Anticipation of Loot Apocalypse 2

Let's take a stroll down Memory Lane and remember the lessons we learned from Kalandra.

During week 1, hardly anyone could find currency items necessary to roll their maps. Tujen was very popular at that time for obvious reasons. This reality left a bitter taste in the mouth and Kalandra is not fondly remembered for that reason, among other things like Tablets being unrewarding. In fact, that was the idea behind tablet rewards -- to make them the primary way to acquire loot and nerf other leagues' mechanics to be unrewarding, thereby pushing the players' focus to the new content. Obviously, this didn't work. Lesson learned, and we've only ever seen those stupid tablets during temporary events.

Now, here we are again, standing in the mouth of the sea of forgotten wisdom. GGG is coupling a major rework of a classic league mechanic with a severe reduction in loot. What could go wrong?

At least during Kalandra, we had loot explosions with Scarabs and stacks of Divine Orbs. The issue was really during the early end-game, but after getting a build together, the Divines began to flow. Now we've got none of that and even less loot potential from maps.

So, get mentally prepared for a wild first week and possibly beyond. Considering the patch schedule, there will probably be a lot of issues that get ignored until 3.28. This is a very weird situation because before, if something wasn't working or it was unrewarding, they had time to patch it.
