for having no resources....this event looks enormous

A complete change to the endgame?
19 new ascendancies? Probably a lot more.... It's going to be awesome. BUT Begs the question, if this is what they can do without any kind of manpower.....where is the love for PoE 2?

They said in the announcement they we're pulling from old crazy ideas that never made it to a league.
Just making assumptions here, but likely they had showcases and test pieces for the mechanic already built out from previously and shelved. alot easier to take something that has already been 80% figured out and implement it than it is to design, develop, implement a new concept. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

And they have that random stuff lying around, but NOTHING for PoE 2 after 6+ years of development?

Don't get it twisted, those are ideas from PoE2. We're testing them so they can implement them to PoE2 in some way later one.
GGG are smart and they found a way to give us a PoE1 event without really sacrificing man power from PoE2. The testing of that stuff is now just outsourced to the players. |

" While that is likely true.....its not really the best decision, is it? Approaching 3 months with no new material for PoE 2 and they instead decide to "test" it within PoE 1? That doesn't make sense. That is precisely what EA is for! Starting anew....with PoE 2

Well yeah, never said it was a good thing or not. There's pros and cons for it and everyone has to decide for their own I think.
For me personally, I don't like the approach and especially dislike the more rng nature of the atlas system. It's regression for PoE1. I just said it's a smart decision to seemingly "care" for PoE1 while still doing their thing. It's to shut up the loud noise and trick those people into thinking GGG is working on PoE1 again. |
