I restarted a Boneshatter build, got through the first act; I just got back from a field trip. The changes to some of the unique bosses are trippy. Playing Hardcore would be interesting in the first Act.

I'm at act 9 with my scavenger, leveling as arma/crema and it's pretty fun now.

The act bosses are no joke, I've never played a gauntlet event and I was under the impression this one wasn't a gauntlet, but I guess it is!

edit - lol, I just looked at the event page again and it was this little note: "Campaign bosses, as well as some Pinnacles have also developed a few new mechanics for you to overcome."

well, I thought they meant they'd have an extra attack or two, not be the entire pool of unique monsters you fought in the whole act.

I was planning on playing but it started 10pm on a Thursday for me. Lost all interest starting late in a short league. Did not enjoy 3.27 either so I think it's a skip for now.

I'm having fun but goddamn are hive fortresses annoying in the campaign. The faster you're trying to get through ten acts the more in your way they are.

I gave up at act 4. Just did not feel it.

Absolution leveling felt pretty good though up to that point.

Glad I missed another broken economy.

Why do I always get Delirium and Ultimatum crap on these idols. I do not like running those. I have finally purged my set up of Delirium but not yet Ultimatum.

Also, I am running a modified Boneshatter set up since the ascendancies don't exactly jive (I need a reliable source of end charges) but at Tier 3 maps I am still running Sunder lol. Bleed is bleed, I suppose.

The fact that idols can't be crafted and you have to pick up and visually inspect every one is tedium to the extreme. I just wanna map bro. I wouldn't mind something like jewel slots in the atlas tree i think though as long as it's not instantly neccessary and they're craftable so i can alt spam them if i feel like it and hence don't have to loot every one.
Im sure the loot you get from idols once you maxed out a strat could be fun but the journey there is so much worse than having the atlas tree.

I thought i'd try and get into phrecia2 but idols + breach walls + the facts it's only a 3 week thing pretty quickly convinced me to not sweat this one. And ill be less burnt out and ready to go for next league instead.

If they just made the recombinator free just for idols, it would be 10000x better, because you could smash them together and try to gamble up good ones. I don't know what fucking moron decided it should cost a bajillion gold and dust.

It's an extreme delayed gratification mechanic on a three week psuedo event league.

Couple odd choices with this one. I'm having a decent time but it's entirely because I had been wanting to try the Herald and really didn't play the last Phrecia at all. if I wasn't all about the character I was piloting I'd have bailed the instant that second mystery box popped in to my inventory.
