I understand the start time isn't optimal for everyone, but this league isn't meant to be about the race to the top of the ladder. We'd rather run it for five weeks than start it late and have it shorter.

This will be a nice change for people that work weekends and usually end up having to start the league late.

This sounds like a lot of fun! Thank you!

Will it only work for rare items or items of any rarity?

Only rare (yellow) items. You'll start by sacrificing ones you don't need, but then the greed will take over...

So in other words, corrupt your uniques into rares and then sacrifice them?

hmm, I collect rares for the chaos recipe and sell the others for alteration orbs to become orbs of fusing.

I need that currency to trade for items, so I really don't know when I should use a rare for a area and being that I don't know what rare items cause what effect when sacrificed, I don't know if it's worth it.

I can see how good players that are efficient at farming and are rich could enjoy this, but not me.

Is is THAT hard to enjoy a game without being all efficient and stuff??

...You might want to look into considering Diablo 3 instead of this game, sir.

D3 is even worse when it comes to meta-nazis/efficiency/clearspeed dogmas. Try to run something different than the ultimate GG setup in GR groups and you're doomed to play solo for the whole season. And playing solo in D3 pretty much means going 10 times slower than anyone playing the meta without even knowing what he's doing.

Don't always expect it to be fair.

I fully expect that one of the effects will set my life to 1 after reading that. xD

Is there chance shrine could spawn one or more World Bosses? IMO, it would be fun to have (randomly?) spawn (1-10?) Malachai or every/another World boss in a single map. Imagine waiting for shrine effects and than you see Malachai coming up from ground behind you. lol




On another note, people complaining about not guarantied mtx is really shameful since this is FREE TO PLAY game and GGG only income is coming from support packs and mtx. Try some other games and see how players are getting literary ripped off or have to pay monthly fee just to play. There is no other game (besides LOL which is huge compered to POE) that has fair and balanced approach to free to play. So be nice and thankful they are still giving us stuff for free.

The Monday start date is pretty shitty considering that some of us work. I enjoy the first day rush of a new league! Gives me 5 less days to figure out the mechanics of the new league with everyone else, which is the most interesting part!

This is the greatest item sink idea EVER, hope it'll be implemented into the core game. But please, make them eat uniques and maybe gems too. idk, you sacrifice a Crown of Thorns and suddenly all mobs turn into Jesus or something

now i wish i had not played the really hard flashback event. i solved the challenge, which is nice, got the armour and do not using it, because i realized now that i dont like it that much i was expecting. my fault.

this event sounds like having always fun without being in fear about dying and not reaching level 85.

damn it.
