My thoughts on 1.0 details! .... Oh wait, there are no details.

Sounds like you shouldn't be playing an ARPG.

Why because I don't feel like playing stale content during the longest open beta... ever?

If act 3x doesn't come along with a totally revamped mapping system it's game over.

Yes, because ARPGs are all about 'playing stale content'. Just look at every single ARPG out there. I think PoE is doing a good job keeping things somewhat fresh with the map system.

They have six weeks. That's a long time. In dog years that's almost a year.

LOL

Thread pointless, wait another week come on you're really that impatience

I agree, DarthSki44. It's an obvious time to create some more attention towards Path of Exile.

We havn't heard much and what we have heard has been very vague; Act 3x could mean (almost) anything. E.g. We enter The Sceptre of God and there we fight the big evil mastermind; The Razer Mamba. Obviously, his main ability would be to kill your excitement.



OT: It's extremely disrespectful to call threads pointless/whiny/bitchy when you are not even trying to contribute with your meaning about the topic. The only possible outcome of this kind of behaviour is that OP might not start a thread again.

Contribute to a topic about lack of informations?
In which way? Whining more about the lack of informations?

so far i like their policy
and i like being surprised

i have low expectation i estimate 4-5 new areas and a bossfight and thats it
if there is more great so i will be surprised which imho is a good thing

Its 2013. Indie devs are revealing greater amounts of whats in development, at deeper stages in its development. There is a good reason that they are doing this. There is zero negative to it.
What GGG is doing, is outdated thinking. It gets them nothing positive. It limits the amount of good feedback/hype it can generate. Its simply ignorant.

You don't get to where GGG is (at the near-top of the crawling dogpile that is indie development).

This is one of the most disgustingly ignorant fanboy things I have ever read in my life. It is not remotely accurate. PoE is barely a blip on the indie gaming radar.

You guys forget there are competitors on market, some of them releasing soon, as well.
There's point to keep silent, to prevent stealing ideas. Mind there's month and a half till official release, if not delayed.
I agree they will be plain stupid, if they don't start advertising two weeks before release, but I think they will.
IMO, as I said, the market situation is shutting their mouths off. Wait a bit.

You guys already know a large part of what's coming in release: the rest of Act 3.

Plus whatever else we can squeeze in.

Spoiler

Rocktober!

Lol, that was just plain mean.

These self-imposed teaser and information holding policies are ridiculous. What purpose are they serving?

I don't understand why everyone needs to know everything right now. Should GGG just give us uber items and end game characters so that we don't have to waste our time wondering what a great end game character feels like?

Some people like suspense. Releasing spoiler information early will not make the game any better. I'd rather see GGG make sure the fishing game is balanced properly than spend time on spoiler press releases.

Well... my mind simply don't grasp why people complains for the sake of complaining.

I'm telling you what act3x means:

-the true boss fight
-some new areas
-some new monsters
-some unknown stuff
-maybe some alternative to maps
-rogue exiles on regular leagues (details still unknown)

This of course will reflect first and foremost on maps: we will get act3x maps (almost certainly capped at level 77), plus the unique variants.
It will reflect on races (the most recent patch added a new boss guarding the ledge!)
We will probably get a new descent with act3x content and act3x boss.

The game is improving constantly, and will continue to improve after release.
In fact, we may say that PoE has a rolling release (wikipedia).
You call this a fail?

Everyday Chris is posting some news about the development. Development is hard and sometimes unrewarding (you have to hunt bugs and so on). Sometimes the news is huge, sometimes is not, as it should be.

You simply don't expect a "here is act5 that I will pop out of thin air", right? :)
