Varied Prophecy Statistics

well, I know lab was the final nail that killed HC for me.

and +1 on saving points.. need to be able to quit a lab run and restart from the middle of it or something. Maybe a one use item you find in lab that lets you start at the next izaro phase or something..they currently take too much time to finish. its like a full act without waypoints. Some of us have a life/kids/obligations.

also, ...next league pls. I enjoyed prophecy, it is good while levelling but crap @ end game, it is just not designed for mapping.

and think about monster balance.. now most builds are one-shotting the entire screen..power creep is just over the top, and it is making the game boring. you just know something is wrong when the most important stat for clear speed is your movement speed.

So GGG needs to be looking at statistics all the time to know what the majority of players are doing from the RNG of which prophecies are completed, to the specific builds and which skills are too op and need nerfing or not used and need buffing, to what the current currency drop rates are etc., etc., etc. We the players don't need to concern ourselves with such mundane issues except if we want to play a BoTM uber build (Reach of The Council bow build anyone... everyone?).

Which Prophecies are fulfilled the most is a yawner for me. GGG shot themselves in both feet this challenge league by F'ing up server/client latency with all the internal resource allocation changes and as a result my attempts to play the first 2+ weeks were a totally frustrating nightmare that I posted about and by the time patch 2.3.1 came to fix that and the sound problem it was too late to get me interested in playing Prophecy. Thank god I have a Voltaxic Rift, Drillneck, and Rat's Nest from Cadiro Perandus and these plus my Carcass Jack and Rainbow Stride boots I can continue to level my crit Blast Rain archer in Standard.

Who's this "we the players"? Speak for yourself, please, not everyone else.

I found the stats interesting, but took them with a grain of salt.

Yay ! My spark build not listed :D

Yay, my character's main skills didn't make the list <3

Heh! I thought exactly the same thing.

It's really sad to see that HC Prophecy is so unpopular.

Though, it's not unexpected: unified rewards, lots of initial investments into characters, perfrormance issues which actually can kill you.

You wrote "actually can" where you should have written "certainly will".

I can t understand why people are playing in standard or prophecy standard . There is no real challenge , u know u can reach lv 100 with time .

Only if you play to the meta. I've been playing my own builds in standard a lot for years and highest character is 93 - but then I make my own builds and actually avoid the trendy meta sheep builds.

Would love to see some stats on lab. How many hardcore players died in it. How many died and dint complete. How many completed in standard solo. How many in party. Uber completions and deaths. How many died multiple times on hardcore on builds that dont seem to work in lab then deleted their account and quit. You know all that sort of thing.

THIS!!!

I completed all six trials on PSC and have a dozen or more offerings but I'm not going near uber lab. I don't play the meta (I like to be creative) and my character only just got through Merci lab after checking reddit for weeks waiting for a good layout. And I wouldn't have bothered except I wanted ascendancy points. Lab is lame.

I play both leagues...standard and prophecy. I get bored of prophecy too easily so sometimes i find myself playing in standard now that i have all competitions completed in prophecy. it was fun while it lasted. but when i keep getting the same prophecies over and over again (Frogs...bugs...rats...rebirth...the invader...) prophecy league just gets so boring. I think it's the worst league to be honest that i've ever played. i loved Talisman league the best and Perandus. Now those were cool! :) Well i look forward to the next new league you all come out. i'm sure it'll be fun.

Awesome to see some stats, thanks for sharing GGG!
