Relic system is trash

This really should've been an addition, not a replacement...

Yeah I miss the tree. Its not the worst thing they have done though.

Im quitting because of them removing the Atlas tree. I wish they had given us a choice between using the Atlas or using relics. Relics completely killed my will to play this league.

Theres nothing wrong with them and theyre quite strong. I just dont like the system and wish I had the Atlas.

+1, progressing feels just as trash as PoE2, I don't want my progress pace dictated by poor map drops WTF. It's the same bullshit as in PoE2, sure you get there eventually, but the pacing is really poor and is not fun lol. YEAH LET'S DESTROY LOW TIER MAPS UNTIL EVENTUALLY YOU GET ONE HIGHER MAP? xD

At least in PoE2 you could farm boss atlas for progressing up. Now you just, I guess, don't progress? GGG, please don't go in that direction. Please don't start "timegating" progress with stupid mechanics.

Don't design the game with only player retention in mind. Blizzard did the same.

I was actually having fun with the league until I realised I just had zero map sustain. The maps I was getting were loaded full of league mechanics and it was nice, but I don't want to be trapped in yellow maps until RNG sees fit to give me idols that can help me actually get higher.

Amazing how they went from an absolute banger 3.25 league, to this.

w8 for 3.26 relic system is realy bad lol

Turn off this pathetic mechanic with relics, bring back the regular atlas! This is impossible to play! We go out on maps and understand that we have no influence on anything, we can't choose how to progress and what to farm, we just collect vinaigrette from relics. Do you think this is fun?
Do you think that the ability to recombine these relics has changed the situation much? No, putting random relics into the recombinator and waiting for sudden luck, and so on 1000-2000-3000 times, is not fun, and we are not monkeys. Show at least a little respect for the players!

You're talking about a game that still wants you to manually identify all items in 2025.

That ship sailed long ago. This currency simulator is masochistic to a degree that D2 could only dream of.
