Path of Exile: Synthesis FAQ

Me: still don't like synthesis I would like to farm sulphite in Quarry and go delve
GGG: No fun for u, go mapping

we were lured into expecting an april fools gag, but surprise surprise, we have been fooled again lol

The fact that an FAQ is posted explaining the basics of the league, 3-4 weeks in, says it all. I knew all this btw.

I usually spend £120-$500+ supporting the game each league & play for most of it. This league I spent $30 & played for a few weeks. I get an itch to play now & again but find it difficult to stomach the new content, combined with the ways the old content has been reworked & incorporated (bestiary, betrayal, etc).

WHEN DOES THIS LEAGUE END?
A terrible league & no flashback/legacy leagues to look forward to anymore (thanks to custom leagues). Probably will see you next league, but may not. I have a lot of time to check out other games I could get hooked on instead.

I will try to give the latest bout of changes a decent look at if I can force myself to. Why should playing POE feel like such a chore?

This league is second worst only to bestiary and that was worse than standard... The mchanism is shit the clunkiness is shit pretty much everything is. I liked betrayal even with its quirks but this is just shameful. I hope it won't become a permanent addition.. but nowadays everything is so.. small chance... Ending the league prematurely would actually be a cheered decision on my part. (and many)

Fix map tabs in standard
Don't make fucking convoluted base game mechanisms
If one is utter shit don't make it a permanent addition.
DONT make this shit a permanent addition. Axe it and forget t ever existed as we will if we are let to. the memory nexus is utterly and totally unnecessary as it is the same as delve just worse. Even if you fixed it it is completely unnecessary - or delve is. One or the other - both is meaningless.

After years of people complaining how currency cluttered stash tabs you released a urrency tab to olve it then released a league that drps resonators and fossils.. and clutter stash tabs with shit that isnt usable even as currency... See why that is a stupid idea?

Argh it is just so annoying.. And betrayal was a glimmer of hope that you are starting to think things over first...

please change your release cycle from 3 months to 4 or more.
Give time for internal testing and asking yourself is this mechanic fun.
the game should be enjoyable to everyone on some level and not only rewarding to people who can play 10+ hours a day.
Create more automation with how the league rewards the player.
Betrayal was good, simply fill up bar go do reward.

-mastermind still is horrid and shouldnt be messing up anything on the tree when done.


Fix the ever growing list of bugs and poor implementation from previous leagues/ decisions.

Ok thanks for the FAQ of the league mechanic, it was really necessary...
A little wish for the next league... please explain it before and add a tutorial in game. PoE is a quit complex game and we all like it for that complexity but unlike the tutorial you have for new players around the standart things new league mechanics are often not really explained to well. It was ok in the last leagues... cause even without totally understanding the new mods you could have some fun... synthesis is just to complex... and it was really needed to watch some videos on youtube to understand basics of the nexus and the synthesizer. It is ok for some complex strategies to hide them or make them not to obvious, but not for the basics. Like for example for the synthesizer: "put in three rare fractured armour items or accessories or weapons of the same typ and synthesize them. The resulting item's base will be random of one of the three inserted and the ilvl will be of the highest item. It will be rare and have one new implicit if all fractured item has at least one fractured mod, two implicits for all at least two fractured mods and three implicits for all at least three fractured mods. The implicit mods will be choosen basing on the sum of all mods of the inserted fractured items"

Can you please stop making shit require 100 hours per week of out of game research?

We aren't trying to get a fucking masters degree in theoretical physics or quantum mechanics, we aren't playing PoE to discover the underlying mysteries of the universe.

We're here to kill mobs and get dank loot.

I still have no fucking idea how any of the synthesis mechanics work. I don't even bother with them because they are so convoluted and make so little sense.

Just, please, stop making PoE have to be a second Major in college in order to properly understand how it works.

Just let us play the game simply. Thanks.

This is my main problem with the past few leagues. I think incursion and delve hit it head on, but other than that, from Bestiary onward, I feel that the mechanics have become too convoluted.

How about you add some real "frequently asked questions" to your list of "obvious questions no one bothered to ask"?

Tell me more about Synthesised Items!
-its all shitty items

this explanation should have been given IN GAME at THE START of the leaguen, not month after
BTW even your most hardcore streamers QUITTED POE
This league is just a money grab, i have 40 odd stash tabs already and NOT ENOUGH????
