Altar mechanic RNG is not sustainable to keep people in game the blitzers have already got them and left for the season!
I have played the new season since the start. I finished the season journey to 20 I did a Bazillian green zones to achieve that. All good happy with how long it took.
Then I tried every possible bit of advice with draught to get altars from the lost powers. I have tried hoarfrost a gazilion times on T4 I have tried level 80 pits all goose eggs.
Even the rootholds no results. The last season mechanic was slow just to slow me down. It had the advantage I was prepared to give the 300 paragon a go. I got to 285 and said bugger it even with a new expansion. I always do an alt till the last day. for the first time I said not worth my time. And stopped a month early. Slowing down someone with rng is poor game design. The season is heading in the direction for me to give it a few more days and end it even earlier than last time. then wait and see if next season is better. I come D4 because POE 2 has issues respecting people’s time. For all its good boss design it’s too slow to play more than once or twice.
Stop disrespecting your players time, blizzard you are not going to put down POE 2 and players are not stupid to not see you putting breaks on counterintuitive places in the game. The irony is if you left the levels to 100 you would not have had to put that slow season journey levelling on the walking abomination that was sposed to be a non expansion season journey and not had to legacy items last season.
