More Information About the Upcoming One-Month Event

I was expecting the current leagues to last way longer given GGG's earlier announcement about challenge league length and also given the amount of new "stuff" contained in the expansion patch. And now it turns out rather unexpectedly that I probably won't get a chance to complete my last remaining challenge.

I would dislike challenges like "Identify item X" "Redeem Cards Y" "Hoard Z Exalted Orbs". I am a bigger fan of the Diablo 3 challenges: Kill a rare mob of each kind, slay 1000 monkeys, survive Vaal smash etc. Maybe speed-run map X in time Y. Clear map with mod Z.


Yes! Give this man a beer.

Noob question here - and sorry if it was answered earlier.

I'm reading Warbands and Tempest leagues will end on October 2, and characters from those leagues will be moved to their parent leagues. But I assume there won't be a way to move those characters who were on Warbands/Tempest, From Standard/Hardcore to the next challenge league, correct?

If so, is it still "worth" keeping the first characters I made on Path of Exile (who are currently on Warbands) and play as them on Standard, or should I just make completely new ones for the next challenge league? They're only level 30-55 but I didn't exactly plan on abandoning them.

Thanks.
1 Month Races never used to give MTXs, I know people want more than a seraph set, but I think it's a pretty cool looking armor set! Plus, this way it will become this symbol of your participation in 1 months, like "AMG YOU HAVE GREEN AND YELLAR SERPAH" andd like "yeee". Idk I really like Seraph. I hope those discouraged with the golden one (it's gold man :D) are just a minority... cuz I want people to get pumped to get it.

I Can honestly understand and back up people saying that there should be separate colors for HC and SC. Because if I see anyone with that HC set for this one month, I would be seriously impressed! And that's what hardcore is about, taking on the challenge, and showing off the rewards.
I approve of the suggestions for the 1 month flashback leagues they stand.
  • Having a single prize across the the leagues makes the event more accessible to completions
  • Including the additional random draw prizes, encourages continued play, and adds a fun lotto to the mix
  • Provide specific awards for those dedicated to being in the top spots, is great encouragement
  • Flashback is just fun, and I like the pseudo-permanent inclusion of the two recent league mods, nice touch
  • Giving the option for both a Standard version and Hardcore version has become a norm for these events, and I am glad to see it continue


I realize I do not know the numbers about player retention or any sort of drop off rate, but I am one player who would like to see the return to the full 4 month leagues. Hopefully I am not alone in this desire, but I am likely both in a minority, and not vocal enough.
So now again we have to wait over 1 month before you start the real leagues again? Just because of some stupid 1 month league, that half of the players dont play?

Thanks man. See ya in mid-now/dec..(maybe)

Sounds really good to me!

The only thing I'd possibly like to see but not a big deal is maybe final week has tempest + warbands at same time but understand if that's too much or some technical limitation.
Golden seraph set... thats kinda meh :[
ADD A TOKEN OF PARTICIPATION ALREADY

please, rito... ahem I mean ggg, for once use your collective brain.

think how many players would get to e.g. level 80 for e.g. a rhoa feather pimp hat. a guaranteed cosmetic item for everyone working towards that goal. not "you can win this and that with 0.000000001% chance" THAT IS NOT SOMETHING MOTIVATING PLAYERS TO PUT TIME AND EFFORT INTO A SHORT LEAGUE

give EVERYBODY a reason to participate already, not only the top 1%!!!


PS: needless to say, do this for EVERY event from now on. because every other online game is already doing it. every last one of them.
since I have no hope for significant game design improvements in this game I am officially done with Path of Exile. done for good

Cool.
Can we expect a fully functional brazilian server by then? It'd be pretty bad if only a few people could enjoy the brazilian servers while others still have trouble with the ISP (i am currently getting 300ms on br and 150 on texas).
