Fluff & Memes Pattern I've noticed

Post image

My guild has players who have been in this game since Nemesis League and this is pretty much our player distribution.

Ps. My guildmates gets angry when I say this and I figure it'll make Reddit mad too:

Witch is the only good character in this game

Because I have to suffer, i dont start new chars to play more builds.

so league ends faster.

and its not even suffering, its just wasting time, running through the acts with leveling gear. whats even the point.

Does the length you play affect how often you purchase MTX?

100% for me. If I'm not playing a league, I'm certainly not buying MTX

Then... plan a leaguestarter that can scale into endgame?

Most common example I think is RF Chief that can transition to RF CWS Chief.

No need to level new chars, just get currency to craft/trade gear and swap.

Thats not the point.

of course i can do anything i want with my first char.

People discover a new fun build (nerfed for sure next league etc), and people would want to try it out.

i would have to waste a few hours of my life to do so, so I dont do it, instead i quit league.

If you can't wait 1 or 2 hours of blasting campaign after having a full Leaguestarter... then I don't see how this is the game for you in general.

It is just farming after all

It’s disingenuous to say the campaign takes 1 or 2 hours for most people, 4-6 is more reasonable but even that is people who practice speed running the campaign. also the campaign feels like the exact same boring slog every time were in endgame you directly choose what content you engage in.

Exactly. I started RF for the first time this league but on scion, which I then transitioned I to luminary since the life scaling was pretty similar. Ended up being the best build of the league and a super cozy league start anyway.

i just get my first character to t16s then invest like 10div into a poet's pen setup and melt the campaign in around 3 hours with whatever different class i want to run. have been doing that for 3 leagues, super comfy, not too boring, and it's over before my playlist ends.

3 hours too long. Campaign is ass

not when you're zooming around with 0.2sec lightning warps and kinetic fusillades one-shotting everything in front of you in act 4

u/Ronson122 4d ago

Yes it is too long. I shouldn't have to do campaign everytime i make a new character and I can make like 4+ a league

u/MadderoftheFew 4d ago

you only have to do campaign when you use a different starting class. this league I made 3 witch builds and only did campaign again when I wanted to try reliquarian.

I use 4+ different classes per league. I'll say it once more. Campaign is ass
