The plan is for each act they plan to remove difficulty lvls completely. So you will not have any replay through acts. It will just be a complete Act 1 - Act 10 finish. Then of course end game maps.

I made a long and extremely ambitious post** about this concept months ago, before I was a moderator. It was pure speculation then and I believe it remains almost pure speculation now. What I do know is that parallel acts have also been discussed -- multiple paths to 100, as it were.

This is almost as exciting as the removal of difficulties altogether.

As I said in that other thread, the difficulty level repetition is a residual flaw of Diablo 1 -- except at least with D1 you had cycling quests, thus improving the replay value.

The ideal to me would be one very large world, no repeating content or difficulties, multiple areas at the same level. This would make PoE resemble far more its Guild Wars 1 model (public towns, instanced zones -- this isn't a fluke, people) than the much less impressive D1/D2 model of a few acts repeated 3 times.

That is a LONG WAY DOWN THE TRACK. But if I could imagine the 'perfect' PoE, that's what it would look like.

The big argument against one big difficulty level from a player's perspective is that some people like to complete the same quest multiple times (in each difficulty). It is my belief that with GGG changing the Bandit quest rewards per difficulty that they're already on the way to 'non repetitive' quest rewards across the difficulties.

As for act 4: it is in development.

But just as important to me are gradual polishing points for acts 1 and 2. Act 3 craps all over acts 1 and 2 in a lot of areas...





**Warning: linked thread is very out-dated as regards end-game but the heart's in the right place. I think. (Although it's interesting to see how many of the posters became mods and diamonds.)
