WTF where sword i was promised?!

It remains in our Dreams
Please GGG, I need my sparkly crown MTX in PoE2.
I'm glad that they're working on the base game and getting everything right before adding in new classes. They're coming - remember that we're still in early access.

They didn't.
People just thought that since one of the teasers showed a sword that they're promised.
I hope to god they release swords, and they become the worst melee weapon in the game just to give people other things to complain about.

If a simple type of items ruins someone's overall playing experience (OP did not state this, just a Reddit echo) then IMO they are really missing out on the big picture.

25 Exalts...oh God my stupidity stuck! Now onto 25 Divines...
I enjoyed the "free" game so far and invested some 100€, but having no swords in this kind of game is absurd. Should have been the first thing to implement. All the great fantasy characters are sword swinging good and bad guys. That's why I spent 40€ for D4 on my PS5 now. Got the base game with my PSN member ship and all the rest for 40€. It feels and looks like it was munched together from D2,3 PoE1&2, some Titanquest 1 too!
I will play PoE2 again when there are swords. It would be also nice to NOT have to run the campaign again each season. It's just a chore. Or did they change that?

They will never change that, and I don't really mind that though would be fine with an alternative way to level. But the lack of melee weapons and new classes, the piling more and more layers of fluff onto an endless atlas system, the new crafting mechanics to make ground loot even more worthless than it already was... all the opposite of what I want in an ARPG.

It's a grinding loot game where the only loot that matters are the slot machine tokens you use to 'craft'. I just want to stab something to death and find a lot of loot, ID it and find badass upgrades or at least decent gear. If people don't even bother picking up "rare" gear drops in your ARPG there's a problem.

They always promise end game reworks...Which is the same stuff but a little different.

I can't believe after one year and half of early access maces are still the only melee weapon.

The new stuff is cool, but melee is stagnant and they don't seem to care.


Id guess they do care and dont want the long awaited sword release to be just eh...


That excuse doesn't cut it any more. They said the endgame rework was nearly finished and needed just a bit more work last patch, and this league ran over on top of that.

2 ascendancies dropped, we're missing 4 full classes, 14 other ascendancies, and the majority of melee weapons.

But they spent a lot of time creating even more currencies, runes, and crafting time sinks.

I want to play an ARPG. A game where you run around being awesome stabbing things and picking up loot and being excited when you find a piece that's especially awesome.

Not a crafting sim based entirely on gambling. Omens, the genesis tree, all of it is just ways to try to push the RNG of a slot machine a bit more in your favor. And despite saying this was going to be a new game they keep on adding mechanics from PoE.

I'm out until they get their shit in order.


Well, you seem to forget who this game is aimed at. It's for the streamers. This is not your run of the mill ordinary ARPG; this game has to have streaming potential. No one will watch a stream for swords, but they will watch it to see streamers burn away mirror worth of loot in gambling. Yes, the gaming industry has a gambling problem, and it does not seem to be fixed anytime soon.

well u got monk, spears (ranged/melee hybrid) and most shapeshift, remember we only got 2 classes from poe 1 in poe 2 for now, most of them are new and while i'd love to get swords i prefer them trying new class and balancing them before releasing something we already know
lets hope for the best on 1.0
