Prophecy as a Core Game Mechanic
" And the point of all your text is?? The other legacy items that exist aren't OP? |

when ive started reading ive first thought this is a joke coz prophecy is by far the worst league we had for ages. ive started playing it but i stopped again after only 2-3 weeks in coz it was a boring and annoying league.
noone on my friendslist is playing anymore atm, really noone, and in past leagues ive always had 6-8 playing friends. we had several cool leagues and nothing made it into core game and now u tell us we will have to bother around with that prophecy fart for the rest of our poe lifes? i was only waiting for this league to end so i can fully start playing again.. last week ive upgraded my supporter package from challenger to ascendant but if i knew this was coming then i honestly doubt i wud have upgraded, coz i dunno if i'll still be able to fully enjoy the game when prophecies are always there. and what about race seasons? will we have the prophecy barf there too? man im quite pissed right now...

" But if you think about it, why does it bother you that much? You know that you don't have to pick up the silver coins that drop? You don't have to start a prophecy? It's optional. Exactly like the Masters are. You don't have to do the content if you really don't enjoy it. |

OP: This is quite exciting. Two close friends that play with me were drawn into PoE more than ever before due to the interesting nature of Prophecies and have been holding hope it may come to the core game.
Kudos GGG. I do have to say I'm rather miffed about the idea of Reach of the Council being changed. We've been putting our time in saving up keys to participate in the Pale Court encounter, with this bow being desired greatly for my build. Nearing the end of the event and having been working towards unlocking this item, it is slightly disheartening to think a core objective for re-involving myself may be altered in a negative manor. Regardless, Prophecy has been great. Keep up the good work. |

" sadly with prophecies this might not be that easy, it depends on the rewards/loot you get from prophecies and if prophecies are in the league challenges. especially in races the first point could have quite an impact (masters i.e. are disabled in races but u also have them in league challenges). so neither of them really are optional. and silver coins are currency so u have to pick them up, who ignores currency drops? even worse if there are items which only drop in prophecies.. well lets just hope the best, cant change it anyways. |

" Ah, I stand corrected. I didn't think about challenges. That can be an issue I guess. |

Prophecy was much more fun before the Nerf,alts get practically no good prophecy's it seems like the majority of items listed on trade sites are very old so i see this just getting worse with more inbound negative changes to items and even less good prophecy's.
If this is what the game is turning into then why the nerf mid league. Prophecy is a whole different experience for alts compared to first runs and not in a good way, some items/prophecys were pulled completely and drops were nerfed making it worse,,and i dont see how they could be a core component when even more items are treated that way.Putting things into the game and then killing their drop rate or usefulness is never a good thing ever, those playing catch up never get anything worth a hoot imo. Making it a core mechanic will not be a fresh idea and probably lose more player base in the end when compared to something truly new. Remember when high end gear was really high end !
Classic Audio all the way,olderthandirt and twice as Grizzly :) |

" +1 for this. I vote to keep the current Reach of the Council bows in-game as "legacy" items. If this or any items was a true game changer that "brakes or broke" the play, then it would not be an issue to nerf it. As this bow is not such an item, leave as is. peace |

Thank you GGG! You are one of my favorite gaming companies. You really know how to listen to the players!

Personally I liked Prophecy for the Quests that needed to be done like kill and army of frogs or fight a warbands with there leader but the only thing that was annoying was the fact that it required you to "Buy" your Prophecies which to me was always annoying Imagine having to pay Cadiro just for him to show you an item you want to buy. It's the same as Prophecies you have to buy a prophecy to see what it is. I think it would be better for everyone if you could seek all the prophecies you wanted but you had to pay to seal them that way I don't use 8 Silver coins seeking a full set of Prophecies and then I only have about 6-10 coins left and I can only seal about 2 or 3 and I'm stuck with ones I can't do or it's not worth doing.
