Hive Fortress Needs to Go

Like this thing is ridiculous. It's almost about the size of the map, then after you're done exploring the fortress you need to do 24 waves: that's basically comparable to a simulacrum right there inside of a map.

The normal hive is ok because it's still reasonably fast, unstable breach is much better, even colony was fine, but the fortress does not belong: it overlaps with blight. Heck, it's even more time consuming than an actual blight map.

Harvest was gutted for the reason that it was taking too long, this is about 5 times longer because of how big and long the area is.

So don't do it?

I don't get this complaint, literally nobody is forcing you to run content you don't like. You even have MULTIPLE options for making sure these fortresses cannot possibly appear in your maps.

Also that's not at all why Harvest was gutted, lmao

People are hating on breach so much lol, but if you look up at poe ninja, it turns out to be that it is currently the most farmed league mechanic BY FAR.

There is nothing wrong with the Hive Fortress, and personally, I like doing it.

If you don't like it, simply don't do it. In fact, use your Atlas Passives to ensure all Breaches you encounter are Unstable Only. Play. Have fun.

LOL. That is what OP is talking about. People are farming unstable(old like) breach. Only a few a running hive.

The breach waves are perfectly fine.

The area around feels a bit too large though, wish they trimmed it down a little. A lot of running.

And Abyss was the most farmed mechanic in affliction, so?
Breach needs a nerf and other league mechanics need a buff, that's how it is. Not everybody likes this purple mess. People just play it because it's one of the few most profitable ways to play the game.
There is litterally no reason why the tree is so good but Gwennen is basicly dead. There was zero reason to nerf Tujen, lol. Expedition of all things was never a top end strategy other than in ssf or in Expedition league when it was fresh. There was litterally no reason to nerf Kingsmarch after forcing players to invest atlas points now. Which i totally agree with but why nerf it on top of that. Good thing i didn't bother to send shipments this league.
Breach just looks good because other mechanics look bad.

Fortress is the biggest way to pretty much gifts and blood because unstable breaches aren't giving much blood.

Just reducing the area would make it a lot better.

I'll see, I thought the other mechanics within breach were fine, just not fortress.

Fortress should just get rid of the start and escape mech and just put you in the center. It was cute the first couple times but it gets old. Otherwise the fortress itself is fine.
