Kiracs pass in practice casual unfriendly

Heyo!

So, I do think there's some confusion here;

• Kirac's Pass is broadly unrelated to the recent Phrecia 2.0 event. Keepers League began on the 31st of October, and ends next week. Kirac's Pass has, and will be, available for the duration of Keepers. Realistically, the Phrecia event likely should've been ignored.
• You can purchase the paid track of Kirac's Pass at any time - at the time of purchase, any previously earned MTX immediately become available for claiming. There's no need to make speculative purchases ahead of time.
• While GGG aren't great at conveying a lot of this stuff, you're always welcome to ask any questions you have here.

I don't want to be the bad guy here - but I'll be honest. I genuinely do believe you're perfectly capable of earning all of the paid track's rewards from Kirac's Pass, if you check when the next challenge league is set to begin and choose to show up on week one and stick with it as long as it takes.

It's only when we start stacking comparatively limited playtime, choosing not to play for ~half or more of the league, and still getting to grips with the game that things perhaps grow untenable.

But these factors are somewhat exponential with one another - if you're less experienced and thus less efficient with your time, having limited playtime is more punishing, and if in that context you choose not to play for half the league, then... yeah. The deck is stacked against you.

I sincerely do not wish to be unkind - but it might be worth asking yourself if 1) it would make more sense to stick with one game - and, if not, 2) whether you're entirely ready for Kirac's Pass. Because to be blunt I don't think goals that are, realistically, perfectly obtainable for you if you choose to prioritise reaching them should be taken away from others to accommodate your choice not to play for ~half the league and then complain about having run out of time.

It's up to you to decide whether you want to sit out much of a league, and it's up to you whether you want to make purchases that are dependent upon your ability to devote a certain amount of playtime to the league. And in terms of buying Kirac's Pass - like I said, you can wait until the day before the league ends and ask yourself "would I be happy with the rewards I have unlocked?"

I would sympathise and be more inclined to argue in favour of changes if you had started playing soon after Keepers launched, had done everything in your ability to make progress against Kirac's Pass, and come up short. But I don't want the game I play to be changed because you have twice now made a combination of decisions that are distinctly antisynergistic and are seemingly not interested in doing anything differently in future. It is reasonable to ask that the game accommodate your ability. It is not reasonable to ask that the game revolve round your personal circumstances and decisions.


tl;dr: The design of Path of Exile should not ultimately revolve around someone who is broadly unintereted in playing it. That is not fair on those of us who mainly or exclusively play PoE 1.

If you want to succeed at something you cant quit after a couple of failures. This game takes years to learn to play "effectively" Especially if you dont have the time to keep up with youtube crap.

I got lucky an old friend from WoW liked to keep an eye on all of the new stuff in poe while i was first starting to play and he taught me 99% of everything i learned the first couple years.

If its of low value to you dont buy the battle pass until you can reliably get 30+ challenges in the league. If you're still struggling you can join a guild that may have people that will share challenges with each other. Or at the very least explain to you how to obtain them yourself. Most everyone in my guild is between 35-50 years old outside of a couple 25 or so year old kids.

Just don't give up because of challenges/kiracs pass. It took me multiple leagues to start chasing challenges and now that i do it gives me a lot of work to complete once i have most of the builds i want to play settled.

If you can't find a guild, reach out to me and you can join us. We usually start in a private league for 10 days or so and i go to hc or hcssf but 4-5 guildys usually continue on in sctrade and sometimes i do myself if i want to play a build with saviour. (its unobtainable reasonably in hc.) The guys do the weird challenge trading that require multiple different atlas trees to get one challenge done.

Challenges may be hard, but there is a reason they're called challenges, also you have several months to do. Please, don't ask to make them easier as it'd be diminishing of the 'prestige' of doing all the challenges each time. A lot of people care.

The kirac pass itself is absolutely trivial, doing all the maps should be a process that takes you a week at most, which it's my time playing 1-2h day. Follow a build guide if you're new.

You can easily complete all your maps without doing a bunch of trading, the bonus objective for white maps they need to be blue, yellow maps need to be rare, and red maps need to be rare and corrupted.

If you're dying doing corrupted rare maps you can augment alt until you have an easy mod, regal, then vaal it for a 2 mod corrupted rare map.
