Is Metamorph ever coming back in an upgraded form?
I`m probably one of the only few who would take Metamorph over Ultimatum any time.
I really liked the green dots on the map telling you your next objective, while just passively going from one to the next over and over again without any hiccups on the way until you finish the map and then you get rewarded with your choice of loot and bonus objective. While Ultimatum is like, here is a pause, and another, and another, and another, like 10 times in a row and you have almost no say in what loot you are getting and at some point the mechanic feels oppressive to me. Metamorph mapping is simple and straightforward and you get an interesting little mechanic at the end of the map. I am not one of those who has to have perfect times on every map. Metamorph has just one bit in the end and a boss fight. Whereas Ultimatum feels more clunky and slower overall. Metamorphs only bad side for me was, that it randomly could just spawn a ridiculous ununderstandable monster that just kills you from time to time. So, if only it would get some love and upgrades instead of just completely be deleted would be nice. Last bumped on Jun 13, 2025, 8:15:34 PM

Archnemesis did Metamorph....properly (ignoring the OP mods ofc). It's a shame we don't have either mechanic. Being able to customize a monster encounter is a wonderful idea.
Metamorph wasn't great because we had very little actual control. Unique organs were pretty much mandatory and if the mods were bad that meant an unkillable, uncustomizable mess. It was also much much harder to figure out if the metamorph was going to be unkillable through the organs alone. AN was far more clear Starting anew....with PoE 2 Last edited by cowmoo275#3095 on Jun 13, 2025, 8:42:08 AM

I'd love to see a return as well, though it was rippy, i actually enjoyed it. Loved to lootsplotion from self-assembled one^^

I miss Tane. I miss Hillock crafting. I miss glove/boot/belt enchants too.

If I had to choose, I'd rather Archnemesis came back. The monsters were a hell of a lot less punishing.
Nerf the rewards, but bring AN back as a mechanic. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! And the winds will cry / and many men will die / and all the waves will bow down / to the Loreley |

+1 for Metamorph.
Never forget the Alt Qual Gem deletion, the Ex > Div swap and loss of various crafting methods.
Revive Metamorph/Crucible. Refine Sentinel/Kalandra content. Bring back legacy modifiers/values. Where's my EShroud buff? |

" So few people remember how GOOD Archnemesis actually was...because of the travesty it became afterward. It was everything metamorph was, except better rewards and better customization. Starting anew....with PoE 2
