Did the PoE 4.0 announcement meet your expectation?

How do you feel about PoE 2 so far, comparing it to past mega-expansions?
Did it meet or succeed your expectations, did it surprise you?
Do you think PoE 2 will continue to dominate the ARPG market?

Honestly I feel like they overhyped 4.0 I'm excited but I'm more excited for 3.9. I think that's because my hype got deflated when I realized 4.0 isn't as big of a deal as they made it out to be.

What? They revealed they're reworking the entire game, adding a new campaign, all new graphics, and putting a bunch of stuff in place to make it so they can do crazier shit. Just the 19 new ascendancies to pick from is enough to make it a crazy expansion. And I'm sure they didn't reveal every bit of what's going on.

Did you even see the announcements? It's like an entire games worth of content coming in one update.

The upgrades to the engine look fantastic and I'm happy to see them shifting focus into enemy design and other facets of the game instead of an overblown league gimmick.

Because let's be honest, GGG could have just done an oversized league with more work put into it but instead they are doing work on a new campaign, skill functionality, boss encounters, etc. etc.

Yes I'm glad to see the behind the screen and excited for PoE 2 changes.

I think it did. I'm more excited for PoE 2 then Diablo 4. GGG knows what they are doing and I think the visuals/sounds etc was a big step up.

Think people have gotten spoiled though. And they want like everything they have dreamed of announced.

i love it, it fixes everything that ever bugged me and all i care about is the end game and character customization, the graphics are amazing better than d4, the character models are fixed the gem changes i love it, the end game might be a whole different thing by the time 4.0 launches, the engine improved... everything is better than what blizzard (a billion dollar company) presented.
what did you expect? i dont get it... for me it's amazing what they did.

Attach an extra head, a third leg, and a second set of arms to Frankenstein's monster and you've still got Frankenstein's monster.

I had no expectations so..

but 3.9 is making me play poe again for sure regardless of the laughable attempt to make the endgame "hard".

4.0 too soon to talk, so I ignored pretty much everything.

are you people paid by blizzard or something? it is amazing absolutely amazing i have been having fun in this game since i started playing and all they showed me is everything i would ever have wanted improved without destroying what i love from it.
i am HAPPY and all i hope for is time to play it.

I'm not even thinking about PoE 2 right now, I'm so hyped for 3.9. I love when the end-game is shuffled or changed a little to mix it up, that's enough for me for a long time. PoE 2 is so far away right now, that I don't really care about it, but a new campaign is nice, also changing it up so that leveling is not always the same. And the engine improvements and such, I don't see anything to complain about. It's all free anyway, I would have been happy with A LOT less.
