Is the Syndicate in Standard league?

[one whole boi]

The immortal syndicate stuff is kinda killing my buzz for this game. I'd prefer to play the game without them if possible. The encounters crash the game all the time.

I just entered my first safehouse, DCed on my first attempt to port in, then after running the gauntlet I get to the safehouse and there's just a locked door inside and nobody there. No messages indicating something wrong happened or any clue as to what's going on. This is when I decided to try standard league and avoid this nonsense altogether.

So anyway, this Immortal Syndicate stuff is just ruining the game for me and I'd rather play without it if possible.

From My knowledge, Immortal syndicate is going to appear in standard once the betrayal league is over. That happens to every expansion once their time is done. Altho about Your DCs, it might be just the servers fault, I'm constantly on the verge of death in delves because of lags.

I don't know exactly, but there's a chance that syndicate won't move into the next league.

Not every league goes core, but Betrayal is; it was actually confirmed day 1 of the league. Here's the manifesto on changes to IS when it goes core: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2330305

My bad then. I returned to the game today and wasn't very interested in betrayal league previously.

S'all good. Few leagues have not gone core (Beyond, Invasion, Tempest, Warband, Talisman, and technically Onslaught), though they have seen small portions of their content added to endgame maps as map mods or as uncommon prophecies. I think Betrayal is the first league that was leaked as "developed for core", though.

Well hopefully they work on the crashing issue. Lots of people are struggling with it. I started a new character in standard and I'm relieved I can play without it. Honestly, I think the syndicate stuff is cool as I like undead themed stuff. I just don't like crashing all the time.

[+|A.O|+]

but in which act does it get added in the game?

Breaches are in end-game, abyss from Act 6, Sacrifice of the Vaal in all acts, Delve from Act 4, Incursion from Act 7, Beastiary from Act 2.

Where does Betrayal go?

Not right now - its a new mechanic and the first time those show up is always in their own league. This allows the developers to gauge feedback and tweak things. However, expect that shortly after this league ends and the next one starts that it will be ported into Standard in a modified form.

In fact, that's already their stated plan when the Synthesis league drops in two weeks. Buuuut - its supposed to be reserved for a near end-game Act instead of being in there right from the start. Similar to how the Bestiary or the Temple is now.
