The Last of the Druids Race Event Starts Soon

Mirage was cool but we're patiently waiting for endgame rework in poe2. What we NEED is implementation of modern upscalers and frame gen. Current supported versions are FSR 2 and DLSS 3.

It will be nice to see RaizQT again! Also, congrats Angormus!

I just want idols for PoE 2...

Hi I’m a casual gamer but I was going to try this race. Will I achieve anything just for trying this? Or is this only for the professionals?

What a st.upid announcement. If the new update is gonna be this big we are all screwed :D .. Temple getting buffed for the streamers :D . economy and the league dead in 7 days :D

YES

was 2am and been sleeping while replied - starting soon was posted in the night

and yea timers are different:
Race 1: Mar 29, 2026 9:00 PM (GMT+2)
Race 2: Apr 05, 2026 10:00 PM (GMT+2)
Race 3: Apr 12, 2026 10:00 PM (GMT+2)

Let's talk numbers: The number of racers in this game is about same handful of players every race. However, not every racer wants to race in poe2 cuz it's much newer & slower. Question: who cares about the races other than same few people?

Here is something to think about other way around; I played poe1 for many seasons now but I never got faster in any way; If anything, the more I practice the slower I get. Furthermore, when new season starts, by the time I reach act6 in poe1 someone already done 4 voidstones. How sustainable is this idea?

In general, I don't even understand what are you trying to do here? If poe2 is pre-alpha then what is the racing about? So when official release comes are we going to have same handful "elite racers" & the rest of the average plebs like myself?

Nope. Only the top of each class and top overall get something.

Been asked about since the start but devs have been radio silent. I don't understand why since poe1 races used to have a participation prize. So you could get a cool skin and the leaders got fancier versions or something.
