Not any time soon. There are a few reasons for this - for example, Legacy League was designed when we had four acts and three difficulties. It would essentially need to be remade for current day Path of Exile and we would have to incorporate three years of leagues into it as well. Additionally, most of those leagues already exist as part of the core game rendering the initial idea somewhat (although not entirely) moot.
Legacy was nowhere near the best league...

There does seem to be a fair amount of people who like it but sorting through and using all three leaguestones for each map just got annoying. I think today we would like it even less. It was, more or less, like adding scarabs.. is (multiple but toned down) scarab league what you want?

Think about using three rusted scarabs in one map, instead of one, and removing any current league mechanic.. that's what you get. Legacy league isn't coming back, we already have most of it implemented into our every day game.

I would hope we see a Legacy-like League then. I enjoyed having control over what encounters I'd face. Something with similar mechanics, but not focused on old content perhaps.
I think it'd be good for the long term health of the game to have Ancient Reliquary keys as a super rare, permanent league exclusive drop that gets updated as more items are nerfed. Even though the Subreddit likes to shame standard players, people who like permanent progression in RPGs do exist even among those newer to the game. And having the best uniques on standard just keep going up in price forever with no upper limit is not healthy. If Ancient Reliquary keys dropped say, 100 times rarer than Exalted Orbs, there would be some sort of upper limit to the items from them even if a very high one.
I could foresee Reliquary Keys being included in some form outside of a Legacy League. Although, I'm not aware of any explicit plans at the moment.
Glad to hear it's at least a possibility. Standard is a niche play style but if someone does choose it, it's weird that a huge upgrade for a character like instant life leech exists but is "almost" unobtainable.
Basically it's the equivalent of a painting from 100 years ago that the richest people in the game buy to lock in a safe because it will be worth even more in another year and it's much better to have than "money" (exalts/mirrors).
Of course price fixing happens anyway but it's a huge psychological difference even if something drops once a year instead of zero times.
omg bex ? the legend the myth? holy crap its a honor to have you reply....
its not that i was wondering if they will incorporate legacy league as a whole just have a way to obtain relic items again yes i agree that adding the league stones to the game as well as the overall league mechanic would be to say the least counterproductive i just think it would be great to actually get the old stuff again as many players dont/havent had the opportunity to even get relic items without price fixing setting the overall standard for most of these items as mirror worthy i want to ask your opinion of some thing also what if (big if) they had a leauge for three months as like a reflection of the old days (im talking the days when you could use warcys with cwdt etc like remove all the previous nerfs like double dipping etc ) i know this isant exactly the right approach but most of the newer player base dosent know the struggle most of us normal players went through during the early days of poe idk just shooting ideas

but again it was a honor to have you reply bex!!!!


They added a better legacy league into the core game via Scarabs.
That's the sad reality of how things are handled with this game. They have you get used to or condition you to a league mechanic for 3 months and with Legacy even more than that because it was prolonged and then you have what is years of the community who grew to enjoy that content asking when it will be back. Had they figured out how to balance it in the game correctly in the first place none of this would be an issue. And then you have people actually defending this behavior... It's not like Legacy offered that much if you reflect on it, but just the mechanic of being able to get keys to unlock a chest including something truly special feels unique at least about the game and them taking it away just feels like a cop-out for putting in the work for making the content go core.

I mean seriously, who can you name in the industry that does this much cutting of content? And it all piles up over time the more they try to do it. Or they tell you they "brought back" the content when it's nothing as it was originally so it's not even the same content anymore, yet they want you to feel that it is and be content with it. Very depressing when you think about it, most other game companies at least honor people's time and investment into the content they ended up enjoying when it comes to stuff like this.
