For players who have already completed their temples, they only need to upgrade and lock the rooms at the end of the chains to keep farming, with almost no impact on them. In contrast, for those still building their temples, expansion has become nearly impossible. This is because each step now requires upgrading and locking rooms, along with far more stringent room combination rules. For example, previously you could add Rooms A and B in one go and then lock Room B, but now you must follow the sequence of A-B-A to upgrade the final room to Level 2 before you can upgrade and lock it. Players who lack Intelligence Rooms will gradually lose all their rooms due to a shortage of locks.
Ironically, this nerf to room rewards has actually boosted the gains of players with fully completed temples. This is because profits stem from disparities. As everyone floods the market with Currency D, it in turn erodes their individual purchasing power. Players with completed temples can still rake in substantial profits (compared to regular map farming). For instance, Fubgun can still earn over 30 units of Currency D plus several rare Unique items per run, while the average player’s earnings will dwindle to zero. Previously, the dynamic might have been 80% of players earning 10 Currency Units each and 20% earning 50—with the latter group making five times as much as the former. Now, it has shifted to 80% of players earning a mere 1 Currency Unit and 20% earning 20.
In the end, players who have finished building their temples can keep farming because their profits are still far higher than those who haven’t, while the majority of incomplete temple owners end up as the losers. It’s safe to say that this patch—especially the mechanic that restricts locks to only Level 3 rooms—fully exposes GGG’s lack of understanding of the gameplay they themselves designed.

It blows my mind how people don't see the league was ruined the moment the unintended way of using the temple was discovererd lol.

imo, just delete everyones temples.
purge everyones divines, might as well farm tears now.

unintended? are you delusional?
some rooms stick to eachother, rooms have numbers representing their effect-
THIS IS LITERALLY THE MECHANIC
THIS IS IT
THATS HOW IT WORKS

it was tested by one intern who has like 3 other jobs

but UNINTENDED? WHAT?

The only unintended interaction is holten tech. Everything is working as intended. The amount of loot given by temple with stacking room modifiers was intended, but that intention was also balanced by the supposed time needed to built temple in endgame map, which was 1 crystal per 1 map. Everything would be fine if Holten unintended interaction nerfed / fixed, resetting all the temple made that way, and giving more than 1 crystals in endgame map.

But nobody in GGG are competent enough to think of this solution.

Juatalotli's Medallion can now only be placed on Tier III Rooms. This will not be indicated on the Medallion's hover text for now and will be updated at a later time.
