When is this league out of Beta and going Live?

I think people forget at this point that leagues basicly are beta's.
In a league we test different mechanics and GGG decides if it was good or not and puts it core. A league is not meant to be entirely polished.

Betreyall was a disaster League,many people did not play it.
Yet the League is introduced in Standard and i and many people find our selves with not knowing the mechanics and not interacting with it!
In that case,why waste our time and rng with sh*t syndicate encounters?

All these changes that have been implemented since the start of the league and this upcoming patch all sound great. The league is getting better and better and I'm enjoying the Synthesis side of things more and more. Having said that....

I just can't understand why the leagues, at least since betrayal that I can think of, perhaps a little in delve as well, are being released in such a way that soooooooo many changes/bug fixes are required. I'll suggest it again although I'm sure it would fall on deaf ears due to the fact that other agendas/benchmarks have already been set. Why not take an extra 2-3 weeks to work out all the kinks and maybe even put up some sort of public test server to help with that? I can think of a group of people that would be all over that and with all the viewers they get you would get plenty of feedback even if the access ended up being limited. If all we were able to do was view this league for these first few weeks we could still give this same feedback. The issues are that visually obvious whether playing the game or just watching someone else.

Edit 1: Upon reading a few other comments here, there are so many, I realized I am echoing the sentiments of many others. Imagine that.

Please note that we're still testing and iterating on the above changes. They may change further before release, potentially significantly. We are trying to get these out as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience, feedback and support!

They are "still testing". That is good joke. Really? You are testing something? No kidding! You were not able to test any part of this junk league before it was released, and now you're "testing"? No, no, no. Now WE are testing and you can read about the results of these tests here and on reddit. You've only tested the patience of players that's already over.

As quick as possible? Another joke. All stupid mechanism are still there, live and kicking. STANDARD STASH TAB IS STILL FUCKED! Map drops, although it should actually be said "droppings" are still pathetic, as well as trade system. Good luck with your tests. Meanwhile I will test spring weather, some other games and then, on March 28 new Grim Dawn expansion. But keep testing. Thanks for support.

Very well said Indeed!I may support your testing theory my self!

Great and needed changes!

Pleased to see that u react so quickly, well done :)

These changes just sound like massively dumbing down the memory nexus and completely ruining what was fun about it by shifting it to 5 modifiers max instead of slowly building up and earning insane super memories, which is what was great about the current system. I loved this league and though i know few people did i wish you could find a way to make them happy (add suplhite memories everywhere so they can all piss off back to delve) without ruining the current system and making it into a brainless system.

I have not found a down side to the changes, even the boss BUFFS to diff (gotta watch out for the Katerina effect) are WELCOME, just don't make it shaper level

How about you actually TEST your sh1t before releasing a polished pile of donkey waste. If you had even bothered to test, you'd have known 10 minutes in Synthesis, SyntheSUCKS.


Rushing out poor quality beta mode product's every 3 months is now the norm, I expect nothing less and certainly nothing MORE from you guys!!!!!!

You didn't get even a single challenge in this league. Unless you found a way to erase your challenge counter, how can you know anything about this content? :D

What a weak comparison!
Thats like saying "Hey you have never tasted sh*t,how do you know it tastes bad"?
I will leave the decision making further to you!

Thanks for listening GGG!

No hes pretty much right it is literally impossible to play and not get at least 2 achievements. If you finish act 10 you get at least 2. So they pretty much know nothing about the league.

Most people agree that synthesis is bad. And betrayal was also bad (a fact proven by GGGs constant patching even after the league has ended). I know GGG wants as many leagues as possible to draw people to the game but it's pretty obvious that 4/year is just too many.

Quality and quantity need to be balanced. They're obviously not.
