POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur Should Be A RIDICULOUS "Farewell" To Path Of Exile 1...

Yesterday's Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur teaser may have only been 24 seconds long, but there's plenty we can speculate about. Anyways, we have two weeks to talk about PoE 3.25, let's get started in a rather UNHINGED manner...

THIS IS BUT A FRACTION OF MY INSANITY, are you hyped for Settlers of KALGUUR?

[@codhcod4949]

fishing mechanics finally introduced?

[@Shadyguy111]

The teaser has sheep and boxes of resources in the background after he gets off the ship. If that's not a sign of Settlers of Catan I don't know what is.

[@captaincruloc3200]

I know its silly, but I love the subtle movement of the ramp as he's walking on it and the ship is moving up and down slightly in the water, then when he steps off. Plus the way he walks down and steps off the ramp. I love the subtle nuances they've animated in that clip.

[@reznovvazileski3193]

Hmm true most leagues have pretty basic one word names. Synthesis, Betrayal, Sanctum, Blight. Expansions tend to have these longer Something of Location/Target kind of names. Atlas of Worlds, Conqueror's of the Atlas, Fall of Oriath. This definitely feels like an endgame expansion to me based on that marketing trend they've been following. Though to be completely fair here, TotA did break that pattern as well so it's not a guarantee before we get our hopes up too much.

[@xKingRognarx]

actually third theory doesn't sounds stupid - it would be cool to connect games in more ways and knowledge of that the Kingsmarsh was "built" by players is just amazing (like when Sirus and his henchmen was released - they essentialy were our previous characters that went out of control) Tala Moana, Tri!

[@xKingRognarx]

i have a feeling that i like this new league :D

[@xKingRognarx]

4th theory is not contradicting with other theories and we haven't seen an expansion for quite a while, sooooo i hope for the best

[@Tryfe712]

Prediction from me : we will build Kingsmarch during this expansion to have a smooth transition to PoE2. Crazy prediction (won't happen) : they will test Poe 2 mapping system in this league.

[@BaconDrive]

Testing some elements of poe 2s mapping system might be a good idea though. Getting a headstart on community reaction

[@Tryfe712]

Yeah, pretty sure a lot of thing from past leagues where testing too

[@GankoInitiative]

Aug - Sep - Oct -Nov is when a 4 month league would end but that’s the POE 2 beta. My prediction, six month league.

[@impo997]

without watching the video, I'd guess (or rather - I'd like the league to be): core: city builder (very similar to Anno games) mechanics - considering theres Danni the top G and Faustus: - refreshed heist: you fight with crime in your town by infiltrating criminals' hideouts there (although that sounds like betrayal... idk) - refreshed expedition: your town gets raided by kalguur armies emerging from the ground - atlas: I think that a town should be able to be self-sufficient without going mapping, although maps could have some resources that would boost the progression, like ale, spices etc. rewards: apart from Tujen & heist uniques, maybe a blacksmith that could produce crafting bases for you, or a church that would give a percentage boost to the effects of your pantheon, a tavern that would boost your xp gain, or even barracks for a permanent guard-minion that would aid you in maps what I dream of: you start with a port on your island. This port is used to trade with other players and is an introduction to POE2 auction house.

[@Zevrael]

PoE2's "auction house" (that's not quite how it will work) will not come to PoE1. It needs gold as an untradable resource to function (probably among other things).

[@beasthaven1571]

@@Zevraeldoes it need gold Poe1 auction house is pretty good so far

[@Zevrael]

​@@beasthaven1571 PoE1 doesn't have an auction house. The two players trading an item need to be in the same area in order to be able to trade. This won't be the case in PoE2. Its trade system works asynchronously, meaning the seller and buyer won't interact directly. First, the seller will put his item up for trade (which costs gold, an untradable currency that drops from doing content in the game). Second, the buyer will find it on the trade website and click "purchase" (or something to that effect). Third, the buyer will interact with an in-game system to pay for the item with both, the amount of currency the seller set as its price, and another gold fee. As far as I understand it, the gold fee needs to be there so people (and more importantly bots) can't trade in absurd volumes, preserving market stability and combatting the use of automation tools that are against PoE's terms of service. Importantly, this system is used for trading items in PoE2. Trading currencies will be even simpler, and incur lower gold fees. If such a system were to be implemented without these gold fees, the economy would be destroyed within hours of the start of a new league. That's why it can't be put into PoE1 (which doesn't have a currency like gold) just like that. PoE1 will need to find its own way to do asynchronous trading.

[@IllNacs]

​@@Zevraelthey already said they *may* add poe2 features retroactively into poe1 if they think it will be worth the work

[@Zevrael]

@@IllNacs Absolutely. I'm fully convinced that PoE1 will get an instant buyout system sooner or later and they're working on it as we speak, but as I said, the circumstances are different in both games, so they probably can't just copy-paste what they're doing in PoE2. That's why PoE2 is a standalone game in the first place.

[@nierjamnikomata4371]

Actually, if passive income (in case of Catan case) would be regulated by map completion / suphite spent / contracts completed for regular items and for special would be bossing / grand heist / uber bosses / syndicate house then... this might be great! You just literally tailoring board according to your game-play and get second benefit of this! Gosh, I wish synthesis come back one day... I really liked venture into the memory islands.

[@vandal_prime9934]

I love city builders and I may be even more hyped about Frostpunk 2 than I am about POE2. However, I am not sure how well that will play in POE2. I really want to see a pseudo 4.0 expansion, with all the cool stuff promised at Exilecon. :))

[@Azarath26]

How about it will be a new endgame map mechanic. And this dude Int the bg will draw maps for us?

[@TalkativeTri]

yes, i like that. it'll be like synthesis but on real islands!

[@Azarath26]

​@@TalkativeTriprobably not islands, more like heist. Kingsmarch as a hideout are and a big map map this guy will be drawing during completing quests. Delve + synthesis + heist.

[@eepopgames2741]

I think it could also be worth zooming out and brainstorming based not strictly on the video teaser, but on what meta concerns GGG has had on their mind as of late and how that might inform mechanically what we would could see. City builder seems like a safe bet, but the rewards from that could mean almost anything, not just passive income like Settlers of Catan is. Two big meta things lately seem to be QoL/automation options and making third party trade sites less necessary. They put in a fair number last league, but those were on relatively short turnarounds from Last Epoch release and the TFT blowup, so there are surely ideas they had which they did not have time to develop. They seem open to these kinds of quality of life updates, but also hesitant to "make things too easy". Having some structure where people pick and choose which QoL updates are important to them seems like a way to give lots of options here without giving all options to all players all the time. With that in mind, how might they skin a city builder mini game as a method of opening up more of these kinds of options? You can flavor all the options as building whatever home/shop some NPC needs to operate out of. Smuggler/Fence: Some number of instant buy-out sale slots that you do not need to be online for or manually trade yourself. Porter: Invulnerable minion that follows you and automatically opens doors and chests within a radius of you. Currency Exchange: Basically vendor currency recipes, but with a better UI and slightly better rates. Probably still not as efficient as if you wanted to actually do player to player trades for, but can save you time and not have to deal with non-responders, etc. This doubles in importance as a release valve to keep the game stable long term if player numbers go down with the release of PoE 2. Currency items are pretty vital to the player experience, but if the population goes down, it might make some things that are trivial now with a thriving market harder without it. Anthropologist/Archeologist: Fossils and Tattoos. Jeweler: Convert Scarabs from one type to another. Navigator: NPC that hangs out near the map device and somehow makes running maps more convenient/faster. etc

[@ramus9555]

Synthesis 2.0 is what I've been waiting for since 2019, but the Catan style seems appealing too. I think there's a very high chance next PoE1 league is a Delve update, since they know they want that for PoE2.

[@aaronhoerst668]

I just want us circling a whirlpool on the boat, fighting a massive kraken! Hoards of enemies rush the boat to destroy it, as you load / repair cannons, masts, etc.

[@dczech4138]

It would be interesting if in these league, you could choice "focus" with reward type. For example lets say you can choose/focus on some type of settlers, settlements and choose between crafters (crafting focused), merchants (league currency+shop), explorers/hunters (focused on MF and map juicing) etc.

[@jugg3r]

What if New expansion concludes expedition events and city builder replace expedition. Why? In expedition league Kalgurans were sending expeditions to wareclast to excavate settelemts left after ancient kalugarns. When Dannig say his line in the trailer, it can mean that they settled in the wareclast and dont want to send expeditions anymore. The idea of "We exiles" building a city "later" named Kimgsmarch is great. Why? AFAIK poe2 takes place 20 years after poe 1 so it's may be enougth time to build city. I know it's late (2:30AM) and I may write wreid ideas but that's my guess.

[@Zenbubbles]

I actually think there is merit in the fourth theory, but mostly because GGG might make this an extended league and have it last much longer than normal. PoE2 is coming in November, which is around the time for the next league. They can't be thinking of launching PoE2 alongside the next PoE1 league, right? So perhaps they are going to make this a bigger expansion (or 2 phases) so they can keep the PoE1 community happy while they shift their focus completely to PoE2 for a time.

[@ebon227]

My prediction is - dont hype yourself that much. Kalandra league (biggest mystery of the game) shown us something. It was dogshit but everyone wondered a lot like this. The reality is.. They are heavilly working on PoE 2. They are even late with everything so they have to hurry. If you think they are doing something extremly massive during this stressful time then you are most likely wrong as hell. It is almost fact that it will be settler resource managment minigame with some balance changes. Nothing really THAT special as you are expecting.

[@TalkativeTri]

i was so excited for kalandra and....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@dreamcore_gg]

CITY BUILDER!

[@reznovvazileski3193]

I mean I see no reason why they can't do both. Or should I say can't do boat? :P Settlers of Catan is actually incredibly compatible with the synthesis system. You have to pave roads to expand your resource network and build an empire anyway, why not make that in the synthesis format and pretend we're sailing there by boat? They've even got debuff modifiers if you think about it. Volcanoes can be mighty annoying for one...

[@bblouise1372]

I think you hit the nail on the head there when you mentioned about building King's March. Thinking about it makes a lot of sense.

[@baholete]

it's about time for a big expansion

[@_mug_3230]

i'm thinking this is gonna replace heist because both isla and faustus are there

[@HolographicThoughts]

They just seem like thematic NPCs to highlight for being traders. Why would heisting change?

[@fantasyfighter98]

I think they have been testing poe 2 potential mechanics in poe 1 leagues for a while, and I think this is a test to see if we like poe 2's endgame (as far as I know that's not really talked about that much). Or alternatively get poe 1 a bit more similar to poe 2 endgame in a way to make future development easier for it. So an expansion makes sense.

[@ShadowofProvidence]

Im legit expecting the board game scenario where we have have to defend tiles and things we build to earn resources which are various game currencies.

[@johnturtle6649]

We have had it twice before with synthesis and kalandra, I see no reason they wouldn't repeat the idea.

[@GemanDugz]

Me personally I think it might be the new iteration of Expedition League, where they will implement a whole new system or mechanic to the Expedition that we already know, and make it into an entirely different/new thing.

[@Ethereal311]

As a big 4X player and designer, I really like that 3rd City Builder idea. Maybe take inspiration from Fallout 4? (Not a big Fallout guy but this definitely feels the most applicable)

[@Matromm]

I hope that this expansion will let you use all past leauges and upgrade them in citi builder like style - do missions kill bosses and "open" new/old mechanics

[@MrSpyrax]

GGG likes using PoE 2 assets for current PoE 1 leagues (Sanctum, Necropolis, Affliction). But this time we are visiting a PoE 2 place that is under development. This is not a coincidence. We will help the Kalguraans settle into Wraeclast and build houses, farms, stores... What if 3.25 brings GGG's version of the Anno series ? City-building, trading, resource management... These are aspects that can fit I believe, but when are we slaying monsters, then ? The Kalguraans are quite unique because of their use of Ward and Runes instead of Thaumaturgy and gems. I'm expeting crafting to be a part of 3.25. Melee overhaul is also expected to be present. Tier 17 maps failed as a design, a massive rework will be welcomed. As hopes, I'd like to see Ascendancy, unique items, monsters and campaign areas reworks. PoE 2's developement is not an excuse, if GGG knows how to make a better game in every aspect, PoE 1 deserves better too. Also, we should note that this teaser has some kind of post-production to it, because I'm fairly confident the game engine doesn't render anything above the horizon. Here we can see the sky and higher terrain behind the post area. I wonder why go the extra mile for a 20 second long teaser ?

[@Cryttanz]

I wonder what peoples definition of a boat league is. Do we collect boats? Do we fight boats? Do we command a fleet of boats and send them on missions. What kind of interactions with boats are required for it to be a boat league? Seing Dannig arrive on a boat is not enough to call it a boat league to me 😅

[@Xisoah]

As someone that's played a thousand hours of civ 5 and civ 6 respectively they definitely could make like a city conquering( option 3) like having you build up the resources of your civilation or enemy civilizations kinda like lake of kalandra but its growing more powerful instead of how you just put a tile down. then you either collect your civilizations resources(divine orbs,Regrets,chromatics, or uniques) or raid the enemy bases that have grown. they could take their pick tbh.

[@sylverxyz]

Really well thought out ideas here dude! Enjoyed the lore references, using KingsMarch would be a really good example of how PoE1 can benefit from PoE2's assets and development on a whole other level.

[@xXDEUC35Xx]

This was a bit longer than expected lol sorry about that. If they do some sort of city builder, it would be awesome if you could have a blacksmith/jeweler/armorer/alchemist where you can go to them to have certain things crafted and they ask you to go and get specific items. Could be a number of currency items, or maybe a list of unique items necessary to "recombine" (from sentinel league) that will make the rare item you're looking to have or something along those lines. Maybe you have to kill a certain amount of a specific mob, but with them experimenting with Necropolis this league where it was pretty much finding these corpses in the world and bringing it back to your morgue, you could craft an item. Well a lot of players didn't take part in the mechanic, but they were very sought out items. I'm thinking they liked the creativity people had, but want more people to engage VOLUNTARILY with the league mechanic to keep player retention. I think a lot of players, if they had incentive to engage while it still is rewarding, they would. That may be a way they could do that. I know that sort of goes against how they like to do things, they like the RNG aspect of crafting, but it could still be there. Even though you bring these items back and you have your blacksmith etc craft these items, they may not come out EXACTLY how you want, but somewhere in the ball park where you'd have to go out and get a different list of items. I think it could work. But it's obviously just speculation. Not even a theory. And maybe there would be a miner, where you can have them go out into the world and find things and to keep players logging in daily, they'd have these things waiting for you each day, say at 8 am in your local time or NZ time if it's too difficult to do that. I do think your Synthesis 2.0 idea was interesting as well. I wasn't around during that league, but it almost reminds me of Lake Of Kalandra in a way where you're creating your map layout by actually doing the map as opposed to just having pieces on a board that you're putting together to then create the map. I really like your ideas though. Very thought provoking.

[@xKingRognarx]

yeah Lake of Kalandra was a simplier version of Synthesis i haven't played it as much as other leagues but i think it was fun, players mostly hated not that part where you make paths and make your own map, but rewards from it - they were TOO RaNdOm. I think GGG learned a lesson from that and now they make random outcomes at least predictable :D And about city builder - you've just read my mind - i immidietly thought about smiths and jewelers that make something for you))

[@xXDEUC35Xx]

@xKingRognarx would be awesome right? Slightly deterministic without us having 100% control, and having us complete objectives to get the reward we want or something closer. Would also help through the leveling process, unlike last league where they SAID we would get some food stuff even on league start but ended up having to face some of the hardest content ever on a league start lol those mods were brutal on a fresh start. Hopefully they throw us a bone this league lol

[@dacco9414]

Almost 20k!!🥳

[@harrynazarian3184]

Awesome video, would love to see more videos with Hawg, Dreamcore, and SylverXYZ. I think you four would be great PoE commentators and have some good discussion, especially since Hawg is getting more and more versed with PoE :) Hopefully a future interview with Mark Roberts with all 4 of you together!

[@MXKAMAL]

i will go with we build kings march and its big expansion that will make people go back to peo1 after the beta release of poe2 so its for players retention

[@krasimirdimitrov4955]

I hope its not an ultimatum rip off you have to move rewards with a boat and get attacked by monsters and the more rewards you get the more monsters...

[@Keschoo]

They could make us sailing from island to island while we need to defend ship from ocean creatures that's are attacking ship (reuse) simulacrum mechanic😅 Further we go more hard it's getting and your ship can sink due to fighting huge bosses! Prepare your fishing rods it's time to go fishing!! While mapping you gather resources to build/rebuild/upgrade your ship and deliver them to new township you die during sailing, go again

[@ER3G]

Interesting ideas. I was most interested in the idea of ​​Settlers of Catan. I think it could be interesting to build a new settlement out of pieces for getting passive income from raw materials, crafting and achieving achievements. For example, with the turn progression procedure. If in order to add some parts of the settlement, it would be necessary to complete some tasks in Delv, clear the map from the Atlas, reach a certain location or perform beastcrafting, etc. Interestingly done, I would welcome it as another endgame mechanic.

[@Cryttanz]

If we're following the 4month cadence, wouldn't the next season release the same month as early access? 😅 July, August, september, October? Late october or early november PoE 1 league... Very close in time to early access release.

[@Nikolaki514]

I AM SO HYPED!

[@banishedbr]

I don't need a theory, they showed us the Kalguur in a town as npcs, they ofc would make a league that shows how shit gone that way, i'm surprise it came that early, which shows they had it planned before the game split into 2. They wanted this to be how it get to PoE 2 situation.

[@MXKAMAL]

i am the most interested in this comment can explain more? what u mean we see them in town u mean at act6? and why its so early if by end of this league we get poe2? it should be perfect right?

[@banishedbr]

@@MXKAMAL i meant actual game time, cuz poe is like 20 years in the "future", that is what i meant, yeah it was shown in PoE2 vids idk what act it was, but i expected some content since expedition is really good.

[@chucklong5307]

I dunno man... this was not Faustas going to Dannig...it was Dannig coming to Faustas... perhaps they are expanding the Rogue Harbor and the league will be based on Heist

[@gregorybrazell5133]

It'll be something ambitious... but, not like Necropolis was. This league is going to be something they'd have been working on to bridge with PoE2, so will have been in the works getting fine-tuned for years to work WITH the new game. To that end, I could see something like, maybe, an expansion system to 'fill out' the world beyond the main areas we have already been working with. Maybe like the atlas, but with islands, and building settlements on them (perhaps). So, sort of the 'Cataan' approach, but mixed with the 'Synthesis 2.0' idea. Not saying it would be something that fixes anything in the actual lore or canon. Although, I could also see that part of the league competition-wise would be that the top players' settlements or whatever, or maybe top voted on, or something... 'could' end up being taken in by GGG and added to PoE2 as a reward. Although, the settlement locations might be fixed, as well, and we are just going to be helping to do the exploration, helping build the places that already ARE going to be in PoE2, not just the main cities, which presumable would already exist at this point. But, sort of building stuff like a Lioneye's Watch kind of location. This would breed a sense of familiarity and legacy. I remember playing Everquest, and loving all of the locations (like Misty Thicket and the Wall), really digging into the lore and histories. BUT, when I went and played EQOA? I got to see things being built, because it was 500 years before. I saw the rudimentary structures that were the Wall in Misty Thicket as they were centuries before. When I played EQ2, I got to see the future of these same locations! It made the history come alive, and I could really say that my characters in the other games were famous heroes of lore, that they had helped settle, build, etc. So, with PoE2 being some time after the events of PoE1, perhaps having this league bring new mechanics of some kind, but also tying in with locations to be revealed? They wouldn't be the same, because with 1-5 years (or however long the gap is), things change. It would be even more difference than between the first half and second half of PoE1 (Acts 1-5 vs Acts 6-10- which are less than a year different, but radically changed). Yet, could easily give us a sense of exploration into what we will see in PoE2, as well as that feeling of "Yeah, my guy was there, he helped build this!"

[@mromg8282]

I hope this Catan has the knights expansion

[@kristofferv]

why did you unsub from the reddits?

[@beasthaven1571]

That’s big brain as hell. If we built out kings mark before poe2 then play from there won’t we feel more connected to poe2 😅holy crap brains thinking in overdrive that would be a total game producer move people wouldn’t really believe would happen but would be amazing.

[@esvbanARPGs]

I think Poe 3.26 won't be until next year, however I think if Poe 2 is really good and has enough content, I don't think many people will stop playing poe2 for 3.26, except for the people that don't like Poe 2 gameplay I still want to make a melee stun ignite build work, it was almost there in 3.24.

[@beasthaven1571]

Please hexblast still be there ima play both. Next league will be my first occultist playthrough/ witch

[@Cryttanz]

They have called every single league an expansion for a long time now. Not sure how people are missing this. They also stopped with massive the end of year end game "expansions" around the same time..

[@Stratocaster42]

Yeah but they didn't separate it in the same way

[@JanPapiezGaming]

delve mixed with maps + some city builder creation is my theory xdd

[@HeartsOfGrey]

👇 if you thought the Elder was going to assassinate him.

[@alexwallin6401]

imagine if they take inspiration from Runescape for some league down the road...

[@cizalto]

I think last idea is a bit too crazy as they reworked a lot of end game stuff last league. As for the first idea I like the board building part. But I would prefer if it behave more like old war between shape and elder. With wraeclast corruption trying to get back lands/cells you control.

[@ChaosUdk]

I am sure that PoE will not "Steal" current PoE players... I am sure most will jump in between the two like 1 1/2 month on each since that what GGG have said the cadence would be so one will not steal the others players..... I can say that is what i will be doing!

it's gonna be another forgettable league that people will remember for its QoL/balance changes(maybe they'll put it a "hinekora's lock" type thing for rich folk) like necropolis and it's apparent that theory 3 is the best here.Which makes even more sense because if they do that like u said will connect poe 1 with poe 2

[@porotorodriguez2070]

I love Catan, lol

[@ExiphVG]

id like a video on why you unsubbed from the reddits

[@daath912]

I make a short written Version for you, only 3 words: reddit is reddit. You can replace the 2nd reddit with words like garbage, shit, whatever you like I would still watch the video... 😂

[@Jameshowardadventures]

i love city builders and im all for it.. but the amount of time they have to get it good, i dont think you can "just make a city builder" you know what i mean? just look at the state of necropolis, harvest etc.. the UI was so bad and the mechanics were terrible. like, forget all the complexity of a city builder for a second, and just think about a city builder with terrible UI. i dont care how good the city builder is, if the UI is trash its going to be trash.

[@Prophocy408]

City builder sounds terrible. I hope that's not what we get.

Seriously tired of the "farewell" garbage people are spewing about PoE1..... Unless I missed some massive news, GGG already stated that both games will exist even after PoE2 launch, both will have their own dev teams, and both will be on separate league cycles. If you think PoE2 is going to be SOOOOOO amazing that you won't put it down until the next PoE2 league launch, then I hate to break it to you, but you're setting yourself up for some major disappointment. On top of that, I haven't seen anything from the gameplay trailers and first hand streamer footage that makes me want to play PoE2 at all outside of "ooo shiny new thing". I can almost guarantee you right now that if PoE2 launches with gameplay similar to what we've seen so far, it will be what I play in my downtime waiting for PoE1 leagues and nothing more.

PoE is dead for me, especially since the last league. They ruined the most important aspect of PoE: the diverse end game. They have done that with scarabs. Hyped for LE now.

[@renediffie]

I think you've said "this one is bigger than usual" about every league since I started following you.

[@bradreeder7635]

You forgot theory #5. It sucks. I would bet on this one. I'm so sick of POE1, I'll wait for POE2. And, to be honest, I am not hyped whatsoever for POE2. GGG changed gameplay so much by adding crap I hate (As in a stupid dash mechanic, and generally slowing the entire game down) that I am not optimistic.

[@blazewagon5677]

maybe this is the league where crucible makes a return and I can finally redeem myself

[@TheBudgieMasher]

I'd love them to readd crucible style weapon trees but without the dog shit mechanic

For the cowgirl!

[@JadedEvild0er]

I would love to see another 20 second clip where Faustus meets up with Jun or Alva or Niko, and then continue the streak. I would love a league where it became kind of a meta-league (Avengers style) where it emphasizes playing the range of existing past league mechanics. Maybe you farm different "Catan" resources from different leagues, etc. I played a lot of Heist and Delve this league. I feel like there are dozens I could still dive into and truly learn, Betrayal, Blight, Incursion. Incentivize me to go wide on content that is already in the game. I think this would also benefit creators, and players. I would love updated content on playing any of those leagues I mentioned rather than 2- or 3-year-old videos that might not be valid anymore.

[@Azarath26]

Why should they make an expansion if poe2 will take most of the player base? Why should they develope poe1 more? Expansion makes no sense.

[@daath912]

I will still play poe1 and a lot of others will, too. My poe2 hypelevel ist 3/10. GGG can put them in a Position that's new in gaming: have 2 of the biggest games in a genre instead of beeing the biggest game.

[@Azarath26]

@@daath912 opposite to what blizz did to overwatch. If that's right they will aim to update the assets and leave the mechanics. Or at least character models and rigs.

[@daath912]

@@Azarath26 overwatch 1 is still a thing? Wasn't it allready dead befor ow2 was announced? I can't tell if you are sarcastic or not, I don't play blizzard games anymore since 2014 something.

[@Azarath26]

@@daath912 no no, I think you might be right. Blizz just killed overwatch leaving sequell as a successor. So keeping both games on a high standard could be something new entirely.

[@daath912]

@@Azarath26 Think about it, GGG is a 200+ Person Company. 30 work on poe1(which is the same or less then now), 50 work on poe2. That's 120 left to work on poe3 :D

It's boat league. boat league btw. Did I say boat league? boat league

Boat league WITH a city builder

[@fast1nakus]

Given that there are only a couple of guys working on expansion for just several months, it can't be anything big or complex. Otherwise, what we get is just a bug festival. Whatever it will be, one thing is certain - the ui is gonna be crap, as always.
