No mandatory economy reset for 0.2

[Perfection]

I personally dislike it as it divides the player base which causes all sorts of issues in the economy but who wants to play on Standard with all the ridiculous inflation? This is only good if you play SSF. Overall a questionable decision from GGG.

Still, I hope most people still choose to play with the new servers and enjoy the economy reset.

first they nerved the diversity for elementalists and didn't nerved other classes that much. Every one was grinding super hard to get the same content and clear speed compared to a monk and now ggg says: No we dont like that, we nerv elemarists again until no one is playing that class :D

Ps: And the Nidale (league of legends) champ is just a joke :D

just want to clarify.. nerved = Nerf/nurf , yeah?

yeah thanks for pointing that out my friend

Some of you are misunderstanding what I meant with the post. All I'm saying is, the league cycle works in these type of games for a reason.

Continuing with already existing characters (let's forget that they're all gonna break due to balance changes and the Standard economy is ♥♥♥♥♥♥) is just not fun for most people.

If you're a new player to the ARPG scene you deserve a better onboarding experience. Leveling up fresh in a new economy is the way to go.

GGG should have forced it. I know they will in the future and didn't this time because the content drop wasn't substantial enough. Still a mistake.

If you're a "giga casual" and only play a few short hours per week you're genuinely playing the wrong type of game. You'll never make any meaningful progress before everything breaks when the next patch comes... Single player only RPGs are astronomically more fun and better suited for someone like that.

But if you still, somehow, enjoy the Standard experience in POE I mean more power to you. I don't mean to say you're having fun wrong.

I think you misunderstand that even in POE 1 you always had the option to not do League with everyone else. On top of that there is SSF. After League is done, all that stuff and characters join everyone else in the base game. Nothing has changed about how the economy works in this regard.

It's NEVER been mandatory.

For EA the process is actually being reversed (and they're making a small exception for the first jump into a new league.

The difference is normally the chars go from a 'league' into Standard, but this time, we've effectively been playing 'Standard' and all the chars, gear and currency will go into a EAL1 (EA League 1) league FOREVER.

We will then be able to play EAL2 (v0.2.0) with new chars, new currency, new gear (and all the stuff that's being added), however instead of the new 'league' content just being for EAL2 chars, ALL the NEW stuff will also be made available to the EAL1 chars as well.

------------------------

What they've said is that in future (v0.3.0), they will NOT provide the new content. EAL1 and EAL2 will effectively be set aside and people can just play their EAL1 and EAL2 chars if they want...but they won't get access to the new content. They won't get deleted, but they will just live in the 'economy' of either EAL1 or EAL2. (Or perhaps they'll decide to merge those two).

Once v1.0 is released, that will be the first 'real' league, and then it will start to follow the normal cadence - league chars and content, merging back into Standard once the current league finishes, and people can either play all their Standard chars, or start a new one in a new league.

In POE 1, the latest League content is only available on the league servers and that's it. After a league ends, it sometimes goes core aka gets added to Standard league in a, commonly, toned down kinda way.

Yes, the newest content is only available on the fresh servers. Eventually, the best stuff, or rather the stuff that works out the best gets ported to the standard servers.

You can choose to make new characters every 4 months. Or wait for content to trickle down every 4 months.

What I said is 100% truth.

People still play on standard on POE1 all the time, inflation and everything, it's a good test bed since you can min max to your hearts content with ridiculous amounts of money accrued over several seasons/leagues

It's good to keep it separate.

The game has been trash since launch months ago. I decided to nerf them and deleted the game and reclaimed over 100 gigs of space.

Now I have lots of free time to pursue other things.
