Lets hear it: Hopes, predictions and wishes for PoE 0.2.0

Just give me druid.

Neft top end builds by A LOT so that pinnacle bosses actually take minutes to beat even on the best meta builds.

They need to implement diminishing result at late game to prevent overstacking stats that lead to these zooming 1 shot builds BS.

Oh and they also need to make the enemies abit slower and nerf their damage. It's one of the two reasons that lead to this one shot builds meta: 1 shotting the entire screen before they 1 shot you.

I just hope for huntress and Druid and much less crashes. Maybe some work on the defense layers balance. Would wish way more than that, but not expect more than that.

I love the skill tree. It's huge and there are so many choices to build which is great when you have randomized gear! Not enough cast speed on your gear? Grab a little swirl from your skill tree. It's perfect.

One thing I would like to see added is the ability to unlearn more than 1 talent at a time. A good implementation would be allowing us to unlearn any talent and all those connected would be refunded at once. Just a little time saver and headache reducer.

And Oh my stars... MORE HIDEOUTS, please! ^.^ I appreciate this beyond words. Whoever thought up the hideouts... brilliant.

Beyond the nerfs and buffs here and there... I have to say... I would like to see the Witch Bloodmage get a boost. I've changed up specs and builds a few times... I either feel weak in comparison to my comrades or slow and clunky with high damage. Any class using minions seems to be troublesome in this way.

Reviving teammates in regular maps would be nice. I get turning that ability off on big boss fights but just running around in regular map seems excessively punishing. This is not a deal-breaker. It will most likely get abused but still... thought I would mention it.

Having the option of male and female per class would be kewl, too. As a female, I prefer to play female characters. Again, not a deal-breaker though.

Lastly... we have pets... could we maybe grant them some kind of ability? Picking up orbs... or extra inventory capacity... or something? I love cosmetic things but its more enjoyable when you get a little perk for it. Nothing game-changing but... ya know. :P

i'd like to see some new skills for existing weapons, or new weapon types with new skills

i'd say right now its less about class types and more about weapon types, differences in builds and such.
so lets see what other weapons there are and what skills are associated with them!

im most intrigued by axes and spears

obviously though some of these weapon types loosely have an associated ascendancy, like swords are probably more templar? (str/int) axes more duelist like (str/dex) and spears more huntress (dex/str), but i am still more interested in seeing the weapons and skills than the ascendancies/characters themselves

If they add new weapons, they will add new classes. Sword = duelist, Axe = Marauder etc.

Gave up on the game after the last interview. If PoE1 endgame is here to stay and all they want to do is ease the transition, then I'm out. The game (campaign) went from Slow & Methodical to Zoom PoE1 seizure mode, it's two games in one and I don't dig this philosophy. So yeah, them somehow coming up with an endgame that is not PoE1 at this point is impossible, so I'm not even sure why I post this.

An in-game auction house for items just like the one for currency, with a anti spam or captcha for suspicious botting activity. It has to happen, currently the way of trading is the most frustrating experience in POE.

That's pretty much how I feel and I feel anything I say is hard cope.

An updated PalWorld (w/ difficult server settings) with friends is feeling more appealing than bashing my head against a wall against a very dull and old school economy and trade grind system with apparently the needed zoomer focus point of "Isn't it fun to kill 100k+ enemies really fast and with minimal effort to make enough Divinity Orbs or super luck something rare to trade with other no lifes?".

I really like this games foundation btw and I don't mean to hard bash it, I just really want the evolution of the ARPG scene that was kind of promised.

What I would like to see in version 0.2 is the Druid and the Huntress, since they said they were almost ready. It would probably be these characters and a new mechanic.

However, due to the chaos they seem to be in and the poor communication, I highly doubt anything significant will be released. I would guess a new weapon and some support gems, or maybe some new skills for the classes we already have.

I almost feel like I treated D4 too harshly, at least that game felt 'up to date' I think the lack of a proper outfit system in this day and age is unacceptable, or at least some basic customization for the characters. But I get it, it's not this kind of game and that is fine, my main issue is what I mentioned before. Also, who am I kidding, D4 is just.. bad, I have to stop romanticizing the Diablo name and just move on. Been playing some Marvel Rivals lately, having fun, so..
