not sure about the league, but the pack looks gorgeous!


It does in theory, but my 2-hand duelist has clipping issues with the weapon and the cloak. Just looks awful. It makes me really sad that only 30% of the armours work with this character due to the weapon clipping. I wonder what I payed 50 € for if I can't wear it...
Interesting! Can't wait to see how it feels to play that capture game.

Did you tried to contact GGG's tech support for this? Feedback?

do you have any screenshots/video footage? Are you sure it's not just on your side? some Driver/DX glitching? anyone else has issues like this?
Playing for joy ♥

If interested, check out my Hideout(s): /view-thread/2226019

I don't see how this can work with the fast clear speed meta. Are special mobs immune for a while or what prevents them from dying with everything else instantly. Are we supposed to look at every pack first? This Pokemon or Monster Hunter or whatever style of gameplay isn't really something I personally like and really nothing I am looking for in a game like PoE. I'll give it a shot but yeah.

shit white mobs probably not, but if you take a look on videos some of the mobs we have to capture looks pretty bad ass. Like Bosses. They are rare, strong, and probably are the best to craft valuable items.

So, this actually looks really interesting.
My end, it justifies my means,
All I ever do is delay,
My every attempt to evade,
The end of the road
And my end....

I havent been a fan of the last few leagues, but i still played and completed them....

this league announcement makes me not even want to play it....and we havent even seen patch notes yet...

i feel like the hrs of time playing and the few hundred dollars that i would normally spend each league will be better invested into something else....

Relax guys. Let's wait and play the league first.

I've seeing the feedback is 50% "shit" and 50 "awesome".

Be careful: Harbinguer league first feedback was 100% "awesome" and ended up being the top1 boring league of all time of this game. First look was totally awesome but after you kill 10 garbinguers and drop x45389458345 alchemy shards we was all wanting to leave the league 2 days later. LOL

The end-game grind on capturing mobs and crafting items looks pretty cool, probably not a 2 days league I would say. :)

I don't expect this to be unknown, to be honest. If that is a glitch on my side I apologise and need advice on what to do.

I've not actually played a League, so was looking forward to the experience and thought I'd cut my teeth on it and plonk ~$20-40 on the experience.

Some questions:

1) Why on earth are captures / lexicon tied to a 1/5 mechanic? That's a terrible bit of padding that doesn't need to exist (esp. in a temporary league). It's lazy - and if you then tie that to a crafting system where RNGeebus is at the helm? Ye Goddess, that's bad. FFS, it's 2018, let's break this terrible design mechanic where we pad out content behind 1/8 found or 1/5 captured. Nonsense.

2) It all feels very "end-game content only". While I understand the Whales can finish the story in less than 10 hours, it's not exactly how you create new Whales. How's about a more gentler curve where capturing creatures is implicit from the very start as choice? i.e. each town should have a NPC desiring captures and so on. Gating it behind Hideouts and then making it a crafting grind is wasting a massive potential for a new mechanic. In fact, it's probably the worst way to introduce a mechanic that talented people spent time coding.

3) As stated: the current mechanics (esp for pet builds) make the targeted assassin missions almost impossible. Adding in content that requires 'saving' mobs until a trap / mechanic is deployed is a recipe for disaster. Your engine simply doesn't support this level of nuance at the moment - how's about coding something where "Target X if used = no attacks from pets" etc? Oh, and don't make it a frakking skill, the hotbar is tiny enough as it is (esp. for pet builds).

4) Price point: currently it's really bizarre. You can drop $20 for points that are useful or $30 for a pack that contains less points than if you bought $20+$5+$5 and then all the options jump into $60 - $480 territory. Newsflash: plonk a decent points / deal @ $30 - $40 and you're golden. I'm willing to dump $30 on you: I don't care about cosmetics and if your "deals" are worse than purely buying points... whelp. I spend less.

5) Pokemon land, the Hideout Edition: all cosmetic and sacrificed on the altar (see what I did there?) of boring mechanics. You'd have been far better off making the sacrifice not a boring x1 frog bandit, x4 elemental wheeze, x7 imps with twitching fingers = %10 shot at a craft that you'll ditch in 20 levels but something meaningful. Cosmetics? Check. Pets? Check. New abilities? Check.

Crafting RNGeebus itams that might be good for a single build but no-one else cares? When there's literally four other cases of exactly the same mechanic in game already?

You think Whales will be excited by this? What. The. Frakk. Are. You. Smoking?


Oh, and trust me: if you'd made the crafting give a %RNGeebus chance at pets, people would be throwing money at you.

No, they'd be doing more than that: they'd be orgasmic over this League[1].


Oh, here's a freebie:

6) Instead of boring items, we made crafting the new capture mechanics into a new type of flask that summons <insert monster X here>. Some Pet-Flasks scale with %minion modifiers, some with <zzzzz add in all build details here>


Wow. 10 mins, just made your League so much better. Oh, and game-changing, since people have to choose to use pet-flasks rather than their current meta.

Anyhow: I'll play it. I'll dump $20 on you. But you're doing this all so wrong it's not funny. 1/5 captured? Let me guess, CTRL+C / CTRL +V gets hard to do in 2018 in the spreadsheets?

ZZZz.


[1] Obviously they'd be shittier pets than the paid ones, but hey-ho.
