Comment from Mark Roberts about fixing POE2's endgame

Interestingly PoE1 just adopted some PoE2 endgame into it. No more specific maps, and are now generic like PoE2, but the Atlas is still not infinite.

I think this is what PoE2 should do as well. Keep the 3D map, but have it be of Wraeclast with specific map locations.

so why even make a whole new system for endgame in the first place , its like they are afraid to keep what was great about poe1 , everything has to be differnet for the sake of being different

All I can say is that I won't be playing if they don't shorten the campaign. I've played it 15 times or more and I just can't anymore it's no fun. I had way more fun in the endgame than ever in the campaign. Except the very first time.

Can't wait for the new in-game

I’m expecting a massive update. if there was really any chance of getting end game updates in to 0.4 then that means they must have already been fairly far in to development. In total that should mean 0.5 updates should have had more time to cook than the average season unless they were so far off the mark that it cut in to 0.5 efforts.

Tbf the campaign so far is almost on a good state and is seem to be completed soon. Give it maybe about 2 to 3 more leagues for them to fully addressed the campaign and right after that it might be all about end game contents from there, from years and years to come :)

Imo they should focus purely on endgame as well as build diversity, game balance etc and finish the campaign for the game release patch. Campaign is in a solid state since they added Act 4 and interludes. Doing Act 1-3 twice was rough.

Campaign will always be a stepping stone for many and is a slither of the full experience, as endgame is where you keep pushing and spend most hours. At least for players who are fans of the game or aren’t extremely casual.

Inb4 we didn't have time to make all the changes we wanted

translations: want a lot of changes but no time due to prioritizing campaign

i can feel him, dev cycles can be brutally consuming
