Synthesis Flashback Event

i got 3 or 4 times lvl 95 on flashbacks, and got every time 1 free box. nothing else.

This league sounds amazing (except for the fact it'll have crappy synthesis in it).

Gotta say after playing this game for about 8000 hours, dropping all the spare cash i could afford, and grinding this league with next to no gains the prospect of starting over to ONLY MAYBE get something of any value feels like I'm just being baited to increase the metrics that'll get posted at the end to make this league look better.

I know a lot of people especially new players are going to join this Flashback with really high hopes only to get nothing out of it, It is absolutely soul crushing to spend that much time for nothing.

My first post here on the forums after so many years was supposed to be a positive and hopeful one, but damn this just grinds my gears.

Starting over is fun, that's the reward.

so you say: it's basically a private league for all with no evil mods...

I appreciate the rewards of starting over in a fresh economy, I even really love the new mods and what they enable for all sorts of builds, but I do not know a single person who has much of anything good to say about this league, having a flashback of a league that we already spent a month+ playing on kind of makes me wonder whats the point of calling it a flashback? it never left how can it come "back"

I also really synergize with the inspiration behind this league coming from a developers early gaming years, that passion is important and i don't mean to tarnish it by the things I'm saying.

most of the rewards from this are going to go to the 1% and they are not the ones suffering this league, they are thriving doing carry's and master crafting taking hundreds if not thousands of ex back to standard with them.

If we were guaranteed at least one drop out of the pool after hitting a threshold even if that threshold is hard to achieve would go a lot farther to reinvigorating the player base and encouraging them to play than tossing a coin in a slot machine and hoping for a cosmetic that the majority of users are never going to see.

I love this game, I always will, but its becoming increasingly difficult to recommend this game to others, and the ground on which i used to stand defending and praising this game feels like its slowly eroding away.

Those MTX you *can* win are so ugly that anyone who bought at least one 60$ supporter pack will never use them.

Good luck to those who play it

I haven't been as hyped since the time I played this absolute masterpiece of a game on Steam "Watch paint dry".

2 x additional Strongboxes

TWO ADDITIONAL STRONGBOXES! TWO! NOT ONE! BUT TWO! CAN YOU IMAGINE! TWO STRONGBOXES! That's like more than ONE! Hold me, I think I'm gonna faint.

3 x Tormented Spirits

I'm sorry I just can't continue expressing my excitement of this incredible, well thought, perfectly planned Flashback event. I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Almost as much as a 24 hours marathon on the fish channel watching fish swimming for 24 hours.

This. Priceless.

@bex_ggg I suppose you cannot get league specific items when the area has mods active like Nemesis or Bloodlines?
