How to make Last Epoch better than Path of Exile

[murek]

Since Diablo 2 I played everything there is in the genre (you name it: PoE, Torchilights, Grim Dawn, Van Helsings etc) and I love Last Epoch. But how can it beat current king of the hill (namely: Path of Exile)? What makes Path of Exile great? It is surely its content (there is so much to do there: blight, delve, heist and so on). So despite of what I read here and on Steam, here is my suggestion:

Don’t focus on character personalization or [many times requested on Steam] achievements and other, low value efforts (those things dont make arpg good or bad - they are just there; ie. no matter how many character customization options would be put in Diablo IV they wouldn’t make it any better)

What is important in such a game, LE already has (great combat, progression, items and skills). What it desperately needs is more content, more things to do, more bosses, dungeons, challenges. In PoE you can make whole build focused on one certain activity and it’s entertaining.

That’s all I’m suggesting. Developers clearly know what they are doing. All I hope for is that they wont lose focus on whats important (things to actually do in game, content, challenges) and split their forces toward some low value efforts (achievements, personalizations).

1.1 is a end-game update, so it’s already coming. EHG clearly has a goal in what to do and what not.
Character adjustments like gender, new faces, extra gimmicks of whatever kind clearly aren’t the main focus and that’s good.

But nice to see someone agreeing that other factors are vastly more important then useless vanity stuff. Like… actual gameplay.

On the contrary PoE went the road of overcomplicating things and slamming far FAR too much content into the same singular repetition rather then branching out and allowing ‘choice on how to play’. I hope LE doesn’t make the same mistakes here, it would be a shame to get another PoE-clone which is sub-par in fields simply because the respective QoL and proper implementation of new content long-term is left in the dust.
