just double checking, there is no cosmetic achievements like D4 and POE have right? no battle pass that i missed out on to unlock this or that i.e. go through 30 levels of unlocks to get these free cosmetics, titles and premium for more cosmetics and titles etc?
There arenât, no. Itâs also a bit of a devisive subject given you pay for the game & EHG arenât as greedy/obsessed with our wallets as Blizz.
i see. well a free cosmetic achievement reward system/track would be cool for doing the harbingers and beating the pinnacle. i know there is the âbragging rights is enoughâ group but after all these years I think cosmetics are cool. especially glowies.
Your assumptions are correct.
I like the game even though I feel it has quite a way to go and would like to give money here and there to support the endeavor but character customization in general and cosmetics are currently very lacking. I CERTAINLY play for other reasons. Would like to give more here and there for their effort but apparently they are too golden to need the financial help?
Look forward to character choice/prettymization but for now, I play this game soley for skill customization.
Yeah, Iâd be very surprised if something like that werenât added at some point, especially, IMO, similar to PoEâs original league achievements/mtx rather than the current battle pass.
Mostly we donât have this yet (and like wonât until 1.5) because the devs arenât adding âcycle mechanicsâ. Theyâre adding core mechanics. So currently cycle and legacy are the exact same, other than leaderboards and fresh start.
Once they finish adding all the core mechanics to the game, they will likely start doing cycle-exclusive content, even if they donât know what they want for that yet (thatâs what Mike has said so far, anyway).
Yes, Thereâs bragging right, which is fine.
1-time MTX for example to beat specific content is nice.
Also for leaderboards, fine.
Anything else besides competition specific rewards are a hard ânoâ for me, for example the challenges during leagues which Path of Exile gives are something I utterly detest. Theyâre not achievable for someone with low amounts of time for âwhateverâ reason, no matter how dedicated they are to the game. So it either enforces them to ignore those or put unhealthy amounts of time they canât afford into the game.
Not my thing, active negative point, much like any other times digital content thatâs only available for a limited time, itâs digital⌠thereâs no reason for limited availability unless itâs a specific functionality to reproduce scarcity which directly benefits the customers and not the developers to do so.
well definitely check out the new POE league because the weapon and back attachment achievements appear to be the first 10 -15 achievements. and there isnât any more achievements. Yes i know what you mean in all the other leagues POE would backload the cosmetics onto the hardest things in the world like âkill 500 uber mages while on fire and juggling 3 other types of blah blah blahâ or kill uber maiven without getting hit or hard crap like that hahah.
But this league they dont appear to be offering armor cosmetics, seems like weapon will cosmetics and the good stuff is at the front end and the stuff like the base/housing stuff is on the back end.
so give it a try hopefully it will be easy to get the weap and back attachment in the first 10-15 achievements which are easier to get
I generally dislike âseasonal rewardsâ and the likes. Same with daily logins, weekly logins, daily quests, weekly quests and so on.
Thereâs a reason why of all places in the world china actually moves along to forbid those⌠âtheâ country which is massive in those business practices. I dislike practices which basically enforce FOMO as much as possible.
But yes, the decent ones being more front-loaded is already a good start⌠but why have them limited anyway? GGG could just create more and more challenges as time progresses and allow people to unlock those things⌠no need to tie it to a limited time, same with supporter packs or core packs, theyâre just a bad marketing practice in my eye (for the customer, for GGG theyâre 100% absolutely amazing).
And Iâm definitely going to try the new league there given the massive changes, I want to compare Last Epoch and upsides/downsides properly with the new state after all
