Towers

I have mixed feelings about towers! While this new patch next week will be awesome for end game mapping I feel like this is now going to be going towards path of exile 1 direction!

These are 2 seperate games which should be different

The solution to fix a tower issue would be to have the tablets mods affect each area of the atlas ranging from tower to tower. So everything from A - B will be affected then so you don’t have to continuously farm 3-4 towers for only 15-20 maps to be affected

They're not going to go back to towers because basically no-one likes it and it creates perverse incentives to circle around a group of towers for hours before doing maps you actually want to do. Its a great change.

I didn't personally hate the tower system but I wasn't in love with it either.

This seems like something they could get out fast/easy while they work on what I assume will be further changes to endgame in 0.4

I don't like how GGG does everything but broadly speaking they have earned a LOT of my trust.
Game has vastly improved since 0.1

Horrible change, turning the game into Path of Trash 1.

is the only thing keeping poe2 from being poe1 the tower system?

one tower mechanic does not define path of exile 2. I dont care if its similar to poe1 or not as long as it works better.

My only remaining issue with the change is that we still have to use tablets and i don't like the word "tablet" ..they should change it to "scarab", it sounds way better, rolls out the tongue.

Also still having to roll tablets will be pain. And because they have custom affixes, you can't get them from the currency shop like you can scarabs in Poe1.

So that means having to go to someone's hideout and buy them in bulk while they scam you by putting a 1 divine one among 1 exalt ones.
