Dear GGG, not interested in your POE2 test event "Legacy of Phrecia"
|
I'm pretty happy overall but the atlas tree switch looks dangerously like an own goal to me, I don't want to be a doomer but its unusual for GGG to take something deterministic and replace it with an rng system that is anything like as fun.
That isn't to say it can't be done though but I will say the idea of a relic inventory for maps makes me frown from a design front, its such a cumbersome design choice. If they go nutty with it I think its gonna be pretty fun though. |

The ascendancy test looked pretty damn awesome and I was pretty hyped for that. Even if that is also just a PoE2 test, at least it would be tested in a fun game. I would have been stoked for just that and nothing else.
The atlas change knocked the hype train down hard. It’s a 1 month event, just do the ascendencies and let it rip. Atlas is damn near perfect. On top of the relic system looking generally bad, why the hell would you make them unmodifiable? Powerful drop only uniques with rollable magic/rare tier items would at least be somewhat palatable for SSF. I don’t see why this can’t just be added straight in to the beta game, the endgame can’t really get any worse. |

" Me too. But I think it will run longer than one month. But hey, if it only runs for one month, it means that 3.26 is ready. If it runs for more than one month? Well, more stuff can be done. Glass half-full? Maybe, but I take what I can at this point. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" I kind of like the idea of it except as a replacement to the atlas tree. If it was in addition to with maybe less powerful relics, I think it has potential to interest me. Thanks for all the fish!

" My completely unsubstantiated guess is that the event stops right before PoE2 0.2 is released. Last edited by Pestilence_PoE#6339 on Feb 10, 2025, 12:33:11 PM

" I agree pretty much. Not sure i get a good feeling about no atlas tree. Seems a serious serious chance, and not enough time to ensure its feesible. But, it is what it is. GGG - Why you no?

" That would (sadly) make sense. But I urge you... Please let me hold on to my half-full glass, please :P Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" I struggle with optimism right now around POE1 development. Thanks for all the fish!

this whole thing stinks of intentional SABOTAGE so that lead dev can point to "look how badly the PoE1 event went, we can go full tilt on PoE2 now" ...

" They havent even STARTED on 3.26. They have said as much. |
