    Would be nice to have a prophecy that flips* the odds of a chromatic (ie: Considers the lowest Stat as the highest and the highest as the lowest)

    The state of Prophecy

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:15 AM PST

    In the manifesto about integrating prophecy to core (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1710256), GGG said this:

    We are also excited for Prophecy being in the core game for another reason. We want to make more content for it. When you add a new game element, it isn't always clear how much stuff you will get to make for it. We call this design space. Some games elements feel like they should offer a lot, but are limited in what you can make for it, others are deep wells of content. Prophecy had far more designed for it than we could have made in the time we had to make it. It is a deep well of interesting stories, fights and rewards.

    However, ever since the integration of prophecy, almost nothing was done with them. Sure, some new fated uniques were added to the game and the four main chains were changed so that they could mostly be done in maps but aside from that, very little was done and almost all the new content is ignored by prophecies.

    For example, aside from Iron commander, which was added in 3.4, no fated unique were added since 3.2.

    The last prophecies to drop unique items were added in 2.3. Since then nothing was added. I am talking about prophecies that will make you hunt down a specific rare monster and make them drop a unique specific unique. With the number of unique items that were added to the game, is it really that hard to add a few? This basically means that prophecies cannot drop any unique that were added since 2.4

    There is also 0 prophecies related to breach, perandus, abyss, essence, harbinger, legion and blight. As for Betrayal, delve, incursion and bestiary, while we do have the "Master seek help", no other prophecies really affect them.

    I really feel like this is a waste of a very modular and enjoyable system that was added to the game and almost forgotten. I'd like to suggest a few prophecies that could be added to the game. Some might be too powerful or might need to be made very rare in order to be added and some might be impossible but I figured that suggestions wouldn't hurt.

    General :

    • You will greatly enhance a flask (make a flask 20 qual with one orb)

    • You will greatly enhance a strongbox (make a strongbox 20 qual with 1 orb)

    • You will greatly enhance a gem (add 5/10% qual to a gem without being able to go above 20).

    • The next shrine you touch will last longer (add 50% duration to a shrine)

    • The next shrine you touch will also grant you an other random shrine effect

    Breach :

    • You will encounter a breach

    • You will fight a breachlord in your next breach

    • You will find a breachlord in your map (similar to the Beyond boss breach, the breachlord is running around the map with a few breach mob, maybe make him only drop 5 splinters instead of 10 and make it weighted so people can't realiably farm chayula that way).

    • You will encounter a giant hand in your next breach.

    Perandus

    • You will meet cadiro perandus

    • Cadiro will discount you his next item (make the next item cadiro shows you 33% cheaper).

    • You will find a coffer

    • You will find a catalogue

    • You will find an archive

    Abyss

    • Your next abyssal trove will be lucky (drop better loot)

    • You next abyssal trove will drop 4 abyssal jewels

    • You will encounter a lich in your map

    • You next depth will have a lich

    • You will find an abyssal depth

    Harbinger

    • You will find a pack or harbinger

    • One harbinger pack in the map will drop 1 valuable shard

    Essence

    • You will find a 4 essences monster

    • You will find a 5 essences monster

    • You will find a corrupted essence monster

    Legion

    • You will find a legion obelisk

    • You will find a legion general roaming in your map

    • You will find a legion hoard in your map

    • The map boss will drop a scarab

    • The map boss will drop an incubator

    Blight :

    • You will encounter cassia

    • You will encounter a blight boss in your next blight encounter

    • One of your blight chest will be lucky

    For delve, incursion, betrayal and bestiary, I don't really know how to add prophecies that wouldn't be abusable. The only way I can see if those prophecies could only be triggered in maps and only once per map. I don't think they would be balanced or fair, but suggesting some might pick your brains and you might be able to come up with better stuff.

    Delve :

    • You will find a single sulphite node in your map (not compatible with niko if he is already in the map)

    • Your next sulphite not will yield an extra 20% sulphite (once per map).

    • The map boss will drop a fossil

    • The map boss will drop a resonator

    • The map boss will drop an item with a delve mod

    Incursion :

    I really have nothing to suggest for this one. Maybe stuff that affects the temple like a prophecy that upgrade a random temple room when the temple is generated? Might even allow for lvl 4 rooms?

    Bestiary :

    • You will encounter a powerful beast (red beast).

    • The next beast you capture will give you 2 beasts (yellow only).

    • The next beast you capture will drop a best rare item with a bestiary mod

    • The next beast you capture will drop more loot (maybe valuable loot).

    Betrayal :

    • Your next encounter will at least have 2 betrayal members (once per map)

    • Your next encounter will drop more veiled items

    • Jun will allow you to reroll a veiled mod (don't know if it's even possible).

    Zana :

    • Zana will offer a unique map in your next encounter.

    So that's pretty much all I have to suggest. Like I said, some might be too powerful, abusable or not even possible, but I just wanted to show what I could come up with in a few minutes for a system that hasn't really been updated in years. Note that most of what I am suggesting is already possible in the current leagues. Many of the past leagues drops are already available outside of their content. I just wished prophecy would be brought up to par. It also wouldn't be too much trouble to add 2 or 3 new prophecies every new league, just like GGG is adding new unique and div cards at every release.

    Thank you for reading my rant, feedback and suggestions would be appreciated.

    [Discussion] The new atlas has kept me playing actively for longer than any league before

    Dear GGG, please make metamorph core.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 12:55 AM PST

    I was thinking about how much fun my friends and I are having with metamorph and was hoping you would make it core.

    Something along the lines of how bestiary, incursion and syndicate is introduced might be a nice way to introduce it in the campaign.

    Edit: /u/grautry made a great suggestion for an implementation here.

    Edit2: A lot of suggestions are along the line of "have map bosses drop organs and allow us to assemble in the lab" I have to agree with this, this also follows up with my original suggestion of introducing it in act 6 as this is where the pantheon comes into play.

    [Suggestion]Cap ignite/poison/bleed avoidance to 90% so we can use our skills when we have AW 8. Ty

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 02:39 AM PST

    We already have to hit, which means that in some cases, we already can't do reflect maps. Having a second mod brick a map is annoying. Or if you think that's no problem please add the following mod to the map affix pool: Monsters have a %chance to avoid minion damage 😈.

    Would it be against the rules to project/duplicate the buffs and debuffs at the bottom of the screen?

    Visual and sound improvement on using currency.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 05:24 AM PST

    Hello everyone! This league i got pretty rich so i decided to invest some currency into crafting, and it was so much fun. But one thing that bothered me the most was how unsatisfactory is to use exalts, annuls and other currency on items. You just get the same old sound effect, and most of the times you cant see right away what affix you got. My suggestion is to make some visual and sound effects when you use currency on item, the more valuable currency the better effect, you get the point.

    [Suggestion] Good Opportunity for Another Legacy League

    Posted: 04 Feb 2020 08:46 PM PST

    With the introduction of watchstones, we have the perfect opportunity to have another Legacy League where leaguestones could be socketed onto different regions of the map (with leaguestones being able to have sextants modifying them).

    Also, with another Legacy League, GGG has the potential to work more on bug fixes and technical issues since there is considerably less work involved with preparing such a league (as far as I know).
