Content Update 3.26.0 — Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas

Sirgog made a video recently and said that if you are a single player, you might as well consider skipping this league because of the huge party play buffs that will destroy the economy more than it's ever been destroyed before. RIP Poe 1 before it even launches.

hahahahhaha and even get as coins to gold converter to sanctum... this has to be some kinda joke??? WHY NOT JUST MAKE BOSSES DROP GOLD??? Like sanctum wasnt already dead. [Removed by Support]

Big L on a Scion with Guardian node.
Just why...

So what I've read here is Memories are completely removed from the game so RIP endgame crafting and, Splitting Steel (The only skill I've enjoyed playing for 4 patches in a row gets an unnecessary proj returning) nerf without a single MTX for the skill. I was genuinely excited for the league but upon reading the patch notes I might just give up the game all together.

Then you arent reading, it clearly states many have been moved to kirac missions, which can be specced into on the tree,

The problem that they are just buffed party and doomed solo mf. I want mf, could you ask GGG for me to return MF in the game, so I'll be not against party farmers. Deal :3 ?

I want solo MF too, always loved "rarity/quantity" mechanics. But "casuals" hate MF and GGG listened to them.

Cause MF is a horrible stat that makes the game impossible to balance. Hell, the D2 devs said item find was a mistake they wish they had never made there. It's either mandatory or irrelevant, and instead of having to adjust hundreds of items, tiering, and weighting, they always knee-jerk base rate nerfs. So the game becomes worse and worse for non-MF players as they try to rein in people with 200% quant and 250% rarity running around (arbitrary numbers since I don't remember what we could stack up to).

They can read just fine. The memories are dead. They don't work the same way they used to. They are just normal maps now that get affected by the atlas tree. So no more Crystal Prisons where they ramp up the number of trapped monsters and tier of the essences.

Its a horrible stat for you maybe, but not for everyone else. You guys(whiners specifically) always tend to forget that this game is not for you only.

"Atlas Memories have been removed. Existing items will be deleted upon logging in, and existing Memories on your Atlas have been removed.
Introduced some new Red-tier Kirac Missions that you might recognise from previous Atlas Memories."

What exactly are you talking about?

As a sanctum player, I'm fine with the sanctumn neft since we don't have a choice for what GGG decide to give us in the new league and it's good to see the sunlight with a new build after a long time digging in the sanctumn. But please re-consider the party buff as it will destroy the economy of the league really fast

Affliction league was an example of it. Streamer's parties after 1 week got plenty of mirrors which boost the price of everything to a new level. Although solo players were struggled at first, but luckyly we have solo MF to manage getting back to the economy

But with this current stage of the new league, I'm not sure how can we kept up with the farming stragegy here. Everything was neft. Solo players make less currency while the cost and everything increases. On the other hand, team players can get double reward with only 1/6 of the cost lol. Seemed faired to me

Meaning they've removed the only piece of content that I could find myself doing. I've played for a number of years and have go through the dark times of playing for 8-10 hours and not getting a single div drop or not making more than 5 divines from bulk selling random materials in an entire play session. When I decided to dip my toes into memories being able to bulk sell beasts for extreme liquid was my way of being able to make whatever builds I wanted in a league. Them removing the players (Me and many others) ability to do the content they want (i.e. Beast Memories) they're basically hyper inflating the crafting cost to make decent end-game gear.

Until I see the legitimacy of Kirac's rework from a map completion tool to a memory replacement that serves no purpose outside of curbing the rate at which players can farm the materials they need (Beasts, Essence, Lifeforce) and forcing them to engage in ANOTHER RNG system that time-gates your ability to access those memories. As far as I'm seeing this Patch is an L and a slap in the face from the now "PoE 2" devs bringing their game design from that game back to this one. They are getting desperate to expand the lifetime of a league so they can manage the development of both games while actively forcing us to play in groups if we ever want to see the amount of currency we've seen in past leagues.
