ACT V - hints already in game!

Because you will be taken to another area beyond the map of wraeclast... So the current map in act 4 towards the ladder goung to the higher premises and there the map would stop (map paper) and inteoduce the second part of the map upwards as it continues... The story is long not over ;-)

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

personally im not. its because they dont do any proper scaling after the act. think about it when we didnt even have ACT 4.

at that time the transition between normal -> cruel after beating dominus wasnt so huge. after they added ACT 4 it was like they just tacked on a huge difficulty step to the end of the game. after that though that same trasition normal -> cruel this time after beating malachi was absurd because it was like going from super hard to incredibly easy, clearing all of the first act with no trouble at all.

i hesitate to think what will happen when they add ANOTHER act on to the end.

On the good side, act4 ending will become easier, GGG always does it to previous Big Bad when new one comes out.

Before releasing act5, what about finish/fixing act4?

I dont wanna be negative about act 4 but, from my personal experience and looks like other feel the same, it could be better

Oh sure. Let's all wait another three months because Act 4 gets an average score in your straw poll. I don't want new bosses, new maps, new monsters, and a new town hub as much as getting that average up to a straight 7.0! Eat your member berries folks and enjoy the Act1 and 2 nostalgia. There is nothing in the first three acts that can stand next to Daresso's Dream. There is nothing that looks better than Acquaduct, and there is no more fun place to farm than Dried Lake.

Also...have you checked your math this time?

take a bucket with 2 litre of shit, now add 2 litre of the purest water on earth in it and stir

What do you get? A bucket with 4 litres of shit, not pur water



Adding more content won't make act3 and act4 better.

I wish the best for GGG's creations but usually you try to get something right before moving to
The next thing, otherwise you might just recreate the same mistakes. IMHO, act 3 part 1 was ok, part 2 was bad and act 4 beyond dried lake is terrible and I fear act 5 just continues this downward spiral, hope not



Note : instead of being ass constantly picking on 1 attention error, you should be the one looking at the maths of how many people hate a4

I did. And indeed you may want to update them. I also reread the whole thread. I happen to disagree of course. I think Act 2 is the drizzling shits and have since 2013. I cannot see the point of view where someone would enjoy Act 1 and 2 over Act 3 and 4, but hey ya'll are entitled to your opinion. You throw your polls of 1300 salty posts around like they are representative. I have my doubts. I just hope Act 5 is alot more like Act 4 than Act 2.

Edit: Didn't your poll say Act 4 was average? Average either means as many people love it as hate it, or it's "fine." You draw whatever conclusions you had initially from your polls no matter what they say, which makes you a bit of a sorry figure.

Chris: "because is kind of the end of our current storyline.

I think (after reading the second answer), that Act 5 will be the last "last" act in the game a.k.a "the end".

I've bolded the important part that 'proves' you wrong ^^

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

Again: no. It was clearly stated that they aim to make it a single playtrough in the end.

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

It could be possible to add further content more 'sidewards' instead of linear storyline expansions. Obviously, its strange to imagine what still could come after all that stuff that already 'happened' behind Piety (as kind of 'original' final) - especially considering that we are now barely at the half of the aimed ten acts... We'll see; time will tell...

IT was years ago, things might have changed

I DEFINITELY want to be wrong here.
Long live the PoE ^_^

That "idea" just came to my head after reading the interview, but yeah, i hope we would get some awesome "story twist" and then interesting climaxing point.

By the way, with all the "lore" GGG already made, it should be relatively easy to incorporate "side-stories" and "ancestral events" to the (core or temporal) game in some kind of "Atziri-like" leagues\mechanics.
Can't wait... ;D
