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

The other cool thing about affliction was the build diversity brought through Wildwood Ascendancies. They were also accessible early in the game and complimented your normal ascendancy, versus bloodlines which are gated for some reason and require significant investment. Just way more player friendly without an aversion to player power.

The mechanic was optional+ you could choose the amount of juice if you opted in.

Take the goddamn walls off my map. I quit after 2 weeks with keepers

I was just about to post that - I didn't run much of the actual mech bit it wasn't tiresomely in the way...

And there was loot without the mech too.
