0.4 "Endgame" Focus

I agree with the OP, tbh the Druid looks interesting as well as the league mechanic, all the QOL's and new skills, skill tree, literally everything looks really good.

The flip side to that the game is classed as early access so shouldn't the priority be making sure the base game is completed to a satisfactory level, i don't expect it to be perfect, but enough to where we can release it and then they can start thinking about doing league mechanics to add content to the game?

Getting the endgame completed and to a level where there are basic gameplay loops that keep player rentention at a reasonably level then you add the content which enhances those loops the logical path to take?

Finish Acts
Finish Endgame
Get all classes and ascendencies in the game
Balance everything

Then the game is now 1.0

This is where league mechanics can be added and then turned into core game play loops to add to what is in the base game.

It feels like they have split the team between 1 and 2 and then they split the POE2 team even more to some of them are sorting out the base game and then there's one for the classes, ascendancies and skills and then the rest of the team works on the league mechanic

I thought they told us there would be separate dev teams, but it doesn't appear to be. We know Mark is the lead of PoE1, but talks about PoE2 in all the releases so at the very least he is split.

Seems obvious with both games releasing duds for updates. Feels like they are just overwhelmed and falling short of promises constantly.


Edit: Thinking about it, seems like 0.3.1 was a bigger change to endgame than this entire major patch. Ugh.

That's true didn't they say 0.3.1 was to implement ideas for endgame and wanted to see how they would work and it was definitely going in the right direction, and it was fairly major changes, then 0.4 comes about and we get "your tablets can be juiced"
