Alright, we wait till the 19th are we to find out what the season will be. All the leaks prior to release you would think there would be a tiny one.
wouldn’t hold my breath over it…Blizzard has an impressive bar to maintain terms of letting people down…They will once again live to the challenge.

Theyve done a good job keeping things quiet but can I want a build up of teasers and not just a video of cogs/gears.
I just wana know… lol
maby colabo with grinding gear games ?
at least they can teach them how to make proper arpg
Rod hinted what the season is about in his Interview “Exploits are fun”.
And now he said “s3 will be a fun one.”
If PoE was as good as you say it would have a higher playerbase.
D2 1.09 will always be king but the days of having a leveling/MF journey are gone. D3 ruined that.
how does a company that didnt create an original game but copy pasted blizzard, teach blizzard how to make an arpg?

the arpg genre by that point had only a small number of major competitor in that time(shooter,rts). Mmorpgs were just doing babysteps(ultima,eq, daoc etc). No LoL, only a small Dota community. Mobile wasnt heard of.
Ofcourse poe isnt as big as d2, is much more difficult to reach people.
Im still curious how PoE2 will turn out after the devs said they were casting a wider net to attarct more ppl. It will likely lose the grind and become a lot more “casual friendly” clicker.
When D4 makes its final transformation to D3 that is when ill be done with the game. Hopefully that doesnt happen.

some things are much needed.
for example 6 link armor is a big barier for new players
this wont be the case in poe 2
they allso took dodge skill from diablo4 (lost ark has it too)
im happy if poe2 becomes a lot less bloated and easier to understand then poe1.
But i guess for me to be interesting, it needs a good SF/SFF mode like LE. Or i probably wont play long. Ive given up on any trading system, since it always gets abused, and i dont wanna play a trade simulator while playing an arpg. Im a competetive player, and if i have to utilize it to be competetive, it feels just wrong for me.

If im not mistaken they did say trade world work differently in PoE2. Im guessing they are trying to tackle the RMT/scamming that occurs.
I ended up doing an abnormal amount of MF runs in D2 because I hated being stuck in lobbies or using 3rd party fourms playing trade simulator. D2 drop rates were fine and fun having rare items.
I myself enjoy multiplayer more than anything SSF but there should be that opinion for those who want to play solo.

This is so stupid. Just because someone invented something doesnt mean someone else can improve it. Also I doubt D2 and D4 has he same dev team.
They talked about quite a few things that are coming already.
Same. Having 200% + MF was fun and exciting. I was right there with you running an absurd amount of MF boss runs.

It is just more hype to redo the same content with reskinned mobs.

Itemization fix just = everyone in eternal gotta re-farm their gear again. 
PoE2 has to be royally screwed up for it not to be able to casually stroll into the premier ARPG of the decade. The competition is not very good.
Last Epoch has some great ideas, but it kind of plays like it’s 10 years old. I’m pretty sure at worst PoE2 will be looked at as about as good as Last Epoch. But I anticipate PoE2 to be the Diablo 2 of this decade. It will likely be universally beloved and perhaps have a breakout in popularity like Baldur’s Gate 3 did, breaking genre grounds with demographics.
Im going to go out on a limb and say the first duel helltide color. Half blue and half black.
