[Unofficial] Roadmap to 1.0 and Beyond

I’ve updated the following sections of this thread. I’ve included all the updates in this post so that you don’t have to go hunting around all of the sections to find the new stuff.

This update contains plenty of new details, mostly thanks to McFluffin, LizardIRL, and Terek for asking some great questions which EHG were happy to answer with new information. If you’ve already watched both of the videos posted above then not much else is new here.

Unfortunately I’m running out of space, apparently poor planning on my part :sweat_smile:, so I did have to shift two sections (Dodge-roll Mechanic and Passive Tree Mastery Bonuses) out of Classes, Skills, & Passives and into Miscellaneous. Future updates to this thread will likely be more sparse as I’ll only be including new information rather than almost everything that’s said about a topic. The Roadmap to 1.0 and Beyond section is unaffected by this as it still has plenty of space available.

If I’ve missed anything or you find any errors please let me know. Thank you!

New content with every single cycle. Love the ambition. :star_struck: :honeybee:

Excellent to hear, even though I already suspected this would be the case.

That is kinda the point with seasonal content, don’t let D2/3 teach you otherwise.

This is great, thank you.

Below are the latest updates for the sections of this thread I’m currently tracking. If you’ve already read my transcription of the September 29, 2023 Dev Stream then you can skip those quotes if you’d like.

Outside of the roadmap section, the majority of this information hasn’t been added to its relevant section of this thread due to limited space. Similarly, this update is spread across two posts as it exceeded 50,000 characters.

If I’ve missed anything or you find any errors please let me know. Thank you!

This is a big one for me I’d love to see. There were some runes I really wanted to try but found it irritating to try to get it consistently.

Actually, would you prefer people don’t comment on this to keep it clean? Just occurred to me. I’ll move it if you want, no worries at all.

Nah, I don’t mind at all. I’m actually surprised no one commented on the previous update, which arguably had a lot more new and interesting information. But yeah, I also found that discussion concerning possible updates to Runic Invocation to be intriguing. The reasoning is certainly sound.

What amuses me is that’s what GGG did with PoE. Started with smaller, easier-to-do leagues which became more complicated over time, then once a year they add bigger stuff. Not quite how I’d describe “doing our own thing”…

just wanna to play with my friends, with less bugs and mp stability, don’t care about new content for now…:slight_smile:

I hope in future EHG will invent something like to skip Campaign / Adventure mode. We don’t wanna another poe style, when you have to do it on every Cycle on every char ;/ My proposition is you still need pass Campaign on every Cycle but just once, on one char enough, it will be fair and good choice. Sry, but besides all bad in D4, Adventure mode is very nice.

You can do mono’s if you like as soon as you get to The End of Time. I agree tho, a separate leveling method would be appreciated.

You can already skip the campaign. Dungeons work as campaign skips. However, they’re still not balanced so you can do them with a very low level character. Also, you won’t get idols slots/passives. But Mike has said that they’re working on dungeon balance and that, in the future, we might get alternative ways to get the idols/passives.

Ye I know you can do that, after one char to move to Mono and drop keys. But the problem is exactly as you saying idols/passives, which are very important. Maybe just do idols/passives per account - ofc separately beetween Standard/Cycle and modes: SC/HC/Solo Found etc. I don’t say is the best idea, go to do this, but for me just that aspect of game can be rejecting for future playing.

Personally I like the campaign, even in PoE. I don’t mind doing it multiple times because I enjoy the leveling process. I still play D2 and all it has is the campaign.
I agree with having alternative leveling systems. I think EHG is thinking about them and we might eventually get them, though not for 1.0 and maybe not even for 1.1 or 1.2. We’ll have to wait and see.

Well done!
