Vaal league personal honest opinion

Havent played yet, first league when life put obstacles to not start season with others. But was actively following progress trough discord screenshares from friends. My and my opinion only i think campaign looked really good this league. Mob density strength and their life balances looked really good. Power progression for character also looked good if you have played before and know how to progress your character. Always a bit stronger then enemies and have no problem to deal with them. Overall i think campaign is in a very good state nothing to add or remove except extra content for future. Item drops as always kinda meh but if you have some knowledge in game not a biggie. I guess for new players it is different experience. But if it would be too easy it would be boring. We all been there. Currency drops also good in campaign seems that for most of my friends even firs divine drop happened around Act3/4 that allows you to spike with gear using market in early endgame. Endgame is like always especialy at start not much content (in game overall) but that will change with time. Not too mych currency drops early that makes you think and split currency across gear to make further into maps. Like changes like if you kill map boss first you see all missed content that you can run trough. Like that every map even without buffing allows random content. Dont like that still zoom is trash in map overview but maybe someday will find work around that. Happy for performance balance seems to be working kind of. Overall from what i saw decent league start. Also as always seems to be problems with client for AMD users. Other than that cant wait to start my journey into league
Thanks GGG for as it seems pretty good league start to play in. Waiting for future content updates.

0.4 feels like 0.2, it's bad. Overall the game is in terrible state because they can't develop two games at once, all we get is undercooked trash in both games

saying 0.4 is 0.2 is an absolute joke and just shows how little someone knows about the game. 0.2 was so bad they had to cut campaign mob health literally in half within days of launch. Has that happened in 0.4?

So far 0.4 is just feeling like 0.3 to me with some tweaks to endgame. Currency drop does feel much better than it did at the start of 0.3, I'm actually getting enough exalts to use them in the campaign.

League mechanic seems meh. It's cool, but reward just doesn't seem to be worth the PITA it is to run so far.

Also, the inability to reset / remove your temple rooms is a MASSIVE problem. You can easily brick your temple, and it could take, quite literally, 60+ map runs for it to fix itself.

New players should just IGNORE the league mechanic until they watch some videos from content creators telling them how to do it optimally so they don't brick themselves. That's not a very good way to design a league mechanic.

The Temple is trash and annoying. The rewards for anything not a tier 3 room is non-existent and even T3s aren't much better. Having to run the temple while in maps is just silly, if they could some how make it like an Alva encounter in POE1 where you run the room in the map and beating it unlocks it for future use, that would be 1000x better than its current form. (IMO)

The little vaal circle thing in maps doesn't drop anything like it does during the campaign. Why?

At least Druid is fun.

To me, the league is a complete miss. League mechanic is terrible and convoluted, campaign is getting boring because you're forced into certain playstyle by GGG and not to mention the stale endgame. I didn't play druid but from what i have seen it looks super clunky, visuals and good animations are cool and all but it has to be functional first
One can hope 3.27 and 0.5 will bring needed changes
