So how do we feel about Keepers of the Flame efter a few days?
" To add to this: P2W implies that once you spend money you are immediately more powerful / better off than someone who did not. Stash tabs do NOT enable this. You still need the knowledge of how and what to sell in order to UTILIZE the tabs you purchased. A total novice could have 100 stash tabs and make no more money than a veteran who sells via the in-game chat (SUPER old school style). Knowledge + convenience of stash tabs and now merchant tabs certainly gives you an advantage, sure. But again....you need to KNOW what to spend that advantage on. Give a novice a few mirrors and they will probably create a trashy trash build with them. Give a veteran with knowledge 50 divine and they can probably make a kickass t17 build. THAT is the difference between TRUE P2W ($$$ = power), and stash tab convenience. Starting anew....with PoE 2

i am not a fan of leagues that are all about clearspeed because they funnel builds.
that being said this league did something good which is making the content useful during early game which is of great help for the average casual player to gear up. |

" I felt this one for sure! Sure i was alwys usuell a few levels above the zones, and had ok gear since i took more times in zones then rushing past them. But now i was constantly 12-15 levels over the content for a long time, and drowned in options to switch around with as i leveld up and early mapping. In that regard it was great!

" --- You could do that in any past league if you decided to play like that. Trying to justify why this league was OK by saying that "well, if you showed down and overleveled and overgeared the content it was OK"....that is insane. |

" I never said in this statement that i think this justifys the hole league being ok. I only stated what you see can read on this statement. "But now i was constantly 12-15 levels over the content for a long time, and drowned in options to switch around with as i leveld up and early mapping. In that regard it was great!" Only person saying it in these quetoes , are you :) I have however said recently that collectively with the changes they did to the league. I personaly think the league atm, is "ok" for. And i do, atm, i think this is a "ok" league, nothing special. its just "ok" :) Cant have to much Junk in your Stash

Ok im 94 now, been starting to pick up a little speed, was able to almost clear simulactrum lvl 15.
So i did some jungle map runs with harbidingers and beyond that i really enjoy since a long time, and here the breach that just spread and you need to clear, or the TD version that feels nice honestly in combination with the other stuff going on. Now i feel like when a Fortress showes up that, i do like them! But i would rather stay outside and combine all the mechanics for more action. I still go inside, but i.. Almost feel like im going into a 5-man dungeon in a mmo you know? So before when i was slower, had less dps, i looked forward to the Fortress. Now that im faster and have more dps, i dont look forward to them. But ill still do them cuase of fun Foulborn items and extra items so i can roll on the tree. Iv gotten 2 hive glandes? Ill check them out later today, so now. I feel im having with when its a combination of mechanics with new breatch, IF, its the TD or the expanding one. But i can see myself starting to skipp Fortresses eventually. Oh and a option for speeding up the waves inside the Fortress would be great! Like if there was 2 extra "portal" points. And if you click the Yellow one 3 times, it activates, and now, instead of "normal" speed for spawning, its double and a bit more dangerus (and rewarding). And if you click the Black one 3 times, the hole place changes to a very very dark setting, speed is now insane on attackwaves frequenzy (with greater rewards) and the big demons with the swords show up and starts attacking in groups. So for the once who want normal, dont do anything, if you feel you want a bit more spice, click 3 times on the yellow portal, and if you really really want it spicy, intense and damn brutal click the Black portal 3 times. Cause currently, i can just imagine what good players & really good geard players do with this content way past my state. Prolly makeing food and looking on the clock :) Or is it just "ok" that the new content dosent have to challange me at the super-endgame of builds? Its "ok" at the level of challange it is, i can do other things instead or? Should the league mechanic be the "new hardest in the game" ? Im not a dev, but i imagine new content could/should give new challanges to look forward to on all levels. Anyway ill get back again later once if checked what the "Glands" ? might remember wrong, is about. Cant have to much Junk in your Stash

Well, after a few days the newness has worn off and this League is just your standard grind of leveling a character and collecting less loot. The new Breach is disappointing and not very rewarding it seems. The Breach wall is just annoying and serves zero purpose. The breach tree is ok for like the first day but it becomes mostly useless for the endgame unless your willing to try your luck for some endgame gear drop but it is just easier to earn money other ways. This has to be one of the worst leagues in POE history. I think I am done and will just go back to the standard league where I have endless money and character to generate loot so I can test and play new builds.

I feel good. I did the content I wanted to do, blasted maps, killed some bosses, gg. I don't expect to want to play for weeks and weeks.
