IWannaPeonU: Performance this league had been absolutely abysmal on both the lag and performance side of things.

sasamitrovic8956: I honestly am Having a blast in this league . Love it .

mariomcp: Mark hinted that the next league will be more of an actual expansion and possibly replacing the 4 voidstone system. We desperately need that. Secrets of the Atlas itself felt more like a league mechanic than an endgame expansion.

noblehelium3794: Petal abilities were the only feature that was a flop, IMO. I'd like to see them removed and the loot buffed overall slightly.

plattbagarn: Mercs have been an insane blessing for redoing the campaign. Suddenly having a guy that's 20 levels higher than everything else is insane.

slyace1301: This was the first league i have finished 36/40 challanges. I could run anything that looks cool to me and i would still make insane money.

Erdbeerenserver: I agree with T17 layouts. We have this map system in place where you can chose the layouts you want to run. And then they said Naaah you will run the crappy T17 layouts or bust!

HousedHorse: I'm surprised about the player numbers. I started in PoE2 and this was my first PoE1 league (apart from leveling to 95 in Phrecia just for the skin). This league has me completely hooked. I would have thought more people would have been like me and come over from PoE2.

redbloodreaver4935: Can't wait to see Doryani's Finished Product

Adoptulous: big agree on mercenary league, ive never learned so much about PoE since my first couple of leagues

jonathanhawken: You didn't miss with a single build this league pal. I did all 3. What a fucking blast, Luckily I managed to get in early with FRoSS, perks of watching on a second monitor ;). That carried me to 1000d, just moved to stormcall, what a league. GG bro, hope the moving goes well.

Alligator6897: as someone that never plays poe with other people, i don't see mercs as being any more "power creep" than me simply asking a buddy to log in.

RiseAboveYou: i like your slogen. - " i still dont have a slogen"

tinecchi3648: I know it’s way to much power but the mercs are really a great addition.

No clue how you make it that it’s not so strong but it was so fun in ssf equipping my merc that had skitterbots and then dropping the new belt giving scorch for my snaking starter

TheDzen00: when you mentioned kaoms binding and corrupting, i went to do that and got wrath aura effect

maddyleaf: As for the reason I think I've kept playing for so long this time around, is honestly just because I missed the shit out of PoE.

cfourunderscore: About mercs and power creep: It's only power creep for SSF and non party players. This amount of power (and more, since you can put whatever auras on you want) was always available for party play in the leagues that most players play. Mercs didn't really raise the ceiling, they just brought the middle up for most players.

Valsedar: This league has been great and I have been having so much fun playing. It is so good to be back!

nimblybimblylike: Hoping mercs don't go core. Imagine the balance patches going forward with these things. The amount of cheese these things added was insane and it won't feel good if gear and skills are nerfed due to their use on mercs. The extra loot was pretty nice with the extra party size but it is kinda sad this is the replacement for the loot nerf in Kalandra. Cheese mechanics and more modifiers on loot on a small percentage of content doesn't seem sustainable. T17 map mods are "less annoying" with open layouts...still annoying. It would be nice if they actually scaled difficulty instead of adding cringe effects. T16.5s and T17s are fine aside from those but I can't get myself to consistently do them because those mods are just not fun. Corruption from last epoch is a better system imo and poe already has a system like this with delve. Now just apply the same concepts to maps. Risk scarabs adding difficulty is great but again the issue here is the more multplier on loot and too many mods that brick builds without the ability to mitigate instead of adding difficulty.

JayBigDadyCy: This has been a great league. I've taken 3 characters 90 . Usually I only do two ( one starter and then something an ramp and do everything with). Part of me wasn't sure if ever play this game like I did again. And here I am, hopelessly hooked to this game lol. Idk what it is but no other ARPG gets me like PoE1 does.

niwoh: I thought after 1 year of no PoE I was clean and almost skipped the league, but a buddy wanted to play the first day of the league together and I got hooked right back in immediately despite the game being borderline unplayable for the first week lol

Bangada: I am casual and for the first time the power some meta builds gave me, i was able to follow some currency strategy guides and currently on my way to 40/40 for only the second time since perandus league. I really have fun this league. I am still outrun by the economy but maybe by the end of league i am able to afford a mageblood.

Therd23: My first 2 weeks of the league were completely fucked by server issues. At some point I was able to do 2-3 maps in a row before getting kicked and it would stop basically around midnight EU time... I can't believe GGG let it go for so long.

tinecchi3648: The memory stuff where it buff a league mechanic if you get the option needs some work for sure.

That should be a hype moment but it feels really weird that I have to respect my entire tree to get something out of it

eshannumin: The layout thing is the only issue I have with the new memory paths. You have to do maps you didn't pick. They have to get off this kick of trying to tell us we have to run crappy layout maps.

bschs: This is my first league in PoE1, i never played before only played poe2 in the release and loved, had like 200 hours and decided to test PoE1, I LOVED everything except lots of DCs Low PErformance overall (poe 2 is fine in my pc) but everything else is perfect i'm 400h in right now i got a lil bored cuz i got all my objectives (get a juicy mageblood and a good build i'm playing ben_ trickster) and boy i boy this game is so much fun, not sure if i'll keep playing this league cuz theres nothing else in my goals to do but i'll certain play again in next league, oh i almost forgot, the worst part of poe 1 is no WASD, my wrists are sad tbh, but great game

TableForRambo: Honestly, your take on "T17s are bad because of layout, not modifiers" is exactly why we need map layout agency in PoE2. Being forced to run layouts that your build isn't suitable for feels like dogshit
