" What the fuck are you even talking about boy? The fact that this new content is trash after almost a year of Settlers just means someone’s either lazy or needs to learn how to play the meta xd? Don’t talk about laziness or game knowledge when you’ve been playing since Affliction League... you don’t have a single character built for uber endgame.

" Well, you missed a few things on my profile. -Playing since 2013. -I disassemble my characters. Maybe check the void league guys gear tho xD https://pobb.in/o9sCRl4JRyNo “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Last edited by Piousqd#0073 on Aug 7, 2025, 10:34:32 AM

" Uh......you realize that he agreed with you right? "That being said, I agree that the mercs are a mid-tier league mechanic." Also his Hierophant from this league can probably handle most "uber" content. Perhaps not super-juiced t17s, but probably most of the rest. In fact, probably better than your Warden lol.

What im on about is how the complaining is endless.
T17's: we want to run other map layouts, they are annoying to roll, the monsters are too rippy, they are the only source of real loot. League mechanics: theres too much interaction, we want to just kill stuff, it uses up too mucuh tab space (settlers/necro?) Meta builds: trickster is too dominant, icenova is broken af, we want build diversity. Content: POE1 is being ignored! Loot: you took all the loot!? wheres my ground loot?! ---------------------------------- GGG Devs: Hold my beer. ---------------------------------- T16.5's: Run whatever map layout you want. Roll the maps with whatever currency you want. Take a loot at the quant/rarity on these new maps! Merc League: You guys have been asking for these for a decade, so here ya go. Recruit em and go back to blasting. No repairing gear, no leveling them, no dealing with skill selection. They come with some gear, but feel free to make em badass yourself. Meta builds: Trickster-nerfed. EE-nerfed. INoF-nerfed. Hierophant-nerfed. Dont worry guys, we didnt nuke em either, everything is still playable(adding to diversity) Content: You wanted a new league, but we are also giving you a new expansion, new pinnacle bosses, new crafting mechanics. Loot: T16.5's can rolling map quant higher than ever before. On top of that we are going to give you in-map skills that can boots you quant to new height, disable trash item drops to increase the $$$ drops, bring juiced mobs back to life, rain gold from the sky. and incase you dont want to run those, well we are also just giving everyone a natural party loot multiplier from the merc. --------------------------- Are there issues with all of these things?, of course. Thats just how game development goes. Did they spend less time on it than they would have if POE2 didnt exist?, of course. I'm not a POE2 fan, but it is here, and its not going away anytime soon. You cant blame a game development company for developing games. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Last edited by Piousqd#0073 on Aug 7, 2025, 10:59:38 AM

Personally I'm high on copium for Mercenaries to go core. That seemingly simple mechanic did more for the previously stale meta and build diversity, both low and top end, than the last 2 to 3 years of balance changes combined. Not to mention the plethora of items that are now worth something.

" I'm really hoping it doesnt go core, but I feel like between the amount of time spent on it, and how long the community has wanted a follower for, it definitely will. Hopefully they do something to get rid of the doryanis interaction, as it feels like the mandatory setup for any lighting dmg based build. I'd be alot more stoked if my follower was just a rarity/aura boost instead of 10x dps multiplier that nullifies a a core dmg mechanic (ele pen) “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Last edited by Piousqd#0073 on Aug 7, 2025, 11:05:44 AM

" Playing since 2013 too, so how can u talkin about laziness or game knowledge. " My warden is sh*t cause i playin like few days in this league. I just dont get how bad league and bad content means that someone is lazy or dont have a game knowledge, thats all. |

" It doesn't. I think the core here, is that some players like the core game, while others need new stuff to be hooked. Mercs as a direct mechanic is of course pretty mediocre, but the build diversity and possibilities the different mercs offer, is VERY positive for players that like to theory craft, thinker and build. And for A LOT of players, that is the fun of the game. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Then where...may I ask....do you get off criticizing HIS characters and his opinion BECAUSE of those characters? I could just as easily write off anything you say by saying the same thing: "You have no uber builds for Mercenaries, therefore you have no right to discuss anything about the current game because you...don't play it" Do you see how silly that is? It just backfires on you. It reduces what might have potentially been a viable back and forth into pettiness. Starting anew....with PoE 2 Last edited by cowmoo275#3095 on Aug 7, 2025, 2:50:05 PM
