Charan was right /poeg/ was right by the laws of transubstantiation Poeg is Charan

I've never had so much fun sucked out of a league as when I was throwing 5 nets to capture a stupid rare rhoa, and with 10s downtime in between
That's when I realized, I wouldn't play this league past the 24 challenge mtx and even THAT is going to be a slog
Ayden Garcia
>tfw already planned to ignore the league mechanic as soon as it was announced Why did you losers get your hopes up? It was obviously going to be terrible.
Michael Watson
Honestly I'm just killing the rares at this point. Fuck this hobo with his nets.
Carson Watson
Remember to not capture the beasts and instead treat this as a glorified Invasion league.
Colton Wilson
So it's standard with a few annoying essence mobs per area...? and you're okay with that...?
William Edwards
So basically no reason to play past a week or two, until you have your desired challenges done.
Gabriel Richardson
What do you think it is like inside Kitava?
James Gonzalez
Just want to give a huge shoutout to everyone at GGG for producing yet another fantastic league. Ascendancy reworks, 3 new awesome skill gems, and a brilliantly unique league mechanic, and to think all of this was accomplished in only 12 weeks!
I'm seeing quite a bit of complaints about the new league, but i must say im having a blast and so far think its a better launch than abyss. I can see myself getting absolutely lost in all the new recipes, spending hours upon hours just reading over all of them and thinking of all the possibilities, and then going out into the world and capturing all the beasts needed to craft these powerful items. It really adds a fresh element to the game, and is a much needed addition for SSF players such as myself.
Anyway, enough from me, i just couldn't help but share my excitement for this league, and my appreciation for GGG and everything they do for us. You guys rock!
Happy hunting, exiles.
Jeremiah Walker
Who are these people? Why do they do these things?
Caleb Morales
Yeah think I'm going to try out volatile dead, now real question is what ascendancy.

Same here. But yeah, it's the same bunch of 12 year old goobergabers who bitch about everything, because they confuse being a bitch with being mature.

So be it, I didn't escape trickster in my ED days won't escape it now (not that I mind trickster is dope).

Lucas Rivera
Clear speed meta is the new Jew; everyone blames it for the current state of the game. The fact of the matter is, playing a clear speed build isn’t a choice, it’s simply been the most optimal way to play the game until now. When the community and the game itself has been actively encouraging fast gameplay for years, don’t be surprised when the majority gets pissed that you literally put a brick wall in front of them.
Cooper Barnes
They burn buyer's remorse to fuel denial.
These people have such a twisted view of reality that they come to believe that anything which is ridiculed in any form is an underdog which needs to be defended, and they get a big ol' dose of oxytocin, seasoned with copious quantities of endorphins when they stand up to 'the man' who is trying to put others down. Those happy brain chemicals keep them completely blind to the state that they've reduced themselves to, mindlessly tonguebathing their chosen idol without any ability to be critical of it's flaws, even subjectively.
They're basically abused housewives.
Samuel Anderson
My Dual-Hornets-Nest Trickster might not be as starter-friendly as I thought. Crafted myself a decent lead-sprinkler. Should I start a new char with that one instead? I also always wanted to try a scion, maybe spectral buzzsaw
Tyler Hughes
Trickster is even more dope now.
Carter Smith
How long do you guys think it will take for GGG to acknowledge how bad this league is?
Tyler Robinson
reddit hates this league that means im going to enjoy it even if i dont
Jonathan Cox
Never. GGG believes they can do no wrong. They said they were happy with PVP season participation when 8 people were playing it, just before canning it. Every league is the best league ever.
Gavin White
>there are actually people who must compulsively attribute any disagreement someone might have with them to mental instabilities and sickness. They cannot accept that anyone might enjoy things they dont enjoy, they MUST see the world with themselves as the only mentally sane person.
Jack Richardson
all GGG needed to do was make it so the game automatically counts up monsters you've killed, but no lets make it so you have to use this stupid net mechanism to count them and you have to run off to some new area to do some stupid slow crafting
Colton Long

Get it, because it supports cold AND fire spells. Frost and INferno. Frostferno
Amazing
Oliver Rogers
I hadn't even considered that.
Any way to convert the lightning to cold, so you can go avatar of fire and turn it into FIRE HIT?
Cooper Martinez
im done anyone want my gear on bhc got like 3c and 5 fuses
Dominic Ward
When /poeg/ and reddit agree, the situation is bleak
When the streamers agree with /poeg/ and reddit, it's time for GGG Damage Control Team to scrap their schedules for the next week
Logan Sanders
i had more fun dumbposting on poeg in the days leading up to this league and making shitty builds than i did in playing this for 2 hours. this sucks man
Christopher Cruz
They're probably planning to wait until people have been testing the capture mechanics properly in maps and the general semi-autistic half-casual but full nolife crowd (99% of the posters on reddit and here, including me) forms an informed opinion to the degree it's capable of. Wouldn't expect any big or fundamental changes until then.
Michael Ramirez
It's gonna be a messy fucking week and a half.
Leo Ward
Nothing is changing. Holy fuck even Harbringer was better.
Wyatt Brown
You can use a Call of the Brotherhood for 90% conversion.
Mason Rivera
if I ignore this gay ass bestiary stuff is the game playable at least?
Lucas Garcia
harbinger was fun because at least the monster density was increased with all the spam the harbingers made. this league is just a worse version of nemesis
David Lee
>muh animals
Jayden Gomez
>if you die in maps your map instance crashed and you can't go back you hardcucks must love this one.
Evan Bell
It's like someone said, novelty invasion. The harder mobs are decently fun to fight at least on undergeared league-starters while leveling. Capturing is ass.
Brandon Anderson
Two retards agreeing doesn't make either one of them right For the second time in a row I'm on GGG's side with the league content, it's fucking fine and shouldn't be nerfed for the sake of shitters
Lincoln Ward
What was the # for global chat again? I don't want to feel so lonely.
Isaiah Stewart
so basically work towards maps and just kind of hope they unfuck capturing?
I don't even know what kind of build I want to do. I want to maybe do Shield Toss
Ayden Lopez
Nobody wants anything to be nerfed. There doesn't seem to be any opinion at all about difficulty, in fact.
People just want the mechanics to not be complete fucking trash.
Grayson Lewis
>hey I'm going to make a Spectral Shield build, that sounds like fu-
>requires a minimum of 5 exalts for a decent armor base
this is just Standard league too, it will be even worse in Bestiary for the first couple weeks
Ian Cruz
Making it easier to capture monsters is in fact nerfing it It will allow shit players to do what they previously could not, which is to say, participate in content
Nathan Gonzalez
Depending on build, basically. If your build is not cancer for it it should be okay-ish if you just use proper level or better nets. Give it a try, can get some nice leveling items.
Henry Smith
Yep. >2400 Armor shield is only 320-480 added Phys on a skill with inherently weak clear
Parker Kelly
>Defending twits who make retarded buttmad posts on Veeky Forums
Chase Rogers
The difference between a 2200 armor shield and a 2800 armor shield is over 60k DPS once you convert all the damage to fire or cold, m8
if you can't afford the high-end shields then you are fucked
Andrew Ward
Shit players=everyone with builds I don’t like
Connor White
How about making the fights insanely hard but the nets something other than cancer?
Nolan Kelly
Frignite is back on the menu lads
Cooper Martinez
Step 1: Remove nets Step 2: Remove basic Rares, Blues, and Whites from the equation Step 3: Powerful Beasts you defeat are automatically captured by Einhar
Isaiah Foster
Shit players = everyone with shit builds Fine enough but why waste the devtime on shitters when they could be actually doing something
Jacob Davis
Keep the nets Remove vorici mechanics (and vorici himself) Fixed
Jayden Edwards
Okay, so I just had a REALLY weird idea:
Lead Sprinkler Ancestral Warchief Chieftain?
How dumb is this idea?
Josiah Roberts

Zachary Thompson
You only like this league because it suits your playstyle. If there was a huge league where only totems and summoners can engage with the content, you’d be whining too. And this comes from someone who hates that playstyle. I can’t call them shit builds just because they’re automatic.
Cameron Ross
Whats everyone playing? all the new abilities fucking suck. I'm rerolling
Dominic Nelson
does the poet's pen skill do damage if you have ancestral bond?
Luis Thomas
>You only like this league because it suits your playstyle. How fucking profound. Isn't it striking that I like something that works well for me >If there was a huge league where only totems and summoners can engage with the content, you’d be whining too No, I would actually go totem or summoner because I like doing both of those things. I do in fact plan do to a dancing duo necro once I've gotten some gear for it
Logan Baker
Skelemancer
Parker Butler
I can think of cheaper ways do gain 27% damage
Joseph Flores
pls respond
Dominic Smith
Because at least if I was being utterly shitstomped by the league mobs rather than being frustrated with net mechanics being cancer with minions I might feel like there's some reason to play. As it stands, my planned build will have less and less POSSIBILITY of engagement with the league mechanics as gear and minion power gets better. So my options are to play Standard+: The League until next build, reroll now or just end the league.
Daniel Sanders
Then what’s your criteria for shit builds? I can understand if you call them shit players for failing to adapt, but anything that can do content somewhat efficiently isn’t a “shit build.”
Logan Wright
>there are actually people who are unable to just use the standard attack for beasts >these people have run the same cheap builds over and over again so many times they cannot think outside of "hold button down, everything dies"
Owen Scott
can someone please tell me what this giant fucking green box on poe.trade is and how to get rid of it
Angel Flores
What spectres do you guys level with? Sentinels > Heralds > Tuko Vanguards > Solar Guards?
Thomas Hill
>League mechanic requires you to use default attack for two minutes straight Fuck off
Oliver Smith

Jaxon Nelson
If a build can't do the content that you wanted it to do in the first place, it's shit It's a very plain and simple criteria You've got no reason to roll a build that cannot do content you want it to do, when you knew in advance how the mechanics would work. That is where the line for a shit player is drawn. Someone who understands what's happening but makes bad decisions anyway
Jaxson Jones
The despair of streamers who realize they have to play this shitty league for weeks to earn their living is a beautiful thing.
Noah Hernandez
>Slowdown league has huge negative reaction >That means breach 2.0 will be even more dense
Samuel Foster
If you need to use the standard attack for two minutes straight, there's no way the next strongest skill in your arsenal kills the beast in two hits You're talking out of your ass, honey, and everybody knows it.

>Steam population increases >Game population decreases OH NO NO NO NO NO *breathes in* AAAAAAH
Ryder Harris
Fair enough. I still think it’s bad design to make something that can’t be done by all builds. It’s okay if some builds can do some content faster and more efficient than others, but making it impossible for some builds to do a huge chunk of the game is just bad. Everything has to be beatable with enough time/currency investment, or else it’s just not good imo.
Cameron Hall
My build has no skill or spell bound that does any notable amount of damage, but the only way to stop doing damage is to unequip raise spectre to unsummon, then desecrating + resummoning when the damage is needed again. There is some control with the minion assist AI, but not enough to be useful to any reasonable degree here.
>when you knew in advance how the mechanics would work That's funny, the lead dev stated that you could net them all at 100% and then burst, which is not at all the case.
William Ross
Wait, are people suggesting that ARPGs have any degree of difficulty with which to feel superior over? Please expand your horizons immediately. These are dopamine machines with a sprinkle of frustration to simulate the accomplishment normally felt by working to meet goals, not a challenge to feel proud over. Finance degree, fellas, finance degree.
