I imagine it would make a really awesome race modifier though. If I had to guess the future uses of Rampage this would be my best bet.

A benefit of the Rampage feature, though, I think, will be m giving us a bit of an edge when being literally MOBBED by mobs -- either by rushing in, or just finding ourselves unlucky. With stun especially on lower level characters or crap-geared characters, I have died from being hit too many times sequentially by a group of monsters (not even scary ones) who collectively hit harder and faster than i do.

Mixed feelings here about Rampage guys.


I love the sound of it, Im excited, the hype is there, but do I see it as a permanent feature of PoE just going on the small info we have? Not rly man. I do however want to play it, for sure, Im gonna love playing this.

Spoiler

I made a post a while back, I dunno if you guys at GGG ever read it, about player stress and adding "fun" weekend/1week/2week race leagues towards the end of the main ladders to spice things up. The idea is that these things would contain mechanics that majorly change the game play in ways that we wouldnt want in the main version of the game but would be super exciting to play as an occasional thing, rather than a 1 week repetition of the same old thing we love but need a break from now and then.

This definitely sounds like one of those things, super fun, exciting, doing something really different built on top of the game we love but essentially more of a shorter lived gimmick (and I say that for want of a better term as it can be taken as a negative which I dont intend).


Maybe, as some people have said already, this is more the vision for Rampage. A league, we have our fun, then long term its a map mod, race mod, short fun league mod that can be pulled out of the hat here and there to give us a break from the very serious game we play full time.

Spoiler

We dunno the full info yet, all the details, no idea how it will play out so I guess we will wait and see and Im looking forward to playing it. Could well be that in practice its a lot more balanced and somewhat subtle than it sounds from this short description.

Also RIP to all the valuable item drops that are rushed over because "Gotta get to the next pack bro !"

I will say that this is the first announcement which makes me worried. This Rampage league sounds incredibly bad. Kill streaks will make for a more stressful gameplay and not for fun, unlike Ambush. I mean, I wouldn't mind them if there was anything else that adds some fun.

Sure, there'll be masters and all the new stuff, still this is sounding incredibly weak and this will be live for 4 months. Hopefully the hardcore counterpart will be more exciting.
