Pretty sure they're focused on the expansion. Kinda what happened with perandus and the lab.Expansion looks good, but imo, the league looks terrible. Reskinned strong boxes and tiered chaos orb crafting doesn't appeal to me at all. I'll probably play, because why not, but I'll be about as casual as I am this league. Why can't we have something interesting like Beyond again?
The problem is all those require tier 7+ when only t5 drops (at most) and i'm sure it weighted random like everything else in PoE, so you're going to be stacking up like 125 t1s just to trade them up to a t7 for a single change at a mod. And, maybe I read it wrong, but it sounded like they work like alchs on white items and chaos on magic items.I honestly think Essence League sounds great, have you seen some of the crafting shenanigans people have already been theorycrafting on reddit?
Via level 8 master metamods you can literally craft a 4 essence item, or more relevantly alt spam a T1 affix then use master metamods to force on a synergistic T1 affix.
I foresee people like me actually being able to get ~900ES regalias in Essence, for example.
The +5% base crit in gloves mod from essences also should be very interesting for gimmicky builds - my favorite >_>
Its not dead, just adjustedRIP Essence League, we hardly knew ye: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1713551
I'm pretty sure one poor/bad league won't start PoE on the path to death. PoE has had bad leagues before (shrines anyone?). People always come back because it blows away every other ARPG out there right now. The Atlas will help retain players even if "crafting league" is a failure. I may even play some of my standard characters if I dislike the new league.With the lackluster league mechanic, no free uniques, and rumored CoC nerfs (possibly the only viable melee skill ask well: eq), I'm predicting this is going to be a huge failure of a league. It won't retain nearly the player base of Perandus, or even Prophecy. PoE is going to start the slope of dying. Reddit already wants to clear content slower, and I refuse to do D3 "it takes a party of 4 10 minutes to clear a single pack" end game. It's sad, really.
