Fate of the Vaal Feedback

Lets start with the good:
- The druid is amazing, I love all its gameplay no arguments there.
- I really like the new crafting tables you get from completing some of the rooms within the temple, I think they are a great way to teach and encourage players to engage with the crafting system especially since they can't trade until act 4 and get access to their hideouts.

Not so good:
- I think the fundamental flaw with the fate of the vaal temple mechanic is that it breaks the flow of doing what you were doing, either progressing the campaign or map and that's generally bad. ARPG games generally thrive and keeping your pace up, spending time in town or anything that is not providing good xp or loot is not a good use of your time. I don't mind the temple mechanic itself but having the portal show up in world and want you to stop what you were doing to go spend 10-30 minutes doing this side content that does not progress the campaign or map is too disrupting. The temple mechanic is more like one of the trials and should really be treated as such. Where you choose when you want to go and access/run it.

Here is what I would suggest changing to improve the flow of the content:
- Throughout the campaign keep the vaal circles but don't bother introducing the temple until after act 3 at minimum, maybe in act 4 or the interludes. Offer it up kind of like you do the trials where its a place doriani takes you to explore with alva. Now I said to keep the Vaal circles instead of dropping a piece of currency or charging the portal I would like to see a random one of the new crafting tables rise up out of it, this will keep up the same kind of reward we are seeing now but encourage the use of the crafting material and teaching of how to use the mechanics.
- Once you have revealed the temple the circles can start dropping a "key" currency to unlock the temple to make runs, just like is done for trials or other end game content. This will more clearly align the temple with similar aspirational type content like the trials or endgame bosses.
