[PoE] I tried Trial of the Ancestors and this happened... - Stream Highlights #756

How was there an extra drop from the final round chest?

the face when he said and having fun :( lmayo

"there is a world where i dont learn this information" - hahaha dedge

and having fun
............ yeah

23 divines for your soul gg

exactly what i said this mechanic is straight doo doo not matter how much good shit it pumps out, it still big doo doo

The mechanic strained my wrist and forced me to leave the league early..

Just wondering, you were using Exilence-next right? I thought the servers were off, does it just still work?

Rank 2000

Match start
4 giant turtle in escort he buff invulnerable to totem and his hp = x5 uber sirus

My inquis exa mine dps 170m deleted uber sirus 1s but turtle in rank 2000 1m hp drop 50% and all my totem destroy (last match)

Huh, is Exilence working again?

So the streamer cant handle people talking on his stream? Well stop streaming then ya baby

It was nice hearing the reasoning behind why you stopped the mechanic, not just giving in for "Stream content" or whatever, having fun >> pretty much anything else.
Also huge props to Bazuka, not only for his gigabrain moments as usual, but for being positive and supportive.

mechanic is just a bad combo of slow loot gains and a slow playing mechanic when I can simply blast maps and get loot while feeling like im actually doing something

RIP league mechanic

I like this new league mechanic i am at 1,9k rating rn and i have a blast :)

Wait Exilence is still a thing? Did I miss something? I thought it was shut down

Excilence not dead???

And he didn't even get to the ranking where even with millions of dps you deal little to no dmg and with a fully decked aura bot you get one shot rankings, gets so unfair and there is 0 way of going back on rankings aside from crating a new character, so you either do some cheesy build that doesnt kill but constantly harasses the enemy so they can't take your totems, or you accept defeat

"Log in dude"

Just started playing the game again after your vid pop up in my feed.

I forgot i subscribed to you long ago.

I hate this league and I'm one of the Lucky bastards that got the 3 doctor drops ... best drop in the game so far after 2k hours player and still hate this league .

400 rating 2 omen that 6 links fuck your luck.... 😂

Omg and you keep whining about not getting rewards later down the video. Dude hush your luck was way too much at the beginning

I reached rank 1200+, I got one unnatural instinct as big drops, a few winged scarabs and a few 3 div reward, 2 seven years bad luck. I roughly made about 30 div total in that grinding to rank 1200, what actually ruining my experience is a bug where when you destroy a totem, sometime the units will not die, and stay on the ground, even after reloading the zone with control click, and even after winning the tournament, I stacked 4 different unit that would stay alive even after their totem being destroy, and adding 4 more mobs that can, one shot you, interrupt you, and focus your totem litteraly at the very beginning because they are not bound to their totem like the others and can spawn on yours, is not a good bug, bug that they introduced in 3.22.0b Hotfix 4, WHICH WASN'T present before, and I can assure you that it wasn't, as I did not see while I grind to 1100 but the hotfix came after that

poor zooka :c

I there's a very simple way to fix the league mechanic for high ranking - allow players to buy things with favor that buff the player themselves, guaranteed block next attack items to stop one shots, increase damage for the rest of the tournament, fire additional proj, gain 1000 armor or just some stuff to buy with favor to buff the player. Maybe even make this a rpg aspect of the game where these types of items stay with you permanently inside the tournament halls and dont reset per tourny and you can upgrade them kinda like delve.

I got 3 nurses at around 400

I cant believe ive neglected my pride to a level that mr. Streamer has gotten more skillful in an autochess game than me. Life is not fair. Fuc

Bazooka reward is playing with Empy, what a good lad!

welcome to everyones else reality lol, 1div per hour like they want it

rip too bad poe blows these days

I really like how positive your attitude was, even though it was clear you weren't enjoying playing the mechanic. Good guy streamer

it's good that you just said you weren't feeling it and moved on

i tried the league i was not to in to it. but i enjoy watching everyone else have fun with it :)!

This makes me wonder how many omens of connection i've just ignored cos I only look at left side loot

thank u for ur service

Rewards are shit, gameplay gets boring pretty fast, need very specific build and playstyle to push it higher and worst of all its not shared between characters. I've interacted with the league mech for like maybe 2 hours total but it's just too... boring and bad..
sanctum on the other hand, pretty fun and prints money. its sanctum league for me, didn't get to play it much during sanctum cause i was playing rf so it was horrible + hated having to run 12 maps to continue. now that i can just buy sanctums and live in sanctum, its perfect.

just want to add on why specifically i don't like this mechanic: i'm playing wardloop and self hit damage from heartbound loops breaks totem channeling, so i literally can't engage with it and destroy totems, i'm instantly getting self stunned-out of it.

TotA sounds like it should be good and it isn't.

Hey Empy, I thought Exilence Next closed?? It was my favorite program and I HATE Poestack, has exilence next been taken over by someone else and still working? Please tell me yes

In this video, empy is ruined by group farm rewards lol.
Following guides for which units are best in which slot and which tribes provide best reward is nothing new with target farming a league mechanic... You'd rather just pick random units and put them in slots their skills are not matched for and hope for good rewards if not targetting the correct tribes? Cmon dood

What happen when a league get buffed and everyone at the same time is running it? Whatever the reward is decline in value. I got my +1 int a tiny bit too early, I paid 3 divs for it. Once the league got buffed, it almost instantly declined to 1 div. Now I found one and I couldn't sell it for 1 div. I waited and lowered the price to 0.9 to get it sold.

The type of reward do not matter, in Heist people had geared up to drop a ton of exalts. As a result, exalt for a day or two dropped to some ridiculous low of 25c per. So you'd find lots of exalts, but their value eroded. So even when the reward is the main trading currency, too much supply of it at once drop the value. It had created so much extra currency that everything was worthless. 10+ regrets per chaos, 10+ gcps per chaos, 10+ vaals per chaos, 3 sextants per chaos. 2-300 chisels per chaos. Chisels were less valuable than a scroll of wisdom.

All farming strats end up like that. Once too many do the same thing, whatever reward structure is in place, those rewards will become less valuable in total chaos value. Crucible was a league you didn't bother to really invest time into. I did, it was the most rewarding mechanic once you were doing it right. Adding trees on certain uniques and crafting various trees quickly through it. Easily 35 divs an hour running Forges, even just providing bases for others to work from. Mechanic was not popular, so those who did invest time doing it won big. This league people say it is rewarding, everyone does it, so the net profit decline. I do mechanics more often when people tell me it's no good... and because they claim it's not good, it is.

dead league mechanic yikes. I havent even touched it all league because its just so stupid. You see all the beta testers in Reddit showing how to do it efficiently then GGG patching/nerfing/'fixing' the solution and making it tedious. But then watching Empy with his squad and with his friend getting ZERO LOOT and ZERO PROGRESS on everyone else's ranking really shows how stupid this is.

Why cant we just get ultimatum back? Sentinel back?

This mechanic is like Heist in that lots of effort went in to making it a stand alone product. It just needs another 6months of testing to finally get it up to par considering Heist took them two launches.

I feel like this is one of those meachanics where you either hate it, or love it, and play it as an alternative way to play the game (just like heist)

I can't say that I am enjoying the league mechanic. It just isn't rewarding enough for the time commitment. I could map and get more loot and xp faster. I miss ultimatum...

Guys dont be unfair :P that league mechanic is just something different. If you place your Team correctly (items, positions and people) you dont need to do anything.
Im pretty new to this game and i gotta be honest. I made most profit with that league mechanic. I think about 25 Div. I wouldnt get that mich from Maps (maybe im just too slow or i dont have a clue how to Atlas and Juice correctly :)
Good Drops to all of u :)

This is one of those league mechanics that I feel like could be amazing if they just tweaked it. Like, they dont have to do any crazy changes to it.
My idea for this would be:
- being able to access all vendors with the "league mechanic button" if you are in the room, kinda like Heist.
- up the rewards on the lower end (basically not giving people 15 jewelers orbs but like something meatier)
- tweak the numbers on enemies and allies, cause the allies are only good at capturing and barely at fighting, and my god some enemies are overpowered as hell (maybe Id make all enemies less tanky as well, but maybe thats just me)

Still waiting to see if Empy can make Animate Wands viable now that wands have flat-damage bases? It does mean filling your inventory with wands over and over though... and the build has to sustain skill duration for a long time... but if anyone can make it work... it's this team, right?

SUPER FUN TO GET ONE SHOTED BY A IMMORTAL UNIQUE MOB
