Feedback: This league sucks. I dare say i had more fun in Lake of Kalandra than this.

Anyone that played LoK knows how low bar that was. And i still found it more interesting than this. Heck, for first 2-3 weeks of LoK league had ruthless-amounts of loot because ggg over-ninja-nerfed it.

I hope this garbage new breach will not become core for whatever spawns in maps. A special breach map with hive fortress? Sure. In map? just f no.

But it's not the intrusive, unrewarding, tedious and overall annoying breach that's the issue, though breach walls are.. just beyond idiotic. Someone says its because "lore".. Well, duh, make the lore not impede the gameplay then.


But GGG constantly pushing monster drop out of the basic maps right into T17 or at very damn least 8mod t16. Everyone noticed this league currency drops are about as dry as sahara.

It's a damn shame GGG is willing to make this league go as one of the worst, rather than just make some life-saving buffs.

Cynical part of me thinks it's just a strategy to make PoE2 look better.

I mean this league was a failure on its own but Kalandra was worst. Because of goblins and goblin slayers with their rarity and quant stacks to get more profit. Also those rares were uber bosses. At least we had some good laughs at hardcore deaths while trying to cull those uber bosses for the loot.

But yes this league was not good and its not even because of the league mechanic itself.

I agree. Kalandra was the worst league so far for me. I stopped playing it at white maps.

That said, this league is not far behind but only because of async trade or currency exchange. If these two didn't exist. I'd most likely stopped playing at white maps as well.

Another issue with Kalandra was that many players were expecting something epic, after all, Mirror of Kalandra is the rarest currency in the game.

Hinekora Lock had much MUCH better league.


In that regards, my thoughts are very similar about this league, I expected an expansion to Breach not replacement.

As for loot? Well, sirgog argues that async trade is to be blamed, I would argue that he doesn't have clue what he is talking about, cherry picking stuff.

1. Tree crafting devalued many items.
2. Because mapping sucks, players switched to different farms, devaluing heist items and so
3. Many uniques sucks and are not in demand
4. Meta changed as well
5. Lack of item sinks (Mercs + Animate Guardians were great item sinks).
6. Levelling another characters is a pain with with twinks.

We need:

+more CURRENCY loot in maps (not items)
+aspirational content
+interesting way to juice different mechanics (not just more harbringers)
+buff uniques and make them far rarer


PS. I would forgot - another thing that SUCKED this league were challenge rewards.
