They fucked up the core gameplay loop too much at first and that REALLY needs to be fixed unfortunately. But my god are they dragging their feet on admitting it and PROPERLY fixing it. They're being stubborn which is making it take forever and the other stuff like the missing classes and itemization is suffering as a result.

Remember when they said it would be full release in 2025? Kek

Now it's full release in 2026!

Tying everything to weapons in the way they did was so fucking retarded. A lot of the changes are great, but then I remember that we have the saaaaame fucking weapons/abilities we've had for like a year and realize I still can't be bothered.

They are really shitting on the corpse of Blizzard with this one. They've added like 5x more in 1 league cycle than Blizzard has added to Diablo 4 in 3 years. It shows off how much better their process has been with a strong base, PoE 1, to incorporate and build off of when Blizzard had a husk in Diablo 3.

it’s a shame they do everything but make the gameplay loop at endgame actually fun. Look forward to have to combo a pile of things together to stun a boss then have its stun animation travel halfway across the map causing the combo to miss and impossible to catch up since the “maps” are still garbage and you hit hidden terrain all over the place

So no Shadow or Duelist at launch? That's kind of anti-climatic. End game changes look decent though I guess.

Yep I thought it was a decent reveal bit I think I am gonna skip this one, too.

Didn't play last league either so by the time I roll up it'll hopefully feel like a new game! Damnation farm is burning me the fuck out of POE for the moment anyway.

I love the monk, so the new monk ascendancy is really the only thing tempting me to play this league. Maybe we'll get a few more surprise releases.
