When affliction phases out during the incoming new league. According to news posts on the website and steam.
All of your progress will migrate to the respective parent league of your characters, Affliction League will migrate to Standard League for example.
All of your Tinctures and Charms will be deleted.
Existing Itemised Corpses in Standard will not be deleted, nor are any Spectres from these corpses. However, those Itemised Corpses won't be obtainable in the next league.
Your Wildwood Ascendancies will no longer exist.
Existing Wildwood Rucksacks will become 'remove only' inventories with items in them only removable in towns and hideouts.
All Affliction exclusive uniques will be added to the core drop pool, except for That Which Was Taken (this change will happen in 3.24).
Very strange behavior from GGG yet again, because its fairly common knowledge that its in fact the spectres that will the real stars of this league. Even bow builds were running them. Sure you could get charms that did good things for your build that may have been missing or stack more of a needed attribute, but good/amazing ones were expensive. Spectres were CHEAP. Making them available to almost everyone playing, and what they provided nearly broke the game as well. Sure lets just keep them in standard. When it comes to affliction, I would have just wiped everything or nothing.
