Path of Exile 3.26 Expansion Timeline

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.

//RymdLeffe out

I'll be back for the beta, maybe that will last me until the new league, if not, back for the new league 2025.

Its algud plenty of good games out there, good to take a break every now and again and get a fresh perspective.

This is not do or die, I'm sure there's a lot of work to be done at the GGG headquarters. People get comfortable and expect a certain level, in a perfect world we would of had the third league out this year but I would rather have quality over quantity.

Can't you start it one or two hours earlier? You did that for necro league and it fits central Europe so much better?

Need to add more than just lantern to force people to play, something like Affliction every map, which is everyone enjoyed. Lantern is not bad mechanic, but not enough to force people to replay the league, so it have big chance to be dead.

Btw, I also think, it would be better to delay PoE2 more to polish it and not skip PoE1 league at all. Delaying PoE1 because of PoE2 actually very sad, most people were afraid exactly of that.

But we have what we have, so at least add something more exciting to this rehost to attract more people and economics would be sorta-alive.

very dissapointed

Atleast we got something a refresh league I like it better than not getting anything at all.

I'd be up for a "filler-league" but you'd have to give us way more than just that little necropolis mechanic.

That is just way too similar and boring compared to settlers.

Also very dissapointed that POE2 early access is screwing over POE 1 so bad. This year was really bad for POE 1 leagues.

Bad decision, even the event is low effort. Just increase rewards by a major factor, who cares? since it seems you have decided to abandon this game for the time being in favor of POE 2.

bad move, you promised that poe1 would not be affected by 2, it seems that is not the case!

Cool, thanks for the event!
Would be awesome if Allflame embers back for this event too. I personally dont care much about loot but extra monsters and bosses and rogues and stuff are always very welcomed.
The only complain I have is you keep both old settlers and this new settlers event run in parallel. Shouldnt separate the playerbase, could result in two "very dead" leagues instead of single "slightly dead" one. Most of us will move to PoE2 in December tho...
