What Happened with Items

Pretty sure that this league is dead or poe is dead
Sad
Why dont just move AN to other area of game and let players to choose encounter it or not
Alll people are just playing meta build like rf becoz if insta shot by those ridiculous AN monster

This is a very long winded way of masquerading 'you will do as we want and no we didn't play test anything we did and still refuse to do so' an apology. We do not want archnemesis. We do not want you gate keeping loot behind completely random encounters. Mapping is literally useless now as vastly more currency comes from past league mechanics. You refuse to address crafting so I guess it's just dead then. You refuse to address minion survivability which is destroying so many of those builds. Pushing the game in a direction of random gambling is the wrong way to go and it's very negatively impacting the community as a whole. Please reevaluate yourself. Tone deaf reply part 4.

BTW

Minions are awful.

You have nerfed so many things but make the monsters much stongger in this league. The challenge rewards are fantastic but so diffiult to get. No one likes to feel unworthy.
I think the worst thing you did is you destred the economy of this game.It's very rediculous that as a manager you are not trying to protect it but destroy instead.
I miss the years that 1 mirro worthed around 200ex in standard. It feels so terrible now if we want to buy a mirro with EX even D.

Weak,see you in next good league(if that ever happens) There is lots of much better games where devs listen players.

Let's say it's ok.

It'd be vastly better if all that communication were made before the patch rather than after but all can be mistaken at some point.

However, accumulating currency no longer depends on specing the atlas tree into breach, legion, blight, etc. It's all about finding a random rare with a Solaris-Touched modifier. All previous content doesn't matter. It yields a mere change in comparison to the Solaris-Touched monster.

Side note: I heard rumors there is a tool able to say upon entering the map if there is Solaris-Touch present or not. I hope it's not true, cause it'll ruin the economy even more. It might be worth investigating.

Another thing is Harvest. Not a word about removed crafts.

Honestly my favourite league to date. I was a huge Synthesis fan and love the new system. Massive fan of the feedback and honesty, please keep doing the updates and the manifestos/ development blogs and teasers.

Some content definitely feels more punishing at the moment and less rewarding, but excited to see where it goes.

I think the main problem right now at least for me is that the game just feels bad.

Getting one-shot by a rare, which then drops utter garbage because it does not have the "right" mods? Feels bad man.

Fighting hard rare monsters very carefully and afterwards deleting the map boss in seconds? Feels bad man.

I'm happy with the current drop rates in low tier maps, but man, the game feels soooo spiky and that is sooooo frustrating.

HUGE spit to all players faces from GGG!

Everyone is telling them - YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG - and they are trying to proof us, they are doing it right, hilarious :D

Players are leaving, steam is under bomb attack of negative reviews, retention of players is WORST in the history of the game, but everything is ok as planned :D:D

But thx GGG, you are pushing ppl to quit, stand up from PC and start living in real world, and thats great. A lot of fat children now maybe start doing some sports or even maybe find someone to love when u dostroyed something they love most :)

50 divines from a single monster? Alright, I will be looking for solaris-touched monsters!
