Flashback event mechanics should be core game of POE

At least people won't be left bored and out of the loop if they choose to stay in Standard rather than play the newest league.

This is the good kind of RNG.

Those mechanics are already a part of the core game. Get into the maps and enjoy them.

It's like asking for birthday parties everyday because it take so long till the next one...

Hello,
So I never had more fun

That's why they would newer make it core. PoE is not supposed to be fun, it is supposed to be painful a grind.

It's right in the name of the company, after all. :)

Also, if Standard was a permanent flashback event then I for one would probably rarely play in the leagues. Standard would be too fun.

I've had this very thought.

Harbinger currency will definitely deflate but as it still takes time to gather 20 shards for a single Harbinger and Ancient Orb the prices would probably be on par with Divines - which is still good. It's the Alchemy and Chaos Orbs that would be in the toilet. Then again, what's unique about PoE is that the currency is the very item used to craft better gear which could either:
A) Incentivize more crafted gear as Chaos and Alcs are cheaper permitting a more 'SSF' feel around your own crafted gear and/or
B) Increase the number of BiS items on the market making high end builds more affordable by reducing the cost of said items via a flooded market.

Honestly, I'd rather take the risk and add 1-3 random league mods to Standard per league duration.

..Or just make Harbinger and Perandus a part of Standard, problem solved.

Hello,
So I never had more fun than with flashback event incursion.
These mechanics of having different old league mods make game
a)more fun
b)leveling experience more pleasant
3)risk of boredom non existant

only downside is that economy would be different and maybe items would be cheaper
your thoughts??

Exactly, being attacked right out of lioneyes watch by blue and golden mobs was so intense and a great feeling. Gotta stay watchful all the time while playing instead of running for a few hours until stuff gets a bit dangerous.
Time well spent.

Economy could be a problem, maybe limit it to ssfhc (so it makes the most sense to have a hard and fun leveling process), i don't care, i also don't care for watching TV while playing, make playing the game interesting! :)

I like everything about Flashback, EXCEPT the Incursion sub-plot. It is introduced way too early in the game, right from the Mud Flats in Act 1. Even with leveling Uniques from my Guild's stash, it is ludicrous to leap into the crackhead Incursion timer before you level-up to full-bore Support Gem attack speed. I'd be fine with Alva showing up as early as Act 4, where Incursions could serve as an exciting distraction from an otherwise dreadful chore.

The people who do not like it , will not have got to maps regardless.

Wrong. I have 17 characters this league and only 2 never made it to maps and yet I hated flashback this time. Because it was tedious as hell to play and this time the balance of mods was way off. Too little to make it worth it and tedious enough whilst levelling that it just reminded me of all the utter shitty parts of those leagues and mods. Its great for a short while for a race. But no, not core game.
