The decisive feedback at this point of EA: season length is too long

HCSSF player here as well. 3 toons to 90+ so far and there are still a lot of builds to try.

GGG produces leagues and content faster than any other ARPG. Even dismissing Poe1, a new, content-rich expansion every 4 months is faster than every competitor.

I am actually worried that GGG's deadlines are so fast and so frequent that they are going to lose employees. They are essentially in game-launch crunch every 4 months. That must be stressful as hell.

This reality is ultimately why I wanted poe1/poe2 to be the same game, like they originally planned.

In other words, you start the game again and again each 4 months, play for 2 weeks and quit, because there is nothing long-term to do. And to level each character you must spend an equivalent of AAA single player game full completion time. I wonder when POE elitism will die. "Unfinished game" argument doesn't really work here, because POE1 is finished, and good luck having fun playing it until you study PhD amount of content about a video game
POE 2 only seems long because there's almost no game to play.

Just wait 2-3 years and you'll have 2 months of content just like POE 1... Maybe i'm crazy but I don't like the idea that we have to wait 2-3 years for this game to have something to do. 13 years ago they did that with POE 1. This ain't 13 years ago, and this ain't POE 1.

Give us something to do. The game honestly barely has enough content to launch now, let alone a year ago.
3 months was fine.
5 was insanely bad.
I can settle on 4,
but I want an update patch every month. Combat balance included. It's EA, GGG needs to move numbers around gradually, not just throw in a massive changes without fine-tuning.
As long as they bring in mechanics like they did with abyss and making it more than just "things that come up from the ground" like in POE1

but adding a system of crafting behind it
bosses
map mechanics and modifiers


I think we are in good shape for more added mechanics. Just have to get more, but not getting them so basic like azmeri spirits.

They did a real good job adding extra UMPH to abyss compared to what it is in POE1. More stuff like this is welcome

this is the sweatiest nerdiest thread ive ever seen, and i'm a sweatie nerd grinding my way to lvl 100 with a godly build and gear lmao, and i want to continue playing this for a loooooong while, and if next league is not good enough, i will stay in standard; so even if they make new leagues there is no point into playing unless its good enough to motivate us to grind a new character and build.

tl;dr quality > quantity, so nope.

4 months is fine and for poe players its only 2 months. thats when new poe league starts. i'm pretty much done with poe2 league now and in 2-3 weeks poe league launches.
Seasons are meaningless garbage better left in the dustbin of poe1.
