Why is GGG Stopping Phrecia?
|
With no new PoE content until at least June, why on Earth are you stopping Phrecia League? If you were just migrating the Phrecia characters along with their ascendancies, that would be one thing, but removing them completely? Those ascendancies are the only new content since the start of Settlers.
Please keep Phrecia until next League and new content. The Private Leagues do not offer any or very limited trade and are not an alternative. Surely you don't want the only real option for ARPG enthusiasts to be LE? Extend Phrecia till 3.26 please, for the love of gaming. Last bumped on Apr 24, 2025, 9:13:55 PM

Totally agree....there is so much more I want to do with my existing characters and items and wealth. All of that goes poof in 3 days, while "new" PoE material is 2 months away at least.
Does it even cost them anything to keep it running? Nothing new is replacing it. They expect everyone to fall back to normal settlers? or worse....standard? Starting anew....with PoE 2

extend until next league |

" Just know that you and all those who share that sentiment regarding standard are part of the problem. Phrecia should continue until 3.26 (if we ever get it that is), but you league sheeple need to stop debasing standard and it's players. Never forget the Alt Qual Gem deletion, the Ex > Div swap and loss of various crafting methods.
Revive Metamorph/Crucible. Refine Sentinel/Kalandra content. Bring back legacy modifiers/values. If you're someone who blindly hates on Standard and its players, you are part of the problem. |

" lol....what an "uninformed" (for lack of stronger language) opinion and attack. Standard has been broken for about 10 years. Standard has been unsupported and continuously in decline since long before even 3.0. And you write that only because I said standard is worse than settlers. It quite literally is. There are far less players, the economy is totally shafted, everything costs 10-100x more than within a league, and there are items that completely invalidate ALL builds. So when Phrecia ends, if it has to end, I would much rather be dumped back to Settlers over Standard. At least there, I can still afford to start new characters and buy things. Standard is quite literally the graveyard of PoE. And it is quite literally, by all meaningful metrics, the WORST place to play in PoE 1. That is....unless you already have the broken items. People who play in standard can continue playing in standard, that doesn't make it any less than the worst, most unsupported garbage "mode" the game has to offer. I have played since the beta. I have had hundreds of mirror-tier characters in standard. I have amassed enough wealth to buy anything I want. But I have also been through: 1) exalt to divine switch that erased nearly a decade of wealth, 2) constant nerfs to existing builds/character/ascendancies/tree that erased entire characters, 3) massive MASSIVE inflation with continuous flooding of mirror items and wealth from leagues, and much much more. Better to just delete characters than continue them in standard, it is literally a waste of time. Keep trying to say people with my opinion are "Part of the problem". Standard is what standard is: a broken, unsupported, graveyard of decades of PoE nonsense. Just play what you want to play, but don't pretend it can be "fixed" or GGG will suddenly start to "care". The game is far too old for that to ever change. Starting anew....with PoE 2 Last edited by cowmoo275#3095 on Apr 21, 2025, 1:11:19 PM

" I have to disagree with your characterization of standard as a graveyard. Graveyards still have significance to people. Standard league is a landfill. |

" lol, well there are plenty that have their "in memoriam" items and characters stored in standard. Starting anew....with PoE 2

becaus a lot of people left poe 2 due to reasons, then more left due to last epoch and torchlight, stop temp leagues and they gain some traction back to poe 2, handfulls of players will play private leagues. no incentive for streamers to host private league at this point also

" This makes no sense.....they left PoE 2 due to "reasons", and then left because of other games. But for some reason, stopping a temporary league in a completely different game that already has few left playing is going to fix this? Your thinking is totally backward. If there is no new content planned for another two months, removing the newest content is NOT going to suddenly bring people back lol. It's going to do the opposite. If you really truly think people are going to suddenly jump into private leagues in large numbers simply because Phrecia ends.....you obviously haven't been around PoE that long. Leagues exist because they attract new players. Standard and other "permanent" modes are awful because they actively DETRACT new players (and old players). Normal settlers is going on 10 months old now, its practically "standard", with the numbers to match. Meanwhile, Phrecia is only about 2 months old. Sure...it has still experienced burnout, but it is still the new shiny toy to keep at least SOME players around before 3.26.

Maybe poe2 players wouldn't have left if the game wasn't mind numbingly boring. I only care about that dumpsterfire because it pretty much killed POE1. Phrecia is probably deleted tomorror and not a single lukewarm fart about it in the news. Is there a single person left working on poe one's upkeep at all?
