Upcoming Additions to the Harbinger League

Mid next week , how to say hooray in harbinger

First off, I really really enjoy the new acts, the new UI skin, the performance improvements, the new monsters and music, the new MTX system, and the new minimap (oh my goodness the new minimap is glorious).

Secondly, I rather enjoy the harbinger idea. Like ZiggyD said in his stream, we haven't had many endgame bosses that are just a shitload of add spawns so the new harbinger maps are pretty neat and different. I am glad you guys are going to try and make it easier to get to those harbinger maps, since arguably that's where most of the league-specific stuff is (guaranteed to meet new enemy, new boss, and new uniques).

What I do not enjoy or support is the addition of shard versions to more currency. In the real world, many countries are trying to get rid of their coins, starting with the lowest valued currency pieces. I won't delve into the full rationale behind this movement, but many of the reasons that coin change should go away in real life also apply to why we shouldn't have shards of virtual currency.

Lots of smaller currency (and currency you can't even directly use at that) just wastes time and space (time expended to collect, process, and manage it; space because this game actually has the concept of limited inventory space). The shards themselves add no value to the game and it gives you guys one more thing to have to worry about balancing. No more shards please, take them out even.

All you [Removed by Support] complaining about this being the worst league ever probably started during Breach or some shit.

Just add regular loot to harbingers, also even if you doubled the breach spawnrate they would still feel rare. I have 2 80+ chars and have gotten around 10 of every splinter.
Breaches should be a thing throughout the game not just maps, they are fun and exciting.

That portal is bad ass looking, hopefully that's included in the supporter packs

something like an "orb of leagues" get missed? A new currency that lets you chance a white item for a chance to get it's gated league unique.

Isn't that a chance orb? I assume they have a chance to give you the specific unique, since they have a chance to give you any same-base unique. It's just a very small chance :)

Thanks a bunch for the change of pace, it was much needed. Breach, Mayhem, and Torment (partially Legacy) had gotten us used to dense monster action and it'd be rather awkward to deal with less because of 'balancing'. I'd like to see more chaos & destruction, less so much being sent back to the kiddy pool.

I'm very happy with the current mystery box & supporter pack, but all the impatient comments about an additional supporter pack specifically for the league theme has got me curious. Was this really something that had been 'promised' or are people just expecting it because it's what we are used to getting?

glitch made me doublepost, sorry

When I read that there were going to be new currency orbs, i was hoping to see like an Orb of Purity or something of that nature that would remove corruption from an item (even if it has to remove the corrupted attribute) to make the item workable again with other currency items.....oh well....maybe some other time down the road...

do wish the league had a little more depth to it....
