HOT TAKE. I am probably the only person in the community who is not excited for 3.26

I agree, am not really too pumped. I was pumped for the last two seasons. But it seems to me, opinion only, that GGG is mainly focused on PoE2 and ThE vIsIoN. PoE feels like it is on the back burner now, which is gut wrenching. I remember when settlers came out I absolutely became consumed in PoE. After work I would shower and play PoE until 1-2 AM then back to work at 6. This went on for weeks until I got a few characters into the 80-90's and comfy mapping.

I liked the season trailer but it is only a trailer, I'm not too impressed with the changes and especially the neutering of HexBlast. I usually level as RF to begin the season but have played Hex Blast in the past and planned to again. But it looks like that is axed.

Just play new miner meta (seems to be Power Siphon mines and Exasnguinate mines)

Nah. You're one of many, mate!


IMHO, it's been a long time since we saw a truly unique skill gem like Toxic Rain. It carried a whole League on its own.


PoE 1 really, really needs new toys we can play with, not just different mechanics of the same old skills.

its just settler again with 0 new skills

I am a long time high volume player and I have to admit my enthusiasm for the new league (and the league start) is almost zero compared to the past. But part of that is the unexpected (by me) high play time of the game the past few months. I loved fiddling around with Phrecia and given my overwhelming amount of currency in Settlers I decided to play this past month just being OP zerg.

Usually I take a month between leagues to recharge.

Anyway, I quickly read the patch notes and didn't find anything interesting, but if the league mechanic is fun I'll be good because the base game is so great. I do wish though that the Atlas passives incorporated the idols like it seemed a natural thing to do.

Four more months of Standard.

So, more of the same or more of the same?

Interesting conclusion.

i'm so excited for next league i love 3xg so much i love mark jonathan he so cool and knowledge

I dont really want to interact with the town at all, i hope there are not challenges tied to it. Also we know how annoying is to play maps layout that you dont like from thanks to poe2.

There's a ton of new skills: Trarthan skills. We don't know exactly how many, but I'm sure its a lot.

It's also an entirely new endgame...although thats tangential to 3.26
