Can someone please explain why PoE1 enjoyers feel the need to jump into every PoE2 early access announcement just to complain? You already got your event—just go play it. There are plenty of PoE2 players who are excited about these announcements, so there’s really no need to come over here just to spread your one-liner negativity.

At this point, it just makes the PoE1 community look completely bitter and resentful.

they are destroying poe2 because they like their 2013 retro game.

Kinda sad that the whole race event isn't targetting 99.99% of the people playing this game.

There is no reason to participate, better just play whatever people are already playing.

What's going on in most people heads reading this post is:
- GGG is rubbing this reward in my face while being aware we already gave up before even trying. Feels just like my company I work for bragging about all-times high profits while they keep me at minimum wage.

This event will only make people more angry than anything.

because as a top 5 player in almost every event until now i would get a chance at another demigod item which is now gone as i got 0 experience in poe 2 so far as it was announced as an unifinished game so it shouldn't have events that reward you with items yet as it is unfinished ;)

I'm just confused, is this what PoE 2 needs right now? I guess that's the way to make people replay the campaign over and over ...

I mean, wouldn't you expect them to be bitter after being told the game they enjoy wouldn't have it's development affected/halted but it did?

I like both games, but I think PoE2 needs more time in the oven to bake before I can play it again. When I played bloodmage it's ascendancies didn't work at all (was bugged), then they nerfed what I was playing into the ground and was given no respecs.

I think it'll be a great game someday, but it just needs more time to cook. It was released into early access too early, as strange as that sounds. Leech wasn't tested at all when it went live for example.

That said, GGG should be able to have both games be amazing, I just hope PoE1 doesn't get fully abandoned. It could really use the graphics engine of PoE2 ported over to it.

So this is the reason PoE1 event cannot be longer than one month - PoE2 0.2

Welp that sucks for me I love races but a 4am Monday morning start time is one that I can't make.

probably not released into early access too early but it get's the treatment as if it isn't early access but rather the main game now which is way too early for this

What a let down of an event, grind all the acts again to lose to all the people who can beat the game in like 1 hour???? PASSSSS! It also starts at 12am too so what I quit my job to stay up? Yall can do better this is just flat out lazy.

This is the worst idea possible.

1. The timing. You got a PoE 1 event going on during that time, a lot of PoE 1 players like both games, so some of them would love to jump into this one but won't be able due to the first game's event (which sounds more fun for players of both games imo).

2. The game's performance. It is in a very bad state to make this types of event. Constant crashes and freezes for a lot of people. This could be a winning or losing factor.

3. Only 6 classes. In a game that will have 12 classes, the rules of the event are cutting the possible winners by 50%. This types of events should be done once all classes are available.

4. The multiple entries. The same 6-10 people are going to win if they play in all the races. They know the strats, they know the optimized routes, it is what it is.

5. Low priority of the game state. Instead of focussing on fixing performance issues, balance issues, lack of content, lack of updates. An early access game without real patches for 4 months, what is that?

Don't get me wrong, this types of events are amazing, just not now. There is so much to do before this.
