A lot of content -

but again.. looks like they "deleting" entire identity of poe 2 - instead of "faster projectiles" as only one option we should also get option to have slow but stronger projectiles.

Everything is about speed and we can't even tune game to our liking to be - like was promised... active.. more methodical.. and synergy based - everything is automated which is bad. End-game is to much of poe 1 liking. always one shot or be one shoted. Not enough defensive layers and points.



OWL spirit present how "delusional" design is with "synergy based" combat when we get spirit that - gives more projectiles, more projectile speed and cover ground in effects. Game just rewards speed and not active gameplay - one shot or be one shoted

It shows how they are lying and tuning poe 2 to poe 1 pace. So everyone who liked poe 2 - can get out.

Unless I misheard, Jonathan said there'd be some events throughout that period, so we should be okay. There's a lot of cool and wacky stuff they can do with the Atlas, so I'd expect such events to be pretty substantial.
All of the endgame paths have an identity with accompanying quests. This is exactly what was needed coupled with the map changes. The foundation for endgame has been built; we have it now. This update is a massive w toward the structure and longevity of endgame.
Yea. I really like how they entirely spoiled the end-game story they just added.

They effectively reduced what we actually experience is itemized/passive spread sheets.

So it's really just about the changes to skills so we can play something else for once.

0.5 looks amazing. Spirit Walker looks like a lot of fun. Going to be a long month.

Yeah, we don't need a new league to enjoy another one. They will improve and do different events probably will be economy reset as well, so it will feel like new league with no additional content but a bit changed content.

That's fine, we are getting 1.0 in December so before the new year.
Besides endgame changes i need to hype a bit those QoLs we`re receiving. As a console player i`m especially hyped for native price checker which i personally requested for.

However, lack of new class is a bit dissapointing but copium lets me believe we`re gonna receive some surprise announcement(something like varashta announcement) closer to release to bring back a hype after long break. All those class teases feel too weird now.

Land marks on campaign so that layouts don't feel so frustrating, ingame price checker, a prototype of a crafting menu, atlas not feeling meaningless, search bar on atlas
