ACT V - hints already in game!

Act V Hype? :3

There is another one in Zana's new dialogue (I think it's the Research topic): She mentions the Ossuary and the Temple of Innocence, and as Innocence is mentioned in the artbook announcement, I guess those are two Act V areas.

now finally some good news.

I just HOPE there is gonna be some sort of area we can farm with a boss like BAAL in the end to party with other people and farm for exp and drops over and over..

Chris during "Lioneye's Watch" podcast said that next update will be normal challenge league and GGG is preparing big update for next year.

once they release act 5 they need to consider how much content exists
in the base game before endgame.

where once we were done the base game after dominus (or piety before that)
we started mapping at ilvl 66.

new content showed up massively and the maps got set to 68.

the goal of maps is largely to keep us occupied until the base
game is more fleshed out.

so act 5? the question is will maps move up to ilvl 70 or all the
way to ilvl 75? the new base game areas in act 5 are gonna have to be
70+

2p.com: 'Anything you can say about the 3.0.0 patch?'

Chris: "We are trying to release that early next year, kind of the end of the first quarter, or beginning of the second. It's pretty big, certaintly the largest expansion we have done so far because it introduces the Act V. We don't really want to promote it too much at the stage. We just want people to know that is coming and that is something to look foward to."

2p.com: 'I may be pushing it... but anything you can further add about the Act V?'

Chris: "Is coming next year, and is looking very cool. Is certaintly the most impressive act we've done so far, which is kind of fitting, because is kind of the end of our current storyline. We have to make sure that is the most climaxing act."

oh boy

I wonder when they will open the game up (a la Skyrim) and let us begin at Lioneye's Watch and then wander wherever we want in Wraeclast doing quests as we see fit. Give us the entire map at the start. Better characters could go to harder places. Maps would be folded into regular play and drops scaled to player level. A standard story line could be laid out, but could be abandoned at any time. Waypoints could provide fast travel interesting places. One rout between two cities might be a long gorge populated with beasts while another would take you through jungle.

They have a cool world, and I hope one day we get to play it all as we see fit. They could still do races, but the ladders would have to change.

Anyway, that's my two cents. I am looking forward to Act 5 though. :)

Yeah Zana hinted great things, she whispered "lube" to me.

Really looking forward to it!

(I might sound as a slowpoke, so don't judge me :D)
I think (after reading the second answer), that Act 5 will be the last "last" act in the game a.k.a "the end".

So if i got it right (right now) - when GGG said "we want 10 Acts", maybe they meant 2 difficulties and 5 "acts". So, technically, we approach the conclusion of the whole story...

I might be wrong.

I wonder how would they "extend" the story\gameplay after that if i'm not wrong.
