I'm just sick of this Syndicate stuff, it makes me want to log out. You can't avoid it.

Like let's just imagine that I'm in the mood to level up through mapping. I can't do that because random mobs jump me halfway through the map, and they're stronger than the bosses at the end of the map. It 100% changes the gameplay, I'm fucking CONSTANTLY getting sniped out by Syndicate members that I didn't even know were there.

Give us the fucking option to ignore this stuff. It shouldn't be forced on us. Absolutely ZERO content from the previous leagues were FORCED on us.

I didn't even really want to log in tonight, but I did, join a map, and within fucking ten seconds two Syndicate members pop up from absolutely no where and I have to kite them across the fucking map because even though I clear the Map tier I'm on easily, including the bosses, these Syndicate members are fucking twice as strong as everything else at that tier.

I just want to fucking relax and do some maps and try to hit level 90. I have more deaths on this fucking character than my FIRST TOON FOUR LEAGUES AGO.

Want to avoid Abysses? Don't step on them. Want to avoid Breaches? Don't step on them. Want to avoid Syndic--fuck you here's a charged arrow shot from two screens away that instagibs you.

I'm still wearing a tabula and 90 was easy. No armor like 5K life... Maybe build a jugg? Usually they can't even be killed until end game bosses.

You can avoid it. Just do NOT enter the research lab syndicate encounter when it spawns, and that is the one that will keep spawning from that point on no matter how many consecutive maps you open. easy peasy.

I'm doing the same, no more stupid one shots for me :)

This was the major failing of Bestiary too, imo.
I really hate intrusive leagues like that.
They reduce the number of viable builds so much.

I've been on both sides of the viability border this league already.
My starter build (ED, Contagion) sucked a lot of the time, making me hate the league.
The trapper I'm playing is happy to meet the syndicate, as nothing else currently poses a threat.

I wonder if turning of the Syndicate by putting it in research mode is intentional, or if that will be fixed.

lul. bet it doesn't annoy you when janus drops a map 5 tiers above the current one.

the only shitty part is not knowing what syndicate members you'll encounter in map. that would help you prepare and it's the only thing preventing me from saying gitgud.

Yep, best way to progress this league is to not play the league content.

It must be the builds. Jandus Perandus or whatever is the one that gives me trouble. All the others I kill in just seconds. There's only two places I get bound up. Research labs can get tight and the caravans move on but I lose the Syndicate member. I go back and forth but cannot find them. Otherwise I'm walking right through this. Granted, I think the highest map I have run is a T6.

~4,200HP
~1,500ES

Man, if Beyond became the next league, I can't even imagine the outrage for unavoidable league content.
