Do NOT waste time trying to fix temple in order to make it core to path of exile 2

You probably spent a lot of hours to create the temple mechanic in poe 2.

And additional time to try and adjust it for this league.

However, I suggest you don't try and fix the temple in order to make it part of path of exile 2 core game.

At least for now. The next couple of months should be focused on the other stuff instead, you know the deal - endgame, pinnacle bosses, maybe improve atlas tree and existing core league specific content, as well as new classes/ascendancies/weapon types, and you are also working on act 5 so...

Try and 'keep things simple'.

The temple is very controversial. While some may love it and liked the way they could build it and farm a million divine's and even find mirrors cause the temple scale of currency drops and what not is so goddamn stupid.

But a lot of players don't like it, or at least don't like parts of it, especially the part where it messes up the economy as a whole.

Anyways, you can add temple later, maybe you will create an improved version of it for a league in the future, maybe after path of exile 2 has released.

But for now, I don't recommend adding it to the game and waste more time on it.

It's an easy fix. More crystals, more lock drops, (much) less effectiveness.

Its core. There is even a temple mtx tracker.

I love the temple.

I think they'll end up removing currency drops from the temple altogether, or making it so rare that it practically won't drop at all. The rarity modifier and everything else will be removed as well, and the temple itself will be left only as a generator of special currency, like double corrupt or unique items. In general, it will be equated to all other activities where they hunt for specific things and not for raw currency.

But overall, yes, this temple was a big mistake, in the sense that it will accustom people to receiving a lot of currency, and to the fact that everyone has become rich on everything. I can already see people whining in the next league, how they will complain that it is impossible to play because nothing drops and that they will never play POE2 again because they were greatly spoiled by the temple and they simply got used to it. In online game development, it is always like this: it is always easier to add something than to remove it, because removing it later will be MUCH more painful for the players, especially if everyone is used to it.
