190 crystals 6 days played - Temple still empty and Architect in horrible location

I have been trying non-stop for days upon days to get my architect in a suitable location to start working on Milkybk strat to setup my temple, and I've been doing everything right to make it go to the right location, I've been putting rooms in the right place to bait destabilization, Putting rooms on the left of the temple to keep the Architect from spawning on the wrong left side of the temple, and Still, It bounces back and forth between every spot within 3-4 tiles of where I need it to go, but never where it NEEDS to be.

Where is our end-game patch with some more actual end-game content that isn't this HALF BAKED fever dream of a league mechanic that takes rocket scientist knowledge of the mechanic, and outside explanation from streamers who spend their lives figuring out the mechanic????

It's asinine that GGG Continues to treat the game like a full release and then throw crap like this at us, I have literally spend like 30 hours and my temple is still EMPTY. ITS EMPTY. NOT A SINGLE ROOM OR EVEN HINT OF A SNAKE!!! EMPTY!!

I had to reset it fully after GGG decided to change all the rooms mechanics when I had almost 35 rooms , Which ON IT'S OWN, the reset took like 60-90 crystals!!! WTF!!!! It took me like an entire DAY of playing the game non-stop after work just to get the temple RESET!!! Why? Because GGG doesn't respect our time and decides to delete all our progress with mid-league drastic changes to the mechanic, Because they felt like it.


I am typing this out after just finishing deleting 60 more crystals and 10 attempts at trying to get my architect into a suitable location and I'm just so over it , ready to quit the league and I haven't even been able to experience temple half as good as the people who play this game as a job..

It's so frustrating to love a game so much and continuously have you're time disrespected by the devs who are charging up MTX prices just for stash tabs to hold all their bloated crap, and can't even be bothered to get their primary league mechanic into a decent playable location.

I agree that the mechanics are clunky and annoying and that they changed the logic without any option to reset the temple was a slap in the face, but maybe you should use a strategy where the architect doesn't have to be in such a particular spot. The strategies I've seen only need you to keep him away from the corners so he doesn't cause a loop when you pass him by with the room snake...

This is exactly what I'm doing pretty much, I'm trying to get him into the top right corner, 3rd tile from the corner so that he will be on his own and not connected to the corner when I make my way past..


Honestly though, I think I'm just gonna give up... I made plenty of divine from Abyss just for the hell of it, over 1200+ div right now, It's not rich rich, but it's enough and was fun..

I just wanted to build the temple out to experience the league mechanic, but it's just frustrating and not fun at all trying to get it built at all,


I'm over it, I'll just wait for 0.5 end-game content drop and see if it's worth coming back.



I find it ridiculous that 2 leagues in a row has been Abyssal League for anyone that struggles with the broken temple mechanic and doesn't have the patience for 8 hours of working on temple per day just to get it to a suitable setup to farm.


Go read Milkybk's comments on his latest temple video, It's hundreds upon hundreds of comments of people struggling to figure out the mechanic or being stuck and unable to progress because of a certain room not showing up or even 1 single mistake happening during the building progress.

It's absolutely insane that GGG thinks this is acceptable as a league mechanic, A joke in fact.

But he could be anywhere as long as he's not on B2 or H2, so you can build the snake around him.

I don't think he can even spawn in the outer rim or lower than row 4, so 25 out of 27 positions would be fine.
a good example of mimicry without understanding

I'll say it now, Johnathan and his "vision" and this idea of "Friction" is the worst thing to happen to this game, and I think it would do so much better for the community to have him GONE.

why do you want to build a snake layout in the temple?

why not build a tree branch layout and farm atziri instead?

Wait until you have 50 rooms, and then make a single mistake by looping your main chain. Then watch all your 6 T3 spymasters get surgically nuked, and your room count drops to 14 (because 30 rooms are now dangling, inaccessible in the middle of the temple). It is funny how convenient the RNG in this game is. I am so done with this league.
