Announcing Path of Exile: Curse of the Allflame

"
Was waiting for Mercs to come back nd now they don't count as half a player so no half quant nd half rarity rip, nd then they can only be used for a few maps nd are perma on scion new ascend like wtf why put them on the scion of all classes as well we all know what people are gonna do on it run a aurabot and just run around with perma Mercs was happy when I saw the mercs are back just to be let down.


Meanwhile, party players still get all the benefits they previously had.

Mercs were the poor man's (or rather, the solitary player's) opportunity to experience some of that playstyle and it was enormous fun in that league. To now have a washed out imitation of it is vastly disappointing.

I hate temporary elements to RPGs like this. Synthesis sucked because the nodes disappeared after a few uses. Then there was the micromanagement of whatever that league was where you buffed the maps and the tokens had to be replaced after three uses and everyone kept forgetting.

Who will genuinely enjoy picking up a cool Merc in one level and then not being able to carry them forward? So if you want Mercs, you HAVE to play Scion and sacrifice a full ascendancy.

Just let the players have some fun for pity's sake!
i got my support pack

So we're trading Synthesis and splits for some hacked up version of mercs which we get for a couple maps? Not trying to hate, but that's a terrible tradeoff. Feels like leadership here doesn't have time to actually play the game.
Simplex gonna be 100D each on console. joy. smh.


Leadership plays an aurabot, what did you think was going to happen?
Leadership scion will be another doryani prototype merc abuser. We have seen that before. Basicly the only way to play mercs is to fill them with -lightning resist and doryani prototype and it give unconditional unbalanced damage to lightning skills. Or play as an aurabot for the merc but it's more work and who knows how good mercs are in 3.29.
When The Last of the Druids boxes will hit the store?
In order to get rid of clearspeed meta cap global movement speed at 100% but make all skills instant so everything feels great.
Please make Mercs permanent
I cant wait to play I'm hyped for this
Hi GGG , i recently watched ZiggyD video on youtube the playthrough for the new league, and in a chart exploration he had 1000%+ rarity as a solo player, so imagine a 6 man group how much would that scale, thats a huge mistake to let that survive like that when league starts,us solo players will have a permanent debuff compared to group players, they will flood the market with uniques/T0s drops, wich will not be okay for the economy, I really hope you reading this and consider tone it down otherwise the uniques economy will be ruined before the league even starts
