So, about that new Mirage league

What exactly is there to be "hyped" about? This is a filler league. I'd rather have them make keepers run longuer than give us this big "absolutely nothing worth my time" league.

Oh wow, region-specific events on the atlas, so good, just what the mapping system was back in conquerors of the atlas & before.

the league mechanic, imbuing your gem, looks like the bare minimum of thoughts possible put into a mechanic. So I get a 7link with a level 1 gem in there? Wow thanks for making my mana problems even worse with little to no upsides. So nice of you to realize that I needed to be screwed in the dirt even more.
Now I need to take into consideration another variable to make my build viable, because having to have 2 to 3 layers of damage mitigation and at least 2 layers of QoL in any build that I run is already so much FUCKING FUN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN HAVE AILMENT IMMUNITY BUT I CANT HAVE STUN IMMUNITY BECAUSE OF MY LIMITED POOL OF RESOURCES? OH WOW I GUESS I GOT SKILL ISSUE'D.




Here are the real issues:

When are they going to stop nerfing spells in a PVE game, for fuck sake let us have some fun. When everything's broken and working, nothing is broken. Just look at built variety & player retentions since rituals, it has been downhill from there (data apes can read numbers but can't comprehend them)
When are they going to rework their atrocious changes to loot, item rarity & quantity and loot bonus. GIVE US BACK WORTHY MF GEAR and stop trying to shape the game around what a bunch of streamers are doing, they are the 1%.

Rework your bosses, their mechanics & the visibility of their spells. In a game like POE it is simply atrocious to have your effect overlap a boss effect and you die without even seeing what the fk is going on. This is below entry level encounter design.

Instead of nerfing things that people enjoy, how about pushing up worthless skills that nobody uses? Build variety > meta. when 12 to 20% of your userbase on a current league uses the same skill there is a problem, and the problem is YOU, the game designers.


Like, I have been playing for years, probably a decade, and I love the game, but why the fuck do you chimps feel the need to make this game harder and fucking both the game and the players to the ground without ever giving us anything back? Anytime someone discovers something good with his atlas & scarabs combo it gets nerfed into oblivious because it was too much fun / rewarding and because the player has to be miserable and go unrewarded for the time he put in this fucking game.

make up your fucking mind, because when eastern devs make an Arpg that give me those things i'm leaving you, and my money is leaving you because all you've done in the past years is spit in my mouth and treat me like i'm your bitch.

No more.

Give me a good league and give me a good game or DIE. You are already tencent's bitch and when they see your numbers they won't like it.

Go play Diablo 3 if you're fine with powercreep and 60000000% multipliers.

Glad my brain doesnt work like yours. I am so hyped. Sucks to be you

I'm going to be nice and not insult you right off the bat, but what exactly are you hyped about in this league?

They are reverting historical changes to the atlas because it was a pain and a chore to do it initially, they give us even more optimisation problems down the line with another gem to take care of (mana problems, consistency problems, what do you do if you roll a gem that completely botch your skill, etc etc) under the guise of a new league.

What is there to be hyped about? Even the new skills don't look interesting at all.

I want a clear answer: what are you hyped about in the new league. If you can't formulate a clear answer that means you are just a bot that ggg made to post on its forum.

Give me an answer, please.

Well I had a lot of fun on D3 with my feticher and the set that gave haunt something like 100000% more damage.
Now explain to me why nerfing skills that do what they are supposed to do insted of buffing ones that nobody uses is beneficial fo the game as a whole. What good is it for a game to boast a 180 or something skill gems but only 15 or 20 of those are used by 90% of the community?

Please explain to me, a filthy D3 enjoyer that loves +6millions multipliers, why having a lot of unused clanky skills with nuked damage numbers is good for a game about build variety?

bet you can't answer that.

Lots of new things to explore, not just the league mechanics. Lots of new skills - and altered skill gems. Lots of new Exceptional gems. A new, different atlas to explore. A new atlas mechanic to explore. Also looking forward to test new/reworked scarabs.

The game seems vastly different, which I very much like. It's been a long time coming, as the atlas hasn't really been changed for years. A different experience is always more interesting than just another league mechanic.

So now you know why I'm hyped. You can agree or disagree, but that's beside the point.

But this is very generic, and if anything this is ports from POE2, wich is even more depressing.
Reworked scarabs means usually a single thing, nerfs, because the game designers can, again, see numbers on charts but they never understand what they mean, and you can see this in every single live service game that exists, from WoW to diablo 4.
Everything from this league is a port from POE2, from assets they are reusing, to gems, to skins.

This just shows how lazy they are getting with this good for nothing filler league. Again, i'd rather have a longer Keepers league than an empty new one.

For paladin necromancer.
I can finally fulfill my today-old dream of palacromancy on a necrodin.

Also gonna run city square even MORE often.
I'm a simple exile.

Sounds good.

I've actually been playing out of boredom and its alright, but basically I always end up going back to a demon hunter with strafe since its about the only thing that moves as fast as I want it to.

My current issue with path of exile is I'm trying to look it up on youtube and I'm positively inundated with path of exile 2 content.
