Betrayal as a Core Game Mechanic
|
Having tried PoE for the first time since beta in 2012, there were some great changes made to the game. Currency is easier to get than it was, and the game progression felt good. For me, the Betrayal mechanic was awful. The idea of rivalries, trusteds and having to manage who goes to which safehouse was a convoluted mess. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be any viable endgame in PoE. I want to log in and blow shit up. I'd be happy as a clam doing maps and delve, but the difficulty in getting decent maps to drop as well as Sulfite pretty much limits my game time to the same RNG nightmare that the game had when it was first written.
It's too bad, because there's still great potential here, but not much to do after the main grind of making it to level 10. Guess I'll check back in in another few years. |

" Such a gentle feedback. Can second this |
|
" Agreed they need a way to do nothing but delve in the endgame, if you want. |
|
" You've always had to unlock crafting recipes each league. |
|
" Just look at this! https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/ate9o4/-/eh1zkfx/?context=3 Seems like we have a chance to Delve will come back. #MakeDelveGreatAgain |

" Well I would prefer that they finally make a fun league again with good mechanics and good rewards so that the players aren't forced to do old league mechanics because the league is shit!

This is disappointing. The reason this league was fun for me was I was able to push my first character to 98, and kill uber elder. (playing 5 years).
Poorjoy's sucks for exp runs, and isn't fun to run. NOT a fan of the breachstone nerf. Having a reliable way in 820 to join groups for exp, is fun. Like pure breach or beachhead. I enjoyed many of the features of betrayal, mainly the stream lined crafting, new crafting options, and being able to do other leagues content via masters in maps. The syndicate encounters however, imo weren't fun, and were too much effort for the rewards, They shouldn't be added to the core game. There should be a way we can do delves consistantly. Delves are fun. Trying to farm sulphite when niko isn't on every map, isn't fun. Scarab nerfs = not fun as well. I was never able to abuse them and get insane rewards, maybe others have idk. |

I am a new player as of Betrayal and I was impressed with the game. I am still playing as much as day one and will likely carry my enthusiasm into synthesis. That being said, the nerfs mentioned in this post to me seem ridiculous.
As a new player its hard as hell to get anything good in this game as is. I found a total of 3 good unique items all league and half the currency I made was from selling things that I would have probably had more fun using..ie breachstones and maps. I realize part of this is the learning curve for the economy...I got a lot better at realizing what was good throughout the league...but even so there is no way I was making enough currency to run 100s of breachstones to make it to 100. I know many players made it to 100 this season and apparently more than ever by far...but really..why is it such a slog to get to max level anyways? Who cares if there are more 100s running around. Shouldnt max level be obtainable while trying to maintain a full time job? I guess its meant to be a status symbol? Then masterminds just reshuffle the board...I guess in theory this could work to your benefit but it sounds to me like most of the time it will end up in the same result...running another 100 maps to get the people back in position to get the loot I want. Not really much different than a reset. Sulphite falls into the same complaints as above...unless I wanted to do some mindless countless syndicate low level runs to farm scarabs its another expense and already took long enough to fill up. |

" my personal guess, 3 months are not enough to make something really new. that only happens in content being for the big expansions (every 4 leagues). and i don't agree with "shit", yes you die more and it's more difficult but how can you bring back players on the right path after spoiling them with average threats having amazing rewards? like in delve where it rained chaos? age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
