There has been no definitive word on what the event will be, but they are looking at either Turmoil and Mayhem back to back events, or one long Flashback event. The POE Synthesis event is one month long, tentatively starting on the 10 th of May. Just like in Bestiary, when player retention is low, a new league event is rolled out. The enjoyment is nonexistent, and the profit margin just isn’t there for anyone except the top handful of crafters. The drop rates for useful gear is just so low that it isn’t enjoyable at all, even if you understand the system.įor those who don’t, it’s just a confusing system where you put three crappy items into the synthesizer and get one crappy item back out. This is running exclusively level 83 content. In all that time, I’ve only found about three exalts worth of fractured items, picking up and identifying every single valuable base and all jewelry. I’ve played a character to 100 so far, and four more to 90+, all doing normal mapping and nexus content whenever it’s available. I’m not at the point of ignoring them, like many players are, but I’m starting to feel like I should. That said, fractured items remain tedious at best. Personally, I find them quite enjoyable as well with the changes. Once you understand how to manipulate the nexus and the tiles, memories can be a very rewarding experience. I’ve tried to explain how it works now, but they had such a bad experience the first time around that they refuse to engage with it again in its current state, and I can’t entirely blame them. Anecdotally, I have lost two of the four good friends I had playing to nothing but annoyance with the league mechanic. Work that players who were already frustrated with the first iteration will not be wanting to put in. However, understanding how it works with all the changes takes a bit of work. Once you understand the tile system it’s fairly easy. Since then they have made many changes to the system, making it more player friendly and rewarding, but many of the players who left refuse to return.Ī large part of this is due to the difficulty of engaging with the Synthesis system. The first and foremost is that the current league content is confusing, and at launch it was very difficult to interact with. Without having any true numbers, it feels like the worst since Bestiary, easily. Synthesis has had one of the hardest player drop-off rates in a long time. Alongside the planned changes for next league, there’s a lot to look forward to. It is no surprise that this league’s player retention has been quite low, and the POE Synthesis event is meant to bring interest back up before the next league launches.
Last week Bex announced that there would be a one-month event to finish off the last month of Synthesis league.
