🛡️ Small, Slow, Social – Private HC League for PoE 2 (Xbox Focused)

Hello Exiles,

I’m starting a small, long-term private HC league for the current Path of Exile 2 season, and I’m looking for a handful of like-minded players who want something very different from trade league.

This is not a race league.
This is not a “play for two days and quit” league.

This is for players who actually enjoy the parts of PoE that trade league tends to skip.

🔹 League Philosophy

I love:

Finding my own gear

Crafting instead of buying upgrades

Playing off-meta and creative builds

Taking my time with the campaign

Learning systems together instead of rushing to endgame

I’m convinced there are others who feel the same way — and this league is for us.

🔹 What This League Is

Small group (targeting under 10 players)

Private league, running the entire season

Hardcore

Slower-paced, progression-focused

Emphasis on group play, cooperation, and learning

A space to experiment with non-meta builds

A league where crafting and drops actually matter

We’re here to play the game, not skip it.

🔹 What This League Is NOT

❌ Not a race or practice league

❌ Not trade-league-without-trade

❌ Not for people who want to rush to maps and farm endlessly

❌ Not for players planning to quit after a couple days

If your goal is to sprint to the end and optimize currency/hour, this probably won’t be for you — and that’s totally fine.

🎮 Platform & Communication

We play on Xbox

Xbox voice chat is what we use for grouping and hanging out

All players are welcome, regardless of platform, as long as you’re okay with that setup

👥 Who I’m Looking For

Players who enjoy playing together

People interested in learning and experimenting

Those who value community over efficiency

Folks who want a consistent group for the full season

If this sounds like the kind of PoE experience you’ve been missing, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s slow down, build weird things, die to dumb mistakes, and actually enjoy the journey together.
