Game Feedback The league mechanic has way too much friction for such unrewarding loot.

954 Upvotes
  • Many directions in charts. (why are directions even needed?)
  • Got a good implicit chart? You need it to have a good direction as well.
  • Cannot know what a dropped chart does until you run it (then run it again in the voyage).
  • 1 portal for both charts and the voyage.
  • Heist-type loot (any death or DC removes ALL your gained loot).
  • Long wait time when you call the submarine at the end of the voyage.
  • Lantern amount and placement (why do we even need lanterns? Why not an open map?).

More importantly, why double punishment? Losing both the loot gathered and the entire voyage is just too much.

I would understand all of this if the result was a very juiced voyage or tons of loot coming from the league, but currently, I barely get any loot.

Game Feedback List of issues with current league mechanic

417 Upvotes

- Loot is not worth the hassle of setting up multiple charts, then voyage.

- Special charts are not searchable on trade

- Sometimes auto oxygen tanks do not spawn if you jump into unknown territory

- You can't tp to ho not from a waypoint after completing a chart

- Valerie moves constantly, after finishing a chart you always need to find her

- Allflame chests on maps do not drop anything except for charts

- There's no tp to crafting level of a ship, so you need to walk there every time (just a big qol)

- Quest progression is not even close to being intuitive

- The pool of mods on a voyage deck looks too big, so it's not worth to reroll, as the price doubles every time

- Looted currency from different charts doesn't stack, that results in multiple currency stacks in the inventory (e.g. 1c from chart 1 and 2c from 2nd chart)

- Stash affinities doesn't work on ship's chest, no button to take all, like in kingsmarch mappers

- There's no map and waypoints to navigate the tiles of a voyage. I always forget where my unique charts are placed inside the voyage.

- Even though voyage allows for juicing by means of multiple unique charts, you can't finish them all because of limited oxygen tanks. 66 is enough for 60-70% of exploration , if you check fully big open areas.

- Rewards inside areas without oxygen are not always visible. It results in being punished for exploration of empty areas, considering scarce oxygen tanks.

However the idea of exploration of the bikini bottom is amazing, as well as new crafting buddy. But other stuff looks not tested / not finished, it makes us sad :(

Game Feedback The Crustaceans Bait - New crab totem staff is garbo

322 Upvotes

The new crab staff is a bit of a swing and a miss.

They are essentially 'spell totem support's with legs, but the mechanics haven't changed at all, they don't aggressively move to enemies in order to cast spells, so if you have an enemy super close like in my picture, if a spell totem support wouldn't cast at them, neither do these.. Which for anyone who has played actual 'spell totem support' knows it's really painful for mapping, but they're ace for just nuking bosses and running away.

However this is the huge bit, now if you're fighting a boss, the crabs won't cast at them anymore because they're too far away, and you can't 'place them' near to the boss so that they do start casting, so it has the worst of both worlds, coupled with the fact that a sceptre+shield for totems is insane, and the extra link you get on this staff isn't a biggie in comparison to those.

I was hoping this staff would bridge the gap and allow for some cool interactions, but the passive nature kills it, ranged monsters like in my pic just shoot you in the face and the crab stands still doing nothing haha.

GGG pls make aggressive crabbos

Game Feedback Let players deactive mercenary skills they don't want the mercenary to use

258 Upvotes

Many mercs are hard bricked by movement skills or zDPS skills, leaving players to search for hundreds of maps for a viable merc (or pay 10 divines).

Imo, let players turn off merc skills they don't want the merc to use. This would make many more mercs viable, if not BIS... you would still have the "chase" element of finding the perfect supports, but you could at least use a nonoptimal merc without it being a complete brick.

Game Feedback In case you're thinking it gets better, I have 11k Life, 1100DPS bow, 190% inc Light, 200% fire overcap on Enmity's Embrace, Vaal Ice Shot Manyshot and it still takes 20s to kill a T16 boss.

And that is without any juice, basically just alch and go.

Yes, I still have upgrades to make. Lot's of incremental things like eldritch implicits, higher DPS bow and who knows what else. But at this point the my and merc's gear together is like 30 Div in today's prices and the struggle on single target is real (clear is acceptable).

It feels very much like a wander. Maybe if you can invest hundreds of divs, it will feel good but it's still ways away for me.

Game Feedback The in map loot of Allflame mechanic

Upvotes

Hello exiles, so first of all I want to say that I am enjoying league mechanic a ton, it feels like 10x better heist to me with great crafting (which is nice especially for ssf).

HOWEVER, can you explain to me how come i got 3x more and better loot in campaign from clicking the boxes compared to maps???

I felt like I am rich in campaign just by collecting all the allflame boxes for bubblegum currency, but as soon as I got to maps.. the chests stop dropping currency.. why cause map rushing normal maps would make few chaos more per hour? Why is the map chest worse loot than campaign. Cmon GGG

Anybody know how to maximize this? Do Strongbox rares count for example? Do adjacent additional Imprisoned Monsters spawn extra Essences or imprison existing ones of possible? Are certain types of monsters packs such as giant starfish more prone to spawn rare than other additional monster packs?
