This all seems kind of cool, but it also seems really bloated, needlessly complex, yet more limited access content that involves a bunch of nonsense you have to go through basically because u guys are bored. You are devs, u feel u have to do something, u want to do something, your game doesnt really need it, in fact even more complex limited access ultra rewarding content is everything your game doesnt need, but youre gonna crowbar it in anyway because hey, its the next league, u got to do something. its got to be big and u have to feel like ur flexing ur dev muscle to get your job satisfaction fix.


The rewards are meaningless, so much power creep in this game I can blow through all the content that your game will allow me to reasonably access with self found simple rares. Yet here we are, even more bloated layers of power creep introduced via more bloated limit access convoluted content. Youve saturated rewards to the point where nothing is rewarding, I just look at all this new stuff and think who gives a fuck? I stopped giving a fuck about anything reward wise in perandus which is where the entire game because a bloated joke of loot raining from the sky and everyone being able to destroy everything on the screen in a second even if they remove 3 of their main link support gems.



I just want content like delve, except I want to be able to access it. This whole thing uve done is just whatever, thats my reaction, "meh, who cares?". Some of it looks cool, delve looked cool too, Ive never got to the bits in delve that looked cool in the trailer because u fucking gated it to the point where I never managed to get that far and just gave up playing your game.

Does this make me want to come back? No. Simply saying hey, were letting you actually play delve content now without all the fucking around would have been 100000000x more appealing to me than all this whatever this is that uve conjured up. Another dream within a dream with a thing and a menu that leads to an interface where you click the thing and then join it to the other thing and then play the zone and find the whatever that you grab and that lets you go back to the menu where you access the map that lets you select the node that links to the whatsit....

fuck sake man. Endless dungeon, log in, zone into dungeon, play for 7 hours without having to trade or roll something or whatever, just play, just heres a dungeon that has monsters in it that are strong enough to feel like ur fighting something worth while. How hard is it to just do that?

whatever.

This is actually great comment.
Why so much gating? Why maps? Why sulphite? Why spawn raters? Why you just can't access something you want? Why grind or jump through hoops just to access the content you want to play?

Because f2p. Because they need to sell stash.
So stockpile your maps, your scarabs, you frags, you breach stone frags, your everything.
In paid-upfront Diablo clones there are no such gating, because those games are not f2p, but all f2p games have mandatory gating just to squeeze cash out of players.
Some games are more aggressive than others.
POE is relatively moderate with it, but still you can feel it and taste it, when you just don't have sulphite. Go farm niko instead.
Go farm frags instead.
Go play content you don't want to play in order to access content you want to play, all the while collecting bloated assortment of drops that would be a waste to not pick up.
Or trade for it, if you're not SSF, but you just can't spend entire day delving or doing temple or hunting beasts, there will always be gates.

I agree. I am passing on this league, hoping for the best in July.

Have fun everybody!
DO NOT farm for ONI!

Agree!

Started to play standard again... Leagues were not as rewarding as i hoped for. And all this crafting-stuff is not really meant for me. As a casual player, there are to many possibilities and it is to expensive (e.g. found 1 ex in the last two leagues). I enjoyed the betrayal encounters al ot but Synthesis... do not know... too much Incursion


Have fun with Synthesis!

The league itself looks intriguing, but I'm more impressed by the massive spell reworks and tweaks, and new spells of course.
Looking forward to seeing new builds this league.
Good job GGG.

+1, i'm at the same point with PoE
My body is ready.
this day starts so great:
i called in sick, watched the first 3 announcements here which are the rework for storm burst and the synthesis league...
just to find ggg are even lazier than i am congratulations!

storm burst is a channeled storm brand and synthesis is a recycled breach

WHY ON THE FUCKING EARTH SHOULD WE GET STH NEW AND WHY IS EVERYONE SO HYPED STILL
Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.
