So this game stagnates...

Finish the core of your game first; add all the missing classes/ascendancies/skills, THEN you can start working on the endgame and actually attempt to balance it properly, both in terms of monster/player power and the speed of progression.

The only unbalanced thing so far is the endgame, there is also no point on releasing unfinished new classes (druid coming on 0.4) if endgame sucks balls.
Let them cook, endgame need a fix and balance asap.

The whole premise of my post is that them cooking everything at once is obviously not working.

What makes you think that they will somehow manage to magically fix all the endgame balance and broken progression curve issues in one patch, while working on the druid and twenty thousand other things at the same time?

We will get one more copy pasted league and a few more 'activities' added to the clusterfuck that is this whole atlas, aka delve.
Unless they scrap it completely and come up with something that actually works, in which case I will gladly eat my words.

There wasnt much to be done on druid on 0.3 launch, just animations and they had 2 months to finish it and focus on poe 1, they dont do miracles so pretend everything to be fixed in 0.4 is a bit too much.

You also want fresh new content, i get it, but they said it's easier for now to grab poe 1 content and slap it in here because it's done already so less buggy than a fresh new one.
Now it's about 1 month they're focusing on poe 1 and when the league come out there they will be back here and focus on 0.4 stuff, so it's basically 2 months here and 2 months there.
If they think they can manage it, let em cook, time will tell eventually.

I absolutely dislike how this game treated as a full release when it isnt even completed yet. That decision makes zero sense and now they split their efforts between two games...

Here's a tip about the game industry as a whole. If a game claims it's Early Access but it's selling microtransactions/DLC/loot boxes/etc then the moniker is a lie. They're treating it like a full, finished 1.0 and so should you.

I started playing during the free weekend and liked it well enough to buy into EA.

And while I could nearly write write a novel regarding my experience since, I will say that in my opinion even though it's been in EA for nearly a year now it still really shouldn't be considered in EA at all.

I do see great potential in it, but with all the missing classes and even weapons along with the mechanics being as unbalanced as they are this is really more of an alpha test at best.
