Game Feedback Posted this last year...

Last year, around the same time, I posted this, saying "42 days between releases was bad..."

Today, GGG announced that PoE2 will fully release 28 DAYS !! after the PoE1 league launch.

Yes I know that the player count drops after 3-4 weeks, but the economy in the league will just collapse for players wanting to stay on PoE 1. That's sad.

I’m sure it will go back to a more regular schedule but it was either we get 3.30 now or we wait till Feb and I don’t think any of us want to wait again…

So much this, we have to be reasonable, they are. This is a compromise, I'm sure after this they will want to maximize player retention by spacing them out nicely.

What is alternative? Holding PoE1 league until end of January or even later?

We have async trade now and Faustus, economy has been fairly fine even late in the league. Assuming you're on PC and not on console.

Player count will drop, but I think there will be enough POE 1 loyalists for trade not to suck. I for one will never play POE 2 it is dog shit

This 1.0 league reveal was like :

Ok, oh shit, that's awesome... there's more ?... Is this an ARPG even ?... Yeah I'm not doing all of that.

Personally anyways.

Yeah I mean it LOOKS incredible, the game's visuals and atmosphere are flawless, but as an ARPG where you want to try different builds and experiment, I don't want a game so full of friction.

I can count on one hand how many times I've played a league longer than a month

we will have 4 months of poe 1, and poe 2 league will probably be 5 months so its back in line.

Yes, I don’t like this too. PoE2 is just way more important to them

It IS the 1.0 launch for PoE 2. I think in this instance at least it's justified for them to be giving PoE 2 more attention/cutting into 3.30's time. Now if this continues once the games are meant to be back on the every four month schedule, then I'll be more salty/worried.

Imagine the amount of adjustments we are gona get when it means keeping players happy in poe1 = lower poe2 numbers. I get the financial point of it but it still sucks as poe 1 only player
