Event choice is very strange to say the least

you'd think that we would get the mechanic from a popular league like affliction or sentinel but no we get it from one of the worst received leagues...people only ran that mechanic because there was no way to turn it off...and now its back? out of all the different things we could've of gotten this is what we get?

why not wildwood and sentinel and rotate them every hour? or endless delve or anything from the old events? you could redo the exact same event from last time and it would still be better than this. this is such a weird choice for an event.
i know its probably not getting changed but since there is still time,this is a suggestion to add something else. i dont even care what, anything would be better at this point

edit- and everyone getting the same mods is a bad idea also...where is the fun in that? people will just sit in discord and wait for someone to ring the bell "divine mod is on"

It's because players will agree to it anyway, they don't have to put any effort or coding into it, they just throw back the latest and simplest thing they had, read all the posts and comments that are popping up again.
People say that you shouldn't complain and that the even idea is great.
But nobody cares about the fact that you will have to upgrade the whole kalguur city again from scratch, and all you get from maps is 2% chance for chaos orbs.
And if you're sleeping while everyone got the divine orb drop, well too bad you grinded 10 hours while timmy made all that money in an hour :)

remember that was a forced mechanic, people couldn't turn it off so they were forced to run it. and it wasnt even rewarding Enough to warrant all the extra hard mods it added.so thetas why i think its such a weird choice to bring it back. why not bring back a mechanic people actually liked?

Yes, it's on every map. Unlike Necro league, there is no downside. I don't know why you keep mentioning that players "are forced" to run a mechanic that is just bonus currency and pack size for this event.

You didn't like Necropolis. That's fine. But let me enlighten you on what Affliction League was to people who didn't like the wildwood: IT WAS STANDARD. Literally Standard. If you didn't jump in the hole, you were just playing Standard. Big Yikes. Almost like players were 'forced' to jump in the hole and take on added difficulty to every map otherwise there was no league content to 'play'.

Sentinel was the more interesting way to give players big loots drops and I would welcome it back....

In fact, I'd love to see an event (or even a league) which brought back all the leagues that didn't get added to the core game. Having another crack at Synthesis, Sentinel, Necropolis, Ancestor, Archnemesis, and Crucible (kind of makes Scourge moot) would be cool if for no other reason than to offer players something they can't get normally play again.

Disclaimer: Lake of Kalandra was terrible and the reflecting mists that have since been added completely negate any reason to revisit that league

umm affliction was just a suggestion...it could be anything else really. it would still be better than the mechanic that adds things like 4% extra chance for a chance orb to drop...

the point is they put zero effort into this and just added whatever we had last which was from necropolis, a really badly received league

hardly strange, it was recent and would integrate well with few problems and minimal work, they are not going to waste time shoehorning in something that needs a lot of dev time just to make sure it works with the current iteration of the game, which is key to the decision because all devs will be on PoE2.

I mean, they also said they're getting rid of the negative effects.

Something they should've done when the league was actually happening. :v
