BIG POLL about mechanics enjoyment level!
I'll be back in 10 days to check the results. Going through the list of mechanics, I was actually surprised at how few of them I actually enjoy (as opposed to just running them bc they tend to be more profitable).

Blight used to be my favourite. Reminds me of Deathtrap. But now seems to be broken so, even though I thought about it being the only one deserving an actual 5, I gave it a 4.
I don't particularly like any other mechanic (they are all mostly "click to spawn monsters") but I do dislike Ultimatum and Sanctum specially. I hope that for 3.26, now that it has been announced, they make something original like in Trials of the Ancients but with some good late game content like a Pinnacle boss that expands on the lore or something. Also I hope they don't make it too RNG reliant like in the Wildwood season. Cheers! |

FWIW. Poll Done.
Harbinger, Delve, Blight and Harvest are my favourites. Actually surprised at how indifferent / meh i find most other mechanics. Betrayal is do because i feel like i have to get those recipes.. Never really played Sanctum honestly. I mostly just run them for currency... oWo 3rd league. Started with Tattoo league. Ancestors. |

I have probably played most those leagues but cannot remember what they are. What I can tell you that anything that takes you out of the action is not fun. Anything that gives you borrowed power is not fun. Anything that complicates the game play and is mind boggling to a new player is not fun. People enjoy moving forward, a new season, a new level. A new season a new class or ascendancy. A new season an added boss or mystery. A puzzle to figure out. Those things are fun.
I do not enjoy crafting, or building gardens, or screwing with npcs. I don't want to collect statues or do mindless quests. POE 1 became way too bloated and season mechanics were most of the culprit. |
