Improvements to the Fate of the Vaal League
" It's really presumptuous of you to tell everyone what the league is about. For you the league might be about the druid; that doesn't mean it is for everyone else. Each player plays the game the way they want. It's one hallmark of PoE that you have a plethora of possibilities to choose from. And even IF the league is about the druid, it doesn't change the fact that the league mechanic is one of the worst in GGG history. I really struggle to think about any mechanic more unfun than this slob. The rooms are uninteresting, the interaction between them is nonexistent, and it's stupid, especially for builds without instant screen clear to hunt for every last mob in a room. The rewards are a really bad joke, the entering and exit are horrendous, and there's useless use of useless "workbenches." I don't have a problem with technical issues during a beta, but this league mechanic is ludicrous. One would think that after over a decade of experience in designing a league mechanic, they would have a basic understanding of how to evade making them suck hard. |

" Leagues are about league mechanics. If not, might as well play standard. And btw, an early access game, should never have leagues to begin with. They should focus on creating and testing new content. Accept feedback and fix shit. But no, they had to compete with D4 and LE and in the end, with themselves as poe1 greatly suffers from it too now. I don't believe for a moment that they playtested this temple in endgame. They can't have actually found this rewarding and say "that's great, let's give it to them, it's a great idea". If I am wrong and they did, then it means that this is how unrewarding they believe the game should be. I said the same when I first played Blood Mage on release. Greatest Descendancy ever. And speaking of ascendancy, I'd rather play ruthless in poe1. At least there I can get it from a mechanic designed for my level and not these horrific excuses of sadistic intent you designed. How boring and small.

Kinda disappointed.. I have been stuck inside just about every object at this point. My friend and I crashed 8 times in less than 2 hours of gamely last night. Half the time the league mechanics are just non accessible. No rewards or ability to interact with rewards.. can we go back to abyssal league?

I spent the entire weekend collecting 30 romms, run them up in 20-30 mins. As the result: a full stack of map mods in the temple, not a single surgical or incursion currency t3 rooms, loot - 3vaal and 5ex orbs. At my last run left me with only 1 empty cell before Atziri, but in the end of this run, half of the corridor leading to her collapsed, and the corridors to Shipocado and the key collapsed as well, saw Atziri only once for whole league. Dear GGG: screw ur temple, screw ur The Vision, screw ur Hate of Vaal league

What about multiplayer or party experience. The bugs around leaving to sell or coming back are atrocious. There seems to be an issue where beacons aren't counted correctly to party members, and no rewards for multi party running

The biggest problem that makes the league unplayable is the temple's completely stupid interface, which provides no information about the corridors and rooms. Why can't I rotate a room? Why can't create a corridor from a room blocking it? Reaching the queen is impossible because you can't create a way to her. 1 room can block it and you cant even make way through it with lot of corridors. Bullshit.
