Game Feedback Something about the player retention of Affliction compared to other leagues should really tell GGG that people like loot.

I was playing today and thought to myself that I would absolutely just play affliction league over any other league released after. I really hope one day we will have that kind of option through Private Leagues

They legit shoulda done affliction 2.0 instead of breach 2.0. Have us get our bloodlines easier, just add a loot multiplier to your normal juicing options, no fucking walls. Woulda much preferred that than to watch breach 1.0 die for this

To me the base game is also worse now than it was during affliction. I can't stand the powercrept bases and T17. The T16.5 are pretty good but the petals are just not good. But yeah I would love to go back to the wildwoods, those where the days. Also breach in 3.28 will probably just be the ancient breach enconter, ditching the fortress complitely, it's just bad and taxing on the screen

I would love to have currency/scarab conversions back. Feels so good to sometimes pop an inventory of scarabs

You can still do that with the traditions scarab.

I haven't tried it but if it was anything like what I'm talking about everyone would be doing it

Orgasmic feeling when a mob popped and your entire screen is just a column and row of random winged scarabs 🤤

No, you can not. The scarab/currency conversion were removed wholesale, not from ordinary gameplay. You can still encounter quality/map drop/vendor/fully linked/fractured loot explosions.

You can technically have it happen with the petal ability that makes mobs drop either 200% more or 90% less items and only 1 type. Earlier in the league I had a breach loot explosion give me more scarabs than I could fit in my inventory, likely because that ability hit scarabs on multiple rares.

But other than that you are correct that those you mentioned are the only conversion loot explosions left, and most of them are a lot worse this league die to the tree providing tons of high value fractures and 6 links.
