Be more bold with balance.

I like the idea of fixed update intervals, nothing wrong with that, this is still a beta test!

Also, where are the Rolling Slam and Chaos Dot improvements you promised mid December?

The backlash last time was kind of huge - guess you have to be diplomatic during early access.

I don't mind that they are going to do balance patches in a League setup, but I think they really need to think about making them MUCH shorter than normal. IF PoE2 only gets 2 balance patches during all of EA, it'll be a massive failure.

With a release speed like that, we'll have the full release Christmas 2027.

That, or they'll pull a Blizzard with D4, and release it well before it's ready. Either way, at the planned rate of patches that'll contain balance changes, it's not looking to good.

To be honest, I'm not interested at all in Endgame Content at the moment.

I usually reroll mid cruel and try the next new Skill/Weapon/Ascendancy - combination. But as of now, the possibilities are extremely limited.


Also, allow more weapon - skill combinaions. There's no excuse that Mace-Slam skills shouldn't be able to work with quaterstaves.

I'm really afraid, that we will only see 1-weapontype exclusive skills when more Weapon classes are revealed.

- Wanna use cleave? You gotta stick with axes.
- Wanna go melee poison? Just daggers buddy!
- Why no claws? They are exclusive to shapeshifiting abilities.

And why is that bad? PoE1 has shown many build-definding unique items which can be used with a variety of attacks.

- Wanna use a Starforge for a physical build that shocks? Well, only sword abilities are allowed.
- Hezmana's Bloodlust? Would be nice to save passive points for not needing Bloodmagic or 1 link for lifetap. Only axe abilities tho...


One positive tho! The ascendacies are completely unrestricted.

- Wanna go RP faceless void from Dota? Go chronomancer and swing a Mace underneath your time bubble.
- Titan seems to be the most versatile Ascendancy due to the improved small passives.
- About to try a Elemental Bleed Crossbow Bloodmage Witch, using Plasma Blast.
