I find it perplexing how people at GGG keep saying they want to make the road to level 100 harder, yet stuff like this keeps getting added in.

people liked legion because of the insane rewards for doing it on low levels / efforts, not for it's mechanics or those over colorful and oversized monster models who offscreen oneshot you with more than 6k life.

that's the path your're going?

So yeah...

"In Legion we experimented with end game content that could be played endlessly. Players responded very positively to being able to play the Domain of Timeless Conflict content indefinitely if their build was capable of doing so. This will remain when Legion is added to the core game.

We will, however, be adding a diminishing return for rewards from monsters from the encounter. The intent here is to normalise rewards somewhat, so that every player experiencing this content gets good rewards, and character power doesn't have as significant an impact on how valuable Domain of Timeless Conflict encounters are.

To that end, we have increased the rewards for the first cycle of monsters, reducing them each revive cycle."

1. It's not beeing played ENDLESSLY - it's 5 mins at a time, and by the emblem price that the no-lifers have skyrocketet...not everyone can enjoy...so its far from endless (u need currency to play it, or a lot of time farming splinters which is awfull) - ...not a biggy here...

2. "being able to play the Domain of Timeless Conflict content indefinitely if their build was capable of doing so" - YEAH - if their build was capable...meaning if their build costs 300-400 ex....not 30-40ex. (that is if u want good results - and it should stay that way)

AND TO THE JUICE

3. "and character power doesn't have as significant an impact on how valuable Domain of Timeless Conflict encounters are"

OK ! SO WHY THE DUCK WOULD WE TRY TO BE MORE POWERFULL IF IT WILL BE EASIER FOR ALL ?
If the conflict area becomas accesable to all, and easy to farm, it will become shit, it wont be something VIP, wont be end-game, wont be uber feature of the game as it is now.

SOME OF US invested a lot of CURRENCY adn TIME in builds to aboslutely be the best inside there...u are targeting us...not helping the poor Joe ;)
The only motive u want to make the Conflict Arena to the same level as beast encounters...is to take awway the fun from the ones who can do it as it should...by the current stadnards - which are very good....conflict should be hard....its a freaing 5 ARMY CONFLICT...it should not be ez to farm for every lvl 90 char with decent 30-50ex build like its nothing...

TBH its kinda trash that every league a new build is made...and killed at the end of the league in which it was made...instead of leaving the builds there to be plaied...cause every league...everyone plays 2-3-4 builds...the most efficient one...cause the older good ones...are getting nerfed...cause u know...why would the game have a ton of good builds (expensive also ofc) that u can chose from...why not make it like Diablo with 2 builds in the game and everyone plays that....

Dunno why by this smells like a scheme.... ;)

Legion was a very well-received league.

In addition to receiving an abundance of positive feedback from players

and engagement with the league's content continues to be high.

Any build can do it, you just need 3 IL + HH. Oh but this is content for 0.5% community WHO ACTUALLY HAVE ALL. They don't need to farm this. To the end who actually need this - can't farm. Who don't - can, but don't care. But now in core with lower chance to spawn more than 95% even cant collect 5 emblems or spend some currency for it, because of it be MUCH MORE expensive. And this zone becomes a privileged club for people who can spend more than 10+ex for open 5 emblem portals + have hh (150ex+) + 3(+) IL (~45ex+). What a brilliant idea. So smart GGG. So smart.
