What We're Working On

Lake of Kalandra has no new content, rewards less than any league in the last two years and overall does nothing to justify it being league mechanic.
The bosses are reskins of invasion and vaal side area bosses as well as some minibosses from acts, some with insane buffs (Ironpoint rain of arrows hits for some 3k phys in A8-9 and hits with very little delay).
The drops are silly. I set up a tablet with 8 tiles and the final tile has a currency chest that drops 1 chaos orb for a three notch exile encounter. What's the point going into the Lake if a simple heist contract rewards 5-10 times the currency?
The huge nerf to harvest, where prior to lifeforce being implemented I'd get a harvest encounter with say, 3 reforge life chaos rolls and ocasional (rare) augment life, now I have to do 2 whole harvest encounters to save up enough lifeforce for a single reforge life , the jokes sure get better don't they?
The Arch Nemesis and essence life interaction gives a 2 essence 2 archnemesis mob more life than Merciless Izaro. And more damage.
With all that, it's apparent that the developers only care for POE2 now and don't spend any time or resources on the league releases. Here's the reality dearest devs, you HAD a good product I was willing to spend money on. And nothing spoils the opinion about your development process worse than seeing this product going to waste because you're too busy gambling on POE2 being better.
You ruined Sentinel with the Arch Nemesis pushed into core gameplay without any playtesting (even if the "extensively tested" meme is funny, it's apparently not true) or balancing, you reheated ten years worth of leftovers and said that's a League. At this rate, you won't need a competitor to sink your ship, you're busy bucketing water into the boat yourself.

With each league, the game slips into dullness. It's no longer fun to play. The player gets weaker and weaker, without getting anything in return, and the opponents get stronger and stronger, but without reward. Impossible currency sustain... Why am I getting 10 flasks per rare instead of chaos? Why, if in the last league, for 10 reforge life, I had to run 2-3 t16 maps, now it's 8-10? These changes will not make the game better, there needs to be a lot more, start listening to the players... We want a fun mapping with exalted orb drops, not hardship and suffering.

I rarely post on these sorts of threads. I, even, really liked the Synthesis league, but this is just not fun.

I get that they want to slow the game down, but for people who've been playing since the Vaal side areas went in 2014, all you could do was rerun the main campaign, which I've done more times than I can count. I don't have any good numbers, but I'm struggling to get gear I need, and I'm kind of stalled on act 3 at the moment. It's just not fun to spend 5 minutes beating on a rare (granted I don't have my main skill gem yet), and getting 1-3 whites, if you're lucky and no currency to actually craft something better.

Honestly its been a couple leagues since I paid for MTX- I have been waiting for them to make the game fun again. I am glad this post happened before I reached maps, because that saved me a lot of pain and suffering.

Looks like another league I will sit out, and I guess I have D3 when the next season drops soon. Otherwise I think I will replay DoS2 and finally finish AC: Valhalla.

It's been a bummer seeing this game decline since 3.13, and as a relatively casual player (4k hours since Talisman league) there just hasn't been much incentive beyond checking out the league mechanic, which now is even more of a joke than ever since its just a waste of time. See ya until next time

Corporate for "we're not wrong, you're wrong"

welp... I've had a good run with this, enjoyed the heck out of the game for years upon years (since act 2 was the "final" act)

This is no longer enjoyable, I don't want to slog through 10-15 maps while getting an incredibly slow trickle of low-mid value currency, to then find one kinda valuable item, which then sells for a quarter of what it should have, because no one else is finding currency either (unless they're doing the possibly most soul crushing league feature ever introduced to the game, AKA: Heist)

I'd rather work 8 hours on a factory floor, than play one hour of PoE in this state.

If this is your vision for the game, then congratulations, I'm noping out, you finally got rid of me after what? 10-12 years?

I hope you're proud of what you'e creating now, I bet Tencent will love when you introduce drop boosts, story skips and such...

because hey, fun fact: this has been seen before, a game that was good in the state it was in, being pushed to be much much less fun, only for the devs/distributors to add in P2W which can then bring you back to the former baseline.

I'm not angry... I'm disappointed!

It amazes me how ppl can not see this ….

Nerf nerf nerf nerf nerf —-> p2w shop ——> profit

Really well written. It is corporate speak for you are wrong not us. Honestly the meme of Fun not allowed is really true here.

Is this a joke?

I seriously hope you reconsider everything said here and fix the game

ggg roll back pls game to 3.13 state and reconsider your course for game balance. game becomes worse and worse every league with one exeption for this 6 launches.

Hit yellow maps and finding the will to play very hard, despite this usually being my favorite part of the game. Harvest is butchered beyond recognition, rares are uber bosses, and essence monsters are a league of their own. I can't even sustain orbs of alchemy for my maps. Something is horribly, horribly wrong. Don't take this as community toxicity, take it as the feedback it is-- id est, honest feedback to a toxic update.

I think it's fine.

I'm enjoying the game and didn't notice the crying until empy complained about his team not making 5 mirrors on day 2, now reddit is in a total meltdown and it's hilarious.

Why allow your hate of a streamer blind you to how terrible this league is
