Ambush / Invasion Leagues !

Cut throat league ?!? That would be insaaane.

I wonder what changes they will make to cut throat mode to make these leagues viable for months...





"To clarify, the Ambush and Invasion challenge leagues are not cut-throat. They have their own properties that we haven't announced yet."

Noob question but what's the difference between the various leagues? and what's the (dis)advantage of playing one over another?

Basically:
Standard = permanent care bear
Hardcore = permanent, death sends your character to standard

Then there are the 4 month challenge leagues. One is standard, one is hardcore. Hardcore deaths send you to the permanent standard. These reset every 4 months and have a different theme to make them more challenging and add special achievements that you can acquire.

No advantage/disadvantage really, just preference.

I figured reset was a given to starting over new. Also falls under preference.

Yeah basically standard and hardcore are always there. They're basically permnanet leagues (if you die in hardcore you go to standard).

Every 4 months they do two new fresh leagues (one softcore, one hardcore). They are completely clean, so no existing characters or items, and they usually have some sort of twist on their rules.

After the 4 month league ends, everything in those leagues gets dumped into standard or hardcore.

If you are a brand new player, absolutely no reason not to pick one of the 4 month leagues. The only reason anyone would every choose standard/hardcore would be to access all their acquired wealth, it'd be much easier to make a new guy with a ton of great currency and gear in the bank.

March 6th for the new leagues, right? Maybe I'll be sick of Rust by then.

I don't think it's known as for today.

I'm assuming if it's corrupted then it has some downside to it's overpowered benefits to even things out.

"After we'd discussed the new features, the guys took me on a two-person jaunt through the Mayan-ish dungeon (working title “Apex of Sacrifice) at the center of which lurks the terrifying Queen Atziri. Rogers admitted that the dungeon was designed to be impassable for all but the best players and said that the first hundred to get through it would get a special micro-transaction reward. (Neither Wilson nor Rogers were too specific about what this would be, but said it would be some kind of in-game status item.) From what I saw during the demo, those hundred players have their work cut out for them."

Im having second thoughts about my RoS prepurchase.

ive watched that 3 times now, the hype is real! i cant wait to play next season. Im debating what build i want to go. What are some thing people are rerolling this season? I think i might just go spec throw scion into something spell caster late game, best idea i have atm.

Im probably going to roll another ranger spec thrower/melee splasher and maybe work of a detonating dead build cause that vaal chain detonate dead looked so sick.

They still havnt revealed all of the new skill gems so something else might be to cool to pass up.

Hopefully I won't die 10 times this season so that I don't have any need at all to try RoS. Let's rock it boys.

I've been going back and forth with RoS knowing I'll be playing this(need to think of a build before the season starts).

I feel broken for liking d3 more than PoE. I know poe is better in just about every aspect of gameplay but I just cant play it much.

In that video, what was the purpose of showing new gear, but then having the player die over and over? That doesn't make me want to play, but maybe I misunderstood the purpose of the video.

They are trying to say that the new content is going to be challenging. Which is the main difference between poe and every pve game out there currently.

Here is a vid of chris wilson showing whats going to be in the new patch



The boxes in the softcore league look way more interesting than what we get in the hc league

I think the boxes look sick, but if I heard correctly, he said that in each area there can be a random boss spawn. They added 60 new bosses, so I think this should make up for the boxes, hopefully.
