Share your Feedback on an Upcoming One-month Event!

Event Type

• As you have already stated these events would happen only after the current challenge league have ended, so my vote is for a flashback, or an evolving mod event. These events are a lot of fun, and because they change while you are playing them there is a sense of ‘new’ even as the league continues.

Player Goals

• It sounds like you will be keeping the goal to make the top 20 or so players by experience. It give those who want to rush the ladder something to work towards. As for the goals for the majority of players, I liked the introduction of Challenge-lite as used in the 1mo league with the colored seraph MTX sets. There was a real sense of completion and there was a direct reward for it. My vote is for Challenge-lite.

Prize Structure

• The guaranteed prize structure receives my vote. Knowing there will be a reward is a fun motivator for me. My suggestion for prizes would be to do something like:
• the Armour set MTX they way the red and blue were done in the past (different colors, or different pieces recolored)
• Hideout decorations (like the totem poll or another pseudo-simple decoration)
• Different skin/color to a pet (mostly thinking the classic pets; frogs, weta, maybe basilisk/scorpion)

My feedback on Challenge Leagues duration:

I always assumed the one month combo races were the natural end to every season. They're always really fun, and with the challenges it gives us something to do outside of the usual lvl grind.

I personally think standard should always have every mod on at full force. For those of us who have played since closed beta the repetition gets old fast, and the mash up from the last flashback event was the most fun I've had with POE.

I suppose if we can only have one, I'd take a flashback event, with challenges, mxt rewards preferably. But please this time, just keep all the mods on all the time. I distinctly remember only playing the last flashback when everything was on, because it just felt like a crafted map with a few of them on. I know that would be hard in the beginning, but challenge is the point right?

You could always do something like a hobo pack for the rewards. Bundle up a bunch of the least purchased mtx's. A pile of frog pets or something like that just to see what people do with it in their hideouts.

Edit:

Or do a one month combo league, then a full season of flashback. Give you guys more time to work on whatever, and we get to laugh as we die horribly.

Hi

Would it be possible to upgrade some of the old rogue exiles with new spells and skills that weren't out when they were initially created and also lets see some new rogues?

cheers

I personally LOVE Ambush and Torment. THEY ARE AMAZING. A Flashback league with a concentrated amount of both would be glorious.

I think the Challenges and Level thresholds would be best for player goals, and item/skin rewards would be great for achieved level reward. MTX (like the set you mentioned) would be awesome for challenge completion rewards.

Whatever you guys choose, I think it'll be a great league and am really looking forward to it :)

edit: a likable pet might also be a good reward

I really liked the Torment/Bloodlines 1 month league, those cosmetic sets as rewards were really nice. You guys should do something like that again. ^^

Warbands with Tempest would definitely be my vote.

To incentivize playing from the start and keeping it interesting throughout, just slowly crank both modifiers through the roof until samhain in Wraeclast resembles a desert of flaming sand with fiery flakes raining from the sky.

I want to say 400% increase in warband map density and pack size, and triple tempests on the 31st, before then topping out at 250% and double tempests? No idea, I don't balance universes, but I like the idea.

My favorite reward by far was the Seraph armor.

Flashback, because the other option is a subset of it (hopefully it includes current leagues).

Also: Beyond best league!

I was a huge fan of the flashback league. It was loads of fun to get in on those all-mods days and really feel rewarded for the difficulty provided. If Tempest/Warbands is added to the daily rotation, I think that would be the best solution.

Also: YES, armour skin rewards incentive. I missed my chance on the last time due to a busy life situation, but I hope I can be involved in the next league rewards. I dislike the random reward system

I'd prefer a flashback event with many different combos of old mods, including Warbands/Tempest. As for prizes, guaranteed prizes are a much better motivator, and I would really like to see mini challenges rather than level thresholds to get these (challenges often have multiple ways you can approach them, whereas level thresholds are essentially just "play x number of hours"). For prize specifics, special MTX's are definitely a nice way to go (I was taking a break when the red and blue armors were available, and I'm still kicking myself for missing out on those). Exclusive armor colors or effects would work, and I'd even be happy with a special pet... I WANT A KIWI SOMEHOW PLEASE

Also, as someone who prefers to focus on hardcore in challenge events/leagues (to keep my stuff when it transfers over), I'd suggest having a much higher drop rate for magic items with special Warbands mods when Warbands are active. It was honestly miserable trying to get these while farming those elusive uniques, and I'd like a way to stash some of these in hardcore before it costs 5 billion exalts per attempt for some with Zana.

I would like to see a combined Warbands/Tempest league but a flashback league I feel would be just as fun. The most fun I have ever had in the game was during the combined league with the MTX Armour rewards. In my opinion I favor the guaranteed rewards for an event over some kind of RNG reward style. If I am going to put forth the effort to participate in an event then I want to know that my work will pay off. There was a previous event where all kinds of MTX's where given away based on certain criteria, level thresholds if I remember right. I initially thought the league sounded fun. I worked my way up to a respectable tier and had a ton of entries in the bag. At the end I walked away with nothing and felt disappointed.

Some new league options I would personally find really fun.
1 month endless ledge/descent champions - I like the idea of having to constantly push yourself and not being throttled behind the RNG that is maps that can limit your leveling. Also the main thing for me is actually that it would be different and not playing through the same game again. This would also unless it changed would tie into my second idea
1 month No Trading/Partying - completely solo - *on a side note with this I think it would be a great way to collect data to analyse the state of the game for most players. I think it would be pretty revealing to see how powerful builds can get without the aid of the market. Also it would be rather interesting to see how much wealth is actually built up & consumed without the aid of trading and it also does not give an edge to streamers who kind of get an innate advantage when it comes to things like this. Don't get me wrong, I actually love watching streamers and they are great for the game and the community.
1 month free range bosses - The bosses are all out of their cages. The can spawn anywhere, at anytime even in each others rooms or taking the place of another boss. Who doesn't want to fight Merviel along side Daresso. Encountering Piety when you were expecting Hailrake. Map bosses being total out of line. "Lets run this map because the boss is easy, oh crap ....why is Dom in Gorge!!!" I think this would be an absolute riot and could lead to some glorious deaths. Double bossed Palace map with a little Malichai sandwiched in the middle anyone? Getting smashed by Vaal for breaking some eggs and picking on Rhoas! Even if you could not actually switch the bosses in the game progressions, just the thought of randomly encountering these bosses anywhere in the world would be awesome. Say goodbye to not paying attention while you are casually running through Ledge!
1 month Map mods active - All zones have random map mods on them. Pretty self explanitory but it would be fun. Once again it would make you pay attention while leveling. I think this would probably be best as each zone globally has random map mods the change every 10 minutes or so. If they were randomized locally and you didn't like the mods you would just open a new zone until you got "rolls" you liked

As far as what the challenges should be. I personally do not care for really hard challenges that rely soley on the principle of being rich and/or being chosen by RNGesus. I personally despise unique challenges as had been said by many others. On the other hand I like how many challeges the past few leagues have been changed to "Needing 40/44 to complete" for example. You are not completely screwed by RNG but you still have to work on getting them. I also really like the mixed bag style challenge we have now.

I am sure whatever mods are on the league will be just fine. I personally would like to see something along the lines of this for rewards though

4 challenges per league (SC/HC) - 4 new unique MTX Armours (Same as something in game just alternatly colored.

Also a random drawing. Entries are based off of a tiered system. Each tier puts you into a drawing for something. similar to a previous event you had. They will not need to be as much as what the event had due to there already being a static guaranteed prize. This would be more like bonuses. Similar to the way you get entered into drawing while racing.
