Announcing Private Leagues

I don't think any other announcement in the history of gaming has filled me with so much expectation, immediately followed by so much disappointment.

Monster buffs? No vendors? Really? Is this what your players wanted from private leagues?

Where's my "double beyond in every zone"? Bringing back past leagues that we loved? "Casual" mode with increased drops? Permanent Headhunter league? No sulphite Delve? Holy crap I can come up with so many ideas I'd gladly pay a bunch of money for that would enhance my enjoyment of your game by an order of magnitude, and none of them are "reduced player resistances".

Heck, Legacy league was better than this. Can we just pay for a re-run of Legacy in a private league, and be done with it?

I really hope that this is just a first implementation, and you will continue iterating on the idea and adding many new possibilities. But for some reason I remain skeptical.

Fortunately, we all have a smartphone.
Hmmm pay2win or not...
Does private league stuff stay in private or are stuff moved core game?
Great, a feature better then capes.

I have to ask though.
Are league mods part of the kit you can slap on your private server?
Is flashback a core league you can parent you private league on?

thx in advance.

Would have been great 2-3 Years ago.
I take D-Mobile over that anyday.

Also Mayhem and co. makes PoE feel alive, not (necessarily) easier. Not this husk devoid of any development.

Hmkay.... so.... maybe im a filthy casual but who the fuck needs this "feature"?

I mean yeah ok it only makes the game harder so you avoided all accusations of pay-to-win that would have come with allowing payments for mods that make it easier but still....

The only use i can see for this is if some streamer wants to run an event or do a super challenging playtrough but come on.... HC mode has already devolved into a race to who can press the logout macro fastest cause of ridiculous one shot mechanics / Mob-RNG and if anything the Delve league just showed how much of a problem one shots are in this game if you compare depths reached.

So yeah, i dont get it and wont ever use it cause why would i make the game any harder than it already is AND pay for that. Props to GGG tho for finding a way to extort more money from people who want to stroke their e-penis, i guess?

So another one for the no-life crew. I can play 1-2 evenings a week. Tell me how that would even remotely justify a 10-day private league for 120 points? Why not an option giving you a certain number of hours?
No more money from me to GGG until they improve trade!
HYPE!!! i suggested this a while back and it wasn't a very unique suggestion, eitherway it's finally coming to path of exile. I won't criticize it just yet but i do love making the game a bit easier and giving me more stuff, i would also like being able to custom create characters however i like though i don't know how high the demand would be, i still love the concept of this and look forward to playing around with it, though i will probably not make an investment until it's stable and i feel it's worth spending points on
I usually do not read popular posts again after i made a comment on it, unless it's one of my own. I wish to have a Black robed Grim Reaper micro set in game one day, grant my wish, GGG

Agreed! Both the sentiment and the explanation. Casual, past or crazy league mods - at the cost of later being voided - should also be an option, hope they'll reconsider...
