Betrayal just isn't fun

- I rush into a research lab and kill the mobs super fast and still somehow it ends, as if all research got destroyed
- caravans spawn in super incovenient places and start moving into uncleared map area full of mobs
- intervention happens at the very start of map so you cleared nothing and have like 10 square meters of safe space to maneuver

And even when none of the above happens and everything goes well, it just... isn't fun. Not a single time did I walk away from an encounter and thought "that was enjoyable". It's imbalanced trash content where you can't see what's happening 90% of the time and can only hope to get out alive.

Oh, and fortification is just the stupidest design ever with the endlessly respawning trash in front of the gates.

Seriously, I'd rather play launch week Bestiary again than this crap. The game is great and I'm really enjoying delve content (I didn't play delve league), but Betrayal sucks.

I agree, the encounters just suck in my opinion as well. They are kind of like Abyss but even worse, there is so much visual clutter its hard to see where the actual bosses even are and they also look the same as all the trash mobs

- betrayal mobs are overpowered. Even when you can bath in rare mobs without dying, the betrayal mobs will get you. I walked out of the city, portal opened, I'm dead.
Glad I did not start in HC this league..

Yes, in the current state the betrayal encounters suck - even with the "nerf" some of them seem to be way more powerful then the maps boss.

Especially this fortification clusterfuck from my personal view is stupid - i currrently skip them, to be able to level.

The other encounters usually are not a bigger problem, but fort. you have this mass of random mobs around the fort, doors to open and beeing shot from inside the fort. ( ? ) that often even fucks you up on t10 maps with a quite good char ...

Don´t know how to solve this tbh, but @ggg : the current state is only suitable for kind of "hardcore" gamers, most casuals ( even with years experience like me ) are just annoyed.

Don´t know if it was a goal like "back to the roots" to make something only for the core-gamers?!

What a league when you need to skip the new content to progress..
Other leagues did add a challenge in between, but usually up to the player whether he was engaging it. Invasion was different but the fights where not harder then the act bosses.

You said it: it's annoying.

There are no points in running high tier maps for syndicates because the reward is shit. You make more $$ from syndicates by running low level zone like blood aqueduct. You can make 10 - 15ex from safe-house by running blood aqueduct.

I swear if Syndicates go core, I'm quitting this trash hahahahaha, you can build soo much defense to counter these Syndicates, but there's always 1 shots out of nowhere, at the most BS times. If anything the Syndicate members simply shouldn't gain all map mods, as they're already broken asf. On top of Gloomfang spawns and all the other adds that count toward the clusterf**k that's Betrayal encounters.

I'm glad I'm not the only one considering quitting PoE if betrayal comes core. I was kind of mildly looking forward to the betrayal content, but I was far more interested in the return of Delve and Incursion since my luck in RNG sucks ass and I just can't get the gear I need to get higher in progress.

Hell, I have trouble even getting the maps I need for Atlas progression let alone now requiring certain maps just for master dailies. I mean WTF? But now I cannot even map or do Zana missions without being ambused by Betrayal or running into a fortress or caravan that's blocking my path to get to the Zana mission objective.

It's nearly impossible to avoid the syndicate and the content that I, personally, want to do has become so rare that the joy I get from that content does not outweigh the sheer frustration of the syndicate constantly forcing me to play with it. Heck, I'm into T4 maps now and I have yet to encounter a single Labyrinth trial now that I think of it.

I love the scarabs. I love the expansion. Betrayal? I have those locked away in a hole since day 2.

Betrayal has been pretty easy for me. Simple to kill.

Issue for me has been lack of content... 120/159 maps and doing T9's. No way to reach challenging content in delve.

Bad rewards...

BORING BORING BORING....
