    I don't get why the lantern mechanic even exists, like I'm already buffing the monsters with map mods, why do I need to buff them further with little to no rewards? makes no sense.

      Yeah man, I agree. There is a reason why, according to Steam Charts, that in the past 30 days, there has been an average of 7k players. Yes, some players play straight off of the PoE launcher outside of Steam like I did for YEARS but I still believe its an accurate representation of the state of this league. I feel bad for new players man, there is a reason why player growth is stagnant and always around between 30-15k, give or take.
      EDIT: I want to add that I have been playing since 2013.

      Yup, I can usually do campaign no prob w/o dying and I scored a cool two deaths before beating Kitava this time. lol Granted, I was playing a totally unplanned build with self-found til maps. Usually, I can get away with that just fine, though...Till around late yellow maps when I really need to check out some guide tech to steer my build back toward something more viable. lol This time around I had weirdly opposite situation. During campaign it felt weakish, and somehow I must have made good decisions, because after I bought a little gear, I got to a point where I could mostly trivialize those Necro mods in rare white maps. There are still several I have to fear, since petrified blood makes any DoT especially dangerous. Things are definitely over-tuned by a LOT, though.

I know its free and all. But i payed 24€ for a game, not for staches only. LE has crap buyable items and POE has realy great ones i *would buy* just bc for my fun...but i can not stand this no skip & kinda forced staches buying. I am done with PoE at least until PoE2.

    I'm only just getting into the mapping portion of the game and some of those league mods are crazy, I've seen plenty of 20% element penetration and such. I usually try to resolve that by putting those mods on slow melee monsters. But it is certainly a lot more tedium for very little reward. The way you can do crafting is pretty great, but the mortuary is too small, and the UI for using it is really bad, search resets any time you click something else, can't ctrl-f, stuff like that.

    Relatable - I tried HCSSF for the first time this league outside of gauntlet (3k hour player) and I got to red maps with great care to adjust the lantern mobs every time.
    I had 20k arm/evasion, 60% spell suppression, 4k life, max res inc chaos.... Forgot to adjust the lantern once and walked into goatmen casters in a hallway with multi-proj and got instagibbed at level 89.
    I've only played since 3.16 but this is by far my least favourte league mechanic they've made - The part that should feel rewarding (grave crafting) feels hella clunky and even when I try use the corpses for mods I want it always gave me trash; Didnt use a single item.
    Sucks cause its probably a league where alot of people that havent played PoE like the look of PoE2, wanted to try the game and have walked in on the roughest league.

      This is late but if it's any testament to how good of a game poe still is, I'm a brand new player this league. And started way late. And honestly have no idea how to progress any further to be able to beat the pinnacle bosses. But I'm hooked man. I just ignore the mechanic entirely, the crafting, the lantern, the allflames unless it's the xp ones or valuable ones. And as a new player just the vast amount of stuff to learn and interact with and mechanics like blight as someone who grew up playing TD games all the time. I can't stop playing right now and am so ecstatic about poe 2. I can't compare it to other leagues but I know for a fact those lanterns have cost me boatloads of xp. Because there are some 8 mod corrupted t16 maps I breeze through then with the same mods a random white mob will just absolutely blast my ass to the shadow realm and I'm just like well that was a waste of a map and keep going lol. Just saying poe seems like such a well made and amazing game even at its worst it was able to make a huge fan out of me

    I think a cool fix would be to add a second column when looking through the lantern, that is rewards. So you choose which packs to add additional rewards to and which packs are more difficult. Then you add a bonus for packs that are more difficult and have better rewards, so it gives a reason to stack up packs instead of throwing rewards on easy packs.

    I never watched preview videos and simply thought Necropolis is somehow tied to Syndicate or maybe some minions/summoning mechanic. Or at least something tied to combat against dark arts.

    The league isn’t worth engaging in standard trade league either. To be honest I got to maps and completed T1 and got bored. One map was almost impossible to complete from the insane extra dmg being dished out from the mobs. Not sure if I am going to log back in yet or not.

    I like Necropolis so far, but agree the mechanic should be entirely optional, like Affliction Wildwoods were. Just make the Lantern Guy appear at the start of an area to tell you "the restless souls have to be dealt with" or something and we are good to go!
    I do like the control we have over what packs have what modifiers despite being a bit tedious and time-consuming, because in non-ruthless, it feels impactful enough to be worth it. Sucks that you can't blast as fast as usual though, unless you risk screwing up the mods ;)

    Kripp, you are an inspiration to me. But with this video, we have to agree that it exaggerated a lot on several points. I'm also a veteran, I have almost 8 thousand hours of gaming for a "normal" person, who doesn't live on streaming or spends the whole day on the computer. Every league starts out buggy, and we all know that. Nobody messes with the mechanics of the league in the first week even if it is "mandatory". The game is not focused on SSF, Ruthless or HC. These are challenges for you to "test" your knowledge in the game. Accept the fact that the game will never be favorable to those who accept these challenges.
    The game was better, we know that.
    But it doesn't justify saying that the game is "easier" or "more of everything". Few people know how the game actually works. And I'm not even talking about streamers or people who make a living making videos about the game. Most of these people play softcore trade league, which doesn't mean anything whether you understand the game or not. You drop an expensive item, that's it. You have the league in your hand.
    You used a lot of words in an unfortunate way in this video, think about it.

My character is the tankiest it has ever been, and I was able to do 99-100 deathless in juiced affliction maps last league. All week I have been feeling awful about the game, just not enjoying how much of a chore everything is and how I am forced to engage in the league mechanic, as well as fill stash tabs with corpses to the point where I can't have any other items.

    Ruthless HC here. I'm about 30 hours in, died twice already but it didn't occur to me until yesterday the league mechanic cannot be ignored. I just assumed if I don't click the large event icon it'll just use the default monster settings.
    In act3 lunaris temple the tit bitches stun locked me and I had to log out after about 20 seconds. I thought it was a bug because they weren't doing enough damage to me but 3 of them prevented me from moving, or casting, or doing anything whatsoever. That's when it occurred to me the league mechanic is forced on every map even during the campaign. I think it ruins the pace if I have to read the monster modifiers every time ;(

    Speedrunners have spent more hours practicing a 6 hour Eater/Exarch than the average player has put into the entire game. Strawmanning that feat to call the campaign easy is silly. This entire segment from 4:30 to 6:15 can basically summed up as you no longer being the biggest fish in the ocean. Ruthless is very clearly a smaller pond where you're still king, but one of the reasons the current iteration of Necropolis is universally disliked by people (yes, including a scTrade player like me) is because it reminds us that we're not as great at the game as we thought we were.
