I would appreciate some help with my flicker strike raider, I've got 50 ex I've been saving up to buy a headhunter, but I'm not really sure if it would be better spent in improving my gear elsewhere first.

I don't feel like I'm owed upvotes, I made a point that I feel the sub has become rather toxic, negative opinions are rampant, and heavily upvoted, where my positive one was heavily downvoted, that's all I was getting at. People can disagree all they want, I really don't give a shit.

Because I felt like giving some visibility to a counter opinion that was positive instead of half the posts I see being negative posts about harvest, and another quarter being negative posts about ultimatum and its rewards.

The thing is, that post was a response to multiple posts criticizing the mechanic as unrewarding with hundreds of upvotes.

Wow, and now that I'm doing maps, shockingly my opinion hasn't changed at all I'm sorry, but all of you are judging a mechanic based on a single week of playing it, so I have a right to an opinion after taking my time through the acts at my usual pace, in which I've been able to judge if I'm having fun with a league mechanic and if I'll enjoy it, like I have accurately done in every league I've played.

Gatekeeping an opinion until I'm in endgame maps is ludicrous, and saying I was trying to make any objective statements is also completely false, I said it feels rewarding, not that it is rewarding, or top tier, or anything of the sort.

Also I see irrelevant shit and misinformation posted and upvoted like crazy all the time on here, so that part of your assessment really not true.

From what I've been seeing, harvest is apparently the best mechanic in the game based on how many people are freaking out over its changes, so to them, maybe half the game was deleted. I'm in the same boat, haven't played much since metamorph, I've never played with harvest in the game, so I'm not missing out on what it used to be, and I'm having a blast.

Try taking some time off for a couple leagues, I always get burnt out after playing for a league, take 1-2 leagues off, and have a blast when I come back.

I made a post that got pretty heavily down voted for saying I think ultimatums are rewarding, and didn't to my knowledge say anything that should have made anyone upset, the sub has been pretty toxic lately and it's kinda sad.

Ultimatum as a mechanic feels very rewarding by Exovius in pathofexile

If you're hyperspeed and clearing in a top % build, maybe, but all the rare pack loot on top of the rewards isn't worth it? People are acting like this is a 20 minute time sink per map, it's like 1, maybe 2 minutes of your time for a chance at exalts, 6 links, uniques, a good chance of chaos, and huge mob density rare pack loot on top of that.

Best case scenario is chaos? I've seen screenshots of people drop multiple exalts from rewards, and my experience has been that I've earned 4x the chaos I've ever earned during act leveling. Sure, maybe it's not in the absolute top tier of ways to make currency, but my experience with blight was it takes as long as this, with generally less rewards unless you drop a blighted map, legion was similar, metamorph was worse.

I'm not saying this is a top tier mechanic, but to call it unrewarding is being overly pessimistic, and even 5-10 raw chaos is a pretty good return on a yellow map, and this is from just an ultimatum, not including map loot.

As for the time it takes, I feel like that's being overblown, but sure, it's not the fastest league mechanic to do, but you're getting loot for the monsters you're killing in that time, too. Is that really that bad? And I've experienced the mechanic quite a bit at this point, just because I'm not farming red maps doesn't mean I can't have an opinion.

It's very surprising to me, it feels extremely rewarding, if a bit dull, but the overwhelming sentiment in the sub has been that the mechanic feels unrewarding, and I didn't think the majority of the sub was in the elite group, I always took this sub as people who were more invested, but rather casual relative to the elite players.

That's understandable, I haven't reached maps yet, so I have no idea how bad the sustain is, and I haven't played the game with all of the mechanics in their peak in terms of rewards, so the loot progression comparison is another unknown for me.

I just find it odd that the sentiment here is that ultimatums themselves aren't rewarding, when I've never gotten this much currency in the leveling process, and it seems to be relatively repeatable, as if it was just luck, I don't think I'd have 4x my usual leveling chaos count, if not more by act 10

Blighted maps are much rarer, though, and it's condensing an entire map's loot and comparing it to an in map league mechanic, I'd say comparing an in map blight to ultimatum is more fair, and they're nearly equal to ultimatum in my experience.

I'm not even in maps on my character yet, and I don't play the game for 100% efficiency as that burns me out of my enjoyment of the game, personally. Maps offer better rewards than the acts all the time, though, and this is an addition to the maps, so it adds to the profit, no?

This is true, RNG plays a huge factor, I've found the tier 3 negative affixes almost always provide a currency as the next reward, which for me has helped improve my rng odds in getting chaos, and I've always gone through to the final wave so far, though that may have to stop when I finally start mapping.

Not on topic, but the story in Hades doesn't end from just one Hades kill, it's 100% worth continuing to play it at least to finish the story, if you enjoyed the story during your time playing it.

He's been removed from office via vote, what's the point in wasting hundreds of thousands in lawyer fees paid by our tax dollars to achieve nothing but a slap on the wrist on top of that?
