In the process of trying to engage more with niche communities here on lemmy, I bring you the most fine and common post you will ever find.

As the tittle says I want to hear your thoughts, drops you had, or whatever you want about this first week of the league.

I will go first.

For an old but casual player like me, its has been a really great league start.

I tend to skip a few leagues. I don't remember such a smooth one. The campaign has been really smooth, maybe too smooth. Between the chest from the league and the socket color change it has been really easy to go through.

Also while i have read complaints about loot on the first days, for me voyages and charts had been great. Maybe it's because i don't juice maps too much. Both the charts and voyage reminds me of alch and go, you don't think, just put the chart and go blow things.

Bonus track: I had my first event in a lot of years of poe, i vendored a body chest while i was in the final part of crafting it. Luckily i'm so bad at it that it was trash by any standards, but it stung me a lot, it was MY trash.

This is probably my fault, I will explain.

I wrote in the op that i tend to skip leagues. Well, my friends tell me that the ones i skip are the good ones and the ones i play the bad ones. Just so you get an idea... I played Bestiary and Synthesis, skipped Expedition and Sentinel. Also played Kalandra but skipped Mirage... Every time I played a league Reddit exploded in how bad the league was lol.

Still, I'm enjoying it, coming back after a year has been really enjoyable, but my friends that play every league had a similar experience to you.

Although I'm surprised about the player retention, this felt like an easier league for casuals, lots of power creep, easier crafting, etc.

I have been enjoying voyages, but i don't try to make an efficient setup nor i engage with the tile mechanic..... I just make a circle or snake and go through it. Probably inefficient, but i don't want to engage with the tiles mechanics, way too tedious. Why would they re-introduce them after Synthesis push-back is a mystery to me. I may watch a guide to see how worth the tedium of fishing tiles and borders is, but for now, I pass.

Anyways, i will probably play for 2 months and then try poe2, which i haven't play since 0.1 launch also excited to try!
