If we go from DEC 12 to May 12, thats 151 days. Which is 5 months. Because if late April is the "Showcase" we generally get new league like 1-2.5 weeks later on average.

What happened to 4 month between leagues GGG? Why does PoE2 get 5 months and pushed back dev time?

If my guess is right, and 0.5.0 is may 12th, then were looking at 83 more days, meaning were not even half way through 0.4.0 time period.

Sigh.

That's obvious lil bro. It's because PoE 2 released 1 month earlier than it should, killing PoE 1 league 1 month too soon. If they kept the 4 month cycles in that way, poe 2 leagues would be 3 months long before a new poe 1 league, while poe 1 leagues would be only 1 month long before a new poe 2 league. With a early may release it's back on schedule for 2 month leagues for both if they don't try and pull an early december release again to mess up their schedule.

It's not hard to figure out why.

Disappointing

It's still crazy to see them already talking about 0.5.0 when the current league isn't even over yet.
The investment they're putting into PoE2 is ridiculous. The good times are behind us.
Being loyal to a game unfortunately has no advantage.

So New Zealand's government requires businesses close for an entire week and they mean the whole company. Not just a "vacation or block of PTO" the whole company has to shut down for a week. 90% of the businesses choose to do this time around Christmas as it also is the middle of summer for them as well. They can only have critical staff during this time. And usually companies have to shift around that critical staff. Thus you tend to see a lot of the companies doing a full shut down for a week and a soft shut down for the next. So you get 2 weeks where companies are closed basically.

So need to take 2 weeks out of the time line due to the NZ government forcing companies to close.

Then add on the fact that if they have actually really put in a ton of effort with reworking a massive chunk of the game critical for it's playability. aka no one is really playing POE2 till the end game is adjusted.... They might of needed a week or two here or there to get it ready. So 2 weeks out to the government of NZ and 1-2 week slide because production of games is not concrete.


Lastly... I love how we all fuss that like 8 updates a year from one company is not enough content... Especially when the content is actually meaningful, and isn't we just reskinned the same system again and again... But actual meaningful development. And always for free...

I'm a simple guy:

I see PoE 1 league announcements, I get excited.

I see PoE 2 league announcements, I get excited.

Thank you, guys. Started playing the game 3-4 weeks ago and absolutely loving it. Looking forward to it evolving and expanding. And while waiting for the new content, there is so much to explore.

coll....cant wait

Temple cannot go core, especially with current state.

If you do guess I just flip (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
