Do you mind elaborating what about this league is a true failure on the player base? I of course agree that the economy getting destroyed by all flame + back 2 basics exploiters, that really does suck. But I'd say my personal experience has been what I expected. Yes not opting out of haunted modifiers really sucks, yes it's a crafting league, but the actual mechanic wasn't horrible once Craft of Exile gave us an optimizer. 2 div for a 10% craft of 50 something corpses; a chance craft that can roll me t1 suppression boots, t1 attributes, t1 max life, 35% movement speed, and if not, half the time roll me t1 resistance? I'm at least making money back on such a cookie cutter craft. I'm open to arguments about the broader player experience, but for me, after the economy was ruined and HHs and MBs were dirt cheap, I will say I did feel really screwed over in my plans to gamba buy Valdo Boxes by end of week 2. But the fun wasn't entirely in being able to chase MB maps and sell MB at an overpay, it's in doing content I didn't get to do last league. I'm still accomplishing new content, doing T17 Back 2 Basics, just for the uber fragment farming. I farmed up entirely new scarab strats at the end of week 1 and I hit lv 100 in less than 3 weeks. I'd say for that experience, I enjoyed "the league".
@fearstreak7462 so leme guess you devote 100 hours a week and another 20 hours to do excel simulator? The leveling process was horrible, people exploited early and often as usual, broken league mechanics for a few days, gated content. What else is there to like unless you only play poe 24 7. I'm not even a casual but feel left in the dust by this league after a slow start I just gave up. Nothing interesting about the crafting to me other than benefitting the 1% as usual. Last league was awesome just get up snd go farm. Worst retention possibly ever this league but people wanna defend it, guess that's their right to do so. Just doesn't feel like poe is going in a direction I like and I've played since open beta
you make fair points about the crafting parts of the league mechanic being unfun, but I disagree that leveling was any different from what it normally is, and when you say 'gated content' I assume you just mean t17s? T16s and even ubers feel the exact same to me, with respect to difficulty, as they've always been, even with the new atlas and lantern either way i appreciate your perspective @dougiefrizzle3718
first time coming across your channel and your content , appreciate it mate , keep it up
thank you
When crownfall doesnt have patch notes I guess Im listening to this now
nice to see you hear. Yep we were promised the new patch between jan-april and we got till august with this trash crownfall crap
Mfw I have an entire crownfall video recorded that I could drop any minute
Valdos boxes drop rate rarity is adjusted by the teir of items added, so if everyone adds a mageblood varient they will become even more rare
League sucks. Worse than Kalandra. Dunno how they fucked up so bad but they did
damn couldn't disagree more. Although I don't really like grave-crafting I will give you that
