Spoiler

GGG, unless you've seriously nerfed Maven, you have just gated off a large chunk of the Atlas from over 99% of the playerbase.

0.6% have killed Maven.

I reckon there is a going to be a huge drop off of casual players as they realise they can't progress because of the difficulty in getting Voidstones.

This will badly damage the economy for all players, as there won't be anough buyers.

Using one of the pinnacle encounters from the previous league as a requirement just to progress the Atlas will kill it for a lot of people.

Sextants and being able to run any map at t16 is now an aspirational content for 1% playerbase ? This is now gated behind The Uber Elder, The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds.

That is a good point

3: there been promises of naturally jusicing the maps and removing the option to super juice them and minimize the gap between players who are good at jucing their maps and these who are not. .. didnt happen and not mentioned about it now..


4: you promises to rework endgame and how it works.. but in reality yes some changes.. but mainly just a tons more of extra endgame for the 1% of players who can play 20 hours a day.


5: nothing was done to crafting or show possible outcome if anything only added new modes to learn and remmember and crafting remain pain in ass system that most players will ignore despite it being the ONLY way to get normal items.


6: the real issue of self casting is the abimation lock and the fact that you have to stand in place and cast with no defensive like fortify that melee gets despite melee being in same place for less than casters .

instead of making useless buff of 60% more damage to basically all spells even ones who didnt really need it.. you should;ve and could;ve cut by 20-35% the cast time of skills and reduce their mana cost..
and rework spell echo to not cause you to actually be locked in place for extra casts and maybe consider making spell echo like bow thingy that shot for you.. so spell casters could cast and walk for clear speed while keep their stand still gameplay at bosses..

1 wrong (p.s. start using a filter)
2 true, but also true in any RPG you will ever play anyway so irrelevant
3 and they delivered with the atlas passive tree, sexstants more intuitive and accesible and with the kirac missions
4 wrong - it's an excellent change and they helped everyone with it (yes even you)
5 nothing was needed
6 wrong - solving it this way is better because you still keep the intended risk of selfcasting in the game but get a huge chunk of damage if you pull it off
