PoE2 is ~3 weeks away and I want to be hungry for it. These temp leagues are nice for a little 1 week go if they're crazy cool, but this one is just the equivalent to the same already VERY old league but with bonus drops. I got in and got to maps and got my box, but unless I'm really, really bored I don't want to be doing anything I'd rather be doing in a fresh, new, and hopefully rebalanced January league. It kind of taints the SSF feeling too with the 1200% quant and rarity mods making uniques just shit out everywhere, which is good for people, but true new SSFers will hit a harsher reality come January.

Basically just because the pie is still there, I'm not going to eat it while full.

I hope the PoE2 EA is even half as good as they are hyping it up to be. Will probably wait for some user reviews before I decide to pay for early access.(If I'm lucky I have around 200$ of stash/MTX payments)

Also hoping the delayed new 3.26 will be amazing too, but we will see.

There's not a lot to play in it, it's very much like a new early beta for poe and I think a lot of people are going to be super disappointed when they finish the beta and find out(cause they haven't been keeping track of what's being said about it) that there's no mapping or anything, it's just farming the first few acts with no actual long term goal or anything. I remember enjoying PoE beta a lot back then and there were only 2 acts but that's cause all the character building stuff was so novel and even back then there were tons of skills and supports to use, but I think someone who's been playing PoE1 for years and just live and breath in mass loot speedrun meta shit is going to get whiplash from that.

Yeah, post 3.0 PoE players are probably going to be disappointed. This isn't testing the game as much as it's dipping your toes into the systems. It's going to be figuring out interactions and possible builds, but at the starting to MAYBE mid level. I feel a lot of people are over hyping this shit as PoE 1 is such a stellar product, but it took 5 years for them to even fully release the game, so people need to temper their expectations. Hopefully PoE1 leagues keep hitting on all cylinders to keep the majority happy.
