The best expansion you could give us would be to just fix the crappy performance issues and turn the loot table back up to Legion levels for non league mechanic gameplay. With those 2 things alone we might actually be able to enjoy playing the bloody game.
All expansions seem to mean these days is a new forced upon us meta that we have to play to make a league mechanic work, more bugs, more server creaking, and crappy drops.
How about simply letting us play the game "our way" and stop making the game so damn increasingly grindy.

I hope they never go back to Legion level loot explosions. Never! Too much is too much.

i agree. when everything shits out exalts like candy, it becomes boring quickly. legion only lasted about a week of dedicated playing for me because of that even though, for leagues i like, i go for 40/40 challenges. not with legion.

Ok, point taken, but maybe some sort of middle ground?

I'm a consistent player. I play roughly about the same number of hours per week every league. Since Harbinger the average Ex drops I got whilst playing was about 2-3 per league at most, sometimes only 1. This effectively gates pretty much any custom crafting as 2ex alone is required for the "additional mods". This meant that I couldn't realistically make my own weapons, items etc apart from random chaos rolling or using the god awful non-existent trading debacle.

Legion I had 8 ex drop "in the wild". Whilst this might be slight overkill I agree, what it did mean for me (as an experienced player) was that I was able to actually enjoy doing my own crafting for once. That, in turn, meant I focused on unlocking the crafts I needed which then meant more reason to play more often.

Considering that a minimum of 2ex is needed to even start making your own items with multiple crafted modifiers then this league being back to 1ex all league so far dropping is not enough for me to experience the most fundamental part of the game!

Instead of focusing on forcing Metas every damn league and nerfing.raising skills how about balancing the drops so that playing the game is meaningful?
Maybe a mid point between Legion and the usual dire drop rates? Balance drops before constantly farting about with balancing everything else.

I would just want a league that is not actual CANCER fps wise, doesnt crash and does not carry issues from previous leagues, optimize ur game. I literally dont give an F about the content at this point

+1, I would really want that too.

As new player just started playing this league I hope they put emphasis on guild related activities/quest rewards. In my observation the game becomes grinding and boring at times and the way to offset this in my opinion is to have other aspect of the game besides grinding. Anyways it's a waste to have a guild system/feature with no game mechanics specifically featured for it. Or probably I'm just looking for a feature on a wrong game? =) It should be the later I guess, but I wish GGG will consider this. KByeThanks!

And oh! The Singapore Server sucks, currently the lag spikes is horrendous.

so basically you're dumping more "space" on the next patch.. incoming 10+ gb for 3.9 then?

about the "less server melting" I will have to see it for myself, sorry that I don't trust on words anymore.

Make the new skills not bow only please. Give them the ranged tag so you can use them with wands too.

He hasnt seen the problems even though he has a character named high dps low fps, then on top of that all his characters are in standard, yikes. no wonder hes never seen any issues.

And how "experienced" are you? I mean 10 challenges completed and you can get like 10 before killing act 10 kitava. Plus you have only 1 level 89 character and you have NEVER completed all red tier maps to get achievement.

You sound like a bad troll who is here just to trigger people and bash the game that you don't like very much. Maybe try something else?

I believe the discussion was here about performance. You don't need to have even 10 challenges to realize that there are stability and performance issues. Taking into consideration that GGG have released a post themselves where they acknowledge there are problems with the game, I'm not even sure you understood what the conversation was about and what you responded is completely irrelevant.

You called OP a troll but in fact I'd say it's actually the other way around. Maybe YOU should try something else instead.

We have been really excited about a league idea that we wanted to do for a while but didn't have the technology or resources to pull off.

This might be the single most worrying announcement I have read for the game yet.

[I]t contains a good balance of risk vs reward, compelling endgame content and is a whole lot less server-melty.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm actually very very concerned regarding their "we wanted to do for a while but didn't have the technology or resources to pull off". OK, I guess I'm happy that they expand and get better technology but what I gather from this is: In addition that this expansion is gonna be LARGE, it will also be their first attempt to "pull off" something new, which doesn't sound safe at all...

(Blight was/is experimenting with something new and GGG admitted that it was their conscious decisions that brought problems, now they gonna experiment with even bigger scope, LOL)

Knowing how the leagues come out in beta state and are being fixed for a month+, the LARGE expansion with their new technology stuff and a new league on top of it VERY POSSIBLY might come out broken beyond belief.

I mean come on, they can't fix the memory issues for the 4th week or so, so being concerned regarding their expansion is nothing unusual.


"compelling endgame content and is a whole lot less server-melty"

Yes, I'm here with you OP. I don't believe them anymore too. We just have to wait and see how it will end up...

high risk high reward - meaning most builds are gonna get randomly 1 shot and you will get an extra chaos orb....

Buff bows! Fine ny me.

BUT LEAVE MY MINIONS ALONE!!!!!!!
