An Update on 3.28 Expansion Timeline

If this a large Atlas rework league one could only hope they would put a real atlas tree in PoE2

I would ask what is the problem with keeping Phrecia2.0 running until (soon before) launch of 3.28? Is there some mechanical need(shifting people's tasks), or is it just "that's what we originally said."?

Because if it's the latter, there's no reason why it can't be allowed to continue. Keep player interest, make it feel like less of a dead league, not have a gap in playtime.

Global 2 opinion seems to be of "well if it won't go for very long, why bother investing playtime in it?". It's not a maxed out league, just one that is on the chop.

Stop reworking content to put into poe2 and give poe1 actual new mechanics not reworks

To be fair, the amount of mechanics that translate well to an ARPG are finite. Eventually, you'll get similar mechanical tropes with new facia reworked and relaunched. To be incredibly reductive, Lake of Kilandra, Synthesis, Incursion... all follow VERY similar mechanics.

That said, I'd be okay if they canned PoE 2 all together. :)

It would be a cool idea to have more leagues like Phrecia 2.0 and then turn the entire passive tree and atlast tree into a 3D tree rather than a flat 2D one. Maybe a cube or a sphere. With access to other ascendancies and other passives.

Maybe a giant valdos puzzle box.

prayers for jun and his buddies

Why not prolong phrecia?)= 2 weeks before new league start. Give some more Phrecia please

If anything, they'll can POE1

Like it or not, POE 2 is the future. This is where their new playerbase resides and this is how they'll attract even more playerbase once 1.0 launches. POE1 doesn't attract new players anymore, in fact it's a game that's notoriously hostile to new players.

Right now POE 2 endgame is terrible. But so was POE 1 ten years ago. Don't tell me farming Piety was a compelling endgame. Or pre 3.0 leagues where even map sustain sucked and currency was rare as hell, to the point of running underground sea for alchemy orb div cards.

PoE is only hostile to new players due to the steep learning curve. Once PoE 2 becomes a complete game with all the necessary mechanics it'll be just as hostile.

The main difference for most people is the graphics. Most people who have never played PoE will take one look at it and uninstall it. Graphics matter a lot to most players and PoE 2 has a huge advantage in that area.

Unfortunately I don't see any effort on GGG's part to improve PoE's graphics which severely limits its appeal to new players. Us oldtimers are here for the complex gameplay but new players will go to PoE 2 just for the graphics.

I hope that GGG keeps updating PoE for years to come. But that depends entirely on how much money they make from it. And without the ability to attract new players things will get difficult.
