    The league mechanic is fun, but the auction house is amazing. Being able to liquidate anything anytime is fantastic. Or to buy exactly how much you want of various things like alterations or essences. They did a great job on it too where if you place a big order it will find a bunch of little offers that fairly closely match to fulfill it, and even give you change if warranted. Spamming 50 people down a list with whispers was never fun.
    That said, waking up to 1-3 divines from the ships you sent to kalguur overnight is also a huge perk

    The melee rework and making slams viable again made me the happiest ive been while playing this game in a long time. I didnt have any issues with pianoing 5 warcrys early on but im down to 3 now with the rest of them autoexerted. The nerf to determination made it also possible to not feel too bad by not running it and the change to endurance charges made it possible to work with your defences differently.

      My main gripe about the Currency exchange is the market prices that it shows you are almost 9/10 times incorrect. I'm not even joking there's been so many things I just 2nd nature check the value of with Awakened PoE Trade app before I list them and when I check the value in chaos it says some shit like 8c for 100 when in reality its 35c for 100. The idea and concept is good but they need to seriously fix those suggested ratios they show. I don't know what data they are pulling from to get those ratios but they are horribly wrong and I 100% guarantee you that MANY many players have been deceived into thinking "oh okay my 50 ___ is worth 10c fair enough" when in reality that 50 ___ was worth 25c and was 1:2 ratio and not 1:5.

    was planning on using the new mace that can have 3 enchants with vaal skills, flat fire per 5% mana and fortify but it would cost me like 40 divs and the build could end up sucking making all that currency being wasted because nobody would buy later on if the build sucks

      That does sound interesting! And in a way it does make sense for the cost of extremely strong enchants to be high ("rare"). Similar to how most really good uniques (mageblood, HH, Nimis etc) are also very rare. I think part of the cost is how rare some of the runes are, and part of it is that they are so good, that some people buy them "no matter the cost".
      The Unique that can be enchanted and has +2 additional enchantments (is it 2 or 3 total?) would be really interesting to see when "bricked" into a rare. Sure, the chances of it being good (or even just better then the Unique itself) are slim, but the potential is interesting!

    This is my first PoE season, I don't think I would've stuck around if it weren't for the new currency exchange. P2P trading is a massive hassle in this game, I'm used to games having their own trading platforms built in. I still need to use the external trade website to buy my gear, but I very rarely have to interact with it when I'm selling my mats. Maxed out Grove and I've just been selling my lifeforces, super quick, super convenient.

      @MyNameIsSalo Місяць тому

      im having fun this league too but affliction doesnt compare. it was way more fun. The issue with this league is the lack of scaling endgame content, once you can clear t17s then what else is there to do as far as scaling content? And clearing t17s/ubers is very easy currently.
      In affliction you had wisps that can make content like 10-20x harder, so the ceiling for the most difficult content was much much higher and that made me want to grind for a mageblood and other expensive items and make builds that can faceroll that content. I like being faced with a challenge and problem solving it. The current game does not pose any challenges except for deep delve and no hit sanctums, and I personally don't enjoy delve or sanctums. Have seriously considered HC this league but my shitty australian internet isn't stable enough sadly

      Right now I am not even engaging with the league mechanics. I guess I will at one point, as a gold sink. But idle towner doesn't do it for me. It just stresses me out without any satisfaction, so I decided to opt out for now, and just have fun with the new classes.

    For the past two days I've been stuck on four of the five ports needing Crimson Iron, to a total of 744k Ore, or 149k Bars, and since one of the upgrades you get on the Miner makes the rare ore more common, this stuff barely appears.

    My take (for what it is worth) as an experienced relatively high volume player. Once you reach my level of play it is easily more "efficient" to just ignore the town and do your thing in maps. But even though it is almost certainly a little waste of time I don't mind fiddling around just to mix things up. I have not even used the currency exchange yet but like usual I load up before I sell all the misc junk and then have a dedicated trade hour or two - so I suspect that it will be good (for instance) to sell all of my essences and scarabs. I had gotten used to trading big currency stacks for divines so I wasn't bothered too much by trading since I tended to use the bulk trading. But I am sure the casuals are thrilled. Anyway, I greatly prefer mapping league mechanics like Affliction, Sentinel and Scourge but that's just me but I recognize that GGG tries to do the before mentioned "mix it up" to I'm happy with my favorite game in general.

    The auction house is the mvp for this league. A lot of strategies immediately become profitable. Personally I like harvest, but the issue with harvest is it’s hard to really do much with early. Nobody is going to buy your 1k juice they’re buying from people with a larger supply, or if someone out there IS willing to buy 1k juice from me I have to sit around and wait for that person to show up wanting my juice.
    The auction house will literally just find someone to take my harvest juice off me provided I have it priced at the rate someone is asking for.
    I think a lot of mechanics became early league viable with this because I no longer have to wait for my build to be capable of doing juiced strategies.

  • @Nathan-hl4uq
    @Nathan-hl4uq Місяць тому

    Two things on the gold cost.
    1. They want you to have a comparably strong build, to how strong your town is. If you got way more gold than you needed, there would be no incentive to improve your character and do more difficult content. You would hit a point where sitting around waiting for your town to spit out currency, was better time spent, than running maps.
    2. They want it to be something you engage with while you are actively playing. Not something that runs in the background when you aren't on. With an abundance of gold you would just log in, setup your town, and log off.
    All that being said, I farm T17s. I regularly sit at 300k gold while my entire town is active. But I didn't hit this point until I finished upgrading everything. If anything they could reduce gold costs of upgrades, the gold drop feels fine.

    I will say I liked this league mechanic alot.
    The one change/add-on I would request is a gather minion. Imagine a singe gem slot (like portal) that makes an ankle high minion to break crates and pickup gold. I picture the thing interacting with items that don't take inventory space. Maybe if it leveled, unlike portal, maybe it could get 0-8 inventory slots size items along the way.

      There's already a gem for it, it's called Frostblink of Wintry Blast. Cast it toward crates and voilà, they break and you get the gold. Did you notice the gold picks itself ? I sure hope you did.

    Only thing I'd like to add is this: A lot of people feel like they "need' to log in to keep up with their town, while they have literally everything going at once, and are complaining about the cost of things. I don't think we're meant to have everything going, all at once, all day, every day. So while I do agree some of the gold costs could use a bit of scaling down, I think more people need to prioritize what they want rather than asking for gold nerfs first. My gameplay changed when I realized that I don't *have* to try to fight for gold to run the whole town and do upgrades at the same time. The only thing I would say should always be running is farming, and that's very easy to maintain with minimal play. From there it's actually super easy to generate the gold needed to upgrade. Plus, a lot of the payouts of the various features are much better when upgraded anyway, so why waste resources while they're not at their maximum potential?
    Anyway, that really changed my perspective and I think that's the more enjoyable way to engage with the mechanic, and I wish I had done so sooner rather than struggle for the first week to keep up with everything.

    My favorite thing about Mathil is that he understands things from a normal players perspective. I feel like some of the juicers and streamers lose touch with that fact. Not all of us can play 3+ hours a day and some of these grinds are absolutely insane. Looking at 80 div for one weapon enchant is crazy. But you don't want to spend that and it put it on a shit weapon, so most of us would want to farm a great end game weapon first. People say not to get involved with the FOMO but it's kind of hard when you're looking at a 2+ week grind for a single enchant that's a league mechanic. I feel like fun league stuff should be more accessible.

    I have tried with the obelisk scarab for like 20 maps but after that i went with the extra harbinger scarab as it seems to me that 2 extra harbingers allways is better. It may not allways be better lootwise but the extra gold from 2 more harbingers is atleast to me more worth and makes it easier to upkeep in the Kingsmarsch and also got extra gold if i want to use auction house. But its still just my 2 cents. I guess it would be what you yourself like. I dont think the difference will be very big whichever you choose.

    Shipping might be a great way to get Recombination bases with high(er) tier rolls. Even if most of the mods are uninteresting, the fact that they are High Tier makes them less likely to be chosen instead of the mod you actually want. Perhaps that is part of what is "missing" about recombination?
    I know most people focus mainly on shipping crops for currency, and ignore the gear, but that would make the other shipment types much more appealing perhaps?

  • @Flanktank2

    I've grown to enjoy the new warcries but think they have room for improvement, especially when you need to run multiple of them. First they should not exert travel skills by default, and invert the one warcry mastery to read "warcies can exert travel skills" instead of "warcries cannot exert travel skills".
    Additionally, I think auto-exertion should have an active component. It should reserve 10% mana per linked warcry, and when you cast the active portion it will trigger all linked warcries; granting the buffs/exerts of each one based on nearby enemy power.

    I absolutely loved sentinel, and never even interacted with the recombinators. I was hopeful they would add sentinels to the game, but this route was fine.
    The problem with them currently is that they... Suck? Sentinel had the passive tree thing that let you giga buff the sentinels, but it seems the sentinels you find in maps are as if you had no tree at all, which makes them quite terrible. Especially the red one. There's no way if you're clearing normally that it will tag an amount of monsters equal to even HALF of its total amount of charges, let alone the whole thing.
    If they change the sentinels to work as if you had that passive tree filled out, they would feel great.

It's basically free loot you can get consistently without much effort, not something you're supposed to be seeing insane loot from 24/7. There seem to be extreme diminishing returns on it as well. I've gotten better or similar returns sending 300-500k shipments vs people sending out ones worth millions.
    Mapping is also extremely gold intensive, but to me, it makes sense, since it's almost like having extra characters passively running constantly.
