Missing that last spark and hoping for all the classes being shipped sooner

Overall, great changes. I'm really looking forward to the new zones, trying out new skills, and hopefully some new builds.

But missing that spark that would get me OMG excited, really hoped we would get at least 1 new class. Really missing STR/INT class, and its space in the passive skill tree feels empty and unnecessary. As EA build, I would expect that they would want to test that part of the tree ASAP otherwise it will fall behind other areas, especially if there are Brand/Links/Totems skills which are still to be tested and not that present in the current version.

Templar or Druid would really fill that spot.

Hoped that, as Templar is already a class from POE1, making the transition and matching the POE2 would already be done, and at least ready for EA build. With already several months in EA and promised 12 classes on launch, most of the community would appreciate even a broken class.

Otherwise, we are looking at several years of EA.

Seems not really fair from the company, as most of the community already paid for the EA access, and we are getting content this slowly. People who are still waiting to get in, as it is still advertised as F2P, will soon lose any interest, and hype will die out.

GGG just dropped a massive patch with an insane amount of amazing changes, including huge reworks for all classes, yet people still find reasons to complain. New classes will come. There's a very good chance they will drop multiple classes next season.
