Yo i work a lot. And iam not even going to think about it. Stupid design. Also stuck on maps as always. Atlas progression still clunky af.

I agree with that. The fact that we have to do normal completion, awakening completion, maven's witnessing and pitfights made me almost puke. Please GGG lower it atleast a bit. Oh and how could I forget about conquerors!


I would really like to see a QoL like master missions would grant sometimes awakening completion of random map on the atlas. To speed up this slog.

i hope one day i will find it! lol

i must agree with that, honestly is way too much to handle, but i think they gonna say, no one force you to play league! true that, but if are basing a game only on 3 months league "as you said" and balanced the game "only on 8 streamer" i think you are aiming in the wrong direction GGG, you change a lot, thats for sure! and then triple nerf on harvest, nerf on many other things, and streamer priority??? no, no, no, not for me sry!

Hope PoE2 gonna be a nice game, hopefully, till then have a nice day!

All you people are so negative all the time.

This post is about the story and the character, not encounters, so stay on topic and praise the creator. I love my successes and my defeats and the dialogue and the voice actor. Very well executed. Thank you for this league and this awesome new character.

To all of you CONSTANTLY complaining about everything: put away your outrage for a second and look at yourselves. You're whining. Like children. Stop. Anytime GGG has listened to the community requests, they have made great mechanics boring. I will never forgive you whiners for Delirium nerfs.

Just because you're loudest does not mean you speak for everyone. You're just in an echo chamber.


**Just to clarify, I do not stream or make videos. I don't map 18 hours a day. When I map, I open every chest and kick every rock and pick up every armourer's scrap so I don't even zoom when I do map. I can't kill The Maven by myself. Yet somehow I have found and defeated the Trialmaster and I definitely don't find that the ultimatums too difficult at high level maps.

that should be a new copypasta, very very good indeed

Found him twice this league, also the league mechanic has literally no end game nor awarding. Most of my friendlist already quit. But hey GGG, you guys already accomplished your goal of early MTX sales and ditch.

You're going to encounter the league NPC in every. single. area. How do I, the Narrative Designer, help make that experience fun rather than repetitive?

As a long time player I've been wondering for a couple years now, if the league mechanic really needs to be introduced in every zone (during the league)?

Leagues aren't as valuable to new players as recurring ones, and imo it can be counterproductive to throw so many mechanics at a fresh player at a time. It might be time to implement leagues at the established 8% rate from the outset (which would simplify the balancing process, as the tempo of the mechanic wouldn't need to be designed around two ends of a spectrum) with a directed introduction for the first encounter.

It would be ideal from my (limited) perspective as a lore apprecianado for League mechanics to be tied more strongly to narratively consistent zones, with a set rate in maps (and potentially an elevated rate in lore related areas). I won't make suggestions for where particular Leagues would end up, but an Abyss in a Belly of the Beast tileset weirds me out a bit.

Secondly, I'm very excited to see what happens in the story to bridge campaign 1 and campaign 2.
