Why would you even take poe1 developers away from poe1 when you promised those 2 games wouldnt interfere with each other? You delayed poe2 cause you said you wanted to deliver a high quality game that was up to your standards. Yet you delivered a halfbaked game with no endgame and many issues. So why didnt you do the responsible thing of delaying poe2 further and keeping your promise to the community instead of repeatedly saying "mea culpa" while not learning from your mistakes? How about you dont make promises you dont intend to keep in the first place? Claiming poe2 wont interfere with poe1 whilst moving developers from poe1 to poe2 is a DIRECT CONTRADICTION and a LIE. Im just glad this happened on a good league and not on a disaster like Necropolis.	Posted by Dervanon#6338 on Jan 31, 2025, 1:36:58 PM Quote this Post

I appreciate the honesty but this does nothing to smooth things along between the 2 games. PoE2 has so many issues you are taking Devs off PoE1 to help, but giving nothing to PoE1 in the meantime after promising POE 2 wouldnt clash with the running of PoE 1. I get things beyond your control have happened and this was likely a crappy choice with little alternative but still.. Give us SOMETHING here. You already delayed PoE 2, slapped an Early Access price tag on it, and now are taking devs off PoE 1 to help it along.. I'm sure there is some unused content in the trash can you can wipe off and give is in the meantime.	Posted by oneirishcabbage#0128 on Jan 31, 2025, 1:55:21 PM Quote this Post

But they coold carry out challenges for 0.2.0 imho,just like they did for 0.11.0 Anarchy league in 2013.	Posted by ScottEvill#0426 on Jan 31, 2025, 1:57:41 PM Quote this Post

So 3.26 was never in develop and the pace of poe2 update is what we get from the sacrifice of poe1? Are you guys still in a vacation but forgot to tell us or something? At least try to pretend poe1 died for something greater.	Posted by CaptainsUseful#2549 on Jan 31, 2025, 2:17:46 PM Quote this Post

They gave a promise that they were absolut confident about, at the time they gave it. Now they are standing on a whole new ground and couldn't forseen all the problems that comes with it. So they made a decision and clarified their point on that. Of course it feels bad that some things are delayed and they focus on one project for now. In that case it's the new project "PoE2" instead of the long time runner "PoE1". I think it's the right decision they made. To bring out a new game is never an easy task. Especially when you want to make it a good one. Can't imagine what the games will end up if they rush things to fast and put out some unfinished content etc. Don't get me wrong i loved the cycles of 3 months till new League in PoE1, but in fact i played the most of them just for nearly a month till i had the 36 - 40 Challenges done, so my whole life doesnt hang on it and there are many other things to enjoy in the meantime. And with the "trust and loyality" towards GGG and the way they expanded PoE1 i will still stick to them. The reason for that is simple. Experience. I played PoE1 for over a decade now. GGG never let anything down in the way of improving and making their game better. So in the long run both games wins from the experience they collect now from bringing up PoE2. Give them the time they need to fix their stuff and improve even further and come back and enjoy the game when it's done. No Problems with that, or? At what point does deviating from the course of action you have said you will take and the one you are taking behind these scenes while still saying you are on the original course become a lie? I mean sure they said that poe2 won't effect poe1 and like i said they were confident about that at the time they said that. Now, in fact, it affects poe1 after all. But with all those problems that comes around right now and they need to work on, it was kinda obvious that they can't handle it without interfering with the poe1 content. I give you the point there. That's all. The other thing is that poe1 will be far awy from "dead" or not getting new content etc. It will just came out later at this specific point. I don't know if it will happen again in the future, neither know you or Jonathan or Mark. But i hope that, for both games, it will go way smoother with the development and fixing as soon as they get the things done they need to do now.
