Stopping at 6, Don't Want Your T-Shirt

"

when i think the first (and most following) atziri kill

The first atziri kill was done with a basic elemental buzzsaw build..

Also you mentioning the gloves again was silly. They are not a rare drop from uber atziri.

It is what it is because shipping 30.000 tshirts across the globe for free is not what you'd call a brilliant business idea.

Now, if the prizes were all digital we'd be in a different situation but that's a different discussion altogether.

I'll try and provide some constructive feedback :)

tl;dr league challenge conditions reward things you shouldn't like overcoming RNG gates or having other people carry you through stuff or copying someone's build/exploit or encouraging RMT. Keep your shirt, don't want it. Would use as a rag.

Nobody forces you to complete the challenges. They don't reward you with ing advantage... merely a t-shirt. You completed 6 challenges. That's pretty good I'd say :)

Regarding your suggested improvements:

"

(a) get to level 90 without using a single respec point in the passive tree

Not a bad suggestion, forces you to plan out your build properly.

"

(b) go the entire league without receiving any infractions on the forums

Do people struggle with that? I've been playing since closed beta and never had problems with the TOS. I don't believe this should be part of a challenge. Do you really want an incentive for people to be nice?

"

(c) kill Merciless Dominus solo, before level 60 and Atziri, before level 80 (solo)

This is a really strange suggestion, when you complained yourself that people can "buy" kills. You said you don't want to kill Atziri for the challenge, but suggest a challenge to kill her before hitting 80? I'm confused...

"

(d) Complete Merciless hard core without ever having a friendly aura on your character & (e) Complete league content with ZERO trades

These suggestions require you to solo the game. GGG has stated a few times that they encourage party play and player interaction. When they "nerfed" the auras, the explanation was that they wanted people to actually play "together" and synergise their skills and auras. Not sure if that wouldn't go against their principles...

That being said, I would actually quite like a 1 month "crafting" league with increased currency drops and trading disabled. But that's another topic.


Tl:Dr - sounds like you had a blast this season. Why complain and not remember the fun you had leveling 2 characters to their 90s ?

@op, understandable.

I am in a same situation for atziri, made a build to down here, but since you require AOE dps for healing phase, it's a bust. (on the up-side, i can facetank her all day 24/7 *yeay*)

Could prolly respec or rebuild, but since it then is no longer "my build", why bother at all.

Not that i am going for the challenges or the t-shirt, but i understand your situation.

Being stubborn bites you in the ass :').

Peace,

Atziri requires a well rounded build, AOE damage included. Your build can't clear trash mobs quickly? It sounds terrible, even just for mapping. Try again next league?

That's some cool assumptions bro.

My build can clear all content perfectly fine, i run constant 120%+ lvl 78 maps on it.

My only problem is the fact that the healing phase runs at atziri from 3 different angles, and my build is melee and limited in AOE nuke ability's (very small AOE).

Because of this, there is no way that i can kill the healing phase (all 3 lanes) at the same time.

Well actually i can, like i pointed out earlier, equip 2x doryani's (= trade) get desecrate + detonate dead ---> bam you just beat the healing phase with any build on a weapon slot.

But just like the OP, this would not be "my build" doing the challenge.

Some suggestions because you are SO bad at this GGG...

(a) get to level 90 without using a single respec point in the passive tree

Well those aren't fun either. There will be always a wall in the challenges, it costs money to do and ship those t shirts. You have to rework the reward if you really wanna do something different and if possible fun.

We're still farming for the Axe atm. (65 uber atziri kills in, no axe in sight)


An axe was sold in ambush recently for FOUR Mirrors.

65 kills... I don't know how to react on the whole thing...

Having it being sold for 4 mirrors, I'd say everything is going the right way, the way GGG wants.

I'm eager to see what kind of RNG-fest and economy improvements will the new leagues bring.

Same

Every league had RMT-able challenges. It's not a huge deal since the t-shirt is just that: a t-shirt. If they offered exclusive in-game items, the temptation to RMT would be bigger.

How "well" exclusive MTX rewards work was shown by the Atziri contest: most people who got one bought the kill. (You may remember the spreadsheet that someone had posted.)

GGG come up with some great stuff, but some design decisions just blow my mind.

I stopped reading at the second page, but I do have one thing to point out

OP it seems you would prefer all challenges to be completely solo based, no trade no friendly auras, and that is not the way GGG designed this game. You prefer a solo self found play style, and that's great, for you. I prefer mostly solo content with partying occaisionally and trading occaisionally. Others prefer to only play in parties and do a lot of trading. The challenges as they are, with the exception of being able to buy an Atziri kill, are designed to broad enough to accomodate a few different playstyles. GGG never intended this to be a 100% solo and self found game, so yes you will struggle to complete the challenges if you choose to play that way.
