WTB 6-8 month challenge leagues. For people with limited time, after dying once or twice at higher levels there is pretty much no point in starting over since by the time you get back to where you were the league will be ending shortly so it pretty much turns into 'welp time to waste time on other games for 2.5 months until new league'. 4 months is too short imo.

+1. Finally someone said what I've always thought.

4 months is too short. Everyone loves the challenge league that they are currently in and I've never met a single person who was eager to move back to the cesspool of standard/HC league so soon (no offense). It seems like the first month of two of a challenge league go by, then people are already getting butthurt and start yelling about "league end coming!". Simple solution is make em a bit longer

thanks for everything GGG, i love you

Why do you punish us standard-players ?

Standard players are not being punished. It's a free choice to play Standard and be satisfied with the fact that some of the changes will come into the game with 4-5 months delay.

Invasion / Ambush players are basically active testers of the new game content before it reaches standard leagues (both HC/SC). Starting over and over, trying new characters, it's something that ARPG's are build on - the replayability (even if it's not a real word).

For high level mapping it was declared by GGG earlier, that they do not intent the top level maps to be played over and over again, but they are supposed to be rewarding. Map price depends on the playerbase and how they will value the maps. Map strongboxes disrupted this intended "balance" so the core game will receive modified mechanic.

If your goal is to reach lvl 100 , yes, the decreased level sux with the xp penalty.

Not sure if you play solo or full party. It's harder for full party to run out of maps. And also, they are able to buy maps more easily, since they are able to split the cost (or run more effectively the lower ones as they can benefit from synergies.

Thanks GGG for nothing. i already know that you dont realy care, but :

I dont care about any of the 4month, 1 month ... leagues, because i dont like to start over and over and over again. im also not a 24/7 player because i have to work, have a family and all such things called Real Life.

Since the Strongboxes have been implemented i was looking forward to the league end to see them implemented in standard (esp cartographer) because the map drop system completely Sucks. I dont have the currency to buy those overpriced High level maps to even think about reaching level 100 one day.
And now that the time arrived to see them implemented they will either be taken out of the game or nerfed to death.
Why do you punish us standard-players ?
Why should i even continue to play poE (and spending even more money for microtransactions and crap) if we are treated like crap.
I for myself am close to deleting PoE because of the maps issue. im just plain tired of doing 73 to 75 maps over and over again, because higher maps rarely drop and those are the only affordable maps without beeing forced to go to a Real Money Trader.

i dont think it will happen but i realy hope to get an answer from GGG.

+1 to this. Had been looking forward to the cartographer's boxes getting into standard and thought that would happen this weekend. Another 6 weeks and then likely nerfed...why? It's the most annoying thing in the game to constantly buy chisels, throw large amounts of currency at high level maps and then still run out.

You guys are not supposed to get to 100 so easily. The pint for that being act 10 will be surely around lvl 80+ or so and the maps go up to 90+.
