fomo much?
PoE1 will get it's patch sooner or later.
Aside of that, the game server are online, so you could play PoE1 at any time lol.

A game that has based its entire existence around new leagues to garner attention decides that it wont release a new league and work on a very underwhelming product that shouldnt have left the oven for at least a year... yup.

Kind of ironic coming from you who min-maxes the fun outa the game.

Personally, they said late January so still some days left for an update. I do want to start a series for PoE 1 or play Re:Metaphor but if the new league is slated to come late February then I will hold out.

If 3.26 comes out will you play it?

It's the end of January for the classic announcement of the announcements of the announcements.

They never said there won't be a new league. We knew for months at this point that PoE 2 will be the focus for a while after release. What you call a "underwhelming" product already has more players than PoE 1 ever had and ever will have. Not to mention the revenue from early access sales alone - PoE 1 pales in comparison. GGG is a business, profit comes first and foremost. PoE 2 is this companies future, PoE 1 is not. It's only natural for them to have their priorities in check.

PoE 1 will get attention when they see fit and no amount of kicking and screaming will change that.

This does not require a new league.
Honestly if I wanted to play some PoE1 right now I would just log in, play around with some stuff and min-max the fun out of my free time. It's that simple.

Depends on how good or bad the league looks like, and what other games are on the list during that time.
It's nice to be flexible without the fear of not having a new POE1 league asap :)

But it is. It does a lot of things right and so many wrong; it should have been a visual and mechanical update for PoE 1 instead of a separate game.

What you say is very true and personally a quick update from GGG would help solve what I would like to accomplish with content creation time. If no new PoE 1 league then I can start a new PoE 1 series or play Re:Metaphor (I dont want to stop and then restart something) as a new PoE 1 league would take priority over these choices.

I also create content for a totally different channel, work and exercise so the amount of actual time is fairly limiting.

GGG wont release a new league because they dont want to give poe2 competition. they know that a fresh poe1 league would have more players than poe2 and it would look bad if poe2 numbers plummeted overnight. this is why we didnt get a poe1 league last year either and i can sort of understand that. they wanted to sell keys and if there was a fresh free poe1 league to play then many people including myself wouldnt have bought keys. but now 2 months later they should stop milking the key sales and give the people what they want which is a new poe league.

and yes poe2 is very underwhelming indeed. GGG knows this also. this is why they are so worried about giving it competition in the form of a fresh poe league

Yes, you are correct. I think what most PoE 1 players want is a simple answer as to whether a new league is coming or not - thats all. Personally, as I explained in the post before this I need to manage time spent.

PoE 2 needs a lot of work done but they probably needed to get something out due to 10cent pressure. When tons of marketing and publicity went into the game I would sure hope the game has more players than PoE 1 but if you think half of these players will be back season after season to restart you are highly trolling.

If you look at the forums over the past week or 2 a lot of the 'Dad Gamers' are getting to maps/higher endgame and realizing its not a game they want to play season after season if you read posts (and its not the same usernames who complain and complain).

I like PoE 2 but its very, very underwhelming and needs a lot of work.

Lmao ben and others already back to poe 1. I am opening my popcorn to see how this will escalate.

Lol, of course it has, most POE1 players play poe2 now because there isn't anything left to do in POE1 anymore. And that is why POE1 can't have a new league because GGG don't want poe2 to look bad when all the POE1 players would return to a good POE1 league!
