I'm with a lot of people saying that I'm extremely disappointed with this decision.

You introduced PoE2 saying it would be integrated in the core game that me and so many others love. Then you went and said that PoE2 would be a separate game, changing the core foundation of the game and our mindsets completely (for me for the worse). And you forced PoE2 down our throats while announcing new leagues with twitch chat screaming to introduce the new PoE1 league.

That would all be okay since you promised us that there would be separate teams working on both games and that you would be able to make this work without mishaps regarding leagues and timelines. That's the second promise of many that you broke.

We're now stuck in a league for 7 months without new content - one league lasting longer than the other, the closer to PoE2 we're getting. We used to have a new end game every year previously.

I do not care when PoE2 comes out. I understand there are people who do, but instead of ruining the experience for the guys that love this game (PoE1), and that made PoE2 possible to begin with, don't neglect our passion that we have for this game by making PoE1 a worse game just to implement new things that are completely seperate from what we love.

I dont understand it. You have the best game ever created in this genre - by far! What is the reason for all of this? I simply dont get it. If PoE2 becomes a great game - great! - but take your time to develop it, because there's is no rush a long as you bring out new content and patches for PoE1. Now we're instead at a standstill where PoE1 gets less content, leagues get longer, and where promises about PoE2 keeps breaking - It's a lose/lose situation, and on top of that, we lose interest in both games simultaneously.

I hope you take the time to read all these messaged in this forum until 2025, and really try to understand what it is that your fanbase wants, because this is not it.

Poe2 wont impact Poe1 btw. Except it did for at the very least 2 years now, destroying 4 leagues a year cycle AND we had no expansions since 3.17. And if that wasnt enough, we now will have basically a 6 month league. I mean, i truly believe that settlers relaunch with lantern and the way it will work is kinda unwelcomed. For some it might be better then nothing, but "mods are the same for all players and rotate once per hour" like what? Is this it? Boats and rain of chaos? I would have rather preferred prenerfed affliction than this piece of shi... And i mean, late January announce? Like what? 6.5 month league AT BEST? So, i believe it will be around 7-8 month looking how u have neglected Poe1 for 2 years. But did you even start working on 3.26 (haha, rhetorical question) I mean, there is for sure a ton of players eagerly waiting for Poe2, but arent you going a bit too far to launch Poe2? What about your own words that Poe1 wont suffer cus of Poe2? Why is it always so hard to just keep your promise? You just had to have all hands working on Poe2 and forget about everything you said, just like you always do btw, to just launch the game and make it so u can launch leagues in Poe1 and Poe2 with 1.5 month in between them basically selling new support packs every 1.5 months. And i mean, thats totally fine you need to make profit, but it just shows that you are no better then any other company (yes yes, that one company) My disappointment is immeasurable and my year is ruined.
