Gold + Automap should go core.

Hello.

This is just a post about the auto-map feature and does not include other elements of the league.

Never since Delve have I felt a mechanic this addictive.
I just want "To do another map" to get me more gold so I can use automapper.
This adds bonus to the game. You do your other content and gold is bonus. For your hard work you get automapper. It's..gold!

It's almost a "Gotcha" programming systemwhere you can expect the unexpected but GGG make it free.

This entire league is a strike of genius.

I agree and disagree.

The entire thing reeks of exploiting fomo. I am enjoying it but feeling like I should boot up POE before I head to work to send out my ships just feels kind of odd.

The entire concept of being rewarded for logging in more frequently is such a slippery slope.

Fun for a league but I really hope they don't go core. I hope to be able to go a day without logging in in the future without getting the feeling I missed out on setting up my in game bot.

This is so backwards in logic, at least to me.

The option to set up mappers, and get a ship going before work is great for an average player. It helps close the gap from those that are logging crazy hours while the rest of us have lives to attend to.

Plus what are your low white and yellow maps doing anyways besides just sitting there? Building up the town, and allowing casual players some passive progression is a great addition to an otherwise elite focused game.

I hope that pretty much every new system in this league goes core, from the AH, to the "whole ass town".

You've got the backwards backwards.

The league mechanic feels exactly like I expected it to, and that is way to much like WoW daily quest. I shouldnt feel like I am missing out if I dont touch the game every day, every 12 hrs, whatever. Log in, blast, get good loot. That is the core of POE in a nutshell, please keep it that way GGG.

I agree.
The mechanic is kinda cool, but yeah, you'll have to keep an eye on your gold so it doesn't run out when you're away.
A bit like the old Master missions. Not doing them would hurt you so you had to play at least once a day. With this league, it's better to play in the morning and then after work. Not ideal.

What are you missing out on? It's not timed by day? You play when you play. There is nothing lost. Nothing has changed, but an added passive system that can be used whether you are logged in or not.

There is no fomo here at all, because, again, nothing is missed out on. There is no "daily reward". It's quite confusing to understand actually where you are coming from. It's all supplemental based on your existing play.

Hard Agree.

@Piousqd So on days you don't play at all....do you feel like you missed out on finding that mirror that would *most certainly* drop?

By your logic you should feel bad ALL THE TIME you don't play. Every second you don't play you are missing drops. At least this way you can set stuff up before you go.

You got the backwards backwards backwards back...wait.

Would you like to know all the time things you're missing out on while playing this game. All the books you aren't reading or the bikes you aren't riding. Choosing to do 1 thing is choosing not to do something else. Everyone's life is about missing out on something for something else. The league is fine.
