Can we PLEASE play ALL our CURRENT characters on NEW Leagues.

Both Standard and League environments should experience concurrent release of novel content.

Players who like resets have their seasonal sandbox. Standard is for the rest of us that don't enjoy losing our progress. There's no reason to continually exclude Standard players.

The artificial exclusivity of leagues should end.

There are so few standard players that it is not worth splitting them.

Like 6. And you get acts and balances old mechanic. Which is better...

If there's truly so few, then League loses nothing from this change being made.

There are multiple reasons it is done that way and problems would surface if it was done as you ask.

1. Obviously fresh start for fresh league has been the standard

2. Fresh starts allow players to grow with the league mechanic, testing it from lvl 1-100.

3. If an already high level character jumps straight into a new mechanic, they instantly go right to the end which results in one of two things.... The "they didnt add enough here (because you skipped all of it) or the problem of flooding the markets with the new best items from that mechanic. This is an issue because if there is a bug or something you can address it before the items is so widespread or patch an exploit before the entire league is ruined and needs roll backs.

4. If the content went directly there so you can maintain your progress each and every league... you would eventually be lvl 100. What progress is there to be made on that character? Instantly wipe out and invalidate all new content because you are already that strong? It would only lead it back to #3.


I understand why you are asking for it but this game isn't like WoW where a new expansion comes and the level cap rises to allow progression again for max level characters and stuff. The game is not designed that way.

Seriously ask yourself this.... on a character you have already taken tons of time on and made so strong and have all the progression, would you be happy to instantly just kill the new mechanic boss in less than an hour of it being live? You would have fun in this scenario each and every league? (4 months). So every 4 months you log in with this character just to play and hour and beat all the new stuff? That sounds fun?

1. This is irrelevant.
2. The same can be done in Standard.
3. The 'they didnt add enough' falls apart because we're discussing Standard, IE: adding something to Standard will always be more than the current status quo of adding nothing. Why are you worried about Standard's market? It is incapable of touching League's market. You're using talking points that completely miss the mark for the relevant setting of discussion: Standard.
4. This is just personal preference. In what way does that validate excluding active players?


Again: I am fine with Leagues continuing to exist as they are. GGG should also allow players in Standard to experience novel content concurrently.

Reread the thread m8. OP phrased/titled it poorly, but all they are truly asking for is to have concurrent release of novel content in Standard.

This is in itself a contradiction, because new content will affect existing builds, potentially bricking the character he's trying to save.

I am NOT a long time POE player, but this is my ONLY disappointment coming from this game, I enjoy POE2, but I do not have that much time to create a whole new character and spend dozens of hours just to get back to where I was with my original character.

So I ask again, because I also have a few friends of mine following the same logic. Can we please have ALL our characters available to play on the new leagues?

The use case of Standard is exactly your case. You don't want to start again a new character, but you want to play the new version of the game with all new features.


So, play standard.

Some people only play Standard. These players already have to adapt their characters' playstyle every time a patch drops.

There is no contradiction.

Missing the point, OP wants Standard to have concurrent release of novel content.
