Path of Exile

I really like the nexus, but don't think its a good fit in the game to go core. They need to do something like Disgaea 5 with the item world, as a means of manipulating items here, or crafting. The only downside is that they need to keep that RNG strong.

I'd love your UGS maps, and of course my dagger back Maybe your gloves if you have good ones. That's the only piece of gear I have that sucks (Well if you have 12 stage helm that might be nice too)

MTG can do it, why not PoE? Who cares if it's comparing apples to paper.

They can. I mean, there are going to be some shitty leagues. I think we'll see the foundation for new style leagues after the 4.0.0 launch. I really hope for a lot of big changes with 4.0.0 like around user interface improvements, and less clunky crap like the lack of auto-sort on inventory, etc etc. But they are most likely going to re-do a lot of mechanics.

They need to get rid of the extreme loot explosions, but they can't get rid of the speed. They put it in there, they are going to have to roll with it, too many people too used to it. They need to somehow flesh out trade to make it easier (not necessarily an auction house, but things like buying a lot of items in bulk, at once, etc).

I can think of a lot of great ideas on paper, implementation is tough. The only saving grace for synthesis was that Chris said at GDC was that the concept around synthesis was too rushed and they were generally unprepared for it. That was painfully obvious, but it's good on them for at least noticing it and hopefully they use that as a learning experience. I fear that this will go core to some degree though, but not like the current form. They might have things like memories that auto-build or something. Bestiary proved that they can say something wont go core, but it still does because at the end of the day, they don't want to throw all that work away.

I really hope the next league is baller though, and simple. My div card will go in the next league too, so I'm looking forward to seeing my mark on poe too!

They’re just making the game feel annoying. Lots to do is great, cockblocking all of it isn’t. Einhar appearing in my map isn’t a nice surprise, it’s fucking irritating because I want to run a safe house and it’s eating a Jun spawn. Or vise versa. Not to mention bullshit like unveiling, shitty rooms in temples, and getting syndicate memebers into branches that don’t suck. Without a bunch of different league mechanics all at once the bad rng smooths out a lot quicker. Getting bad rng on set ups is much worse when the time between safe houses, temples, delves etc. is longer.

To be fair, there's ways around this, for example, you can get 3 juns in a row by just putting a jun sextant on your map. They have said the masters that can appear in the map are truly equally random (if I recall) but I also find Einhar appearing way, way more than other masters. There's NO WAY that Einhar and Zana are equal odds.

The unveiling shit is awful. That's the new masters for me. They really need to flesh that out or otherwise have it carry through account-wide.

I’ll have to look into the sextant thing. I’ve only messed around with it and my experience was burning through sextants that sucked to try and get a mod I wanted making it fairly expensive to do. I admittedly don’t know a whole lot about them and how to min/max it effectively.

Yes, there's going to be a cost with it, certainly. The alternative is to always check the atlas and run maps with Jun on it whenever it appears.

I have ran 300+ EUGS all with 4 sextants and I have only hit masters once; they're too rare to be target farmable and the sextant cost could be more than using 3 scarabs--maybe not sulfite scarabs at current prices. For comparison, I've hit hunted traitors x5 during that time.

Yeah, it's rare for sure.
