Development Manifesto: Bestiary as a Core Game Mechanic

RIP, this move will make PoE not playable for me anymore. After All these Years good bye my Exile.
Seriously Beastiary just made SSF HC freaking easy.

Best thread ever, 10/10 GGG.

I don't get you. You played it for years and because they don't add it to the core you stop playing? Or was it so damn good that you don't want to play SSF HC anymore? Too used to quality of life?

Damn. I wish I would understand all that negativity, no matter what GGG does.

It is described scientifically by the Kübler-Ross model as the Change Curve. Change usually start with shock and denial. This effect is increased by how Internet communication works. Plus, many people get used to just dump their first thought and move on.
But I wouldn't worry too much about it, since most of us will not remember any of this, when the next change occures, which is the announcement of the new league end of this week... ;-)

I've posted in previous threads that adding Bestiary to the core game wouldn't matter and we could just ignore it if we wanted to. But after playing flashback for a bit I changed my mind, and I am really glad bestiary won't be added to the core game.

Flashback league also made me realize how much bestiary destroyed my will to play the game. Einhar, nets, going to menagery, etc... really annoying.

Flashback mechanics should be the standard base game mechanic!(or leaguestones) Encountering three previous league mechanics in a zone makes the game LOTS of fun. Every future challenge league could simply be added to a core that already contains three past mechanics. That way, even when a league is as bad as bestiary, it won't have too much of an impact on the actual normally fun gameplay.

Thanks GGG!

PS: The bestiary boss gear seemed actually fun additions to the game, even though I never went for those sets. Players seemed to make builds around/with it and it added unique attributes to the game. Would love it if these sets were made available by making the 4 bestiary bosses into map bosses, so players who want them can go after them still. But without the bestiary mechanics itself.
PSS: Really glad this also confirms there will be no bestiary related challenges in upcoming leagues.

So satisfiying, didnt like this league that much...

Please just ... don't.

Never understood this mindset. Majority of the community is against something, therefore I gotta gloat ? Where's the logic in that ?

Edit: guess I should have read a lil further.

Please Don't GGG,
This will ruin whole game.
Doing Bestiary is very good but only on 3months I don't see this in core game.

@GGG if you want to keep Path of Exile alive just listen our community and dont add this. Thanks
