Path of Exile

The synthesis issue would be easily fixed by just not putting a cap on your pieces and letting them stack up by piece format. If I want to hoard 100s then use them all at once why not?

The decaying mechanic is just annoying for sure. I'm not sure why they feel the need to put in artificial difficulty like this., it just doesn't work sometimes and feels like they just add this shit to make things harder.

Ii hate timed stuff anyway, i don't find it very interesting.

Also this league is just a bit buggy.

I'm coming to the conclusion, the only way to fix it. is remove the decay mechanic entirely. At which point you remove the key aspect of the league content, and you are just left with a lesser version of Incursion.

Edit: actually no. What this league NEEDS is the standing stones, and shit, from Zana maps. Tag markers to expand safe zones, etc.

Fuck this league, I'm done with it until half a dozen patches or something

Building a new path, nexus portal back from blue circle before doing the memory modifier node. Take my nexus portal after emptying inventory and it shits me out to red circle because fucking reasons? Now that entire path that has been sitting there building modifiers forever is fucked because I can't replace this node I am on and it's gonna decay.

Easy solution to fix nexus shit. Every map you get has one charge. Placing a map activates that map so you don't have to run through to place shit and activate it to get it out of your inventory and worry about the bug cucking you out of your "planned" path with a random popup node.

It would be nice if you could put pieces that have entrances that are adjacent to a no-entrance piece. That would make this so much easier. Oh and the whole disconnect when trying to take the portal back to the map is kind of annoying.

Random crashes to desktop are really getting on my tits. Happens all the time in research, the nexus, and it's started to happen in delve too.

I thought the best way to go about the bridge building would be to save a path to the east say and then go around the other sides to get memory modifiers, then i noticed that the modifiers don't actually propagate the whole way even though stuff is connected. Some of the mods are crazy though like divine cards or even shaper/elder drops for exalt vendor trades. Makes me wonder what effect this will have on the economy.

And i agree there is so much stuff to do you never really get into the rythm of anything cause one league mechanic or another will either cap out or run out when you least want it so you always feel interrupted.

Apparently there is a max on memory modifiers.
200 modifiers across all islands.

It's because they have stats, so they can't really stack. They should have let you upgrade the amount you can hold or some shit though, 10 is too few considering it isn't guaranteed shit like Temple was with Incursion. Best way to do it I've found is to just replace everything at 1 charge. Plan whatever to "lock" the pieces and keep running until you find replacement for the crappy ones on the way then run that. It does waste pieces but seems more efficient than starting a route then fucking up half way because of a decaying area and getting nothing while also probably having more 1charge areas on the way now.

My solution would be to have the memories have NO stats until you place them on the board. I don't care what stats they have when you run them, I didn't even realize they went into your storage already modded. Put them in there unmodded, allow them to stack, and mod them randomly when you add them to your board. SOLVED.

it's a cool concept that was executed horribly, i stopped doing them entirely until they get fixed lol

The fact I can't place and confirm an entire path from the nexus and then run it all in one go is pretty crazy to me. This whole doing it one node at a time then getting randomly dicked on by a newly spawned island is just the worst. Also not being able to directly curate the nodes I own is stupid too - making me place it, activate it, leave, then delete it from the map is just needless crap. Let me just delete that shit from my storage bank so I can farm pieces with the connectors I need.

That is all fixable logistics stuff though. I'm actively ignoring the mechanic entirely until they patch it though - I've had quite enough getting randomly ported out of my path to a new location, or my portal failing, or the blue crap eating me instantly on activating a reward node. It's just nothing but frustration given the amount of time and planning it takes to create some decent paths, so I'll come back to it after some updates. Not like there is a shortage of other content to do right now.

Speaking of other content though, surprising surprise Betrayal is fucking awful like everyone said it was gonna be? The intel gains for safehouses is a complete joke given how rarely you encounter syndicate members now. I'm gonna be level 93 and in red maps before I see a single safehouse, and even when I do find one oh fucking boy I get a couple mediocre chests full of nerfed scarabs and shit? You can't even reliably control your board with this new setup as you'll inevitably get 2 syndicate members with detrimental choices on them from an encounter, so you either have to fuck your board or leave them alone and give up the rest of your encounters for that map? I'm really not sure what world GGG lives in that they think the rewards from safehouses are good enough to justify the abysmal intel gain and random assfuckings you take from ambushes.
