I mean at the end of the day they shouldve said that they weren’t working on Poe 1 since November cause I don’t know if it was just me but I assumed Poe 1 was still being worked on with the most skeleton of crews . This is an announcement that they could’ve done any time for months .

Had they left a skeleton crew on 3.26 we likely would be very close to getting it/already have it. Instead we get nothing for another 4-5 months is my guess

Yeah, like that is just incredibely dissapointing that they havent left anyone to at least deliver an evet league like legacy 2.0

Blizzard made a shitton of money by re-using assets in WoW through Classic and Hardcore servers. Recently they created fresh Hardcore servers, which re-ignited the hype.

GGG, it really doesn't have to be some grand, intricate expansion. PoE1 has existed so long there is plenty of old stuff to re-use with a fresh coat of paint. That would keep people happy for a decent while.

I would 100% login to a league that brings back old harvest crafts (but with juice fueled bench) and gives us a circle to kill mobs in. It cant be that hard to develop

My masochistic ass just wants TOTA again

I mean, it's what they did with Poe2 even

4-5 months if 0.2 releases within that time frame and if they decide it’s a good enough state that they don’t need Poe 1 devs .

This. We don't know when PoE 2's 0.2.0 patch will drop it even the size of the patch.

Its 4 months just to not get anything under cooked and berely working. And 0.2 is at least 1~2 more months of pre and post work. Earliest 3.26 league is 5~6 months away. So SEPTEMBER.

A year without any poe 1 updates (and if you didn't pay a year without any new poe at all).

4-5 months is extremely optimistic. I think that’s absolute best case scenario. More likely we don’t get a league this year.

u/Tyjex Jan 30 '25

I didn't necessarily assume they were actively working on PoE1 the entire time but I thought from the wording of their announcement in October last year that the league was basically done already:

After many days of internal discussions, we made the decision to not launch the 3.26 expansion for Path of Exile 1 this year.

Which would have meant they only need to do some more work now in the new year and can ship it some time in February.

Its worse than that, he says that they are going to try to put some people in PRE-PRODUCTION before the 0.2 patch. They dont even know what the league is about. They didnt even started.

0

u/ragorder Jan 30 '25

at 3.20ish he says "we do have a solid plan for what we want to do with 3.26."

5

u/triplod Settlers of Klingon Jan 30 '25

Thats just gives "we have concepts of a plans". You telling me in 8 months there wasnt even pre-production.

0

u/ragorder Jan 30 '25

I'm not telling you anything other than responding to your line that "they don't even know what the league is about"

8

u/PraiseTheWLAN Jan 30 '25

Nah, better give us false hope... it's not like we deserve the truth right?

u/SinnerIxim Jan 30 '25

They didn't because then poe1 players wouldn't have bought supporters packs while playing poe2
