Rampage and Beyond Challenges and their Prizes

Well, in previous leagues there were no rewards for 5/8, and the 8/8 prize was a t-shirt. So now we get some MTX rewards that everyone has a fair chance of getting (the 5/8 one), unlike the first 50 Atziri kills in the last league, and people complain that they don't like the art. It does seem a little ungrateful, though it's probably not a popular thing to say.

Would I wear those crowns? No. My characters prefer a more rugged look. But I still think it's nice that there are some exclusive rewards to obtain that can't be gotten otherwise. I don't think they are ugly, either.

Well i don't think anyone would disagree with you about the way the challenges are run now. It is a way better system than it was before, and yes, we should be grateful that they take the time to improve every aspect of the game. It's a great thing, but we just simply can't deny that the time needed to get those mtx' from the challenges are not worth it. Even the gap between completing 5 and 8 challenges are not worth it at all. I am colourblind and i almost can't even tell the difference :P

That being said, they are probably trying to balance how pretty the mtx' from challenges are. If they make them too ugly, people won't be motivated to get them, but if they make them too pretty, their mtx sales would probably go down.

*sigh*

Another set of challenges that I wont be able to complete....

Still have yet to see Binos Knife, never been able to defeat Atziri, getting to level 65 with all characters in 3 months - nope, reaching lvl 8 with all masters - unlikely....

the prizes for challenges seem to be a nice addition to the game.

Maybe we could extend the idea of getting rewards from challenges to something like: from a very hard challenge you get a startup gem-selection of 0% quality gems to new league. Or if would go even further: give permanent 1% quality "potential" to some gem from achievement; different achi's would ofc increase different gems. Just a thought^^

Great job!

Sorry, but these challenges are just not for you.

If you can't even get 7 level 65s, you are putting nowhere near enough time into this game.

Great idea to make a microtransaction for challenges!

For the next challenge set, can we get a microtransaction for completing at least 1 challenge for casuals like myself? ;)

Now if only they'd let me turn my alternate art race rewards into MTX skins I can use across leagues, I'd be all set.

It's great idea! All my nice alternate art items in default leagues, but i'm playing only in challenge leagues and sadly not be able to use them. (

Ahh man. I miss POE. This new league isn't making it any easier on me.

OK but these challenges are honestly trivial compared to the ones from the past. No Kaom's required, no Shavs required, no uber Atziri axe required, no multiple lvl90s required, not even an eternal orb is required to complete the currency challenge.

Sweet change all in all. There should be many 8/8 and even more people motivated to do 5/8 if they can afford the time investment. I wouldn't wear that mtx ever but I do plan to collect the lower tier :p

There is 2 challenge wich are pretty bad imo : use this currency, we have this one every time ..., and get all unique wich is really boring just trade . I have ton of tab but someone wich have few tab can't even do this challenge

I think their obvious goal with these challenges is always to get players to experience ALL aspects of the game. In that sense at least, I think the challenges are well-designed, though a bit more variety in them would be nice. But looking at it from that perspective, here's what the challenges do:

Full-clear: Most people will spend a lot of their time grinding in the same 3-4 zones and just skip past everything else on their way to maps. And not necessarily because those other zones are bad or even that they personally hate them. It's just that the other areas are the most efficient way to level. This one makes people explore ALL of the areas in the normal game.

Reach level 65: Makes you try all of the different classes, including ones you might not normally play much and gives you an excuse to try out a few different builds instead of just grinding on one character for the whole 3 months.

Rampage tiers AND monsters from beyond: Obviously gets you to try out the main features of the two new leagues and for that matter to try both leagues at all instead of ONLY playing SC or ONLY HC like most people would otherwise do.

Level 8 with masters: Again, gets you to try out the new content of the expansion. Probably most people would be doing this one anyway.

Use currency items: This one covers the crafting part of the game. Probably more of an intro to it for new players, not as interesting for people who've done it in all the previous leagues as well. The items from vendor recipe challenge they usually have is similar to this one.

Unique bosses: Covers a pretty wide range of the end-game content including maps

Own these unique items: And finally, yes trading. Like it or not, it is meant to be part of the game. At least this time, they got rid of most of the ultra-rare and expensive ones on the list, though there's still a few on there that aren't exactly cheap.

And before anyone complains about them FORCING you to do all this stuff...keep in mind these are all OPTIONAL challenges with no real in-game benefits. If you don't like one of them, no one's gonna force you to do it but yourself.

Yet another thread where people bitch and moan left and right.The sense of entitlement is huge around here.Don't like the rewards, easy, don't do the challenges.

Anyway I'll be trying for the 5 challenge reward seems to fit decently with the elite armour mtx.And I'm glad they didn't make the mtx over the top flashy.Want flashy? support GGG and buy points.This gives people that are really poor a chance to have a free mtx.
