Please delete Gauntlet

GGG please take this as a lesson that Gauntlet mechanics aren't fun and suck for everyone.

Even people who don't have issues handling the buffed bosses are now suffering from a league that died in three days because nobody wanted to play the unfun extra throw in mechanics.

Why do too much?

Just let people have fun with idols.

Nobody is excited about random AoE spam in common bosses.
Nobody wanted a boss rush every Act.
Nobody is really happy that all bosses enrage.


Now this even is ruined, there's almost nothing on the market, global is dead, and there wasn't even a point to the event.

Please just FOR ONCE listen and kill off this stupid "Gauntlet" idea. For the good of the game.

Yeah I have no clue what they were thinking with this gauntlet stuff and enrage mixed with it. Things like this should be relegated only to competitive race events that are in SSF HC, not Phrecia which was meant to be a fun event.

No, players have been asking for this kind of fun and it was long overdue to have an event like this. It exists because quite simply people are enjoying it and that is what truly matters. GGG’s goal is to create something that appeals to 99% of the player base and not just the loud 1%.

Yes surely, that's why the steam numbers are super low.

Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

Low? The current 24-hour peak sits at 40,662 players, compared to roughly 50,000 during the event’s release. That is only about 9,000 fewer players, or roughly one-fifth lower, which is hardly concerning. Considering that even during a normal league about one-fifth of players quit after a day or two, this is pretty much a regular routine for the game. Perhaps some people need to remember that time zones exist and that most players have other responsibilities, such as work, classes, sleep, or simply other real-life matters or interests. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to play sixteen hours every day, and for most, being unemployed is not an option, as it is not a goal in their life to carve out space for intense gaming.

I'll be playing this event for at least a couple hours every single day that it runs. This is loot creep done right, with both difficulty and reward dialed up to eleven.
