Are they seriously still sticking to gender locked classes?
It would be nice if they didn’t, but every class is a character with a semi-established personality and story, so it makes sense for them to be gender “locked”. The NPC characters also react to you differently based on who you play. It’s mainly a difference in character design.
Make them gender neutral, I honestly don’t care about their backstory anyway if I’m honest. I want to play “my” character. Imagine they’d be as restrictive in their possible builds because “duh, in their backstory they only used specific spells too”.
Would you volunteer to do all the extra work that would require, for free?
You think the PoE devs aren’t getting paid? lol
They are, but this is also clearly not within budget, not a sexist conspiracy.
Sexist? Why are you trying to make this a gender issue now? lol
Please stop the fanatic bitching. You’re not going to make any sort of criticism go away with this.You clearly made it a gender issue with your initial comment. I’m not the one bitching, I think the trailer looks amazing.
Are you confused? Where did I make it a gender issue by complaining that they still use gender locked classes? It’s an outdated and obsolete concept from decades ago that needlessly cuts down on character customization. I never once claimed this to be sexism related. Maybe work on your reading comprehension before you continue to cry around over your own made up bullshit.
It’s not “obsolete” for set characters, which is what this is if they have pre-established stories and personalities.

That’s not how budgets nor gamedev work. It’s not up to individual developers to just add huge amounts of content to a game that hasn’t been budgeted for.
I finally got PoE’d out a few leagues ago, after playing for 8 years or so. But after watching this trailer I think I miiiight have to get back into it again 😄. Looks awesome!
Yeah me too, and because the evolution of the game was just getting so fast and became killing as quickly as possible.
This slower more methodical version has me craving it. Plus SIX new classes?! Yes.
Definitely give Ruthless a go, I love it… reminds me of early game ARPG’s on higher difficulties. Positioning really matters, you have to adapt based on what you get. It seems to have been the proving ground for PoE2’s new tempo.
I’ve been following the updates so I knew this was the tempo that they have been dialing back to. Diablo 4 will keep my attention till POE2
Ok… I’m hyped. Do we have a release date?
Closed beta is for 07/2024.
