Hi PHXL devs. We need to know and I hope someone will explicitly answer - Are the faction trees temporary?

From 1.6.0 patch-notes:

"Throughout this season, players will get access to two timelines, each one bringing new Hunting Grounds challenges as well as a new seasonal talent trees unlocking unique abilities, starting this patch with the Past and its Perfect Strike ability."

It says "seasonal talent trees" however there is no indication in game that the talent trees are anything but permanent. If these are seasonal and will disappear you need to explicitly tell your players so they don't spend hours and hours farming them and one day log on to find them gone.

If I was a player who spent hours and hours farming fragments to upgrade a done I liked and thought was permanent then logged on to find all my hours of grinding gone without warning I would flat out quit the game. This is a recipe for disaster.

If you are considering removing these trees at the end of the season please reconsider. Many of your players do not read patch notes or reddit and will be shocked to find their work has disappeared. This WILL lose you players. If this is the plan at the very least display this information on the talent tree itself for all players to see.

If I am misinterpreting what you mean by "seasonal talent trees" please let us all know here in plain terms to ease our minds. Thank you.

Plan is not for them to disappear. All of the seasonal activities like Primals, Elders, the talent trees are featured across the islands right now, but will eventually move to a home where anyone can jump if they'd like to.

The abilities will be helpful for defeating the new radiant Behemoth - whether you fight it in 2 weeks or in 2 years.
