We are probably talking about a 1-3 days only maximum for the first kill. I know some standard player will downvote this but I honestly feel this is beneficial to the entire community as a whole with the excitement of a "world first" feeling.

I used to be a WoW gamer and quit many expansions ago but I still tune in for world first kill of each expansion even if I dont play anymore.

It also make the event even more ethical since people cant buy practice run of the new bosses (with existing standard currency or even RMT if on a new PoE account). The whole point of making this HCSSF and no account sharing is to have the most even playing field.

If this is not possible I understand but it do feel like a lot of people share this opinion on most PoE streams.


Edit: I guess the new bosses would need to be locked out of all leagues outside the event for like 48h, guess the community can decide if its worth it, I still think this would make this event so much more memorable -- though I understand the impact for the 0.01% of the community who will reach those bosses in this timeframe.

Edit2: Some people are reporting me to the reddit suicide prevention watch or something, let's not be childish guys, we all love the same game in the end.

We understand the benefits that this would have for the race event, but there are several hundred thousand Standard players who are looking forward to being able to fight the new bosses. We do not feel that delaying their access just to improve the race event is a fair thing to do.
