Early Access Feedback - Please Avoid Overly Complicated League Mechanics Going Forward - Forum

It's the league mechanic, so it will (almost always) be more rewarding than normal mapping. That's the whole point of a league mechanic, new thing, rewarding, frequent. After the league ends and if it goes core (which right now everything will, as these "leagues" are just the pre-planned base content) it will be just like abyss, ritual, etc. Less frequent, something you can spec into, less rewarding but offering a different style for those that enjoy it. I have 2k+ hours in this game. I mean that getting 3 crystals per map is too much. When it will be on tablet they should make it so you can only run 2 temples per tablets. 1 crystal per map, 5 activation. If people can run 5 temples per tablet (10 maps) it's way too much.

They will make crystals tradable just like splinters, probably nuke the loots room mobs out of orbit, make the most valuable one from killing atziri Exploit early exploit often bozos.

" Valsacar#0268 wrote: Some of us have brains that actually enjoy being exercised a bit. The great thing about having things like temple in the game is that if you don't like it, you can ignore it. Eee that's 100 % wrong. If you ignored temple you had to quit. Snakes were currency printing exploit that made price hikes few x times crazier than in any previous 0.s, It was IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with the inflation without it. I wouldn't mind overcomplicated long set up mechanics if they were properly balanced vs other other stuff. 0.4 showed we CAN NOT trust GGG to do so.

In trade, people were saying they were making bank by farming Expedition Logbooks. I believe it, because to progress my characters in SSF, temple is nowhere near enough. You could farm Sekhemas. Or Delirium. Maybe Temple of Chaos farmers took a hit, but that still seems to drop more soul cores than the Vaal Temple. I think a lot of the temple complaints came from people who didn't know how to farm, or who didn't want to farm, and just wanted to get divines. 0.4 SSF: Gemling Minions: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/DistributedAutomaton-5739/character/CrystalController 0.3 SSF: Evasion-only melee challenge character: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/119e9 Last edited by DistributedAutomaton#5739 on Feb 5, 2026, 6:48:31 PM	Posted by DistributedAutomaton#5739 on Feb 5, 2026, 6:47:57 PM Quote this Post

So you are in SSF, you havent traded this league, have no idea about inflation pace. I think people who had 0 practical experience on using trade for improving gear in first month of the league have no place to jump to these conclussions. Runic splints ya sure, tell me how big bank I could make on runic splinters to compete with 100 div (in raw currency only) per temple run people who inflated prices 5-10x in a week when I played less around christmas and new years ?

" So it will be nerfed - but how? Well I think they could just pull out the lynchpin. That means they could remove the medallions that prevent room destabilization - that would probably be enough. In GGG fashion, I know they will also change some other things to really put a nail in the coffin, so I could see something like "Rooms have a chance to change into another tile", including just a hallway tile. Nothin like your t3 spymaster suddenly turning into a 4-way hallway tile that connects any "snaking" attempts lol. The whole idea of rooms buffing each other was very bad. There is no way to fix this system so it must be removed completely. Instead of grinding for stupid medallions and forcing players to build stupid snake layouts they should have made more different rooms some of which could be super rare and desirable with great loot. The only thing you need is just to find them (by typical crystals grind). No matter how you place them or where - just place them and run, get loot, enjoy. After that they are removed. That's it. Simple, easy, effective, without 10 manuals of how to exploit to get loot.	Posted by Azimuthus#1135 on Feb 5, 2026, 9:13:27 PM Quote this Post

Multiple people posted here about their non-temple farming strategies, saying it was one of the best leagues ever. I'm telling you what I read, and why I believed them. Looks as though Expedition Logbooks are 1 div each right now. Runic splinters are cheaper.

I quit soon after new years. Snakers sky rocketed prices too fast. Doing atlas is a joke, to me game is about running in 6 man on most challenging mechanics, that wasnt possible without high end gear. And these parties were just rushing through through naked maps anyway. Do not waste time on maps just split and find cristals and then do 100 div temple. There were no other farming strategies allowing to keep up with this. To me devs clearly made multiple mistakes that completely broke this league economy, making it simpler will be safer bet to avoid that mine field in next mechanic.
