Thanks for the motivation bro @Fubgun
Replying to @GuyThatDied
Bro you cant even win a race with 1k on the line, you won what 2 races in total? 3x less than angormus? In fact you only have any relevancy because none of the good path of exile 1 players even want to race in poe2. Good luck bud, because you're going to need it. You should lock into your practice instead of protecting your mirror team.

Exilecon was once again such a special opportunity to connect with the players. It’s incredible and still a little surreal experiencing the passion and excitement in person. Also wow, what an impressive finish!

We put a lot of hard work into the new Shadow class, and it was so much fun! I hope those of you at Exilecon enjoy giving it a try in Act 5! 🗡️

Spirit Walker is actually such an epic ascendancy! 🐻 This video has somehow got me even more excited for 0.5.0
🦉🐻🦌 Seek the power of the Azmerian animal spirits to summon mighty allies or enhance their combat! In this video, we’re featuring the Spirit Walker, a new Huntress Ascendancy coming in Return of the Ancients on May 29th.

Great showcase of just a couple of the 40 new unique items in 0.5.0 - We had A LOT of fun putting these together.
Wield the crushing power of Nightfall or rain destruction with Redemption. Two new Unique Items await in Path of Exile2: Return of the Ancients.

Very proud of the team. It's insane how much content we're about to constantly push out; it always blows my mind. Not too far away now, and really hope you all enjoy the update once 0.5.0 finally arrives!
