My hype level was never this low

Ridiculous, once again GGG disappoints by not shaking up the meta, these balance changes are no way near enough. Some are even laughable.

Boring as hell.

No money from my wallet.

Nulled.

It’s just Settlers again with a coat of paint.
Play loop is the same. Farm maps for gold, feed farmers gold, send ships, and repeat. Everything else is secondary.

This so called "Expansions" is just mix of Memories we already had in the game with bootleg Sentinel slapped into it.
New league feels like something PoE Two would have.
Settlers still in the game and on top of that they nerfed recombinators to be same as PoE Two

did you even listen to the reveal? kingsmarch is already fully built and you get the choice of using the poe2 recomb or the one your used to

When I compare last expansion to this one and when we get "hire ur pet" as entire league mechanic... It feels like PoE Two.
I sure hope patch notes will flip entire meta on its head and everyone will frantically make new builds for 3.26 otherwise there ia barely any reason to come back.

You know you don't have to play every single league, right?

He has to complain. These are the same people that complained at the start of every league for years and hid behind Poe2 to justify the doomerism.

It's actually sad to see.

In all cases, Great league, good changes and most encouraging is that GGG have changed their entire project management approach.

league is worth it only for the qol changes imo. there's a time for bit-complaining and it ain't now.

everyone knows you complain when the league starts until they buff what needs buffin and fix what needs fixin.

How people can call one reskinng rogue exile per map "a great league" is beyond me.

Yes, I dont HAVE to play every league. But sure I hoped to WANT to play next league after being starved for 10 months. Then they bring the most mid both expansion and league, with barely any new content to the table.
I think I didnt starve long enough to accept sich "meal".

I was very critical of their PoE1 approach during the PoE2 launch fiasco, and i am pretty hyped for the expansion/league. Expansions are always accompanied by a minor league mechanic. Like....how is this surprising? They cant do 2 expansions at once. Get a grip.

I agree.

This league looks like its received less content than necropolis and affliction let alone settlers.

Then the patch notes come in and it's basically just deleting most of the viable skills (for eg. hexblast, frostblades, ss), and adding maybe 10-20% to some underperforming skills like spells. Basically not really a meta shift, people just gonna play the few good skills that escaped nerfs like fissure of snaking, kboc.

So, an underwhelming league and same boring meta with even less viable skills.

If this is the best they can do after a year of not releasing anything, the future of this game is bleak, things might already be over.

I had some hope and expectations, but after this I will never spend a dime on this game. Even the supporter packs were uninspired!

Me after seeing league - meaybe at least we will get a lot of changes to shake up the meta
Me after seeing patch notes - guess I will have time for other games this year

Passed by to see what the new league was about and check up on the various changes, only to say the same as you. I used to play the comfy & easy builds (mainly RF and minion) because of health issues with my hands so I just shook my head at the new nerfs to those. The meta still persists, with no changes to underpreforming skills or even less played builds to change it up. New paint on old turd for new league mechanics. The qol seems ok though the main problem still exists of the left mouse button.

So yeah, thanks for the show & tell but it's still a "no, thank you". :)
