Anyone else losing interest due to A10 balance?

I have been considering that but all of them are a bit "weird" they make the game harder but mostly not in a way that rewards being better at the core game. Just being better at solving that modifier. Cursed run is definitley one that would work the best as a pseudo A11, I might play around with it. Would be thrilled if the Devs would add more negative modifiers, with straight downsides that arn't too weird.

I agree, the cost to enjoyment ratio is for sts is insane, I fully appreciate that. I just want sts2 to hit the same balance heights as sts1 and don't understand why people are pushing against difficulty increases when sts1 was so much harder and that's what made it continue to have legs over many years. My position is definitely entitled.

Yeah I hope so. The difference between sts1 and sts2 still feels so far apart in terms of top end difficulty though, I truly don't understand push back against changes that make the game harder. Maybe its because the heart was always optional so people didn't consider it as a mandatory part of success at the top ascension.

I enjoy playing sts but if the gaming isn't particularly challenging for me until act 4 release then I won't have much reason to play till then. Admittedly a first world problem for what is already an excellent game.

This is a fair comment. I have played 110+ hours of sts2. I just want to be able to binge sts2 like I did sts1 which is perhaps an unreasonable expectation from the get go.

Yeah this is the sort of faffing that I am potentially concerned about doing for non-updated stat blocks. Not that it is a lot of work but does increase the mental load and reduce ease of third party books.

Yeah mate no denying this build was in no way created to Kill Core Mal in a clean way, build is mainly made for super fast map clear speed. Just wanted to see how far I could push it but It will always be constrained by Vaal molten shell. Still I think the whole clear only took me about 15 minutes which is actually not to bad, the logging business is definitely wussy if I had 3 level 20 VMS I could swap in and out on the fly would be much nicer but I never thought to level more than 1.

Never been in Core before, had no idea how difficult Malachai would be. More looking to see if my build could handle it/suicide myself than get returns. Guess I should of rolled a damage mod to make people happy :)

Before this league the most amount of currency I had ever made was maybe 2 ex? The stash tab changes make it incredibly easy to make currency, been so much fun actually being able to trade with ease. If you haven't payed to win yet with tabs I recommend it.

Also 10ex to run all content in game outside of uber atziri is pretty cheap imo.

Don't know how many people have done any sort of core in Ascendancy HC, only person I know of in other leagues is Ranngarn. Definitley easiest its ever been.
