Do players play POE after leagues end?
The notion of playing PoE (or any other game) constantly, without pause, is silly. You'll burn out. Even though I take frequent breaks from the game, I always come back, either because a new challenge league has actually inspired me to play, or for race season. Otherwise, PoE is something I can pick up any time.
Speaking of racing, that's another facet of this issue. Aside from the inescapably repetitive nature of racing, it can be a refreshing change of pace, and the prizes dun hurt, either. I was skeptical when the first void League formats were implemented (after all, who wants to play, only to forfeit all their loot?), but are now some of my favorites. =^[.]^= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/

" I felt the same way. The descents are now my faves too ^_^. Also, you're already at 125 pts this season?! Holy shit, GZ man!!! Don't forget to drink your milk 👌

Only play the temporary leagues. Minimum 1 week leagues for my taste :)

most poe players are in standard league.
they play temp leagues and always come back to standard. ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ Another day in path of plenty.

Never played standard, never will. The rhythm of temp leagues is perfect for me, I reach 85-90lvl with few characters/builds, and at this point I am already bored with the game. At this point I'll focus on other stuff and then come back for new temp leagues.

It's a great time/place to try wild ideas between leagues. I'll often use an old respec character to explore key-nodes that I might not be able to reach in regular league play.
Playing in the sandbox is the thing I've always loved most about PoE. :) |

I only play Standard.
On a few occasions I've seen something in a temp League that looked interesting. In those cases I would level a character to 40 or 50 or 60 to check it out. But I have no interest in spending dedicated time in a temp League. Standard is always busy. And anything good in a temp League will get added to Standard after the temp League ends. Level Masters in a temp League? Uh.. NO. Last edited by Qiox on Jul 29, 2015, 7:43:19 PM

" Even though I only play temp leagues, I gotta agree with u on that one. Leveling masters to 7/8 again is painful and slow. | |
Standard is always full of players. I love playing in Standard; I feel I have the most flexibility there to create the builds I want to play. Since I only get to play a handful of hours per week, its also the only way I can build any sort of wealth. Everything but the most cherished unique or gg rares are dirt cheap, so I can usually afford gear to experiment with.
When a new league starts, I usually play the SC league for a few weeks, if only to see if I can pick up a few decent items to sell before everybody levels so high they don't ant any of the crap I want to sell. Before too long I get bored and want to revisit my toy in standard, and I always end up back there before too long. I've already given up on Warbands. Having to re-level masters is a real pain. - here's my sig
