Will Scourge Become a Core Path of Exile Mechanic?

If Scourge doesn't go core then Un-nerf Doryani's prototype... It got nerfed because its interaction with scourge mods... I hate when these oversights happen. And they happen all the time.

Ok GGG you removed my comment for saying the truth, let me rephrase it in a nicer way, Scourge league mechanics were not fun to interact with & on top of that it was not a rewarding mechanic, certainly not during leveling in acts, and not enough in maps, rather Scourge felt like a waste of time; the only positive thing we got from it was the easy 6-links.

the weirdest comment... I think you lack understanding how PoE works, scourge is the most rewarding league mechanic since harvest:

* the league mechanic during maps without scourge maps and krangled items is completely busted due +300% quantity and it is even better than delirium + beyond without scourge, but is insane with delirium + beyond together (easy HeadHunter in Tower maps)
* trying krangling certain uniques that cost 5c uncorrupted but with certain not very hard to get scourge mods like "-#% to lightning resistance" and "+ #% chaos resistance" for certain builds make the item worth 20+ ex
* scourged maps are just a raw currency printer (easy mirror in 1 week)

and the fact that you can do all 3 at the same time... is plain broken, the fact that you completely missed it, is just sad, but you still have a couple of weeks to get free mageblood if you hurry

Yesh, the scourge make me headage cuz after i walk forward in the scourge zone, it will roll back my character to the start position. -*-

And the scourge monsters are so quick, i was death many time after i push "V".

I think GGG will create the NPC to make 6L easier in the next league and so on.

Thank you.

Will existing scourged maps get deleted or will they stay?

"The short answer is no. We don't have any current plans to bring Scourge back."
I was hoping scourge would replace beyond or something, really sad, I liked it, finally a fun and true risk/reward mechanic and it is not going core :( but super boring expedition went core :(

What I take from this is...we'll get another busted league ala 3.17...can't wait to see what they mess up.

I think I'd like leaguestones better than Scourge.

No, wait.

I know I would like Leaguestones better than Scourge. Player agency for the something-approximating-win.

Scourge had just way too much out-of-reach stuff for me to be happy with it. Other people enjoyed it a lot more, and bully for them. Actually, I'm sorry for them, since Scourge isn't going core, but I hope you know what I mean.

As far as I'm concerned, making it a chapter of history rather than a core mechanic was a good call. Others will disagree, which should come as no surprise. Every mechanic has its proponents and its detractors, and Scourge is no different.

How boring and small. You want the atlas? Fine keep it … but scourge? Scourge I will burn to the ground !

No, no , no !! Why ?! What about spectre Pale Saraphim and Demon Harply ? You kill them too forever when league end ??

it needed a great rework, but you better offer alternative methods to get its rewards
an easy way would be to add a boss to the immortal syndicate that can provide their drops and crafts, really, I think the syndicate should be taken better advantage of. its a good system
