Announcing Path of Exile: Legion

someone was rumoring 4.0 was coming out at the end of the year. Love that they are trying to change melee skills.

Imo I would rather see action rpgs compete with each other with a massive patch every year and a half. Between wolcen, last epoch, project lineage, lost arc, grim dawn, torchlight (maybe D4 if D3 falls into the void), there is enough action rpg's to learn how to create massive expansion packs while fixing the game criticism's as opposed to short patches. For examples grim dawns repetitive environments which are massive areas. Growing up on the old final fantasy games, there was nothing like the excitement of the next one coming out. Its all about the new journey, not the new small group of enemies.

Hope the melee revamps are better and more balanced now. imo, With range attacks the best skills can switch league from league however with melee they all need to be more balenced with none left out. If cyclone and molten strike are 80% of all melee builds its nothing new really. Nobody wants to play a weaker melee attack as opposed to a spell/projectile/trap/totem/miner/golem/brand with less dps but awesome attack/cast speed movement speed and area of effect. That awesomeness just does not apply to melee as of 3.4 anyway.

Because this re-formulates breach, which already exists in-game, there's some reason to hope that the implementation will be relatively smooth. Also, I like the effort being made to give players more control over how their characters move in-game.

One possible problem to arise is that if its assumed we have control and everything is balanced around that, then our ability to see and read what's happening may start to matter more. If that's the case, then a later wave of player concerns may focus on how hard it is to see and read through lots of effects simultaneously happening (an issue now, and it could matter more if we're expected to be able to easily get out of the way of any one-shot in the future).

Hyyyyype!!!
Synthesis was such a waste, Don't do it again, love u ggg <3

Next year at the earliest.

June 2019: 3.7
September 2019: 3.8
December 2019: 3.9
March 2020: 4.0

There are rumors GGG are purposfully waiting for Blizzard to announce Diablo 4 so they can one-up it, so if Diablo 4 isn't revealed this year that will delay 4.0 and we'll get 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 etc until Diablo 4 is announced. So we could still be years away from 4.0 if Diablo 4 continues to not appear at Blizzcon.

wolcen - lol
last epoch - lol
project lineage - no idea
lost arc - straight up p2w
grim dawn - great game slower paced
torchlight - classic and will always be fondly remember just like d2 and people will forget about the shit parts
d4 - being actiblizz you can be assured your set items will come from loot boxes available for $4.99 1 in 50 chance of random set item odds

there isnt a single other arpg right now or the near future that comes close to poe other then grim dawn

Why is it purple again?

Anyone else annoyed by the "kill me first" tags they're putting over the heads of some of the monsters?

TIME TO SPIN TO WIN!

Some random "movement" skills for melee

Tiny buffs to melee ascendancy

No 2h melee buffs?

Thats what you guys call a melee rework?

Really?

Yikes, what a let down

How do you know there aren't other melee buffs? I expect most, if not all, melee skills will have been revamped.

I also expect a lot more melee uniques have been revamped more generally.

What makes you think there are more revamps and buffs to melee? This is the expansion announcement, if not here then they don't exist.

I don't know, maybe just maybe because they said they are going to rebalance them in the manifesto after the trailer, and what would you know, they did literally the same thing with spells last league? They will continue to release new skill gems and stuff like that in the upcoming days, like they always did, and the information on skill tree and ascedancy changes will be up when patch notes hit, like it always was
You are literally getting angry and bitter for no reason
