX and/or Rogue Harbor in particular.

Every time I hear that thing in a town, even when I escape from it to my hideout and only hear half of the sound file I still get insanely triggered by it. Literally give us an option to disable all MTX on other players already, also give us heisting in hideout that would solve all the rogue harbor problems. And yeah rogue harbor is borderline unplayable because of the 1230587097 mtx people have.	Posted by Toforto#2372 on May 19, 2024, 6:35:01 PM Quote this Post
