A little sad to not be amongst the winners, but good job to every one ! Plant Druid Against the Werewolves in The Grelwood by Balzemohr goes especially hard, definitely my favourite.	Posted by D_Loord#2106 on Feb 16, 2026, 5:40:12 PM Quote this Post

Hey GGG. Could you add this song to hideout music playlist ?: Breach x Keepers of the Flame - Drum & Bass Remix. I need this badly !!!	Posted by Yashub#4163 on Feb 16, 2026, 6:49:23 PM Quote this Post
Congrats to all!	Posted by Zuzanne#5313 on Feb 16, 2026, 6:58:08 PM Quote this Post
At least 4 entries don't meet the competition requirements (be in the The Last of Druids or Keepers of the Flame leagues). Specifically, the Vaal Orb Keycap (this orb was added back in 0.1, not to mention how easy it is to use a 3D printer). Crochet (a long-standing monster). The Crowbell (a boss introduced back in 0.1). Baby Brutus Pet (a pet introduced over a year ago). Were there really so few entries that we had to accept those that didn't meet the requirements? What's the point of these requirements if they can be ignored? Then it was possible to nominate art with Zana. I didn't expect to see myself included. I'm not even upset for myself, but for the other participants whose work went unnoticed. Well... Congratulations... my hideouts - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3228515	Posted by moonretealoud#1487 on Feb 16, 2026, 10:54:56 PM Quote this Post

I completely agree with the comment above. Many of the proposed candidates seem illogical and absurd. And this is repeated over and over again. Well... Congratulations...	Posted by vvvv#2079 on Feb 17, 2026, 12:24:26 AM Quote this Post
