Play the Legacy of Phrecia Event on February 20th PST
" Yeah I'll be honest, I don't think there is a company out there who would ruin 10 years of credibility and spark a 300 page forum response within 48 hours to the tune of: "F*** YOU, I WANT MY MONEY BACK" on purpose. Jonathan's news was sincere. GGG does not have the manpower to develop both games (or at least they haven't been managed in way which allows them to do so) in parallel. While this immediate pivot and content dump to PoE1 is great, it still comes at a cost. Chris has said in the past that they work on multiple leagues at a time. There has been nothing since 3.25 and the news about 3.26 was 'we haven't even started', I'm inclined to believe GGG still had at least some semi-fleshed out leagues or even an expansion that had been shelved indefinitely when development for PoE2 spun up. These events could be that. If true; GGG's capacity to create content for PoE1 'quickly' might not actually be the case. It also implies that PoE1 might have had an expansion to rival the scope of Siege of the Atlas which now we might get drip fed and who knows if/when any of it goes core. And none of this speaks to any potential setbacks PoE2 might suffer as a consequence as well. I approach this event with cautious optimism for the future but in no way think this stands as proof that things are better now. Last edited by muzein#2324 on Feb 14, 2025, 10:20:11 AM

" Yeah, I agree with you. Maintaining 2 games instead of 1 is going to be a huge challenge for them. Even if they increase the workforce, key developers are still gonna be spread out. Develop new league in POE1, POE2 updates get delayed aka people will be angry. Focus more on making POE2 better, POE1 leagues will be delayed aka people will be angry. They are between 2 hellfires, trying to extinguish one makes the other burn hotter. My guess is that they will try to keep 1 alive as long as it takes for poe2 to leech all the good stuff from 1. Then they scrap 1 and we will only have poe2, which is gonna be better that poe1 ever was. But it's gonna be a long journey. OR they work really really hard on POE2, but it just doesn't have the magic and people will get bored of it. But it's a very unlikely scenario. |

Isn't the cloak of flame ascendency wrong?
The item does not have the "from hits" part. Or maybe don't name the ascendency node cloak of flame... |
