GGG Should remove the Uniques Challenge

I have said this the first time league challenges were revealed back in June.

It is because the challenges have a physical reward - some stupid shirt or hoodie or whatever - that ggg has to put in some sort of ridiculous limiting factor that can only ever be completed by a handful of people, aka the uniques challenge. Otherwise they would have to become a free clothing company.

Remove the damn shirt, stick with exclusive in game rewards or achievement points and it will be a perfect system that can be enjoyed by all.

I totally agree with everything you have said,and as the other guy pointed out a lot of people got demotivated to even try the unique challenge*incuding myself*, but exclusive in-game rewards like simple micro transactions and more easy-to-achieve challenges would be more fun.

PS : I'm not sayin make them all fucking easy like = use these types of currency or the vendor recipe challenge but tone down that unique thing and bring the others up a bit in terms of easy/hard to achieve basically level them out a bit all of them.

the one problem i have with the unique challenge is that i don't see how you can get all 191 without getting stash-tabs. its a very sneaky way of saying give us some moneys. while that's probably not what the devs intended, it sucks for people who don't have more tabs.

+1 mate, living in a CIS country (Belarussia), literally cannot donate for packs. If could - would be gold/divine/warrior supporter for sure. But there is one solution - you can create other chars on this league and take items from stash on them.

+10000

You know, it would be a lot less demoralizing if they gave people who reached 6 an ingame effect or pet, and then 7 stars a cooler ingame pet or effect, and then 8 stars the tshirt.

I see no harm in this and people that wanna go all in still get the tshirt. I would work my ass off for some kind of exclusive pet or helm every 4 month league.

I'm sure this has been suggested, if not it needs to be with lots of support :D So many people are gonna lose interest in 4 month leagues when they realize they are fighting a losing battle.

Just try to trade, made my first 20 exa on domination in 2 weeks after this league started. It's not this hard really, all you have to know is prices. Then ordinary buy-sell stuff.

This is one of the PoE problem. If you trading - you not playing, you playing on Auction game, but you should to play ARPG game, if you know what i mean right? Plus i don't want to spaming 50+ first trade channels to sell my stuff cuz is BORING and ANOYING. I've created my shop on forum and make some exalted orbs from him, but i'm not a close to get the Voltaxic or Ming's Heart.

You don't need stash tabs to complete the challenge. The uniques have to be either in your stash or in a character's inventory/being worn to count towards the challenge. You can fit at least 12 uniques in a character's inventory, plus another 20 or so per stash page. In no way does this challenge require stash tabs. Also, the Domination/Nemesis challenge is 65 uniques, not 191.

TL;DR: Make mules; don't buy stash tabs for the unique challenge.

Yes mate, I agree. Never got any char past 80, simply cause enjoy trading much more.
Well, it's boring and annoying for you, but not for everyone ;)
And yes, this challenge is really annoying for those who like farming/leveling/exploring stuff,
so maybe GGG just need to at least lower amount of necessary uniques.

daum 4L wanderlast do want!
agreed about trash drop from maps, we got nothing but garbage uniques from endgame bosses.
dont need to remove challenge its fine, no free teeshirts!

lol :D my goal it's not a t-shirt, but anyways uniq challenge is stupid. I'm sure not more than 5+ ppl can complete it without using the RMT.

Basically, this.
Honestly I'm surprised there's a reward at all, most online games just have challenges with no, or just something stupid like in-game title, rewards.

I don't care about the rewards really. My complaint is none of these challenges are fun or unique. All 8 are "play the game, ALOT". I'd personally like to see more interesting stuff. Something you actually can build for/strive for, even if it requires one of the weirdest builds ever, just something to mix it up, a game-ordained fun goal.

Right now the entirety of the challenge league system is just bland to me, it's barely any different from the standard game. So why even bother as it stands now?
