Massive item drops including six socket items but for items needed such as six -linked- items that have the right color combinations. Important items need to to be purchased through third party websites $$. By the time something important drops the value of it in the trade room has dropped as well. So one needs to pay to play the developer as well as third party websites. Not a game I would recommend for those who work or go to school. The necessary amount of time reading and researching is not practical for those with a real life or a tight budget.
I have no objection to pay the developers to a degree but the -need- for third party websites is concerning. If you have the money and time to spend what and who you are funding through third party websites is a mystery and a gamble. Buyer beware. If a game is that complicated that an average pedestrian can't play there is a reason. Note there has been nothing said about 'winning'. The simple act of participation is a challenge that might not be considered reasonable and or equitable for an average household. It would have been a lot more fun to say this game works. |

" I want to give you feedback on the current challenge league (Incursion): - good thing: its awesome - really great idea, and perhaps the only league so far that requires some thinking to get around. Puts your brain to work, not just your fingers - bad thing: the default incursion start time is too short - far too short, even breaches lasted longer. For a starting low level character that can do only low damage, and that has to waste time travelling between packs, it just isn't enough time. And just think about builds that deal damage over time, like blight or caustic arrow ones. For them, it's even worse. - recommandation: be sure to add the Incursion content to the main game, I'm sure most people will enjoy it, just like they did with the breach league. Or at least with the abyss one. Last edited by katmos on Jun 2, 2018, 12:45:52 PM

It's a cool mechanic. The biggest balance consideration I think is the number of incursions you get. 11 seems like a really low number and makes the "switch to a different room" a kind of bad unless you're fine with a tier 1 room. The chance of upgrading to tier 3 seems low enough already. On the other hand, increasing the number of incursions may put some people off also if they just want to run the temple apex faster.
I'm looking at the challenges again and one of them is to get tier 3 of every room. The low number of incursions and the inability to change what room Alva picks (I think, I've skipped Alva a couple of times but she keeps directing me to the same room) that challenge looks like it could be a shitshow. | |
Good:
- Great balance changes. Crap skills (like ele hit) are now worth using - Many Vaal skills are now usable, especially during boss fights - Nice rework of skills and nice visuals Bad: - TEMPLE TIMER IS TOO SHORT FFS!! This league is hell for anyone with a clunky slower clear speed. | |
" Not in the minority, my experience has been mostly the same, came back after a long time playing to 3.1, gave up at level 48 due to one shot mechanics that don't mix with this type of game. They just cater most of the game to the 0.01% reddit echo chamber who's life is the game and since it's a free to play game a large chunk of first timers just remove the game without posting since nothing was lost Last edited by Pinchyskree on Jun 3, 2018, 9:37:25 AM

I'm back with bestiary add-on after more than year. When Bestiary has nice start at act 1 and huge downhill in act 2-3, Incursion fell like running in a deep thick mud. I try second character now, and honestly I'm fight myself to play it. Even worse, is too time-consuming especially when you not get good connection between temple rooms. Feel like waste of time when your incursion went bad and been punish harder and sever when exploring temple. Trash.

For now league feels good. There are no nets anymore WOOOHOHOHOO
But in incursions and temple im lagging more than before. Sometimes it feels like 2 harbringers + beyond at my screen in flashback |

I didn't post any impression since I started the game but I sure do love the game. I'm quite "disapointed" by the current league. It's well programmed and explained in game, that's a positive change regarding previous leagues.
But on the negative down side is : 1/ servers are laggy at peak hour now (it might be due to the new loading of instances without loading screen) 2/ temple and incursions are just not worth it (if you dont aim for double corruption). Absolutly not worth it weither about loot or exp. The risk/reward isn't worth it compared to map, laby or any other breach/council/whatever. I followed the discussion, the news, I conducted my own researches, ran about 20 full temple at map level and I'm now sure that if loot/exp tables are not changed (and change displayed in logs) I won't dive in any incursion or temple anymore. I mean, that is fun, but my life is not extensible and incursion is less fun, have far less progression than the rest of the game now. /feedback of an average gamer, that usually don't make that much noise (oh yeah I forgot : seriously, balancing ? even malthi can't keep cool and use big words) |

So far I love this mechanic, the only issue that rises for me is dropping into an incursion and being instagibbed without room for retort.
