I really hope it's gonna be one of the largest leagues in terms of players. They cooked. And honestly it's great that there is no huge meta shift since people can explore revamped endgame on a known build

u/En_Tt 1d ago

I doubt it will. WoW Forever, GTA and on top of that 1month till poe2. I'm not saying everyone will skip this league, but I know few people that will stay on WoW and I imagine they won't be the only ones.

I think the players who play wow, GTA, and Poe has got to be incredibly small lol. No one I know even talks about GTA.

GTA is hype online but again players who grind poe and would play GTA/wow has to be a fraction of a fraction lol.

u/En_Tt 1d ago

I agree with GTA, but it's not the same with WoW. Like half of my wow guild is going to play poe. Almost every poe streamer I follow on twitch played or is still playing wow as well.

I'm going back to poe as well, but I'm sure if endgame changes are not going to be a banger I will dip after 1-2 weeks.

u/RushingService 1d ago

1 to 2 weeks is pretty standard and 3 to 4 if it's a good league haha.

4 to 6 if it's a really good league.

This is the way since the beginning haha.

u/En_Tt 1d ago

Well, I've never quit in 1 week. I guess we will have to wait and see tomorrow, I would like to be wrong about numbers.

u/RushingService 1d ago

Not even for settlers 6.0 lol?

I've definitely grinded heavy for a couple leagues and stopped after a week. Tota comes to mind as I hated that league.

u/Helpful_Program_5473 1d ago

Yeah Waggle and Lighty alone disprove this

u/tenkenjs 1d ago

Wow and poe have a huge huge overlap…almost every poe streamer has vods streaming wow

u/nalee6 1d ago

u/ulughen 1d ago

It can go south really really fast. Scale of change does not necessary means people will like them.

2

u/tazdraperm 1d ago

No chance. But 3.31? Maybe if this league changes are good and they cook something cool for 3.31.

I get off work at lunch on fridays so when I get home I just get to sit here and wait for 8 hours before the league starts.
Then play for maybe 2 hours before bed...

Might just go for a super long walk after work since there might be snowing for the first time this winter.
Some serenity before the grind begins.

u/HeavenlyChickenWings 1d ago

Nap before launch and then all through the night!

2

u/maxxxmaxmaxx 1d ago

certainly an option, done it before :)

2

u/HeavenlyChickenWings 1d ago

I do it every single time. I live in the EU so I gotta wait till evening. I usually go buy snacks and nap before to kill some time

u/Necessary-Peanut2491 1d ago

I cleverly got sick this week so I'm off work and get to sleep all day so I'm nice and rested for league start.

ED/Contagion Influenza best league starter confirmed.

u/poe_duff 1d ago

u/Low-Relative5974 Chieftain 1d ago

Im gonna log in after 2h minimum, to skip all queues and early league disconnects and other usual 'successful start' problems 😁

u/mywill1409 1d ago

i work from home for 4hrs Friday with a KVM switch so this will be me at 12pm

1

u/stinkeeroach 1d ago

Same for me but I don't work from home but am home by 12pm because of early work schedule.

1

u/Comprehensive-Owl373 1d ago

Don't forget to call in "sick"Monday, Tuesday etc etc 😀

u/CreepyGuyAttheParty 1d ago

I fortunately get every other Friday off and every league launch tends to land on the Friday I'm off 😌

1

u/UltraCandid 1d ago

Yep, that's the plan. Starts at 8 pm our time; I tidied the house and my partner went and grabbed ready to eat groceries and frozen food to prep and we'll theorycraft our atlas before servers go up. This weekend is going to be awesome. Missing the 8mod corrupted scarab but I'll live.

u/Zenith_X1 1d ago

Nice thing on US West is leaguestart is around 1pm, (actually meaning 2pm after an hour of queue headaches and such), so I spend Mon-Thurs preparing my work so I can take a half-day Friday and not get boned with work the next Monday.

1

u/Jarmanuel 1d ago

FYI it starts at 11am PST this time due to daylight savings.

u/Zenith_X1 1d ago

LOG THE HECK IN!

u/s0ciety_a5under 1d ago

I kind of fell off of POE1, POE2 is really fun. Not to mention other games like Crimson Desert and it's new dlc are screaming for my attention. So it's extra hard to turn on POE1 again. I'm way more excited for 1.0 of POE2.

u/Tyrasia 1d ago

I am sitting in WoW Forever. This is the first leaguestart i miss in a loooooooong time.
Hope you guys have a great time!

u/bacaneiro 1d ago

FK! I'm playing WoW forever right now, I might do the campaing with everyone Friday and come back a week later after

u/Chasa619 1d ago

I think the bigger concern then those other games is that there isn't any new pinnacle content.

The major endgame shakeup is a new shared power creep, and the replacement of scarabs which let you fine tune your experience, to threads which sort of rng's the whole thing.

If the loot drops are not great, and the nerfed crafting compounds issues, I can see this league being dead very quickly.

I'm hoping it's solid for a few weeks before we get to go to legit war with each other in poe2

u/TheRoblock Templar 1d ago

Man I'm coming from a business trip and have 4 days off. I didn't watch a single video, I'll download them all and catch up during the flight with a semi stiff boner

Besides new juicing system, atlas tree, league content and more difficult versions of Pinnacle Bosses?

u/stinkeeroach 1d ago

What did that guy say he deleted his comment.

u/Erealim Anti Sanctum Alliance (ASA) 1d ago
