PoE Incursion Flashback Event Begins on August 4th

GGG has announced the Incursion Flashback Event will start on early August, which means the Incursion is going to an end very soon, Flashback Event will run in parallel with the Incursion Challenge League which will also be enabled on the event so that you can continue your challenge progression. Players can find a lot of funny things and have a really enjoyable time during this August!

 

Time: 9 am Saturday, August 4th (NZT) -10 am Tuesday, August 28th (NZT)

 

 

Event Details

The Flashback Event will have three random mods from popular past leagues activated at once. The collection of mods will persist in that area for one hour and the collection of mods will vary from area to area. After an hour has passed the mods will randomise for each area again. Each area will also always have the Incursion League enabled which means that you can continue to finish your challenges while you compete in the Flashback Event. 

 

The possible league mods that you could see in an instance alongside Incursion are Anarchy, Invasion, Breach, Ambush, Torment, Perandus, Beyond, Nemesis, Bloodlines, Abyss and Harbinger. 

 

As an example, the Dried Lake could have Incursion, Breach, Beyond and Harbinger active for one hour and will then randomise to another assortment like Incursion, Ambush, Perandus, Invasion and then again to Incursion, Ambush, Beyond, Torment and so on. 

 

You will be able to get the following quantities of these mods in any area where they are present. 

 

2 x additional Rogue Exiles

2 x additional Invasion Bosses

1 x additional Breach

2 x additional Strongboxes

3 x Tormented Spirits

2 x additional Perandus Chests and a 33% chance to spawn Cadiro

Beyond

3 x additional Rare Monster Packs with Nemesis Mods

3 x additional Magic Monster Packs with Bloodlines

1 additional Abyss

2 x additional Harbingers

 

This event is not voided which means your items and characters will be migrated to their parent leagues at the end of the event.

No, Ascendancy Class respecs will be disabled. 

 

If I delete my character, will I still get a prize?

No. Please do not delete your characters until after the prizes have been awarded. 

 

Will I still be eligible for prizes if my character dies?

Yes. 

 

If I level multiple characters will I have a greater chance of winning a prize?

Yes, every character you level will be independently in the pool for the prize-draw at the end of the event. This excludes mystery boxes where you will only be able to receive one per account. 

 

Will the event be voided?

No, at the end of the event your characters and items will be migrated to their parent league. For example, if you're playing the Standard Flashback Event your characters and items will migrate to the Standard League at the end of the event.

GGG will be awarding Mystery Boxes automatically when you reach level 35 in the event. The other microtransactions and Demigod's Dominances will be awarded at the end of the event. You'll receive a PM on the website to notify you when this has happened. Note that outside of the Mystery Boxes and Demigod's Dominances that prizes are drawn randomly and are not necessarily guaranteed. They will post on our Twitter to confirm when the final prizes have gone out.

Can you migrate from Standard SSF Flashback to Standard Flashback?

Yes, this is possible. (The same applies to Hardcore SSF Flashback to Hardcore Flashback).
