Which news announcements are you referring to? The only one I can think of was the Witch and that came out a week after they said they would release it.

If you recall they said "a big announcement will be made next week". And then next week came and went and it was only the week after that PCgamer posted the Witch announcement. To be completely frank we all knew what the announcement would be anyway. The only question was what the spellcaster would be called and what it would look like. From that perspective, it was hardly worth the hype that it got.

If you actually think about it we know almost nothing about PoE. We know the general vagaries of the different mechanics but there is no specific information on anything. Not to mention that most of what we do know is from a version of the game that's about 6 months old.

I realize that PoE is still in development and that things will likely change but I know there are many thing by this point that will not change. Take the passive skill tree for example. It's not like they're going to suddenly get rid of it at this point in development but we know nothing about it other than that it exists. Nothing.

I could sum up all the public information about PoE in a couple of paragraphs. And that is really disappointing.


We're trying to share as much information as we have finalised, but there are two reasons why we haven't just posted a brain-dump of how plan every system/mechanic in the game to work:

a) We're still testing many of them. Anything we say can get quoted and people base their impression of the game off it. Some of our features change very often, and it'll confuse the public if we keep announcing and unannouncing temporary things.

b) It takes a lot of effort to prepare clear, unambiguous write-ups about gameplay systems. At the moment, we're deep in development and trying to prepare the beta that you're hopefully looking forward to. Because we're a small team, our web content writers are the same people who work on implementing that content. We'd rather write about things once they're finished, so that they're finished and in testing sooner.

To steal all of my free time? I agree. Getting more excited by the day. I think I may actually be looking forward more to this than I am to D3.

Basically a lot of people agree this is a lot similar looking to Diablo than D3 itself. If they manage to make the skills and item hunting good, than it will be played for long.
