GGG what are your plans for Poe 1 in the near future?

Their plan SHOULD be to:
- Implement the new socket system that was promised.
- Update animations, character models and graphics, as promised.
- Add 19 new ascendancies, as promised.
- Add several new base weapons, as promised.

We were told we would get this in PoE 4.0. I'll hold them to that until 4.0 is here.

Man, I respect your optimism. POE1 isn't getting any of those things though. I would bet on that.

I think the best we can hope for is the scraps from engine improvements, league content from a fraction of the development team, and a TON of MTX.

I would go further and say that POE1 is dead the moment POE2 doesn't need it as a revenue stream. Maintaining two games with shared MTX and having to care about the old game while updating the new shiny thing will prove too much after a short period.

Again, I'm super cynical, but POE1 is quickly going on life support.

That's not optimism. It's just facts. That is what they SHOULD do. And I will judge them thereafter. Will they? Of course not. I will start counting the amount of mechanical and graphical IMPROVEMENTS (not additions) to the game from 3.22.

But you are of course right. PoE (1) hasn't received any substantial mechanical improvement in God knows how long. Why should they start now, when PoE 2 is entering its crunch year?

Remember the "updated acts"? that ended after Act 1 got its fresh coat of paint? Probably stopped after they knew about the split. No need to update more, as PoE 2 will be its own thing.

trust me ifi say this but a beta in poe means a lot it will show how it is for like 60/80% before changes that is

If they said any later, everyone at exilecon would have felt scammed plain and simple and it would have been visible to everyone there, especially with a lackluster POE 1 league. GGG have it as business culture as acceptable to lie to the audience now, which is a shame. Their reputation is no longer built on honesty and transparency but deceit.

Very dissapointed in their recent approach to game development. They were my favourite developers but not any more.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I cannot believe GGG has fallen this far from a studio by gamers for gamers to a studio for profits. All shall fall to chase $$$. Run their own names in the mud.

PoE is by far my favorite game. It would be nice if they actually talked to us about the future of poe 1...How did exilcon have more on poe mobile than poe 1??? They did this in the same breathe they tell you poe 1's future is now unknown.

I cannot believe how few people like Ruthless but they would be willing to bet their eggs on it....

POE 2 Needed to be seperate.. your in lala land if you thought POE 1 and its bloat of Items and balance could roll into POE2. They had high plans.. but realized they would fail if they didn't seperate the two.



I expect POE 1 to continue on for the next 2 years with Random leagues with Cosmetics like we have had in the past.

I expect POE 1 to Test more mechanics for POE 2 like we have been.


POE 1 will get decent support up till POE 2 launch as they need to keep a Incoming Cash flow from Cosmetics.

I agree, they did say those things. And I think they should do them because they said they would and led us on for years on that platform. But here we are.

I honestly was hoping to see the follow up to the Maven, since the Maven was just a child implying there are elders of some sort on the plot line. I have my doubts we'll see that now. The new gem system had me pretty psyched too but that's definitely not coming.

future of poe until poe 2 releases? my prediction: 4 month long leagues with the quality of crucible. enjoy bois

Its really sad... but honestly this is what i'm expecting and I think its simply wrong.

I will say Autochess league does look quite novel and fun to me I don't want to shit on it before i've played it, might be a really fun one on HC like sanctum but overall i'm expecting bare minimum leagues with big gaps.

iirc, the act 1 town update was done after exilcon 2019. at this point
ggg had just started to create everything that is needed to build all those biomes.
"simply" updating textures isnt going to work
and wouldnt even look better in some or most cases.

getting all those assets done for poe2 first
and then replacing old assets and adjusting them in relation.
its efficent and the path of development. :-


but in general .. exilecon 2023 was all about poe2 and stuff. :-
i hope aswell we get some information about the future for poe1 soon.
(engine, "remaster" and so on, idk)


atm, besides other minor and or major things, i hope "we" get some hideout improvements like assets or some qol at some point in time.
how about some walls ? ?_?

That's a long time and Betas aren't a full game.

After Exilecon many players are concerned or disappointed or even angry about the future of PoE 1.
So it would be a good move to tell us your plans for PoE 1.

I know that this plans could have a big impact on the players for the time until PoE 2 so do this carefully :-)
And I am sure you have thought about this already.

Excellent question, my plans greatly revolve around if PoE is going to stay so absurdly in favor of castors. Melee is a dumpsterfire when it comes to options, bossing, build cost, and clear speed. You can still hit lvl 75 with (2) +1 (to all X spells) lvl 5 wands and the crafting bench as a caster.

The disparity between casters and melee is like Rich dad/Poor dad.
