Race Season During Prophecy League

We've received a number of emails asking us to clarify whether we're running a race season during the Prophecy League. As you know, we didn't run one during Perandus because we were really busy. We ran a two-week league (awarding Demis) instead, which wasn't an ideal replacement for many players.

While our race improvements are not yet ready, players have told us that it's better to run a normal season than to have no season. We agree.

We are going to run a race season during the Prophecy league. We don't have a start date yet, but will post in the news as soon as we do. There will be at least two weeks of notice before it starts.

Our intention is to theme the prizing around Amulets so that the alternate-art unique item awards are a selection of Path of Exile's most interesting Amulets (or Talismans!). This theming reduces the requirement of creating 3d artwork for many items, which was one of the blockers for us starting a season.

We will try very hard to avoid skipping race seasons in the future. Our racing community is very valuable to us and we have let you down by not having a race season for several months. Future race seasons will hopefully have more resources allocated to item creation, new event types and the systems improvements that we've previously discussed.

We haven't put together the schedule or event composition for this season yet. If you have feedback on what type of events you'd like to see, this is the thread to post it.

More information about this will be posted in the news in the coming weeks when it's ready!
