Everyone is taking about new leagues and loot, but what about the POE1 4.0?

If we had ONLY gotten the changes and fixes promised for 4.0 at Exilecon in 2019, including the new acts and classes, and none of the garbage, like dodge roll, PoE would be in a terrific place. But someone (I'm looking at YOU, Mr. Rogers) wanted to pile on a bunch of additional garbage to make a whole, new game, and PoE 1 lost out. =9[.]9=

The loot situation is absolute part of the elephant in the room yes but without a decent performance you can't even play the game.

I've got zero performance issues myself, but what I do have is constant server issues. Pings going wild during certain times of day, ranging from 150 to infinity aka losing connection entirely.

I ran so many ping tests to various servers (outside of PoE), played a bunch of other online games just to see if it's a me-issue....but nope, only happens in PoE. Random routing issues where you'll be send over the moon, back to asia, back to europe, back to god knows where...I've never experienced this in any other game.

2030 maybe? PoE 2 will most likely be rushed out to release by summer or fall of next year and then they're going to have to spend at least another year fixing all the problems while continuing to try and juggle PoE 1 leagues.

Where's your optimism?

It seems like the requirement to go for 4.0 is to fix the engine, otherwise it's kinda pointless.

They are only allowed to ask specific questions. It's been like that for a while.

But they answered already in QA. They want work on PoE2

This is a very good question, which I ask myself every day. I'm really curious why not a single streamer didn't ask this question so far.
I assume it's self-explanatory that we won't see 4.0, I guess they will continue to release new leagues as long as it is possible to milk the players, but the game has so many bugs that I'm surprised it's still playable.
The game has a bunch of new bugs with every new patch, which are totally ignored even if you write them 100x times.
So I don't have high hopes for this game, I'm happy I can still play it.

My fellow exile in Dominus you have 36 chall I think you can play the game fine.

I'd be more concerned after 2 is released 1 goes gently into that good night

I wrote a big phrase about the three ways poe will be changed after poe2 launch but dumped it because at the moment I'm optimistic about poe chances, six months ago I wasn't, I mean you don't tinker with league mechanics bringing stuff from poe2 to 1 if you're gonna shutter it. Guess we'll see.
