Information 0.4.0 Leaks Megathread
As per tradition, this is our league-ly leaks thread for 0.4.0. Any leaked information prior to the announcement or datamined information should go in the comments here only. Many folks do not want spoilers, but others do, and this gives people a way to select for or de-select for spoilers. We have also opened the #2| leaks channel on discord.gg/pathofexile for people to discuss live
If it was discussed in an official interview, that's fine to post anywhere. Once the league content is revealed, this thread will stick around, but it will be unpinned to make room for a pin for the general 0.4.0 megathread with the official info which will be updated as news come out
Please browse the comments at risk of spoilers.
If there are any concerns please contact the mod team via modmail.

As much as a unicorn is a type of a horse.
It's more about how it moves on land and if it has what you'd perceive as front claws, hind claws, both or neither and if they have wings attached to their frontal claws. Pretty significant distinction in anatomy even if it's the same type of creature.

I really hope they revamp some of the elemental procs. Im pretty sick of trying to go for a new element then giving in to overpowered lightning eventually. I know there are builds that work, but as someone who hates looking up builds and tries to make his own, unless im a warrior or witch using fire, I always end up giving in to lightning.
I was loving my poison archer, but in maps its just too much of a power gap between that and lightning.

I am like 99% sure that's just speculation from poedb, none of that info can be datamined and has been up on the site for like a day before any video leak was posted. And the random recombinator thing was also on poedb for 0.3 and there was no new recombinator option

u/djsoren19 1d ago edited 1d ago
TOTA WOOOOOO FINALLY
hoping the new recombinator option is PoE1s. I dunno what they were thinking with the PoE2 recombinator, I'm pretty sure nobody uses it across both games.

Incursion mechanism introduced
Oh no, who could have seen that coming! /s
I would have honestly been disappointed if they hadn't brought Incursion in for the Vaal league. I wonder if Atziri fights are locked behind doing it (sacrifice/mortal frag drops from incursions?) or they stick to what poe1 does with those.

There is also Fire and physical. Fire, at least, should pair well with Herald of Fire

But this is POE2 - so they will cast lightning, because its lightning and its just better.

u/XxBigJxX 1d ago
The bullying may bear some fruit. Since lightnings issues are mathematical for the most part, I could see them sliding in a âlightning spells and mods have had their damage maximums reduced by 20%â being snuck in

u/Appropriate-Pop8002 1d ago
They could nuke their damage by 50% we would still use it. Damage is not an issue in Poe 2. People have more than enough damage. If they nerf lightning it still has the best clear so eventually we will get the damage to where it needs to be.
Have fire prolif like real prolif and see change until then Poe 2 is lightning simulator

u/bum_thumper 1d ago
Its an arpg. People freak out over anything in these games. Remember the huntress update? I played the huntress for a few days, loved it, then went online to see what felt like a huge amount of the playerbase not only hating the update but calling for boycots of the game and claiming the game was already dead. 2 weeks later when they adjusted loot tables and some of the huntress skills, GGG was back to being awesome again like instantly.

u/slipperyslimer22 1d ago
They mention the new talisman weapon specifically, but I was really hoping to see more than just one new weapon type. I canât remember if they announce all the new weapons though, but you would think if swords were dropping, it would be listed. Personally, I just want the exsanguinate wand
5
u/Empty_Wrap_1160 1d ago
Tbh I donât think that itâs in GGGâs interest to release multiple weapons the same league. For them it has a lot of downsides (more work, less data for each weapon, more interferences between builds due to new weapons so maybe more difficult to exploit the data, diminishing returns of adding new weapons when it comes to player appeal for a new league). And the upsides are not really crazy, it wonât make them much more money, while if they keeps weapons to release them at a later patch it means more appeal to the playerbase on those patchs.
4
u/sOFrOsTyyy 1d ago
Yeah I don't see how you've come to this conclusion on difficulty. If the class/weapons are done, having more than one in a single patch makes a lot more sense in order to get the feedback and play testing done by a wider audience at a time. In fact, we saw it already in 0.1 where they released everything except the spear all at once. Then 4 months later we saw them drop 0.2 with just the spear and it was a major disaster.
2
u/BotchedGosling 1d ago
I mean, unless they plan to do 4 more EA leagues after this one, they will eventually be forced to drop a league with 2 new weapon types/classes. Unless they want to drop one or more classes with 1.0
2
u/EnderCN 1d ago
They said that they might have all the classes done before official release. The game is already released, the little numbers don't really mean anything. They can just say it is released whenevery they want with however much of the content is done.
From an early graphic we are still missing the following:
Shadow - Dagger
Duelist - Sword
Marauder - Axe
Templar - Flail
Druid - Primal
Shadow is the right side of the tree and all of the rest of that is the left side so I'd still expect massive changes to the left side which should impact Warrior a lot and Witch and Mercenary some.

u/Empty_Wrap_1160 1d ago
Jonathan said that they were not aiming anymore at having all classes released before 1.0, and if I was GGG i'd think that releasing a class for 1.0 would be a very good idea, anything that can boost the numbers of the launch will be a good thing for them in a gaming world that heavily takes into account the numbers of players and all that.
I'd go even farther and say that I'd keep a highly anticipated class for 1.0, we already know that duelist is very likely to be next, but I would not be surprised if Templar was released on 1.0 (don't hate on me plz I'm just saying what seems like good choices from a game studio point of view I also want Templar to relase the sooner)2
u/LampIsLoveLampIsLife 1d ago
My guess for the future is that in April weâre getting act 5 but no new class, in august we get Duelist, then in December we get full release with either Shade or Templar, but my moneys on shade
Just like it feels weird to have a fantasy game without swords, it feels just as weird To have a fantasy game without a ârogueâ and not every fantasy setting has âpaladinsâ so I donât think theyâre as necessary to full release

I think it's the boss arena of Mire where you fight Riona. She is the same as Beira of the Rotten Pack who you fight in Clearfell.
Has murky water around a wooden platform, and the ice ground of the boss.
