WHY DID POE 2 NOT TAKE AN APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT PATH?

STEP 1: 3 Classes & 6 Ascendencies
STEP 2: Campaign Acts 1-6
STEP 3: Endgame

Endgame
- Adds some base content and mechanics from POE 1.
- Allows to target farm those with atlas tree and map device.
- Allows to chose map layout to complement class/skills.

(This should have been 0.1.0)

Step 4: Gather data and observe, create lessons learned list.
Step 5: Improve/Expand/Rebalance/Update Step 1-3.
Step 6: Deploy changes.

Major changes:
- Improved and optimized performance of endgame / campaign.
- Release of a new class and ascendency and new skills plus gear.

(This should have been 0.2.0)

Step 7: Gather data and observe, create lessons learned list.
Step 8: Improve/Expand/Rebalance/Update Step 1-3.
Step 9: Deploy changes.

Major changes:
- Temporarily finalizing campaign / endgame and adding more QoL.
- Release of new class(es) / ascendencies / skill(s) / gear.

(This should have been 0.3.0)

Step 10: Performance check for endgame / campaign and player acceptance/replayability til 1.0.
Step 11: Improve/Rebalance Core aspects of the game according Step 10.
Step 12: Main focus on more classes / ascendencies / league mechanics til 1.0.

(Now we should be in 0.4.0 and iterate Step 10-12 until we hit 1.0.0)


It feels like GGG is all over the place how 0.1.0 - 0.4.0 played out.
According to the player count, 0.4 is likely to be the necropolis league of POE2.

Anyone has thoughts about this?

You do know game is still in beta and not actual released?

Read the post again and think why there is an interation for Step 10-12.

I can't believe your armchair can stand such your development power.

Because screw the players and take their money.

That's why.

A more reasonable development path was to give us a Character who could start anywhere on the Talent Tree and focus on creating Weapon Skills and Spells for the game, in preparation for the implementation of the actual classes.
