meh, too little too late. massive player drop off over the last week. stop releasing buggy unfinished content trying to please the sheep and take your time making good polished content.

increase map drop rates. i do not buy that they were increased whatsoever.

poe will die if you keep going this route. learn to admit where you are wrong, listen to the community and stop being children with your ears plugged screaming "la la la" when we give you feedback.

peace.

Imagine having the nerve to shitpost the game with no clue what so ever, we all know you're just a pathetic noob thats salty he can't git gud.

While we understand that players have been able to somewhat deterministically find Betrayal encounters by repeatedly creating new instances of areas such as The Quarry or The Foothills, we don't want this to be the correct answer. It is both bad for server load and not exactly the intended avenue to gather Intelligence.

I really liked Betrayal but i never understood why you didn't gate high tier rewards behind monster level or map tier, it was done in Delve where Bosses where only able to spawn at certain depths, now fracturen items are much more valueable when obtained in high tier areas.
Really don't get why you would make very valueable rewards even be obtainbale by low lvl grinding ...

You really should have done these Betrayal changes before keeping Betrayal in the game.

As for the league mechanics, I don't know what you could do to not make it feel like a huge hassle, probably will be a short league for me anyways.

the syndicate is crazy OP, your goal was to spook us, you did, you had your fun, now pls nerf their damage output couse i cant complete a red map with syndicate without dying, and i can tank the touch of god from dominus.... also you need to do something about the memory decay, couse half the times I cannot complete the encounters couse it starts decaying near the stabilizers so i have no chance of getting there in time, not even if i start going to the right direction for the first try, the decay system is the complete opposite of fun

STOP MAKING POE ELITIST, THINK OF THE AVARAGE PLAYERS, WE RE NOT ALL STREAMERS DAMN IT.

Keep up the work GGG, can't wait to see what you have in store for nexus changes! Really hoping to see you make it more worth while, so we can get another cool piece of content that battles mapping.

Unless you vastly buff veiled drop rates,or undo the change where you increased the number of unveils required to unlock a craft, then we still have a big issue.

Nerfing Quarry is not the answer, it doesn't suddenly fix the problem.

The issue was not that people could farm quarry, but that people felt they needed to farm quarry.

What you have done, yet again (it seems to be your standard approach), is to remove the solution that players found to issue, rather than just fixing the issue.

I don't get you, people. Ever since the league launched people have been screeching constantly at GGG to fix the Betrayal encounters, particularly intervention causing the game to freeze for like solid 10s and dying during that interval being unable to do anything. Every new announcement people complained about intervention. Every time they addressed other issues they complained that intervention should be a priority since it impacts the core game, not just the league. Which is very fair. Now that they're finally addressing it I see people complaining about them prioritizing this and not making adjustments in other areas.

...There's just no pleasing everybody. They can't do everything at once. Yes, this league is unpopular and may not be that good at retaining players, there are fixes to be made to gems and other mechanics, but fixing issues making the game unplayable is always a priority. Also some changes take more time than others. This fix has been in the works for some time already. Making design changes to Synthesis mechanics is something they can't do on the fly without considering the many factors it would affect on the rest of a game that's already very complex. And then they have to implement those changes trying not to break anything else in the process.

I'm just hoping these adjustments do fix one of the main complaints on this league, which was intervention lag.

Take a step back and fix the game.

Bet you are all already sitting in the conference room brainstorming for the next convoluted league mechanic. Go for something simple and instead allocate the majority of resources to FIX. THE. GAME.

Rework, revisit and overhaul the stuff that is already there instead of adding more to the heap. There is so much great content but everything needs polish and a better structure. Right now it is absolutely just a heap of stuff. Your flow is constantly interrupted by "THE TEMPLE IS LOCATED!" "YOUR SULPHITE IS FULL!" "THE SAFEHOUSE IS READY!" "YOU HAVE 10 FRAGMENTS!".

OMG, YES!
It's about time.. I am sick of betrayal freezes. So much Experience has been lost because of this problem
It should NOT have taken this long to fix this however, it seems like this has been thoroughly addressed so. We will see..

Two weeks into the league and still can`t craft fractured with fossil or essence. WTF
