And here is the thing. Everyone assumes this fast league, Phrecia, will bring good loot and restore the old power fantasy that most of the core players want. Just look at the replies on the forum. They are overwhelmingly positive. Why? Because there is hope. Hope that we can jump in, kill monsters, get good loot, and actually feel rewarded for our time. That is what made the game fun before, and that is what people are craving again.


it means that atlas tree needs a serious rework. Currently it's really boring. You spend like a third of your available points to juice a league mechanic itself and that's including pathing to it. And the rest are throwaway nodes like quant, scarabs, pack size, map mod effect.

Tree is an illusion of choice. If you view tree heatmap in poeninja it turns out that 60-70 percent of players allocate the upper "roof" and the centre "circle" along with all of the pathing and scarab nodes on the way. Which means that majority of atlas trees are built on the same "template" that consumes most of the points. Your actual "choice" is the last 20-30 points that are leftover after allocating "mandatory" stuff.

On Legacy of Phrecia it was anything but this.
Farming strat diversity was unprecedented. Sure, map mod effect and map mod effect per quality was still powerful and sought after, but you could easily build a strategy without those affixes. Rituals with 10 rerolls for free and -99% defer dicsount, Ultimatums that only offer currency and require to survive, Pilfering with 2000 div cards on the boss consistently, Expedition that dies instantly, Heist full-unveil printing etc.

I didn’t play the original Legacy of Phrecia so this is all new to me. Looking forward to play it.

Big agree. I only really delved into Harby, Harvest, and Strongboxes and played Whisperer but just seeing what everyone else was doing was fun.

And I passively made more money than any league besides Necropolis. Idols drop like candy and with recomb 1 good mod can make you decent money. Plus Async trade mitigates the major annoyance of Phrecia with idols.
Dejavu on Poe1 next League being delayed again because allot more time went into Poe2 than expected? And this is again a short term solution?

If not just disregard this. but like i said..... Dejavu
