MY TOP ISSUES WITH THE TEMPLE MECHANIC - Full feedback after playing it for 100h+
|
First of all, I just want to say that I really enjoy the core mechanics and the depth of this league and I think it has insane potential if properly tuned.
In this post I wanna specifically focus on the moment to moment gameplay inside the temple, so here are my biggest issues: 1. Room completion objectives - Having to kill every single monster to complete a room is annoying, epecially because mobs stay in corners and don't aggro you or hide behind objects. It would be way better if rooms had specific objectives, such as killing the boss or rares. 2. Backtracking - As the temple gets larger, it gets more tedious to traverse it as there are not enough checkpoints. Also a 9x9 temple might be a bit much after playing for a while. 3. Monsters hiding in corners and smoke clouds - This is the single most annoying thing about the temple. The worst room is the Spymaster, where you have both monsters hiding in corners and smoke clouds that make them invisible. Clearing that room on a melee "ethical" build is a literal nightmare. 4. Small rooms and impassable terrain - The room sizes would be ok, but the issue is that all of them are full of impassable terrain, making them very cluttered and more tedious to clear without a Temporalis build. Also after juicing your temple, the visual clarity in the rooms goes to zero. 5. Travelling between rooms and getting stuck in doors - A lot of connections between rooms are tight passages that are not even a straight line and it can get tiring after a while. Also monsters can aggro you before even entering a room, so you end up stuck in this tiny door or getting knocked down if you want to sprint in order to travel between rooms. Honorable mention: Getting hit by monsters while interacting with crafting benches or transcension devices.

These are annoying, but having no undo/confirm button for room placement and no start over/destroy temple button to wipe everything are way bigger issues than everything you listed.

What bothers me the most is having to learn how to do it on Youtube, which are all 30min videos that overwhelm and make me tired within the first 2min.

Lol the top 1 issue with the temple is being completely broken and overshadowing any other kind of content in the game by a massive margin, you guys are effin insane if you think the temple isnt gonna get massively nuked next league.

" +1 I wouldn't at all be surprised if the temple doesn't even make it to core. You might still get the crafting currencies and uniques, but the rest of the league is gone. And if the temple makes it to core, expect a crippling amount of nerfs to the point a lot of players who used it will cry "poverty league" in 0.5.0. If GGG is smart, they won't even give us precursor tablets for this so people can't farm temples. 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 |

" Incursion is without a doubt going core. Mash the clean

" Given the current state we see right now, one of three things would need to happen for it to go core: 1. Precursor tablets must not be available for it, otherwise people will farm up the temple layout and crash the economy again. 2. Serious changes to destabilization mechanics must be implemented to prevent making long room chains. 3. Room bonuses must be harshly cut so temples don't produce currencies by the truckload. GGG's killed currency printer leagues for less in the past. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

" in my opinion, only one change is needed and that is to remove the lock medallion and everything will fall in place nicely. snakes cannot be formed. players will have to go for tree branch or random layout instead. ggg should just remove the lock medallion now to test out the effects. 34pre98qua

" They did technically. At least many players reported low drop rates of these medallions. But those players also cry like their houses were destroyed in natural disaster lol. |
