Announcing Private Leagues

Not sure how I feel about this... Is this it? Is there an actual league coming? This is great for people streaming for a living or Safeway workers, but for those that have a career I think we'd love news on the next league.
good to see that this is happening but sad it will only be for a small player base? I've been hoping for something like this since the very first flashback event way back in 2014? i think but the way this is looking is not going to work in my opinion.

Would be so much better if you let us choose any modifier to add to it and keep it separate from the current trade market. I really enjoy flashback events and was hoping that's what this would be ;(

I mean why limit it, i get so you still want to run events but why not let people play how they want in these private leagues ie Anarchy, Invasion, Breach, Ambush, Torment, Perandus, Beyond, Nemesis, Bloodlines, Abyss and Harbinger, choose as many or only 1 mod if you want and then add all the other stuff you are talking about. Especially if you have to pay for these private leagues you should be able to run them how you want. I just can't see any value in paying for whats on offer at the moment.

anyway keep up the good work, looking forward to 3.5 just please don't make another delve or bestiary league they both sucked
ps please fix the random 1 hit from rares bs introduced in delve <3

you know for a fairly complicated game, it certainly seems like a lot of people here are braindead.

an expansion announcement always comes with a league announcement.

It further divides an already dwindling community effectively turning leagues into SSF. Here are some stats you may not be aware of
In the last 48hrs there has been only 8 people trading in Hardcore. 8 people at peak!
In Delve HC there has been only 500 people peak, compared to 7400 in delve. That is not a lot. It drops as low as 200 over 48 hrs. It's a very lonely game when there are only 200 people playing or trading in a league

Now add the paid custom leagues and those numbers dwindle even further. So now players who can't or won't be able to pay for regular content or aren't interested in some streamers meme-league, will be sitting there with a dozen premium stash tabs and no one to play with.

I promise player numbers across the board will plummet when everyone spreads out so thin across the game that temp leagues and permanent leagues become wastelands. Expect new lows in the number of active players when the novelty wears off.
to be honest speaking for myself. i would only want to do it if i was able to play and combine past leagues together.

I think most of the people who are really upset about this come from the HC Trade league, and are responding to the potential for this to pretty much kill trade in their challenge leagues. I can see the potential for it, but I also believe as many others have said here in this thread. this will end up being an in between challenge league streamer niche thing for most people who will do it.


Some of it definitely is HC trade people. But look at the quality of most of the negative posts. It's clear most of them didn't even read the announcement.

It's actually not a bad thing some of these people are mad, i wouldn't like to see the game go in a direction that makes them happy. Like people asking for pay to win mechanics.

People being mad isn't a bad thing. It depends who is getting mad.

everyone needs to chill out, this is literally made for ziggyD so he can make more money off his stream.

It will not effect anyone else.



Making all kinds of gains.
Coulda just released a mobile PoE, that's about how much anybody wants to pay for a harder PoE. Been hearing about this for years and then you see it and not only are you charging for it but it's awful. No thanks, your normal league will do just fine thanks.
A late April Fool Joke. Calling it.
This sentiment was summed up by a member of our design team who recently said "We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not."

YOLO!

This might be funny if it wasn't so unoriginal.
