Announcing Path of Exile: Blight

If I wanted to play Tower Defence I would play Tower Defence...

Tower defence in an ARPG just seems weird, but I am hopeful GGG can pull it off. I quit Synthesis after a week or so because it just didn't flow like the rest of the game, so I'm hoping Blight doesn't feel like too big of an interruption each time it comes up.

Sign me up on the hype train just because I'm such a fanboi for tower defense. :D

This looks too complicated. I'm bad at tower defense games since I never have enough time to make decisions, and here I have to pick w/e the f... I press first. Not to mention I'm not fond of tower defense games.

I forsee this will be a bad league or in need of revamp just like synthesis. You say you want to stop the speed players go through content yet you make this artificial by implementing time gated mechanics and also require players to have big DPS. I'm poor at making those and I don't copy/pasta other peoples' builds.

The amulet enchant looks nice but at the same time I have a feeling you'll no longer have a passive tree. in all honesty the way the development is going that would be for the better as it would be easier to balance and give you more time for actual content development.

Optimisation, the game needs it. Allow us to see less effects, I play alone and I have problem seeing shit, can only imagine how group play feels like.

Make bosses hard mechanically not 1 shot, don't apply map mods or otherwise to mobs/bosses if they are hard enough on their own.


Suggestion: GGG for upcoming leagues come up with ideas for them as you do now (or ask community), however give your best 3 internally selected ideas to the community to vote on what they want to play in the upcoming league.

I will play Necromancer just because of Carrion Golem - IT LOOKS SUPER AWESOME! :D

Not really that excited about the league itself it's seems like it's going to be like Synthesis, where a super minority will like it but the majority will hate it, it looks super clusterfk and tedious imagine doing that over and over and you add to that how buggy and broken the league will be the first month it's not looking good, but you never know maybe it will work either ways I’m way more hyped about the core changes specially the master rework it's absolutely huge didn’t think they will listen but they actually did and delivered way more than I ‘expected, the extra skill barre, the synth bosses AKA (Bottled Faith is back) and the rest are good addition too.

This is a joke right ?

What's next ? Path of Exile DotA ?

Looks too exhausting (& RSI inducing) & restrictive to be fun in massive repetitions.

Power creep cranking to unwieldy levels.

I was planning on skipping this league... and probably still will. For a moment i thought it meant keystones instead of notables lol. still massive jumps in power.

Well that was a disappointment.

I presume none of the devs have actually played PoE on PS4 because this will not work. Basically it means we will lose a keybind because trying to pickup an item or open a chest in the middle of a pack of mobs whilst you have a skill bound to that key just activates that skill.

The non league updates are 10/10 though. 3.8 should have just been stability updates and QoL updates but instead we get tower defence...... 3.9 when?
