Why Affliction feels so good.

To be fair - for me this league is the best ever made and i hope with every drop of my blood that everything goes baseline. Jeesus i am having the time of my (POE)-Life.

remove all mf gear

make juice amount scale with map tiers so that you can never find like 10k juice in yellow maps

and it's a perfect league. now, not so much

While I like the league, I agree with you. MF items should go, and wisp scaling should have more impact in higher tier maps. Still, have a ton of fun this league.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

Thats problem with MF, not league. The league itself make enemies seceral times stronger but also gives you several times more loot.

I'm not sure that it's a problem, actually.

MF has always been like this, and while yes, right now it's the most extreme it has ever been, the game economy is handling it imo rather well - I've been doing 100 % challenge hunting, with no focused farming, and I'm sitting on ~70D purely because harvest juice, fragments, and invitations are so valuable. At the same time, Mageblood costs about the same as last league.

That's normal tho? LOL


It is not. Check last leagues numbers on Steamchart and you'll see. Most leagues take 21 days for it to happen (a week later).

Once again, that's my opinion, sir. No need to be so aggressive about that. :)
Good luck and happy hunting.

Let's check...
ToTA
Launch: 152033
Day14: 56710

DropOff = -62 %

Aff
Launch: 167593
Day14: 91676

DropOff = -45 %


Affliction is MASSIVELY overperforming the antecending league, and I wonder from where you got the half of players lost.

You are not using the Sylvester peak number, and pretending like it's a normal day, are you?

Because that would be really stupid... :)

As I said, that was my comment and my opinion, no need to be aggressive. :)
The data I gathered on Steamchart (https://steamcharts.com/).

You guys should go for a walk sometimes. Meet and talk to people. Maybe you'll be a little worse on the game and better on your lives.

Cheers!


Data does not exist in a vacuum.

Without related information it's just a number and can be interpreted any which way, which is why you earned yourself the comment about being dishonest and lazy. Rightfully, I should add.

There's a ton of web resources that I am happy to point you towards should you be interested in learning more about data.

Cheers!

Thats exactly why you are struggling with money. Because you try to enter market that is flooded by thousands of playersi nstead doing something else.


Yeah, if players stop taking market this serious and just play the game as it is, a game... But somehow to be into you have to lose your social life, self care, put more than 16 hours every day nonstop, have poe ninja aside with 5 different videos on how to get currency, price fix every 30 mins, reading market variations, doing exaclty what the strat is, copying everything

Like bruh it's just a game, ggg not gonna pay you for the effort
I do 2-3 maps a day at most, I have the game in the background while listen to music and talk to my friends or work (remote work), there are days I make 5 divines without literally doing anything other than answering a trade, others


And I'm not even interested in selling them, I still have them fully of dust in the stash

There's a guy streaming who himself dropped 10 mirrors and counting. And there's not even a month going on league yet.

I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you that much. This league is not that funny, at least not for me. Economy is sorta messed up because of what GGG made.

I don't really care about that, but I usually like to switch between builds middle-league, try new stuff, grab my own challenges (without buying them), and when the prices of everything ramp up (because nobody cares about selling stuff for chaos anymore and divines are being dropped by 10s, not 1s), it sorta gets more difficult and I have to stop to farm the same map everyone's farming, using the same abyss mechanic everyone's abusing...

I think that the whole idea of the wisps are nice, but they kinda put "too much" on it.


Every complaint you just listed can be laid at the feet of mf juicing abyss spires(which is honestly kind of busted to begin with), not the league mechanic itself. The OP is spot on.
