Hard Lessons from Settlers Necro - Scarab rework
|
Tbh I have mixed feelings about this. I'm pretty sure I made more than 200 divines from selling scarabs alone this league. 3 small shipments every ~30 minutes plus all the scarabs you get from your maps worked more than fine for me. Sure if your goal is to earn multiple mirrors maybe scarabs aren't the way to go now but for us mere mortals scarabs are in a pretty good spot I guess. Without the shipments of course it would be another story.

I still stand by my opinion that I'm glad for the scarab rework and sextant removal. I'd rather buy tens of scarabs I can then jam into the map device than constantly reroll sextants for desired mods that are only good for 3-4 maps before having to do it all over again.
"Just buy compasses 5head" And risk gambling on not making enough back from the investment? No thanks. At least I know what I'm buying with scarabs. " I tested several atlas strategies for currency making this league. After running 20 Ultimatums, I can safely say the scarabs aren't worth it in T16 either, especially not the inscription scarab. Even though I was able to run them, I ended up losing currency trying. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds. Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. Last edited by Pizzarugi#6258 on Nov 19, 2024, 6:29:58 PM

I don't like the scarab rework. As someone who never used sextants it was 100% a nerf.
Scrabs use up so much space, the ones I want to use are always prohibitively expensive (it costs more to use 1 then I could get in a map) The drop pool is littered with heaps of these things that just aren't impactful. Sextants were largely optional, but the base drops without scarabs is absurdly bad. Like spend a session without using them and see how bad mapping feels. It just isn't as rewarding to alc and go as it was before the change. |
