Removing towers is a huge L

Towers terraforming the surrounding land in a huge area was extremely cool, map icons for different content made it fun to explore and work toward things you liked while you still had control over it. Like playing a roguelike.

Now towers are just vision with no real purpose. The lore gets sucked out of the game to appease a loud minority of streamers and their fans. Maps are made just like PoE1 now where you rush straight to the boss, kill it in 15 seconds and ignore everything else "because anything below T16 is a waste, I just want to get to endgame!" Now everyone can burn through the game and the endgame content even faster and move on to playing something else. What a tremendous reactionary mistake. You can tell due to the implementation they had no plan for this since all they did was take things while barely introducing anything new.

Genuinely less excited to log in and play anymore after patch. They really should have waited to make such a major change til 0.4. There's no more exploring the map and seeing what's beyond the fog, its now just "Make the map wherever you are, everything else is meaningless"

current players would tell you " any map not tripled towered is useless, just get triple towers "

This is the true root of the problem with POE in general. It has to be "worth it". No fun, no challenge, nothing but WORTH.

There's that one somewhat famous quote: "gamers will optimize the fun out of games". This one sums yp exactly what went wrong with POE.

Yeah let's ignore corrupted areas, super bosses areas, citadels, looking for maps you enjoy to do, etc since there's nothing to discover /s

Tbh I'm glad they are removing towers.

Unfortunately there will never be a situation where literally every is happy, it is what it is

I just want to run the content I want to run. Trying to set up triple towers was neat but turned into a slog. Being able to run triple tower maps form the get go is going to be so much nicer.

0.3.1 every Map now containing a Boss (to complete)

Next POE Players request: Remove the map, just entry in the boss fight i do not want move around to find the boss

Metashitters don't care about games being fun, just if it suits their own tism. See: Smash bros melee

People who whine and bitch for content removal like this are the same crowd who just blitz through the game to say they beat it then move on to consume some other game. They are parasites and don't care about longterm.

Or maybe you are the minority.
I'll let you decide on how loud you consider yourself.

I must be missing something. From what I saw in the reveal video, triple tower effects are no longer possible.

Before you could find three towers that overlayed, added three tablets to each, and then run nodes under the effect of 9 tablets. Pretty much every node I ran was under the effect of at least 6 tablets.

Now, you put three tablets in a node and that is it.

Sure, now you don't have to try to juice nodes because juicing nodes is now impossible.

It will be easier to run the same type of map over and over I guess but it will not be juiced.
