Endgame - What to expect?

Are you done with the campaign or nearing the end of it and curious about whats in store for the vast endgame they announced for early access release?

A huge... if not immense Atlas awaits you. However, you are only given the choice for very limited content. Right now you'll be having more fun trying new classes and builds while replaying the campaign acts. The Atlas is empty.

Synthesis League had a cooler small atlas (the Nexus) than this new expansive yet extremely dull Atlas.

Current lack of endgame:

- Any sort of proper progression. I have no challenges, no void stones, no grand goal (burning monolith is a joke, can't spawn a single citadel anyway) to work towards.

- Pinnacle Boss Fights (seeing swamp doedre 10 times in a row isn't what I hoped for)

- Points of interest and a goal to work toward. Cataclysmic completion and unlocking stone towers is way too weak as progression. The citadel guardians literally don't exist.

- Overlapping annoyances make the experience even more clunky (pushing & drowning bubble monsters for example)

- Good map designs that we can choose from. Right now its like this:
Good: Sandspit, Forge, Steppes and Savannah
Terrible: Everything else, especially Willow and Mire.

- Multiplayer motivation. Don't show us a cool revival function if we can't even use that in maps.

I really don't mind this game being more souls-like and the slow gameplay (I am at high attack speed on warrior and I feel good with the speed), but I am getting more frustrated about how unpolished the endgame is. They even said they invested most of their developing time into endgame for early access release. I just wonder where that hard development went to. Hopefully the pinnacle boss stuff, but we can't appreciate that if the chance to spawn one is below 0.1%.

Just stating the most frustrating things for me, there's countless other stuff that needs addressing ofcourse such as trial difficulty (just that one terokkar bird boss in ultimatum and traps in sanctum) and gems/passives/weapons/etc.

Potential 9/10 (maybe even 10/10)
Right now it's a 6/10 and maybe even 5/10

They also said that they switched from developing the last 3 acts to endgame just a few months prior to release. So thats probably why it feels the way it does for people. I'm sure they'll get it right in time.
