This league turned out to be kinda bad for some players?

Ive been playing all league long and my experience with kingsmarch just seems hopeless. Ive been farming gold for my treasury since day 1 of the league and I have only made like 20ish divines total in the form of a couple power runes and a couple valdos from mappers.

All I did this league was farm harvest to complete my builds and even though I have funneled millions of gold in to kingsmarch I didnt really get anything from it.....

it already sounds like you got more than me...i only had 1 power rune and nothing good from mappers

Mappers are a scam imo, the meta seems to be to just let your rank 10 farmers get crops for 3-4 days while farming dust from all the uniques you get from mapping, then send a 50 mil crop shipment on one of the nearby 30-minute points you can send to, and have 2 or 3 of the shipment quotas be crops so you get bonus value. I've gotten 4 mirror shards overall from my 2 big shipments so far.

Mapper are great for this:

I could care less if Kingsmarch rewards were better, even 1000 or 10000% better. The afk design of how you get those rewards is ridiculous.

Farm to set a timer, to set another timer, to set another timer, to get rewards.

They could have at the very least had more interesting uses for crops/dust/ore/bars than just.....send it away on a shipment.


Like.....if the end result is to get runes since they are the only usable new kingsmarch item, we essentially have 12+ completely useless "currencies" in Kingsmarch. It's just a fundamentally awful idea.


Kingsmarch could have ACTUALLY been cool if it was like a fusion of Heist and Expedition. Where every currency had an actual tangible use individually, workers weren't just luck-based clocks but actual potentially customizable npcs, and then maybe more random boss fights in maps that you could "juice" with crops or ores. Have the shipping be more of an aside to befit its afk timer nature rather then being the central feature that sucks up ALL of the currency.

Or even something as simple as: using 1000 grain in the map device adds an additional bismuth ore to the map. Using 100 bismuth bars in the map device lets monsters drop random amounts of grain. Using x dust grants x% chance to encounter boss

Hell.....even the enchants are boring. Why couldn't they have done something similar to Crucible? Completely new effects getting added to weapons that have an effect on a range of skills, not just simple dps in 99% of the cases.

The mobile game-like mechanics turned me off from the league so fast. I really hope the next one isn't like this. I'll quit playing altogether if that happens.

Only if you actually don't really make proper use of the league mechanic and just partially engage with it.
Mid game shipping alone gives you already a sturdy supply of consistent raw divine loads and endgame just throws tons of shit at you.
Mappers are just the extra bonus if you care to run those as they also bring in decent rewards over time but shipping alone gives good profit.

Weird I guess passively getting loot while you do other things is just bad for some folks.

Also weird how its the same like 3-4 people as well.

Define "proper use of the league mechanic" in ARPG basically gambling game space, please.

Use Google for the definition "proper use" and I'm sure you can figure the rest out on your own as you've already used half of the answer in the quote.
Add a little bit of common sense to it and you're all good especially as a lot of the "gambling" can be played in your favor at almost all times for consistent outcomes especially in the current league mechanic.
