Long text ahead. I usually have some hideout projects stockpiled for the community to enjoy every month, but I don't have the heart to log in, and I imagine many of us share the sentiment. I can't even say anything to ease anyone's worries, I'm just as frustrated. So I'll just write a couple of thoughts bellow, just to vent a bit.

My main problem with the PoE 1 delay, is that this is exactly what I thought would happen when it was announced that PoE 1 and 2 would be separate games instead of separate campaigns. The PR for it was communicating PoE 2 as this passion project that's going to take the genre to the next level, but the subtext of the idea is the danger of PoE 1 entering its sunset years. Everyone's expectation was that GGG could totally juggle the two games at the same time, because the assumption (also built on PR) was that the games are being developed by separate teams. But Jonathan has taken the decision to move over the PoE 1 developers on PoE 2 for some months now; that was not communicated until the cauldron burst open.

I fully get going through the ups and downs of development when going out on an endeavour such as PoE 2. I don't think any rational person expected the game, in early access, being anything near perfect. However, the decision to pull the PoE 1 devs had obvious consequences. PoE 1 would freeze, and then Christmas would hit. Now it's the 31st of January, and the game is as it was 8 months ago. And the whole "time goes where the money is" argument is one I really disagree with, because the optimal profit for GGG has always been having both games live, for different communities bleeding on each other.

In my, very insignificant and very subjective, opinion: PoE 1 is built upon three aspects: a foundation of rapid game cycles, development that has not been scared to experiment, and transparency in communication. It's this combination that brought this community together and had us buy supporter packs, because that combination built GGG into an entity you could both trust and have a blast with, in the long run. It didn't matter so much in the end, if you didn't like a league. Who cares if you didn't enjoy Kalandra or Synthesis when you get leagues like Legion, Ritual, or Affliction. You were in it for the adventure, and if you didn't like it, next league is always there. Right now, two out of three (in my head, core) aspects are non existent, and that's why it stings. There was a conscious decision to not be transparent, and the game is stagnant instead of moving. At the same time, I'm one of those people that is not fully sold on PoE 2, at least not yet. It feels as if that experiment needs a little more trial before the errors are fixed.

Remember for how long this community has been patient with quality of life issues, like trade friction, other companies would not even have the luxury to think of. That patience would not be in place, if it wasn't for all the above that made spending time in PoE 1 worth it. It sucks that we're in this place right now.

tl;dr I miss PoE 1, I would even play Talisman league right now

As Phox's league reached the limit, many of us didn't get the chance to join. For me personally, it's been work that made me miss it by just an hour or two.

And I trully beg you, do it soon. The rest of us don't want to be too far behind!

GGG did the reset with necro settlers but it wasn’t the hit everyone was hoping. Can we get a reset of settlers and give us affliction + sentinel? Make it a avoid league and let everyone blast and enjoy the dopamine.

POE1 enjoyers need something to help pass the time.

Hello everyone,

Out of all these posts regarding the weird statement that GGG is prioritizing an early access vs an ongoing live service game, there is something that needs to be said.

Starting 2.1 (end of 2015) PoE had 3/4 months league and starting 3.1 (end of 2017) it had major game/systems revamp every single year. The trend following big revamp already broke late 2022 with Sanctum not having big revamp but it was not much of an issue because Sanctum fixed Kalandra's disaster so it massively improved the base game by restoring it to how it was before the normalization of Archnemesis modifiers broke it (that and the loot entshittification).

Affliction (one year after Sanctum) still did not involve a giant revamp be it systems or atlas but it introduced a shit-ton of league content that could replace it and it was a bit samey for Settlers of Kalguur (with the currency trade changing deeply how trade league was played), Necropolis being weird with the big FOMO strats and T17 introduction.

But still, despite not having true "Atlas revamp expansion" since Archnemesis, PoE1 still followed a timeline of 3/4 months league with big new base contents every year. That's the committment GGG already had, the "contract" so to say that was signed with their growing playerbase.

Out of that, regarding PoE2 the contract is for the future. They told us that it will be a great game, an insane game, cool. There is no set date, no quaterly expectation, it's an early access. I bought Hades 2 in early access last year, promising game, I played it a bit, it's already good but I'll wait for it to be finished, I sent my review and I'm not waiting for the final product. There is no reason for POE2 to be different : does the game have problem ? Yes of course, it's an early access. It's not even an early access, it's a paid beta, I don't expect a paid beta to be fully balanced or have a shitload of content, that's what I expect for a finalized league.

The fact that in his speech, Jonathan considers that they are late regarding a game with no set timeline while POE1 was (by the time of october) close to two years late regarding expansion release and already missing the expected league for this timeperiod is crazy to me : at that time, POE2 did not have these huge numbers at the time so they had no real basis to put everything on hold for its release. And it still already shifted out of their priorities, insane.

There is a new private league that is organized by Pohx and we already reached 11 000 + request when only 9000 slot are available.

Thanks to all the crowdfunding !

Here is the link to access to the private league.

As the title says GGG should gives Inifinit slot or at least free slot for PoE1 players that want to do private league.

UPDATE: WE'VE REACHED 16,000 SLOTS, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED POINTS FOR SLOTS!
