POE is my go-to game. I play every league for at least a few weeks at the start, and then again toward the end (mostly to theory craft my build for the next league).
I'm glad POE 1 is going to remain a going concern. I'm also happy to see the release schedule will effectively allow me (indeed, probably encourage by design) to play both in sort of a constant drip of content. Just as one game's league is fading the other game's league releasing. Smart.
I watched the entire Exilecon stream. Kripp had the best streamer play session (which wasn't a surprise). By simply taking 15 minutes to read the skills PLUS finding just a slight upgrade to his weapon, he was able to turn what looked like a massively slowed down experience (which was a common complaint) into the faster pace POE players have come to enjoy.
