I can't believe these idiots that are saying, "it's too late,the league is done!" LOL. Hello!!! The league is 3 months, not 2 and 1/2 weeks!!

Unless someone is ego driven and is trying to beat another player to level 100, I really don't understand these posts. Only a tiny percentage of people already already have all the challenges done....

When will people understand that the league isn't called "Heist Race!"
This isn't a race, it's a league........ Unbelievable...

The only unbelievable thing said here, comes from you. If the huge amount of problems we had up to now made them understandably quit the league, good for them. If you didn't quit, and will keep playing, good for you, I am the same.

But don't act as if your point of view is the only justified and correct one? Get a grip on your ego dude...

How many other companies listen to the community when it comes to stuff like this???? GGG stands alone in that regard. At least they are FIXING the problems. But instead, all I hear is a bunch of ungrateful brats, acting as if their life depends upon this game or something.

GGG could have done absolutely nothing. So when they do make changes, they get more heat for it then had they done nothing at all....Maybe they should have just done nothing based upon the comments I'm reading.

....but is the league playable yet?

Fanboy mentality. Weak logic. Alpha testing is something that should have been done before the league was released. End of story. People like you happily setting the bar so low are the reason everyone else has to suffer through these terrible league openings while GGG posts its standard "first week went totally awesome" pat on the back that people like you willingly eat up.

Nobody said they were perfect. But some people expect them to be. Now I know why so many gaming companies charge a subscription fee every month, because they can be perfect......

It's not as if they are fixing these issues 2 months into the league for God sakes....

YES!! Thank you!!

Anointed talismans doesn't sound too bad.

Cool, after rolling my rogues's gear with lockdown and figuring out the strats with that, ggg triple nerfs it.
Nice, thanks guys.
Let me know if I should even bother rolling their gear after the next patch or at all since you guys may nerf yet another strat after this big patch.

-Lockdown strats
This isnt a thing anymore, we killed it.

Fixed a bug introduced in 3.12.0 where the Cortex encounter no longer spawned minions.

Ah yes was much fun losing 1.5 ex to not being able to use flasks at some point :') If I only knew before I ran the damn thing...

Would really like to see the Twins encounter!

in two weeks, maybe. i doubt it will work when it gets patched in.

Very positive changes but, as some others have already put it, for the league to only potentially become fit for release 3 weeks after the initial launch is, frankly, shocking.
I did enjoy the league mechanic at first until it simply became more frustrating than it was worth. I have almost completely ignored Heist for about a week now, focussing on the vast amount of old content which still feels fun to interact with years later but I certainly cannot blame the people who have already called it quits this league, who, I am sure, have come to expect a much higher standard of league content from GGG.

One common theme in some of the above negative comments appears to be calling the upcoming patch a further "nerf" to the league which I cannot agree with whatsoever. You have to bear in mind that very early on, GGG have made a complete 180 on one of their league design decisions in removing alert gain per guards killed which has completely overturned the idea of "risk vs reward" in many of the heist scenarios, resulting in poorly balanced alert levels and extremely unexciting loot pinatas. Even after the alert levels were rebalanced, the "time before lockdown" stacking meta is still trivialising the content to the extent where players are still opening virtually everything on the way there rather than having to weigh their options and evaluate the risk of getting a bit too greedy. This should, in theory, bring some excitement back into the league mechanic and let's face it - the heist loot would still be worth it even if it was halved. The areas are becoming smaller and will now, allegedly, grant actual exp, so I am certainly excited for this.

One last piece of criticism if anyone is still reading the super long post: the artifacts rewarding only markers and rogue exp is an extremely boring mechanic. I do hope this is on the "pending improvement" list.

Happy upcoming weekend everyone. We are nearly there!
