It took them 2 years to make act 4 and 2 years to make acts 5 through 10?

What is defined as an act? Will there be a coherent story or will acts 6 trough 10 be a reskin of existing acts?


They've obviously been developing the acts in the background for years and keeping it on the down low.

Makes me wonder what else they are working on right now that we have no idea about and that we won't see for another two to three years.

GGG JUST BLEW MY MIND.

to me it seems what is happening is effectivly a saga.


1 - 5 is one complete story
6 - 10 is a second complete story revisiting areas from 1 - 5.


uhmmm not really true since at act 10 u get to kill the gods...
just repeating some acts that are close to the same as some old once.



? i dont understand it is very clear that we are revisiting them. 6 - 10 quite literally mirrors what you do 1-5

1 and 6 are karui 2 and 7 are vaal 3 and 8 are sarn again 4 and 9 look to be back to beast land and 5 and 10 are clearly in oriath.

but they are clearly distinct story arcs

1 - 5 is about surviving wreaclast defeating the beast and going back to wraeclast
6 - 10 is about going back to wreaclast kicking the shit out of some stuff before comming back and tbagging some gods in you guessed it oriath

This is why I'm back. This sort of brilliant asset recycling to create something absolutely new (not just Maps or side areas) is very much the product of the GGG I've known and loved for years.

As for a coherent story, expect that. The announcement page gives enough details in this regard. It makes a definite sense and none of this is really out of the blue. The presence of older 'Gods' in a largely monotheistic regime has always been a huge question mark. Did 'God' kill them? Were they always just fragments of 'God'? Was the Beast 'God'? If so, what happens when the beast dies?

What exactly did we really do at the end of act 4?

I am so fucking all over this.



the kiwi's are back o.o?
There was a legend that the return of the great Charan would bring in a new golden era for PoE!

now it has come to pass!
I dont see any any key!
Where is the game changing ARPG innovation? Surely not the pantheon system right?

I have to assume the game changing thing has not been announced, or the Pantheon thing is much more complex than another incrementally powerful passive buff system.

That said, hey I am absolutely behind this. Put some of the RP back in ARPG!

No mention of what a new endgame mechanic would be, if it's simply re-balanced Atlas, Atziri, Lab, or if its gonna be a whole new bad-ass thing. That system is what I assume will be the "game changer", not simply a ton of new story content.

How to handle the "repetition" of the same content over difficulties I assume. (ie. we are going back to the same zones again in 6-10, but they have changed as a result of what we did the first time through)
U MAD?
So getting back to act 6, it covers the old act one and 2

Even though it's recycled the changes are subtle but refreshing
