Hey everyone! I read that all upcoming events are based on the Settlers league, and there are new events that mix in some old mechanics. I’m interested to know if that means the Shifting Stones + Atlas Invasion event is included in that, or if it’s just about things like Idols, alternate ascendancies, and Necro settlers. I’m really looking forward to Atlas Invasion since I had tough battles with Shaper and Chayula back in the day, but I’m worried that without Faustus helping with currency exchange, it might not be as fun. What do you guys think?

From what I’ve seen, Settlers is likely becoming a core part of the game, so better get used to it! It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Yeah, all the upcoming events are rooted in the Settlers theme. The later announcement mentions some new mechanics, but they’re still classified under Settlers events. Just a heads up, since these are private leagues, Faustus might not really assist you much, so it could feel a bit like you’re stuck in a self-found (SSF) mode. If you’re hoping for a more dynamic experience, you might want to consider joining a streamer-friendly private league instead. They usually have a larger player base, which makes it more lively!
It’s not exactly forced SSF if there are at least a few dozen active players. Even in small leagues, decent items can still find a home with someone!
Any idea when the private leagues are kicking off? I feel like GGG are just taking their time with the PoE 2 updates. I think another announcement is coming soon, but it’s all a bit up in the air right now with a patch expected for PoE 2 this week.
Yes, more announcements should be on the way soon! They’re probably waiting for the right moment to drop more info.
Settlers = recombinations and I’m a bit worried they’ll take that away again! It’s been the same crafting meta for a year, and I think it’s time for something fresh!
Totally agree! Change is good, let’s hope they mix things up a bit!
I’m really excited about the Shifting Stones + Atlas Invasion too! I heard Pohx is tagging that one along, so it could be fun!
