Hello all,
With PoE2 .2 Dawn of the Hunt Releasing soon, two large changes are coming to the PoE2 speedrun leaderboards. Previously, we have not strictly required a migrate all in PoE2 due to (1) migrate all not working for first month or so of PoE2 and (2) there being limited leagues to migrate into without having ability to easily create more accounts (because EA costs money to access), so we did not want players to have to constantly reset any progress in a league they might have been making otherwise. As a result of (2), we also did not strictly require playing in an SSF variant league to allow individuals ability to not full reset their progress within those leagues.
However, now that .2 is adding seasonal leagues for its duration, so the total amount of leagues will increase from 4 to 8, both migrate all and the SSF variant requirement will be in full force. This means you must migrate all before a run AND you must play in an SSF variant league (whether its standard SSF, league SSF, league SSFHC, and so on). Failure to comply with either of these two rules will result in a run being rejected. As this a change from last patch .1, mods will as a matter of grace/leniency will still review and verify the first run submitted by a player in .2 if these two requirements are missing, but all others are satisfied. In such a case, a mod note will be placed on the run letting the player know of the new requirements and indicating that further runs will be rejected if the new requirements are not met.
Beyond those two rules being in full force, with the new league/major patch, we will have new leaderboards for .2 Dawn of the Hunt.
Finally, there will be a 10-day embargo on run submissions from the start of the league on the 4th of April, so we will not accept/verify runs until after the 14th. You are more than welcome to still do runs during this period and they will count for verification purposes, but they will not be verified/left pending until the patch embargo window ends.
Thanks everyone for participating in .1 leaderboards as we've had over 100 runs which is pretty awesome. Looking forward to seeing what everyone cooks in .2 with the balance changes, new skills, and classes!
Quick update: Any lingering/outstanding runs from 0.1 will be accepted during embargo as embargo is only for 0.2 runs. Huntress will be added to classes once embargo is up
