What Will Happen When the Keepers League Ends

"
Pure hysteria and elitism.

bro, this game is not uma musume or cookie clicker. it's ARPG that's all about complex character progression. why you defend tree which powercreeps a ton of crafting mechanics and farming strategies?

why do i have "pure histeria"? I gonna marathon as always and progress far more than dads who play for 15 minutes a day even if GGG gonna buff the tree (not gonna be surprised at all, bc GGG intentionally make poe1 worse now). I just want them to make the game objectively better and remove stupid braindead slot machine which trivializes crafting system. bc they completely forgot necropolis gravecraft and nuked harvest, tree should not even be added to the core game.

gonna see after patchnotes

for omega casual players who are upset and want to destroy poe1 with trivializing of gameplay systems, I highly recommend cookie clicker and uma musume

and why do you say that community is negative towards gaming dads? I'm not, I have never said any offensive words towards this part of community, I just try to explain to you that game should not be trivialized, that's all. If you have only a small amount of time to play, you know, each league lasts for like 4 months? And great leagues usually are extremely vibrant during 1st month and more or less ok during 2nd. If the league is horrible and unplayable (like keepers) and people leave during 2nd week, its bad for gamer dads actually.

TOP!

I wanted to add that i remember how vigorously i was defending necropolis crafting and wanted it to go core. It was my second league and thought how awesome it is to be able to get this op items so easily. At that time i thought you just can't craft it otherwise.

Well... few leagues later and i think such a mechanic is long term cancerous for the game. There is lots of crafting mechanics already and you will learn to use them to get whatever you want eventually. It does take some effort but thx to that it is also progressively more rewarding. Crafting is important part of the game and it simply should not be dumb down to some jackpot rng slot machine mechanic for imbeciles. It is ofc totally fine as league mechanic - here we have crafting league guys, enjoy your op gear for free! But it has no place in core game.

There would be two options if it goes core. Either it is nerfed massively in which case it will become useless and there is no reason to add it. Or it will still be spitting better items than what you can drop or craft for comparable amount of effort in which case it is harmful to the rest of the game. In both cases it is just bad.

Mechanic which doesn't have any level of intricacy at all - you just allocate points in a way that you can't basically even go wrong and pray... is just stupid.

Keep unstable breach which is only one bearable, add lots and lots of monsters to it, make sure it is also dropping something which is its biggest problem and remove tree completely. Add foulborn uniques as natural drops to breach. Or bring back breachstones and add those uniques to boss drops. Solved.

it's just a few hours of play


No it's not just a few hours, as many people have highlighted throughout this thread.

The fact that you then willingly choose to reduce it to that, proves there's no point in debating.

That being said, I'm genuinely happy for you that you enjoy the game and its current "new" direction.
I'm gonna wait for patch notes, and if unsatisfactory (should provisioning gifts not be nerfed into oblivion) I will stop playing this game after 13 years as it kills the fun of league start for me.

GL to you too !

But why you dont play SSF and ignore tree mechanic ? Like that, you keep natural grinding for league start.
Also you can migrate from SSF to current league when its done ?
Just an idea, there may be things I still don't know about.


Because like in every other economy theres a penality for joining it late. Progress without trading is considerably slower making your position much weaker once you rejoin it.

Also if you play ssf you need to be able to enjoy all the content. Most people like to focus on 2-3 things, also you cant use juiced farming strats as you wont have any scarabs to juice your maps.

why do i have "pure histeria"? I gonna marathon as always


On a build of 100% your own design, I hope. Because this is a game about complex character design. Let's ban build guides, ban youtube videos describing builds, ban looking at other people on ninja, ban importing things into PoB, and have everyone make their own character from scratch, which is what you're supposed to do in these games. If you don't agree, then get off your high horse about powercreep; nothing contributes more strongly to powercreep than people who couldn't design their way out of a paper bag stealing other peoples' ideas and builds.

the ability to control which type of Breach encounter appears in your maps


Thank you, just what i was suggesting. The defend Elron's totem.... i mean defend the girl is just hideous and time consuming unless it's hive fortress

Mercenaries going core or not???
