Please turn off delve progression notice it just makes me not want to play

Indeed. Just give us an option to toggle off these spam messages so we can enjoy the game. Can't be that hard?

I keep watching the ladder and as long as the number is increasing I cannot play. Great league, huh? :(

They kicked him off the solo ladder, but apparently there are spam notifications for non-solo delve too!

Come on, GGG, add an option to turn off this spam already.

This!
Nothing has changed but the "solo" in the messages and I doubt that anybody is really interested in that.
In a normal league I can start a bit later so I won't see the "xyz is the first char to enter zyx " but now I might have to wait several weeks before the spam stops?
Please let us turn this off!

Rofl i gotta laugh at this. Who thought it would be a good idea to have 1k+ levels and an announcement everytime the limit gets broken ROFL!

Great. Saw the counter had stopped at 1278 for a good while, so fired up the game. Managed to play maybe one hour before the retarded spam is back upon us. Should probably just quit the league altogether. Not like I'm having much fun anyway, between all the grinding and minute-by-minute non-stop spam.

Fix this fucking shit. This is dumb in the extreme.

I like the announcements, I think it gives a sense of community, it ties players into the wider idea of a league. This isnt a single player game like skyrim or grim dawn, that is why we play those games for 10s or maybe 100s of hours and we play this game for 1000s of hours. Because its a community game.

I feel like people need to just get over being so sensitive about other people being ahead of them, just seems like a bunch of fragile ego stuff to me tbh. Get over it and enjoy the fun of the community spirit, its all in good humour, these anthropophobic agoraphobic mindsets are no good.

It has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with these teams being much lower than me or being much better players. They are and that's fine. It has everything to do with getting spammed with these idiotic messages every 2-3 minutes for weeks on end, with no way to turn it off. Like I have written before, I like to immerse myself in games, it's their own world, if you get my gist, and every time this shit pops up I'm torn out of it. I'm sick and tired of it, and it's so bad that I can't play while this spam keeps hammering me every few minutes.

There is zero downside to having it toggle-able. Give us the option. You can enjoy the messages, and we can ignore it. Everybody are happy.

You can get this if they simply had a ladder for it. Fixed. Alternatively only announce every 50 or 100 levels. This way it's :D:D

I don't mind the announcements existing, I just think it wasn't very well thought through for the mines. Every 10 levels might be reasonable but not every single level, especially for levels 1-1000. I mean, if players were not being fed sulphite so they could delve non-stop it wouldn't be as bad either, but still kind of annoying for every single level. I just find it distracting.

As far as being envious of their progress, I'm only envious they get to Delve more than me without having to suffer the grind associated with the content. That's not fair. They get to just do the fun stuff while we have to slog through the real grind. That DOES piss me off. And the non-stop spam at the start of the league annoyed me before I found out that's how they were doing it, so it's not just envy when it comes to wanting them to reduce the frequency of the messages. :)

Quite happy for 99% of the player base to be ahead of me. Really happy that PoE is a community game.

For a healthy community, it's about enjoying the game the way each wants to enjoy it, right? Go fast, go slow, just farm lab, get that 40, grind to 100, stop at 90 -- to each their own.

The point is: enjoyment is not hindered if one has the option to turn off delve announcements. If getting the updates is enjoyable, leave it on. If not, turn if off. No harm done.

100% ack

this message is annoying as fuck

they should remove it once the first one deleted uber elder, that enough for their purposes ...
