Finished campaign in Phrecia 2.0, my only question is who asked?

Lots of people were hyped for this fun event, then you go and put cringy gauntlet mods into it without telling us(the only mention was a vague "bosses got new abilities" in the announcement lmao) making the campaign 1000x worse to do. Its a good thing I played Power Siphon mines and had good dps to kill the bosses fast, I have no clue how people are dealing with this bs on other builds.

Campaign took 13 hours, then spent 1 hour in hideout doing gems and capping res because I'm on a scuffed mouse that doesn't want to move fast atm lul


Who asked for this gauntlet nonsense to be put into the event? At the very least they should have put it in HC only, or made it opt-in. Over half the players that joined the event already quit, 7 people on my friends list were playing on the launch night and now there are 0.


Next time maybe don't ruin one of the most fun events this game has had with this kind of "difficulty".

I'm happy its there. I've been wanting to run the funny bosses without having to do it in a hardcore setup, cause I prefer to play casually while I listen to audiobooks.

I mean that's great, but like I said the least they could have done is made all this gauntlet stuff optional, then players who want to try it out can do so and everyone else gets to have fun too.

The entire event is optional. You chose to participate. Boss mechanics were a part of the event.

Nobody expected it to have copy-pasted gauntlet stuff mixed in there. This event is a scam.

perhaps the crowd unable to read didn't expect at least something similar to gauntlet mechanics...

But those that actually read the posts from GGG were prepared.

Nowhere in the post did it say gauntlet stuff was gonna be in this event. It was just vague "bosses have gained new abilities". It isn't even new its just pasted over from previous gauntlet event lol


People thought they were gonna play Phrecia again, not Gauntlet CBT in campaign and then you get to the actual Phrecia event in maps.

This is a machine translation.

I completely agree.

I think what hack-and-slash users want to play is the endgame, not the campaign. If they're going to include event content, I'd like it to be in the endgame.
They should run an event that increases the time required for the campaign several times and makes it so that you can't even beat an ACT boss without dying multiple times, and then take statistics on how many customers who moved on to other games return.
I played the last Phrecia, but I'm not playing this one because I think it's a really boring event. I don't want to play an event that makes the campaign a pain.

In addition to this, we’ve also sprinkled a few extra twists into the mix. To start with, every area will have a random number of map modifiers, with this number scaling up with area level. We’ve removed many modifiers from the pool that would brick builds, such as reflect.

From here

Izaro one tapping me with 5k hp has been my favorite so far.

I really loved Phrecia 1, but this whole event feels like it's there just to spite the less hardcore players who loved this mode in the past to make sure nobody ever ask for this again.
