Announcing the First Path of Exile 2 Race Event

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.

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

id be happy, remember when they released a video saying they couldnt produce content for both games and that poe1 was going to be on hold until 0.2 got released? then they went back on that like 3 days later? remember? they took that loss just for your fee fees

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.

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.

After 12 years of development and content in a game, I would expect that eventually, a successor would be in the works. GGG made that decision, and it seems like they've been able to achieve significant financial success because of it. My point is, what does it accomplish for PoE1 when people constantly complain about the support for PoE1 in the PoE2 space? It just feels very childish to me.
