Respeccing skill tree will cost gold and increase with character level instead of using Orb of Regret in PoE 1. Whole Orbs thing as currency instead of gold in PoE 1 was pretty iconic mechanic for this title so it’s weird change.
BTW, you know that the basic idea of PoE2 and D4 (D4 before release) seems to be similar, which is a slower kind of gameplay and your choices should matter (the “cementing of characters” comment from the devs hence the increasing respec cost).
Ultimately D4 devs relented to players’ requests over time.
They should definitely slow down gameplay. It’s out of control in PoE 1 endgame how fast characters become 1 hit clearing whole screen and so much effect noise there’s zero vision and no idea what’s happening.
Let me get this straight POE2 will replace 1 currency for a different currency. This is truly groundbreaking news that all of us here on the Diablo 4 forums need to know. Do you have a twitch stream we can promote to get this news out to the masses?

well considering ggg just copy pasted d2 to create poe, did you expect them not to borrow ideas from other arpgs?
At least GGG is willing to learn from other games and implement good mechanics in theyr game…so we player have the best possible game experience.
Sadly can’t say the same for Actiblizz and D4…Not for now, but hope this will change in future.
And as a player I don’t care who had the idea first, for me it’s just important if the game has interesting story, lore & loot, engaging & fluent fight animations, endgame replayability, versatile activities and all the QOL of other games in this genre.
