Announcing the First Path of Exile 2 Race Event

GGG please seperate the game forums, some POE 1 players dont seem to care about POE 2 and why would they. I dont play POE 1 and dont care about there events also.

To new POE 2 players like myself this event sounds great except unfair for casuals, but most really dont care its just a helmet. People seem angry not at the event itself but the feeling their game is in the process of being neglected (or already is, just a opinion).


Time to log in and grind, good gaming all.

Sounds fun, but personally would prefer this being hardcore. The penalty isn't sufficient to punish 100% glass cannon builds.

HC would also mean that the pro-streamers don't necessarily win, as they might die (the race would actually be a tradeoff between survivability and damage).

This way it would be much more inclusive to the player community.

One month until 0.2 content update?

Holy f devs, you are really letting all the hype die around poe 2.

All my friends already stopped playing and following this game.

In one month they wont even care what kind of content update you release.

This is not how you should handle an early access game, especially not one that you charge $$ to access.

That event sound great for casual ???
Do you realise what this event actually is for casual ? Normal play of Act 1-3 in SSF mode. Period. Not a single thing different than just normal play of Act 1-3 in SSF mode AND you are frozen for one minute each time you die. So it's even a worse experience...

That's worse than a non-event, that a fart in the general direction of 99% of player base.

That's a "we know you want us to work on 0.2.0, fix crash, fix economy, fix balance, but we will rather work on an event to mobilise the streamer so we could get a good publicity and con more people to buy the EA. We dont care what you want and need, we never did."

Nice!

Nice!

how about an actual event that offers content? Nobody wants to race against no life streamers whose job is to play poe for 300 hours a month. cmon GGG

It says "First to Beat Doryani in Act 3"

That does not take 300 hours, for anyone. Not even you.

Fix the game first.

Yeah, great, an event for 0.01% of people... Personally, I'm not even gonna try this shit.

I don't understand why you don't do things like this for "objectives" that need to be met and when met there is a reward, and with the demigod helm when all objectives are met (for example). That way even people who go to work and aren't that skilled at "rush" leveling would be rewarded and you would make them happy... Instead you do this.

Huge thumbs down for me.

But only people that play more than 300 hours a month have any chance at winning this event, because you need the training, knowledge and skill.

And if you have no chance to win then the event is just : "Play SSF up to act 3 with a new character with a timeout each time you die for no reward nor peculiar reason." So, basically more of a nerf than even a non-event.
