Next Expansion Timeline

Kind of sad to see a lot of the replys. Sure I would like to see the league earlier too but nice to see you take your time to make it right. Thanks for the early update as well.
Eh, guess I can finally take a break from PoE after a decade. I've done the earlier events but the last two are just the normal game with some extra spice and Scourge might be my least favorite league ever. Yes, even less than Turbo league or whatever the "Monsters are 20% faster" was. At least the other weaker leagues were either pretty inconsequential and/or easy to ignore.
Enjoy your vacations and the summer. I rather wait longer for more polished/finished content. Maybe you'll finally see the light of the 4 month cycle. And please, don't "waste" too much on hard mode, the game is fractured and complex enough already. I'm all for more private league mods though that do whatever you had in mind.
... is not a troll
Thanks for the update GGG. I rewatched some of the now older POE 2.0 preview videos earlier today. It would be nice to hear about 2.0 progress if you can share. I am also hopeful that you decide to share news about 3.17 bit by bit like you used to.

Thanks for a great game and Happy New Year!
Rest and recuperation is important for creative and technical stuff to make the do good. Terrible grammar aside, enjoy it and have a great time!

If the new season will be delayed two weeks, could the events be stretched a bit longer? At least the non-competitive parts of them. I'm enjoying myself. :)

100% they're going to launch the new expansion and have a ton of half finished content.


Classic.


I thought that is exactly the reason why they are delaying 3.17. So it does come out in tip top shape. 3.17 is a very important expansion in terms of player happiness and new endgame content. Last two big patches weren't received so well (3.15 nerf's and 3.16 lackluster league) so another flopping patch would be kinda rough.

The three months league cycle is pretty hardcore as it is, with the quality that is expected these days and just the sheer size and depth of the game. I don't know how their schedule works but imagine programming a new league mechanic, balance it for the campaign and endgame, maybe create some boss fights, design new uniques and skill gems and tinkering with the passive tree while not completely breaking the overall balance of the game. Not to mention the corona related issues within the company and work enviroment.

I believe that is why we are having a few leagues and patches in a row now that weren't optimal.

I rather wait a few weeks longer for a new league than getting undercooked content. Good quality production takes time, it can't be mass produced by an AI like some material thing.

The only 'bad' thing is that we are stuck a little longer with Scourge League of all things.
HYPE !
Bad Seed
At least yall pushed those core packs out early! Gotta hit those Q4 numbers before dropping the bad news amiright lol.

You're seeing these responses because lately they've had delays and unforeseen issues repeatedly and even after having these problems the league is still only half ready.

Problem is they need to be upfront about that being the problem rather than just set expectations and repeatedly fail to deliver. As a consumer it isn't our job to expect delays because the scope of the content is too large. It's there job to manage expectations.


I made a post that Chris Wilson had made a verbal commitment to do more community engagement just 3 months ago and has even failed to do that.
No problemo .

Thanks for an other year of great gaming and some awesome seasons of poe .
At the moment i'm really enjoying the atlas event bosses lurking around every corner AND some nice drops of loot for ones no need for tiresome waiting for trading more gaming less trade more of that please .
Dare i say it ok yes i really enjoy this more than the last league witch was fun for me also so nothing wrong there.
As for the gap to fill please prolong the events they are awesome !!.
On a side note other game releases as mentioned by some here are nothing to change a expansion date for please don't take that route just bring us the good stuff when its done .
As a good example lost ark will not even be released in the Netherlands and Belgium for the heavy gambling part of the game in form of loot boxes .

keep up the good work have a nice break and come back fresh .
greetings from the Netherlands

Daan :)
