Would you be happy with ascen/swords in 0.5?
|
We're all thinking it and trying to wish it into existence. A new melee class and swords, but we've been let down many times in the past. I suspect the most likely outcome are a whole bunch of a new ascens (with merc being the only sword specific). We might get flails with a new druid ascend. This is the likely outcome and we won't be getting a new class that fits in the str quadrant. Would that be satisfying enough?

I really don’t care about swords. Daggers interest me more. Also considering the holy spells introduced in poe1 with Mirage league, perhaps there’s a hint that we’ll see templar & flails in 0.5.0?

There's almost no chance of a new class in 0.5. I expect the next class to be duelist and to arrive in December with 0.7/1.0.
My expectations are: 0.5 = Endgame overhaul + new league 0.6 = Act 5/6 + new league 0.7/1.0 = Duelist + new league and F2P goes live. I don't expect anything beyond this for the year and I would be quite content if they manage this much. The endgame overhaul for 0.5 is going to be significant and involve big reworks to the original 4 league mechanics from 0.1 on top of introducing a new one. Expecting a new class on top of that is unrealistic. |

" Honestly, if there is no new class in the next two major patches, I think whatever hype remains around PoE2 will die for good until it eventually releases. We need new stuff to play with and we need it soon. It’s an EA but it’s kind of a live service already, so I don’t think they’ll get away with a couple ascendencies and skill gems. |

" So templar, shadow, marauder, swords, axes, flails, daggers after 1.0?? Need something new to mess with, swords/daggers would be even better than new class Last edited by IILU81II#8410 on Mar 23, 2026, 11:07:14 PM

" The weapons will release alongside the associated class. Duelist: Swords Marauder: Axes Templar: Flails Shadow: Daggers There will be plenty of new content between now and 1.0 but there's no way they can get all four remaining classes done by the end of the year. We'll be very lucky if we get two. |

" Why 1.0 for december? Can i have video or something with them saying full release (not so full) will be december 2026? |
|
" GGG have never outright said that 1.0 will be in December. It's just very likely based on their past comments in interviews and with Exilecon being held in November. |
|
" i honestly think they should just release it faster, this year is the time limit for at least all base full content. its to damn slow holy shit. its almost as an indie game with solo dev |
|
" Don't forget they are supporting and making content for POE 1 at the same time. Besides, look at the release cadence of other popular ARPGS and we really don't have much to complain about at all. |
