40/40 Club

Strong agree. Good stuff everywhere, all fun all dope, with the notable exception of all Eagon's BS.

Challenges were very nice this time around, the only bad RNG one was "find beast in an essence" but its skippable. 200 modifiers on Eagon maps sucked though, as long as they take out t17/16.5/uber boss aspirational content out of the challenges, then they'll be perfect. I was at like 20/40 by the time I got to late red maps in atlas progression. Imo challenges should be doable solo by whatever build you're playing, and we're so close to that being true.

Also wish they gave us 2 extra points to play around with Bloodline ascendancies, for some builds all 8 points are super important so I never even get to use any of these new toys. What's the point of borrowed power if we don't even get to use it in the league it's in? We all know these ascendancies are never making it to the core game, or if they do its gonna be super nerfed.


Oh yeah, also kinda bored by the 56th armor set reward. It honestly looks like some kinda lvl20 armor you'd find in WoW. No shiny effects, no nothing. Can we have portals,pets,hideouts and other unique MTX back as challenge rewards again? Why are the twitch drops cooler than the actual rewards for playing the league?

Who exactly does “we” refer to here? If you mean the players who follow GGG’s updates, then we already know that the new Bloodline content is part of the core game, GGG announced it long ago. So I’m not sure why we should assume that something officially confirmed as core wouldn’t actually make it into the core game for some unknown reason. And if you consider yourself as “we” , Bloodlines are already part of the core game in case you didn’t know. You’re welcome, or should I say, “we’re” welcome?

Damn you guys are ultra fast.

Challenges were very nice this league, barely any RNG-dependent ones except the new Remembered invitation for the Eagon maps requiring you to complete it at 70% quant. If you're super unlucky that could take ages.

And it just happens naturally if you play all day and hard-focus on only doing maps with the goal of completing challenges. I straight-up speedran the 50,000 quant one by spamming 8-mod Mesa nonstop. Would have taken me some extra days otherwise if I just did normal mapping.

Honestly this league the challenges were the most fun they've ever been in a while, even Cross Contamination wasn't so bad and the only "kill boss by not being hit by z,y or z" was for the new Breach boss which I completed first try by insta-phasing em. I'm really glad that they keep improving the challenges, I just wish we got something different than an armor set for so many leagues in a row lol

At first glance, it seems fast and impressive, but when you consider that some players can simply cheese their way through consecutive carries, that sense of speed and shine quickly diminishes. The accomplishment only truly stands out if, for example, someone were to achieve the full 40/40 entirely on their own within the two-week period.

Agreed. Tend to not give it much weight unless I know someone completed them in SSF. Trade makes so many things so much easier. Good feeling to cross them off tho, just personally I feel more accomplished knowing I did it myself

Gladly I favoured Mesa and had bunch of t16.5s and could boss rush for the 200 explicit mods there.

Other then that I´m not enjoying boring vendor recipe challenges.
Oh and Eagon sucks. Not sure why GGG struggles so hard giving the areas and the atlas passive tree nodes the same name for each boss, oh well.

I´m giving the challenges a solid 7/10.

Oh damn, did I miss club meeting? Busy in SSF Ruthless atm...

These seem less like actual challenges and more like mindless endgame grinds, still free MTX's is always nice. GGG always pump out the same old lazy crap It would be nice for these challenges to be, well challenging.
