The settlers mechanic, once you know it, is pretty awesome for league starts. If they kept settlers as is and made it core people would love it.

What makes settlers awesome for league starts? And is it intrinsic to the mechanic itself? Or can it be integrated into a less shit mechanic?

The shipments and gambling work really, really well early for gearing and getting socketed stuff etc. Makes the initial gear progression curve way easier.

I can see that. I vaguely remember shipments being useful...I think I got my first 6L from it? I didn't really test out gambling, gold was pretty tight early on.

But neither of those are intrinsic to settlers. Hell, they had gambling in the previous kalguur league. If they can take that useful stuff and not attach it to Farmville, that'd be great.

I'd feel better about something like core Settlers if they went and jacked up the gold rewards for all the different activities that handed out basically zero.

This is actually a perfect time for baby's first SSF run. You already know the mechanics and the strats. Can play the game without relying on/complaining about trade.

I've been mowing through minor backlog games lately, and started to buy a couple again, so this event league comes along at a perfect time for my wallet!

Trying it in SSF sounded interesting at first, then I realized I would not have access to currency trade, so fuck that. That is the single best part of the league mechanic.

Am actually happy I won't be tempted to make a char for the refresh, don't want to do it all over again with nothing different aside from some random lantern bonus.

3.26 better be a banger though as it sounds like alot of ppl are pissed. I get the need for all hands on POE2 but didn't they say POE1 wouldn't be affected by the development?

If they cut the power rune requirements for the crafts or up the drop rate on them it'll be a lot more tempting. By the time I was looking at doing any of the really expensive enchants I was done and it would have just been a novelty.

This is what I'm waiting to hear about. I want to try some of those power rune builds but not paying 300 div

On the bright side, since the cause for the delay is more logistic type stuff, then I’m guessing they can expand the scope of early access in the meantime too, maybe have an extra act or 2 ready by december

You know what they say about "assume". In this case does guessing mean hopeing?

Hey I'm not judging, could see myself rolling a different build but it's a really good excuse to take a break for me. Wasn't playing much during the week but I was binging pretty hard on the weekends.

No private leagues is kind of fucked. We were going to do a guild found game, but now most of us probably just won't play as we definitely got our fill of the current season.

Maybe they'll make runes drop from lantern mods, that'd be pretty neat.

I might do settlers part 2 only enough to get the mystery box since I didn't finish many accomplishments. Trying to decide what would be semi quick, easy, get your main skill early and just go with what you pick up or craft. I mean it's only to lvl 50 or whatever.

Started looking for build guides and 90% are mines/totems/traps. I just can't play those, I find it boring as hell and it looks stupid.

Anyone got a good guide for Lightning Strike to follow as you level and progress into maps?
