it's bizarre that league bosses have been consistently so rare. i wouldn't mind the rewards being a little less impressive if i just had a snowballs chance in hell of getting to experience new content without buying a clear from a powergamer to get highly specific challenge completion

GGG calls it "aspirational content." But yeah it does suck to tie them into challenges.

Synthesis league bosses weren't that rare. You get one every 8 maps you do if you clear as many reward nodes as you can. Getting the boss you want to spawn... now that part is hard.

I think Delve gets away with being a lot more complicated than most leagues because of how when you make a choice the other options don't go away, so it doesn't feel bad if you do something that's not "optimal" according to a diagram on the internet

I think a greatly, greatly streamlined version of Synthesis would be ok in core. You see Cavas 3 times (because that's how these mechanics work now, I guess) and each encounter gives you a piece with 3 charges and is rare. The nexus map is considerably smaller and the reward nodes rotate, maybe determined by the number of times you see Cavas kind of like how Syndicate encounters 'turn'. Doing the 4 bosses results in a Cortex. On the crafting side, make considerably less synthesis tiers / make it chance based success rather than threshold / nerf the top tiers if they're too good this way. Maybe. It's doable, but it'll probably take three leagues of time to strip it down while working on other poo poo.

Remove the Nexus. 3 Cavas per map, each encounter gets you a piece. Once you hit 9 pieces, you get to run those 9, plus a reward node and a boss node. No tile placement or anything, just 9 linked fragments into reward node and boss node. Synthesised items can only have 1 inherent mod, picked from only fractured mods. Fractured items can still have 3 fractured mods. Remove the vast majority of garbage tier inherents and lock fractured mods at t1-t3.

Honestly I just can't believe that they're fine with the state of currency trading being hope you find a bot so you can actually complete a trade, you would assume that they'd be trying to ban those bots

Sure, if you quickly identify one of the bots it's an easy and painless transaction, it's that they're fine with this that confuses me

Red Red Blue posted:Sure, if you quickly identify one of the bots it's an easy and painless transaction, it's that they're fine with this that confuses me If you just skip the lowest like ten to twenty listings, you'll get a response almost immediately. Alternatively just message the first twenty listings and accept the first invite. Maps are a lot more frustrating because each of those people with the lowest listing have like twenty maps listed, but the same strategy applies.

Is trading really that bad at high levels of play? I'm curious because I've never experienced it: I play this game casually (or maybe a bit more than casually) and the only thing I find frustrating is how I can't split stacks while the trading window is open. I have had no problem buying currency (mostly chromes for chaos) and maps (white and yellow mostly). I sometimes have to ask 3-5 different people, but that's the only friction I've encountered.

It’s not bad it’s just not instant and you may have to spam trade requests every once in awhile. And do research which means check Poe ninja before you sell something. Rares are hard.

Trade is mostly fine including maps. Promoting the wiki, not making Betrayal account bound, not addressing the lack of player agency are much bigger issues.

Map trading is bad if you are dumb and try to buy them one at a time. Once I started bulk buying it got a lot smoother. For currency I don't really have issues. Just find someone who has a large stock and is not in the cheapest 20 or so listings and you usually get a response fairly quickly.

Last league I got to Maps for the first time. This league I got to Red Maps, which was my goal. I look forward to the next league where I can avoid the mistakes I made mapping and hit T15/16 and above. (Also, I hope the mechanic is more fun.

I finished all the red maps yesterday and am now working on completing all the maps to get the trophy. Unfortunately, I think this means I need to do Hall of Grandmasters (which I tried yesterday and OMG ffffffff) and the super expensive ones like Perandus' Manor. :/

Also NOBODY had a price listed for Hall of Grandmasters map so without doing any research (dumb) I likely greatly overpaid for it greatly since apparently everyone hates it. ... but on my last portal an exalted dropped so I didn't feel too bad about it anymore.

I've only tried with a handful of builds but the only one I beat it with was a cold DoT Occultist last league. Actually, my CoC Ice Nova+Frostbolt Assassin did all of it except the stupid Demi spider queen one which my Occultist tagged in and easily destroyed.

I have never done a league before, so this is my first one. I still suck pretty bad and haven't managed to get to red maps yet (currently stuck in a never ending loop of getting almost to level 85 then dying a whole bunch and losing all my exp).

Some of that requires trading with people and I just haven't done that at all in PoE yet.
