More Bosses and rewards please <3

Dear GGG,

thank you for your awesome game. I enjoyed how I hated every depth and boss encounter until I managed the mechanics. I really had a lot of fun playing the campaign. Great job. Now i'm in the end game, and I had to see my motivation slipping. I know this is still in early development and far from the state of POE1. However, I wanted to raise my concerns and give you some suggestions which would hopefully benefit and enjoy the experience of everyone in the end game.

About me: i'm just some mid tear passionate gamer who likes to spend some weekends and spare time after work on playing games. In POE I played quite some leagues, each about 25-100 hours. Hence i'm not a casual, i'm okay experienced in the game, but far from these masterminds.

The Problem: The reason I was always stopping the leagues in POE is the drop of motivation once I have spent like about 10ex (in POE1 terms) on my gear. I'm in top maps and only some end game bosses are up to do. However, at that point I don't see much progression when playing. I played for about 4 Hours after work, but actually achieved nothing. I got that feeling already in POE2 after doing tier 1 milestones, which is concerning to me. The current motivation is to find the final end-boss, but that's like so many hours away. I’d rather go and watch a youtube video of someone finishing it and digging myself. I need the carrot in front of my face to keep me motivated.

POE 1 based Improvements: I'm guessing we will get POE like leagues, more items, more skills, more mechanics to unlock, more combinations and such that keeps us happy in the grind. However, that needs quite a lot of time to be developed and is also only the same thing again. We need something more interesting than that and rather sooner then later.

My Suggestion: We need more rewards, story, and goals to keep our motivation high in reasonable short time steps when progressing up in the milestone tiers. I really like the 10 milestones mission per tier we have in the end game. However, we just get a book of skill for the end game skill tree, nothing that makes my character stronger, nothing flashy :) Why not give us at every milestone tier a boss guarding the next milestone tier. A boss that unlocks the next tier and gives us a real reward. A reward like a book of skill, we have way to many of those in the champagne anyways. A reward that keeps me motivated in the progression towards the next tier. A reward that maybe makes me unlook a next tier of items i want to pursue, and thus guarding my next item progression i can unlock and farm towards. A guard I want to kill and which is only a couple of hours (increasingly) of gameplay down the road.


Keep up your great work, love it so far!
Best,
Me

This is the POE1 feedback sub-forum, use correct sub-forum.
“Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
