To be honest I'm being generous. I expect mid to late 2026.

They have a ton of shyt they need to add. Something like 6 additional classes, 24 ascendancies, 3 new acts, what seems like 100s of abilities/supports, endgame tuning, like 8 new weapon classes, migrating MTX from PoE1 to Poe2, and not to mention balancing.

Thing about it is they're making money during the beta, so I don't see a reason for them to rush it.

GGG is one of my fav developers, so I might be biased, but even at it's current state its one of my fav Action RPGs of all time (top 3-5). There's currently plenty of content justifying the 30$ price tag. If you're a hardcore Action RPG fan I'd say get it now. If not, wait until one of the big updates later this year.

Any new to PoE people going to try the one month PoE1 event? You can earn a free set of armor mtx that can also be used in PoE2 by simply leveling. It's super-easy to reach level 80.

I only play SSF because the trading completely ruins the experience of drops and progression. So far I have a T7 monk and a warrior crushing cruel campaign. Literally nothing stops my warrior. Warcry hopping through maps and exploding everyone while dropping hammer of thegods on bosses. Warrior is fun as hell, though not nearly as fun (chaotic) as a attack speed stacking icestrike monk.

Icestrike monk with high attack speed can accidentally clear half a map if you can make sure to constantly chug mana potions. It also gets you killed since you are moving so fast from kill to kill that you might end up in a completely doomed location.

Same with blinkstrike. I dont know how many times i used it to cross uncrossable terrain only to leapfrog 8 screens away because "muhchanics."

Man I've been trying to go the unofficial SSF route, but the RNG in crafting/gambling is frustrating as shyt. I'll be getting some nice rolls then... 15% light radius(wtf is that even for?) or 3 life per kill. Wasted Exs. I'm about to hit the poe trade site in a minute. Got some nice gear up there for like 1 Regal. TF

You think it's better than POE1 in its current state? I can't cosign that...

I expect it to surpass the first game eventually, perhaps by launch. But it's not there yet. And I need to see a lot more from the endgame before I feel comfortable. I don't expect it to be at the level of POE1's endgame, which has been stacking pinnacle content and bosses for well over a decade. But I'm kind of surprised at how...eh the endgame is out the gate.
