Please, GGG, for the next league forget that the top 0.1% of the players even exist
Rethinking the last few leagues I have the suspicion that a lot of the early league mechanic problems come from you trying to make the game hard for the top 0.1% players.
So maybe, just for one league, ignore these players. Forget that they even exist. Let's see how that is like and use the data to conclude further action to improve the game.
Edit: I just realized that I did not phrase this clear enough. I'm not talking about the game being hard in general. I am talking about the mechanics implemented especially to target the best of the best. Like all the proximity shields in blight that bricked the encounters (especially paired with the can't die auras) or the on death effects of delirium. My main point is that these mechanics punish the average players disproportionately more than the players they are intended for and thus make the game less enjoyable for the majority of people.

What I want more than anything right now is a member of the boss design team to stream themselves playing the Sirus encounter with commentary
I just don't understand how these things make it through testing and I desperately want to know how the people who designed this mess feel about it when they actually have to play the encounter themselves.

I love asking new to players to tell me about their builds when they are buying things. They are usually some of the most interesting people I interact with in this game.

Why are Talisman drops still part of the game?
Even the best rare talisman can't compete against an average amulet with an anointment.
I understand the Jorgin crafting table gamble but regular rare talismans that drop are always immediately vendored. Am I missing something here? Whenever I see the Talisman pop up during a delirium I get so so sad.

Why didn't GGG just lower the required splinters back down to 100?
At the start of Delirium, GGG increased the number of splinters needed for simulacrum threefold from what was shown in the preview of the league. Now, they've buffed the droprate of splinters in order to make players happier.
Now I just have more things to click on in a league with a core mechanic that makes me never want to stop and click on things. Why increase the splinter droprate when you could just make each splinter worth more?
Am I missing something here?

"we broke something performance wise in 3.10" no u did in 3.8 and it gets exponentially worse
Obv I'm neither an expert or blog writer but here's some thoughts:
Anyone at this point experienced 0fps shit show when opening a legion so my bet would be on this 3.8 patch note: "Normal monsters that spawn as part of a Rare monster's pack are now classified as minions of that monster, and gain one of the Rare monster's non-nemesis, non-aura modifiers..."
I imagine spawning hundreds of monsters and calculating decent number of mods for each pack instead of just a few rares would require more resources, it was noticeable in 3.8 but with lots of new stuff added to the game even the streamers experience huge dip downs. Same happens with proximity shield packs on blight or new conqueror boys such as drox, add delirium on top of that and there u have it, fucking core i9 struggling to render an isometric 3d videogame in year of 2020.
Tldr 3.7 legion league encounter and the game in general was smooth as butter which is frustrating considering ggg chose to (literally) slow the game down by unnecessary overtuning old stuff which not so well fits with amount of new stuff.

Daily Reminder: Master Missions CANNOT Naturally Spawn for Some Players
Problem:
Cannot spawn master missions, naturally (i.e. when you open a map, a low % chance, I think 10% of spawning a master). I have not seen Alva, Einhar, Niko, Zana or Jun in over 200 maps. I have completed the corresponding quest lines.

People assumed that the "FIX' was being addressed along side the Cassia bug. However, the Cassia bug is fixed and people still can't access masters in the wild (non-forced masters spawn). We can still access through daily missions, forced scarabs.
