Let's talk about the future PoE 4.0.0 expansion...

New endgame content beyond Uber Elder. Guardians/Shaper/Elder remain T16, but there's new T17-T20 maps and a new eldritch monstrosity even more powerful/dangerous than the Elder to challenge. Rather than nerf player power across the board, have the new T17-T20 content make exiles quake in their boots. The T1-T16 atlas might need to be culled a little bit, but I wouldn't be too annoyed if the atlas went up to 180 or 190 maps total.

There'd be some new affixes exclusive to the new highest item level stuff (up to ilvl 90) but I'd like to see the new content be a lot more dangerous than current content even with whatever new gear and ascendancy points 9/10 or whatever other power we end up gaining. That way, as GGG continues to add things with further expansions we can grow into commonly defeating M'Nagalah (or whatever) like we did Shaper/Uber Elder.

Streaming map loads + larger areas, although with the current engine that would be impossible.

And yes, random layouts would still be a thing...it would just be a PITA to have to load all of it on the fly as a player zoomed across it at the speed of light.

Themed maps / Map campaign. Honestly, the fuck is the all these 'mysterious worlds' all having the same mobs and area designs from Wraeclast? How about some semi-modern (but still thematic) areas like castles, or enemies only found in maps because they're from a particular world? Campaigns in lines of maps, each tiered 1-10 or whatever covering a set of quests, cities, bosses, the whole shebang, topped off with a boss akin to Shaper/Elder with their own unique gear.

'It will compete with D4 and be the next generation of ARPG' per Chris.

In order to fulfill that its gonna have to be something epic more than adding 6 new acts or any league content.

What is the number one issue according to a quick review of the boards? Trade.
GGGs Exilecon will go the way of Blizzcon 2018 if there is no changes coming to trade. Do we need an AH no, but we need something better - much better.

As for 4.0 I thought an interesting idea would be for GGG to create POE2 inside of POE. How? All 10 current acts become optional end game content completed with Alva by going back in time. And 10 new acts are introduced with a completely new story, areas, tile sets, skills, mobs and bosses etc. I have a lot of other ideas that could work within this system such as moving forward mega expansions would basically be POE3, POE4 and so on....this would tie into Chris' statement that they 'want POE to be a game we play forever'.

IMO for this or whatever they do to be epic, compete with D4, and be a next gen ARPG GGG must use a new engine. We know new character models are coming lets pray to Kuduku that means a new engine.

Edited for grammar/clarification.

I honestly don't care. I have stopped thinking about this stuff because reasons.

I love when people enters a topic they don't care, only to post that they don't care about discussing whatever the topic is about...

10 new acts? maps have ever been just a placeholder which didn't even has to be removed.

new char models, they got announced for quite some time now.

a new concept to get all the previous leagues concept under one hood like league stones.

i expect them to charge for league content. main game would still be free to play so they wouldn't break promises but i think their mtx scheme isn't working out any longer, even with their chinese p2w xversion cross financing the international realm. just look at how few attention their mtx announcements get, players aren't interested in looking good and supporting the game is no honourable cause anymore thanks to ggg's changes to the supporting scheme.

Maybe we get PoE on our phones?

Ugh! PoE Immortal... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER! Also STUPID... STUPID... STUPID! But no worries as GGG would never be as dumb as Blizzard.

Only people who thinks Blizzard is stupid are the real stupid ones. Its not stupidity if they do something that will give them WAY more money. Its greed.

More power creep and new character models. Lots of cosmetics.

they set new milestones, they will do it again.

Aha ...

I am desperately hoping they address trade. Especially currency items. People get agitated at the hint of someone suggesting an auction house for anything, but with the amount of people playing and the outdated trading system in Path, most of my guildmates and friends who play this game agree now would be the time to do it.

Example: You wouldn't have to PM dozens upon dozens of sellers (most of whom won't respond) only to get a few of the currency items you need. Which then makes currency for some items a 'seller's market' which sucks. Buying in bulk at a 50%-x% markup fucking sucks... and it's only setup that way because the trading system is so bloated and unusable most times, it's for the convenience of not having to PM dozens upon dozens of people.
If we had just an AH for currency, most of these issues wouldn't be an issue and for regular items you'd still list normally like any other item. The AH could also be 'opt-in' meaning you can still list your currency like normal, but would have to contend with those who are able to sell their currency without the hassle of dozens of transactions (most of the time with people you can't even converse with because of language barriers, etc).

This league in particular, I had the most success when I ended up trading with BOTS instead of people. At that point, they are just mini-AHs anyways, and there's 0 player interaction. Not like there is anyways with "Copy/Paste", *trades item(s)*, "Tyvm", *leave party*.

At what point do we stop, look at this, and go: "something has to change".
