Announcing the Prophecy Challenge Leagues and 2.3.0 Content Update

all in all not very pleased. Technical improvements are very good, but leagues, "Prophecy" content expansion itself... not very interested. After giving it a try most likely will get very demotivated to play after a week or tw

Edit:
And yeah, MORE different coins...

#2 edit:
Can you clarify, skill tree reset will be forced or optional? Though probably I am just wasting my time, you never answer important questions...

Two questions:

Is HC Prophecy league(i guess that will be the name of league) character transfered to standard or " softcore prophecy league"..

Do completed challenges HC count in softcore prophecy(if char is transfered there).

It's my birthday on the 3rd of June, so that's excellent timing! Might get the supporter pack as it's cool, I deserve a good present ;)

More on topic although the content itself does not seem toooo exciting (wouldn't expect it to be) the technical overhaul sounds absolutely amazing and even if they only announced this I'd be happy!

I'm glad we'll finally have the last labyrinth, we're really needing more endgame content that can rival atziri in terms of being a clear objective and not just open like maps.
Obviously the prophecy league itself seems like it will have a boss, but it's a pity that stuff like rigwold (and probably the prophecy boss) is not incorporated better into the game - it always feels like its a bit of a waste of development time, and as stuff like rigwold/prophecy endgame content wouldn't clutter the game (they could be for example cheap zana mods and div card drops) there's no reason to not expand the game 'horizontally' (arguably the labyrinth did this but it was an expansion and it's still flawed although a lvl 75 lab sounds promising but I bet its access will be more difficult?) until new expansions expand the game 'vertically'.

well i guess i will come back to poe. New content seems interesting.

Copying the following of mine from another thread...

So uh...

I've been playing for a long time but only recently made it to the higher levels with a viper strike build.

It is slightly optimized and I have prioritized tankiness. So I can't oneshot bosses at all. I'm not one of those people...

The gist seems to be that after the next patch my dps will be halfed because of the abusers. Currently at a meagre 8k on a lvl 74 shadow. How worried should I be?

I say this a mess and will confuse people. POE is becoming like Diablo 3 and will only appeal to the die-hard fan boys once the shiny has worn off.
To be honest since 2.0 POE has been getting worse in terms of content and enjoyment since 2.0, the direction of the game went way downhill.

I'll keep checking back once in a while when patches are made in order to see if the issues have been removed such as labyrinth, traps and myriad other tedious things that make this game not fun for me

Having a lot of fun playing rogue-likes at the moment and that suits me just fine

totally agree

glad more ppl see it that way all the whiteknighting here is blinding my eyes

cool purple man so cool awesome ggg rocks
cool lavatrap now you have zero fps

I go out from diablo 3 because of they change %dmg every season, and nerf builds every season.
I see here the same.

I'm not sure about 8 ascendancy points, fill two 4-point path or 4+2+2 will be way too broken, like Gladiator can have max block also max bleed, the already broken Trickster COC getting either a huge ES boost of frenzy charge gain, Scion have 2 notables also alternative start, game is too easy already.

Another softcore "game too easy" player? lol

Also, don't worry too much about being overpowered with your death-zerged 2 extra skill points. The effort needed to get an actual shot at the 4th lab might make you hate the game enough to not bother :)

Yes. I'm pretty sure obtaining the last 2 ascendancy points will require that you have already beaten the game; and that those that accomplished the task will be selling their services.

Man the feeling of not being excited anymore is pretty sad :/.. after so many hours the game feels dull with the same animations, i really cant play this game enymore :(

HC Prophecy characters who die go to standard. Challenges can be completed by any character in SC or HC - they are challenges for you - the player in the chair.
