I loved short races like burst and brutus/merveil/oversoul/piety runs, I'm not sure why they killed it. and yeah even 3 day races like bpl are eh, the worst overall is onslaught league which was 20% more action speed on monsters, but relatively, yeah it's underwhelming, though tbf it's probably "we need every dev on poe 2, someone, you have 2 hours to make an event". imo they could at least add deadly bosses from gauntlet though. also for races they could probably make them async, like the event is going on the whole day, you can do it when you want. the tech is there to lock a player as they've used it in some of the streamer races, they could make it so the game is locked after the time expires. cutthroat was interesting too, you can enter other player's instances as an enemy and get their loot (or die and they get yours.)
All great points thanks for chiming in! Never thought of the async, thatd make em awesome. I did enjoy the live aspect of them but async could totally fix the fact that if you work its hard to join many of them. "we need every dev on poe 2, someone, you have 2 hours to make an event". -> lolll, riiight? And ya true about onslaught, good call. And ya there were soooo many other types of events they couldve recycled from the past but somehow we got this instead..what the f..
What? Please explain who is not letting them do POE2? People are not pissed because it's not a new league (which would be great but it's fine not to have that for POE2), people are pissed because this "league" idea is so lazy and dumb, they have flashback formula in the bank, it's done before so many times, and it's way better than this, and there are endless delve, endless heist, or going real back to the actual race, where you start not in campaign but in dedicated maps with dedicated unique items, everything can be better, not just "you can get more chaos". All of those are the things they already have, don't need to design over just use them would be good, but no.
not personally interested in poe 2 myself, as poe 1 addict supporter, this feels like kick in the nuts, and this take is kinda universal, we are ok with delay for 3.26, poe 2, Let them cook, but the absoulute lack of creativity and care for event, when we league time got extended to nearly 6months, is absurd especially when THEY Clearly SAID PoE 2 dev will not impact PoE 1... Clearly it does.
L take, my man, I have a lot of friends that were interested in the game when settlers came out, and didn't start because of how bad necropolis was, after they saw settlers was one of the best, they didn't want to start mid league and said they would play next league. With this event, they'll start playing with me... More of one of the best expansions to the game is not a reason to cry
Bro, you really don't understand. We used to play these races during leagues. One day, you just get these random short events with interesting twists. You play it for an hour or less, and go back to the league. The experience is always fresh and makes you want to try a lot of different things that you wouldn't even think of in the "normal" league. "after they saw settlers was one of the best, they didn't want to start mid league and said they would play next league"... well, sure this will be "a fresh start", but what will most likely happen is people are gonna play for the mystery box and then go back to the league where their stash isn't empty.
Have fun! Im thinking i may go for my first 40/40 for the first time in a very long time since im really enjoying it and doing youtube now, coupled with the fact its gonna be a very long league
Right? That plus heist, delve, atlas, pantheon, etc etc. Doesnt really respect folks time imo though if you love PoE you get used to it and it does have its upsides since you can do really well early on in a league start
Yeah, this event is underwhelming. I will be honest and say I have given D4 and Last Epoch a hard time for their underwhelming events in the past. Last Epoch did an event reset recently, and it seemed like it was a bit light, and it had about 5x the amount of stuff that this event does. I think more than anything, GGG is just accepting that they have enough hype for PoE 2 and years of good will that they can get away with it this time. And you know what, they are right. But its still sad. I'm going to try to make the best of it, and use it as an opportunity to try out hardcore. I've previously only messed with HC in gauntlets and never made it far enough to get the steam achievements or what not. Which having just mentioned gauntlet...they could have just reused all the reworked bosses from gauntlet in this event. It makes gauntlet a little less special in hindsight, but the farthest I got to experience was the Harvest in gauntlet, and I am sure there are lots of folks that missed a lot as well. I know Ben got it all finished, but it would be cool for the rest of us have another bite at the apple to experience the cool reworked fights with the training wheels of softcore or trade league.
Absolutely agree with everything you said. Ya theyll get away with it; worst case folks will just skip it and say whatever. And yep they couldve reused gauntlet or any of easily fifty to a hundred past interesting things theyve done. Anywho it is what it is. Cheers and thanks for chiming it
@@NoMoreMrNextYear imo it's more of an event for people who quit the league than people who are still playing though. they could have just put 3.25 reboot, but they still added a little twist, so I'm not completely mad, but yeah it feels lazy.
What you are looking at is all poe 1 resources pull to poe 2. I'm using time to stay in the original settlers and trying out new league starters and builds that i haven't played before.
Yep im planning to stay in settlers as well. Ya the thing is though it really wouldnt take them any effort to repeat one of any number of events and recycle so many things from the past that are all already developed so i do wonder if there is some intentional hamstringing being done to not distract folks from the poe2 EA and to have it worth it to folks who are paying etc etc
I got 40/40 in SoK. Idk i was just going to play a different league starter that i want to see how it will workout for 3.26 if it is good Day one or not or even a league starter at all.
If this event is bad, man PoE had to have some kick ass events, cuz this is just standard practice for live service games. I think the best part of it for me is just the reset of the economy cuz I can try to rope in my friends who are waiting for PoE2 but are on the fence of PoE1 due to bunch of reasons. If this doesn't happen, Im probably just gonna go back to my SSF character, stil have a lot of things to do.
Maybe this is them trying to stress test faustus because they think they will need him for poe2. That's why they want to keep the game as similar as possible maybe even have some agency over what happens when more/less loot drops.
Agree totally. I don't think the Lantern of Arimor is nearly enough to make me restart. The one nice thing is if you're cycling maps for wildwoods, you can also keep your eye out for 'drops divines' on the lantern, assuming that one will be included. But meh. Not enough
Wait - I totally missed that the Lantern won't even work like before, so you can't cycle for 'drops divines'. It changes once per hour, and is otherwise the same every map... if they didn't add a bunch of new good mods to the pool, that's going to be a giant waste of time. Even with 'drops chaos,' I aint pickin up 100 chaos orbs one by one every map for an hour, sorry lol. Hard pass.
I think they stopped racing because it would be the same top players would be winning. Also, the alt skin might be stuck on poe 1 unless they are like the mtx loot... I think they have the right idea with kirac's vault and put cool alternatives art through that rather than racing. Who's gonna beat ben or Steve? I think they have been lazy with the vault lately before they used iconic uniques. I think the mage blood alt art is one of the best skins in the game. Wish they would pick like 1 or 2 top uniques used as alt art. Races are ok if there are a lot of people at or similar skill levels. That's why in Ziz's gauntlet, it's the professional poe players who's gonna win the races, so it's no real access to the general population
Right but if you look at the old race seasons, because there were so many unique race types, each of varying lengths down to like 12 minutes sometimes, i think it allowed for others to compete. for things like a one week race i agree itll probably always mostly be the same handful of folks. And with the alt arts iirc they added a feature to destroy them and convert them into being like all your other skins in your mtx stash. for example this is how ziz always uses the alphas howl if im not mistaken (i still havent used the command yet myself)
the thing with racing is that you mostly just needed to hit milestones, like level 6 in one of the 3 12 min burst, brutus kill in an hour and merveil in and hour 30. they aren't hard to hit if you actually try. yes it would be the same people getting the best times, but they just got extra rewards. also if you qualified for an event, you were entered into a raffle for items (I got an alt art ammy from it at some point.) imo the best part about it was the free skin transfers. if you got a totem that showed your achievements and maybe some skins like for the actual seasons it would be great, don't even need to give away items for standard.
@NoMoreMrNextYear i am not too familiar with converting or using a command to change to mtx. I know there is an mtx that allows you to take the appearance of an item, so mirror crafters would love to put a special skin as they mirror. You would just need ziz to mtx a rare helm and mirror the rare if you really wanted the mtx. If ppl have mirrors, that would be the best way of getting those old mtx looks.
@@jacobkim9259 using a skin transfer on a rare and then mirroring it, only the non mirrored version will have the skin. if you convert the alt art to mtx, I'm pretty sure it just is applied like your other mtx.
@@satibel I see a guy selling a triple synth ring in trade chat 1 with the Original Sin ring skin so my guess is they used a failed corrupt Original Sin as the skin for the ring, but I could be wrong because the guy has the real mirror tier ring it could just be for him, and he is just advertising as a flex
With the amount of work that's probably going into PoE2 and they also had to delay the launch, this isn't really an event, it's just one person's 30 min work, probably done in a lunch break, just to put something out, they just as well could have said we don't have the resources for poe1 right now since we need PoE2 to hit at least the Dec6 date. Just play something else until then.
is it the worst league? Nah, its still Settlers, which is definitely one of the best, if not best league I have played (and I have played since PoE was released, maybe even beta event, not sure. Stupid idea? Yes. Because of the fragmentation of leagues. If they just put that on top of already existing league, that would be fine. Also you then talk about why dont we have 'blast from the past' which combine 2 league mechanics. Well, thats what it is, combination of Settlers and Necropolis, perhaps they just got too much negativity so chose to pick just a half of Necropolis mechanics (positive effects from Lantern) into the mix. Race seasons? Hell yeah, I loved those even if I was hopelessly horribly in them. I miss those. Oh, good old times... Race seasons were the best. Even the cosmetic rewards in old regular leagues were great too. You know, league challenges, but instead of chisels for everyone and cosmetic rewards if you pay for them you got a pillar of champion for that league to showcase in your hideout and several cosmetics, mostly weapon effect, steps effects and portal effects. Also PvP in PoE was stupid IMO... most of what I got into was just 10 seconds either murdering enemy or being murdered. I have tried, it never feld good, no sense of accomplishment, even winning 10 times in a row. It was just boring. And only rewards were some points for master. And PvP have tons of issues that are also in Hall of Champions map. For example characters with culling strike (if you play low life with 90% life reservation, its 1shot all time every time, no way around it other than turn off your aura), Chaos innoculation and other complete immunity to certain type of damage (this league I tried one, had to lower my defenses because of culling strikes and then met a character that was completely imune to ice and possibly chaos too. Every skill I have leveled up was completely useless. Every other encounter was super easy and took like 2 seconds to kill anyone else, but this one just had complete imunity. No idea how, but concidering they are all player submissions that is possible to do in PvP too). PoE just isnt a good game for PvP sessions. I think for viable PvP it would have to be limited to some kind of point system for gear and mods on them with no uniques that have unconventional mechanics.
Great take. Agreed 100% on everything you discussed. And ya its true PvP in PoE is totally scuffed but i still kinda enjoyed it and would love to at least try it out in a serious way again xD Given exactly what you mentioned probably some kind of meta would just naturally develop like folks wouldnt use Chaos damage and wouldnt play low life etc cuz of exactly what you mentioned and it would end up just kind of becoming its own beast. Also in the past when I used to do pvp i always did low level poe which might be more enjoyable
But can you call this Necropolis? It's just a lantern, without bad effects and without allflames. It's like one third of one thing from one league lmao. Kinda sad, not gonna lie.
We just need more league mechanics if they’re gonna relaunch. Hell, delay the relaunch a week or two and give us sentinel and crucible back. Reuse more old assets, c’mon GGG.
Finally an actual real take everyone Is sucking up to GGG when they been messing up so much lately no poe1 league till next year only two seasons this year. poe2 years and months off delay so sick of all this positive andys GGG keep droping the ball and we keep. Making excuses for them
You need to chill right out and let ggg cook. They’re the best in the business for a reason. If you can do better do. It’s what ggg did and look what we got. Do or LET THEM COOK
I only came here to hate. does sound like the theme. WORST coming from a free game who is also releasing its other POE2 release in the same timeline. They could also have done nothing and just promoted POE2 nonstop. free optimism!
You gotta stop whining lol, its an optional event and they just need more time to work on POE2 servers. Anyways, this is not your typical event that last a few days, its a rerun of the league which should last till the next expansion
Low-hanging, rotten, burnt offering of a POE holiday season event. I'm honestly so surprised they resurrected Necropolis. It's pure trash -- and they KNOW Necropolis sucked. This year has been a series of disappointments and I'd say they've done a lot of damage to the community's perception of their stated plans. Hard to get hype when you're pissed.
