LOVE kingmarch. dont delete it!

Same, now that I saw how good div shipments to Kalguur are I'm gonna do em every league from now on. And maybe even look into gold farming strats later on so I can supply my town with a few mil per day for atlas runners for even moooore passive currency lol

i want join the complainers too i think need nerf gold rotas cause u are kinda forced to play with anothers players i was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp2fLk_nmAE
and the game with settler kinda force u farm gold with another players

I agree with others on removing/revamping kingsmarch. As it stands currently, it does not bring any interactive content that is faithful to poe. I was honestly very surprised to see the shipping mechanic still there with breach league. If it stays in... make it a challenge to get the loot, new bosses and big difficulty from them, we need more stat check. No idle trash. Keep that stuff for mobile/asia gaming. The last few expansions have been very lackluster mechanic wise, almost never hyped for the mechanic itself only what it brings. Leaves me just not interacting with the mechanic and farm currency for the items it brings. Breach tree being the exception as to how op it is.

I don't care about shipping, but atlas runners need to stay. It's the perfect use for bricked maps and what not that you always have tons of. The gold cost is in the sweet spot of reward vs. effort imo. I would hate to see it go. Probably my favorite thing they introduced in the 6 years I've been playing.

At some moment, in some league chain hook will revive long awaited changes.
Could it be this league? Maybe next one?
Let's hope they use only one barrel of a nerfgun this time with kinetic fussilade, cause skill is cool to play with, kinda unique right now, but overrunned, for sure.

we need some new jaw breaking skill for casters in 3.28! OP for a new league at least :)

Can you please extend the Phrecia event until March 2nd?

LETS GO!

People saying that KM is "skippable" like Heist or Delve - it's not, really.
All you need to do is buy a gold rota which takes like 5 minutes. Load up the gold to town and just wait for farmers to produce profit.

By not engaging in Heist or Delve I do not have any FOMO, because I'm farming other stuff in that time. It's either mapping, bossing, heisting, delving, whatever - you just choose content to run, that's fine.

Kingsmarch tho - it's generating value solely based on time gating, like a browser-based game. Progress is made WHILE you're doing other stuff. Or even being offline.

I'm proficient with it and made some incredible profits with both crops and bar shipping. On Phrecia I have a strat that's dishing 40 div per hour JUST FROM FARMING BARS AND SENDING THEM OUT. But I see it as harmful to the game. It just doesn't fit POE.

I was fine with this mechanic in Settler league. It's new, it's not "optimized", it's an experiment. Current league being on Atlas Tree (Necropolis) was an experiment too, and it was not repeated because it felt mandatory and was eating into Atlas points available to you. Experiments are fine. Integrating bad mechanics to core game is not fine. I don't want every subsequent league with this overarching FOMO crap over my head.

I'd say remove this completely. Shipping and mapping. Bring back that loot to maps and league mechanics.
