Announcing Path of Exile: Bestiary League

panquetzaliztli

Im excited, Being from and Nz and being literally a stone toss from the main office here in Auckland i am extremely humbled that staff are making a effort to uphold the legacy of d2. Path is now making a footprint in the industry and still progressing and keeping your current players entertained aswell as trying to create paths image more visible to newer players just like how the Elder expansion rolled out. Taking the risk of damaging the balance charts by throwing in really powerful items then it turning in to a huge success i feel this might be along the same lines of last league. Which hopfully means another great stride to open doorway to more opportunities for this free little-BIG game from New Zealand.

Just trust me on this:

Make Flasks = Temporary Pet Summons, you just revitalized your entire game.

Make the mechanic a boring grind into crafting more RNGeebus itams?


You did not.




That's Free. Oh, and looking @ the code, it's not exactly hard to do.

I am extremely worried these beasts are going to slow things down alot when trying to make sure you don't miss or kill one.
Also if there is any chance you can blow these special monsters up before you realize what you are killing it will punish people who actually kill monsters efficiently, not to mention the poor souls who play things like ED/contagion, frostbolt, volatiles or anything that has potential to off screen kill. Very worried that I may not enjoy this league mechanic and the builds I planned to use will be self-defeating... I got far too over hyped...
I hope I am wrong but this mechanic seems fairly self-explanatory with how you will play to get the league rewards.

Edit: Thankfully I played out all of Abyss League very well, because the dozens exalts and tons of chaos will help me get started in standard in a month. Also this is somewhat ironic how I was so anxious for Abyss to end and now I wish it would stay. :(

Finally a league that pushes me out of my map-clear comfort zone. I've been wondering when something like this would happen. Also for the shield throw skill, do passive nodes like "40% increased defenses from equipped shield" affect the damage at all?

I'm excited for all the time I thought I'd spend playing the new league that I likely will spend doing something more productive now.

Feels good in one way, but I am kind of worried that this might be the beginning of the end for POE.
But what do I know. Maybe you guys wanted to throw nets at mobs and wear crab armor all along. Not judging. Have fun with that!

I honestly thought this was some kind of trolling that got taken too far.

I guess it's reality.

Yep, this is a good point, how the spectral shield gonna scale.

Sooooooo...what you're saying is that in the next league, we're totally gonna get a menagerie stash tab :)

Well that's a disappointment.
Never liked Pets, now I have to collect them all.

Won't be buying the supporter packs. See you in 5 months maybe.
