No swords? No axes? Still?

So it ends up we not gonna have any new class till 1.0 which means for another 5-6 months.
I am pretty sure 1.0 is going to be delayed. I feel like 0.5 will be a polarizing patch that will lead to more tuning of the new mechanics.

Jonathan and Mark said no to life being added on the tree in the interview, they would rather remove the life on the tree completely he said and compared es to Armour not life XD

And this game was supposed to be done 6 months ago, LOL. I haven't touched this game since January LAST YEAR. Not coming back until they actually finish the campaign, classes and weapons. And even then the dumbest ever ascendancy trials may keep me from enjoying the game.

Probably. They said they'd have regular league length and patches and then failed to do that. On the tail end of a long wait they announce another long wait, and with 1/3 the classes, over 1/3 of the ascendancies, and the bulk of melee weapons still missing completely odds are either they miss that and postpone again, or they release 1.0 without the characters and/or weapons.

well disappointment.
thats all I feel from yesterday.

fr, swords and axes are needed MUCH more than more convoluted and bloated mechanics and currencies

100%

This game is turning into a meme at this point.

More like comparing ES to a corpse cause life sucks.

In an older interview (late 2025?), GGG said swords were really important for PoE2, which meant the full release of PoE2 base game (patch 1.0) would have swords.

Apparently, in the most recent interview about patch 0.5, GGG said swords & daggers were being demoted & delayed.


In the beginning of PoE2, GGG said PoE2 would be different from PoE1 in that PoE2 would have more tactical, methodical, & soulsborne combat. This meant both PoE1 & PoE2 would receive large updates to appeal to different gamers.

Now PoE2 is becoming more like PoE1 or any Diablo-like game.


Before in 2024, GGG said the entire base game would debut in 2025. I think in late 2025, GGG said the full release of PoE2 (patch 1.0) would not have all 12 classes. I think 2 classes might be left out in patch 1.0, but added in a DLC. With more patch 0.5 information, I think the real patch 1.0 or the actual full release of the base game with all 12 classes will debut in 2027.


It seems like GGG is kind of lost in game development.
