Content Update 0.4.0 — Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids

Always appreciate the hard work GGG staff put into every update/league. I am looking forward to Dec 12.

I was expecting different patch notes. This is risky.

Less and toughter mobs? It's a big change. Do you remember the Slog? Are you going to spend the next 6 months trying to fix the gameplay again? I hope you are doing the right move.
0.3 was good. Now, we dont know what we are going to play.

No more omogenizationg stuff. Back to the slot machine.
I hope you added something else bejond a %50 to double corrupt or lose an item. That, to me, seems quite sick! (ultra-end-game)

Anti-boss-desintegration system. I hate that, for various reasons. I am going to say just two: Sekehemas and Chaos Temple. As you already said in the 0.3 twitch reveal, you should have fixed the mobs in the trials before adding a dmg debuff to the players.
No problem. As always, we are going to brake the game an the bosses anyway.
:D

Good, we have a new class. From the stream, it looked slow and static. I understood: you wanted to demonstrate the interactions. Result: i dont know what to think. Huntress presentation seemed phenomenal, a blast. The druid was just Meh... Does it work? Better to try those weapon skills on other classes.


In the end, I have just one question. Was this reveal done badly, or is POE2 going away from what i loved about 0.3?

I don't see any improvements in the game, the endgame is still terrible, and for every step forward, there are two steps back. Another patch I don't even plan to play.

Abyss + crafting
Delirium + simulacrums
Breach + bossing
Ritual + bossing
General mapping/farming + decent juicing with tower overlap gone
Arbiter + increasing difficulties
Map specific bossing (the ones that provide fragments)
Expeditions + bossing

New league mechanic which is going to scale into endgame
New class

With these amount of options you really have nothing to enjoy? Let me just say this, if you aren’t enjoying any of it, you’re beyond help and this game isn’t for you. 0.4 too, only going to improve.

mov speed nerfed ? no end game rework ? density nerfed ? what the hell is this patch , druid looks cool but at what cost, the changes related to end game seems to do nothing , less juice on maps and more on tablet
Please share with us when endgame changes are coming

removing the homogenising exaltation is such a bad thing for us normal players. we can't craft our own gear for reasonable amount anymore and it's giving the power to the crafting cartels again. well effing done...

This patch brings a new class that was difficult to design and implement, together with a pretty deep new league mechanic that adds to the crafting meta.

Balance changes are substantial and the patch is bringing a huge amount of passives to the tree.

0.4 will be the best state of Poe2 we have had so far.
