6 months of waiting for no new classes, weapons, or skills?

What worries me if they are going 1.0 at the end of this year, how are they going to finish all classes and weapons AND test them?

If they are not included, then it cannot be called a 1.0, if they are included they will be badly rushed and unbalanced, based on how we didn't get even a single new weapon since last time.

The endgame content looks cool but whats the point if theres nothing new to actually play it with. No actual new skills all the stuff shown are either ward based or tied to uber endgame uniques that most players wont get access too. No Duelist is a huge disappointment after 16 months of early access still no swords in a dark fantasy arpg? They couldnt even throw claws in or at the very least let melee strafe while attacking for weapons already in the game like magic and ranged?

Nothing new?
Patch is huge, i also wanted a new class and weapons but there is a whole new endgame lol and 2 new ascendancies to play with, new crafting too, maybe watch the video again :D

Patch is huge, yes... full of trash.
They added bosses that people will 1-shot instead of reworking/tweaking the mechanics of the ones that are already there.
100 runes with maybe 5 usable, which will all be expensive and rare as a Mirror.
The ascendancies ARE NOT ''new content'', it is MISSING CONTENT because they are for classes that are already there.

They are not adding a single meaningful thing to the game, they are simply adding quantity to keep people like you thinking ''woooow look all we are getting this patch!''. Just like in 0.4 the Temple took the entire season because it was the ONLY thing that matters, 0.5 will be about 1 thing and that's it. You'll still have to deal with the bloat, tho.

Everything that was promoted for PoE2 is almost gone. Like slower paced combat and actually meaningful content. This early access is a scam.

Yeah no hype at all here. Announcement was a big disappointment. I dont' want more bloated systems and random trinkets, I just want to swing a sword on nice open maps

+1 basically... unless the patchnotes or actual experience of playing 0.5 is somehow different.

Well they made the mistake of making those three things the same thing.

Weapons = Class = Skills.

Ascendancies are just stat sticks.

Yea, they pretty much announced a spread sheet of itemization objects and then spoiled the new content. Surely the set early end-game won't get tedious line unlocking crafts for Betrayal.

You guys love grinding unveil options every league, right?

They will probably drop 1-2 more things before launch to keep the hype going.

They can't do everything. And I'm sure they are working on classes but they don't feel that they are ready yet. Also they did add two new ascendancies to play around with and will probably change/buff some underperforming ones.

Also theres like new skills to play around with (kalguran, maybe even some new for classes?)

Yea, balance is a problem... I hope they did something there. At least kill CoC Comet. Get damage number somewhat in line with each other. Also Skill Level on gear is getting nerfed, thats probably 15-50% less damage for high end stuff. Maybe some other things aswell.

Just see them as crafting options. Like ofc if you just look at one build only a fraction is viable, cant make everything work with every build.

They added an actual atlas tree instead of the fake one we had. They added ascendancies and new skills to try new stuff. They reworked like all endgame mechanics, which might help a bit with the "I open up atlas and dont wanne play" feeling, cause we actually have like continuous maps we want to do. Cant tell till I played myself. Maybe it still feels shit for me. Maybe less. Maybe its good. They also made a atlas mastery with +1 portal. Finally.

Maybe they have something to make less and stronger monsters in the passive tree. But yea, its not the engaging and paced combat they “promised” in the beginning. But maybe that just didn't work out? Perhaps they are in too deep? Who knows. Ill give it a try and see if I like it.

Added actuall atlas tree he says... lmfao the new is dumb af but the old one is why we started doubting ggg and why 8k are playing when 1 million copies are out there. We don't want to criticize but I gotta tell the truth. My poe1 friend stopped during the campaign of poe2 and is playing d4 while waiting poe1 next league.... I'm busy waiting on poe1 next league and gta6 hopefully is good

Did you watch the whole reveal?...

Come back for 1.0 then if you dont appreciate the massive endgame rework, they clearly said 0.5 will be endgame focused, ENDGAME, not classes nor weapons.
Swords and Duelist/Gladiator were just players speculations but there is another 20 days so will see.

Missing content is actually new content, isnt gladiator and swords a missing content?

Runic wards arent new?
Endgame quests?
What you mean by new?
