0:24 - Trailer 4:42 - League Mechanics & Rewards 16:21 - Expedition Changes (linked to league) 23:26 - Atlas Changes & New Endgame Quests 26:09 - Atlas Tree Changes (notably can unlock every point in tree; some nodes are multi choice) 28:28 - Pinnacle Boss Unlock Changes 30:30 - Atlas Tree Ascendancies (which can be swapped on the fly) 32:43 - Overview of Old League Mechanic Reworks 34:09 - Delirium Rework 41:34 - Breach Rework 49:20 - Ritual Rework (looks particularly fun imo) 55:17 - Challenges 56:22 - New Ascendancy - Spiritwalker (this one will probably bait me into a boss minion build) 58:56 - New Ascendancy - Martial Artist 1:01:35 - New Uniques 1:08:09 - Campaign Zone Directional Hints 1:10:12 - Atlas QoL Features 1:10:32 - Build Guide System (efforts to try and make build guides easier to follow; will be fairly useless imo) 1:12:15 - In-Game Item Price Checking 1:12:41 - Supporter Packs 1:16:50 - Mystery Box (includes tracking scroll which records seasonal profit from trading - kinda sucks that this is locked behind a box?) 1:17:11 - Fragment Stash Tab 1:18:16 - 1.0 Release Plans (November/December 2026)
You guys Are completely crazy, the amount of new Content is out of this world wtf
Updates like this are the reason why I've been playing since 2013. You are all incredible. So excited, now!
Holy mother of content!
10+ years of playing poe and every release I watch I get goosebumps. GGG I truly love you guys, I’m glad my thousands of spent dollars went to you guys, you deserve everything for keeping this genre ALIVE!
Truly foundational update. Amazing work!
Locking in Martial artist ascendancy 1000%
RF looks fun! Righteous Feathers
This update is a foundation to the endgame. Complete and utter Win for GGG in my book, because the game needed this before more classes.
No swords or duelist, but HUUUUUUGE UPDATE WOW
Oh merciful and benevolent Lord, I asked for a simple meal and was gifted with a feast beyond the dreams of the most ambitious kings.
once again, we waited.... and my lord, THEY DELIVERED!
That build planner thoo W QoL. Thank you for this onboarding into the end game. This is great.
Insanely sick patch
How is it even possible to pump out this much in such a short time!? GGG keeps delivering
**Grabs popcorn for the Reddit meltdown over no new class**
While I am sad that there were no new class/weapon this update, I am insanely impressed with the amount of things you ARE delivering this update. Absolutely mental work, I cant wait to play it!
Thank you <3 This is beyond incredible
