What We're Working On

Everything will go smoothly in in 3.7 if the following will happen:
1. Fixed syndicate 1hitting/ lag squad
2. DO NOT add synthesis in the core game, You have the guts to not add legacy league as core game and it was successful league and fun, how much more a boring and a failed league like synthesis will be added? It will just add alot of clutter in the game.
3. Refer to 1 and 2

Can you confirm also that flicker will be the winter orb equivalent for melee in 3.7, please?

And hopefully with some slightly better mechanics so that it doesn't just get us killed when we flicker into shit out of our control?

... a League of a simpler scope than the last few.
... internal playtest version of the new league is much further along than leagues normally are at this point in the development cycle.

- Awesome, much needed. Looking forward to a high-quality 3.7.0 release.

"

... considering ending Synthesis on PC when the 3.7.0 expansion launches so that people can continue to play right up until launch if they so wish.

- Would prefer a break to organise migration to standard.

Also, GGG please communicate what you are working on to fix core game / standard issues e.g. betrayal integration with core, map stash tabs / atlas reshuffle impact, performance.

Thanks for all the hard work!

p.s. most of us dont give a shit about standard league... so if you wanna end the league on a new start it wont affect many people.

Most people quit by month 2... so most people wouldnt be playing Synthesis by the time the newest league is about to launch.

Most don’t give a shit about your opinion.

See how easy it is to generalize?

Hahaha ... Bravo cgexile, well said.

Hey GGG can we get some new races with alternate art as rewards like before??? Like the cutthroat and very short races (8h, 4h, 2h, 1h). That was epic and new players could like it!!!

We are very keen to see how the community feels about this before we go about changing it. Let us know your thoughts! Related to this, we are interested in feedback on whether players would prefer that we have leagues run up until when the next one starts on PC, rather than ending a few days beforehand.

Normaly I'm realy happy to spend some few days in std. It's a cool period were we can have a taste of our old but still fonctionnal characters.
But this was before the change on Atlas, and how it impact std on the ground of Map Stash Tabs.
I know that you personnaly talked about this problem with the dev team, but if we should expect the same reactivity than their reactivity on the "Remove only" bug on Maps stash tabs, we could wait until the next Greek Calends.
But this is more or less a detail.

Personnaly, I mostly expect from GGG to do way more test of their league mechanics.
Bethrayal was one of my favourit league. But the integration to the core and it ballancing was a complet diaster on every single part of the league (progression of intelligence of safehouse, progression of unlocking veiled mods, Intervention lags, difficulty balance, etc.). And most of the problems are still not fixed yet.
Synthetis, even if it was a league full of interesting ideas, was also a complet failure in terme of realisation.
It's been a month, and I still question myself about what GGG had in mind by adding a league mecanics that the most basics events are based on multiple layer of RNG (layout, decay location and progression, stabilizator position, etc.). I also question myself on the reason to apply area mods on league mecanics boss (delve or sythesis). Those boss are already hidden under a ton of layer of RNG, and on top of this, they can be almost impossible because of the area mods that buff them.
And on the top of this, in Synthesis we had to adds some other problems like map drop rate that ruin a huge part of the league.
Steam charts gives a quick view of the consequence of all those problems on the ground of players retention. PoE lost ~half of his players in 2 weeks of league, and 75% of them after 1 month.

Personnaly, I don't realy care about 1 week delay or no delay between the end of a league and the start of a new one. You can even change the duration of each leagues and extend to a 4 month cycle if this means you do enought tests (even semi private beta tests).
But please GGG take your time to build properly and correctly your leagues. It's realy tiresome for players to see that we have to wait for 1 month before having a nearly ballanced league.

I like the few days to organize things on standard before the next league begins. Most people aren't playing the challenge league at that point anyhow.

Hi guys at GGG,

League should run right up to the start of the next, those few days of doing nothing is annoying.

Besides it give us a few extra days to complete challenges.

Personally I have never stopped playing a league a month into it, but with synthesis been such a bad league and the changes made to the core game engine taking away 32 bit/directX9 I have. Now only playing standard, but hate the map changes made as one has to sort of start all over again, to collect maps to complete the atlas.

Love the events! Please dooooooo it!

I do like the few days break in between new leagues. (4-5 days is great!)

Reasons:

1. Sort my stash after migration

2. Shopping for legacy items (on standard) with influx of currency

3. Random mappings on standard with min-maxed characters (which I really enjoy), occasional MF-ing and depleting my RNG on standard before league start cos Doc card dropped. LOL! Even more sorting due to new masters. (White socket vorici, maxing quality on equipment etc, double corrupting legacy items)

4. Short time off to really chill and spend time with family instead of waiting to turn on the PC every time I get off work

Hope these feedback help.

INCREASE THE RATE OF ENCOUNTERING CORTEX, been killing 3 nexus bosses every day and haven't seen 1, so how do i suppose to do the challs????? :|
