the season race of path of exile is a short-lived mini-league. this series of leagues mainly presents short-term competitions. the game will continue to have various seasonal competitions for players to participate in, as short as 12 minutes, as long as several hours. players who want to participate in the competition can start a character in these leagues 30 minutes before the start, and then start a short-term game. these competitions mainly test the players to achieve the most achievements or achieve the highest level in the game in a very short time. players can accumulate competition points and get awards. most of the competitions are expert mode, and some are betrayal league that is abandoned after the competition.
most of the games on general maps belong to this mode.
when the character dies, the character and the items on it will return to the permanent standard league.
after the race, the living characters and all the items will return to permanent hardcore league.
betrayal league have special settings, they have their own set of rules, item accessibility and aftermath, most of them have special maps and even no villages (such as desent, endless ledge).
after the death of the character or the end of the competition, the created character can no longer continue to use, but can only be deleted.
the significance of the betrayal league is that the official can adjust the items dropping rate in this mode, or put a treasure box to give players a large amount of currencies to equip them to increase the fun of competition. but because the currencies amount is very big, if you can bring back to the permanent league, it will have a great impact on the economy, so after the end of this special race, all the characters and items will be directly discarded, and the players can delete these characters in the list but no longer to use.
