[sp]They haven't made a decision yet.[/sp]
So next league is going to be some kind of flashback-like league?

I think it's more like they think that Breach turned out well and they look forward to see how it will work as a part of the core game(Whether it be Zana mod, maps only or content wide) and not hinting towards a legacy/flashback league.
I assume you're referring to this part:
[quote="Qarl"]
We look forward to seeing players interacting with Breaches, in some form, in the upcoming 2.6.0 league, and going forward from 3.0.0 onwards.

Breach was definitely one of the better leagues in the game, I'm very glad about how it ended up being.
I'm hoping for a cold channeling spell, possibly some narrow but long range cone. I feel like trying a Cast while Channeling build, but I don't want to use Wither or Scorching Ray.

I was referring to this:
[quote]This leaves us the questions of how should it be available. Randomly in the world, or only from Maps? From Zana? As a sextant mod? By some other means? How common should it be?
When we ask these questions, the general answer we have is, we don't need to decide this all just yet, [b]due to the nature of the 2.6.0 league.[/b] We'll try a few changes there, and see how they play out, and then work out the detailed plan of Breach integration for when 3.0.0 comes out.

Makes it sound like the 2.6.0 league is going to be some kind of flashback league if they don't need to decide on how to implement it in the core game yet.

I hope it's not [i]literally[/i] a flashback league though. Maybe like Tempest but with leagues?

I can't see them doing a 3 month flashback, It would honestly be godawful. But yeah, Tempest/Warbands style league where different league mods affect different zones and maps at different times. It makes sense, since back in Tempest/Warbands, people had to rely on 3rd party tools in order to hunt down the good Tempests and Warbands. Now, with the introduction of the map atlas, it would be viable to not only show which zones are affected by what, but also which maps.
Warbands/Tempest had so much promise, it's just that the game wasn't very accommodating for that type mechanic back then and it made the entire experience a chore.
Isn't the 2.6 & 3.0 announcement on tuesday?

Note: Ziggy said on Reddit that he meant Wednesday NZ time (Which is Tuesday for most places), not actually tomorrow.
I hope they make breach a regular map mod instead of a zana mod... by the time I can afford run zana mods I'm usually burnt out already.
I'm hoping Breaches will be a normal thing, just very rare. Then allow maps to have "increased chance for breaches" or "guaranteed 1/2 breaches in this map" mods.
also hope Breach is part of the core game, and not as a Zana mod. also hoping they add prophecies/sextants for breaches e.g. a breach with a guaranteed boss spawn
Breaches are a really fun mechanic, but goddamn are they scary sometimes.
I think they should either have the same rarity as essences, or just be a map mod you can roll for. Putting it in as a zana mod doesn't make much sense to me, and just makes it more annoying to get them.
I hope they reduce the effect clutter when they add breaches into the main game.

holy fucking nutballs. Nightmare wasn't enough, so the Exile's going to go after [sp]the fucking gods.[/sp]
[I]five [/I]acts in one expansion.
:jawdrop:
Ten acts is pretty crazy, even if Acts 6-10 are very similar to Acts 1-5 it'll make the leveling process so much more interesting
fucking 10 acts.
Think of how the meta's going to be shaken up once Pantheon comes out.

ZiggyD is previewing Act 6.
thank you papi wilson for this bounteous gift of content information
hopefully the acts are good enough to shut people up who are still complaining about xbax taking resources away from the game

Nah, without the Xbox one release we would have received act 5-20.

And the removal of normal difficulty too, because let's face it, it was holding us back
jesus
that's way more than I had hoped for or expected
Looks like Im getting a supporter pack.
Goddamn, good job GGG. I would have never expected them to actually pull off something like this.
In addition to my hype for the expansion I can't wait to see what the devs will have in store for us after this as well. Chris already promised that development is going to continue for PoE far into the future.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, on one side I'm excited for all of the new acts but on the other side I hope they aren't revamped zones of earlier areas.
+1 for bonewheel skeletons!!

ZiggyD's video already said that the devs are going to make the revisits feel like an entirely new act, visiting places we never visited before.

Oh I see, I'm holding off on spoiling myself with 3.0 stuff aside from the official trailer.
