"Regarding the absence of a formal race season, Chris explains:

We're currently working on the new 2.5.0 league (for December) and our largest-ever expansion, 3.0.0, which will be released next year. To hit these deadlines, we have decided not to put development resources towards new race technology yet. Despite Path of Exile's popularity increasing with each release, our race season attendance has been getting worse season after season. We are confident that improvements like asynchronous racing will solve this, but the time is not now. I am very sorry to the racing community. I understand that a weekend of races isn't a perfect replacement for an entire ranked season with new prizes, but hopefully it's enjoyable and enough to scratch the racing itch for many players. I'm also sorry about not communicating this earlier, but we only made the call recently (with much internal debate) and wanted to make sure we had some events planned as a replacement. "

Wow... that is a lot to deliver. I honestly don't know what they could do to revamp the game compared to ascendantcy and atlas.

What we know is it'll bring Act 5 and it will get rid off cruel difficulty.

Like ... at least not fuck it up again. At this point I'd be happy if just nothing would break and no additional major balance issues would occur.

i think maybe you are confusing largest with best

largest to me means that new areas are more than previous acts, some more uniques and skills/supports(more than previous expansions) new monsters...that's fairly easy to do.

They also hinted at something big that hasn't been done before.

And I'm just here casually waiting for new permanent minions

I hardly believe they will deliver, unless by largest-ever expansion means largest-ever content gating, cause so far (ie from 2.0 onwards) GGG rather failed in providing anything but that
