Kingsmarch Mechanics coming to PoE2?
With the success of Settlers in PoE1 and it going core this league. Also considering they have all the assets already, what odds do we think they'll add it into PoE2 endgame when they add Act 4 into the game? Shipping is a good mechanic to supplement players with bad luck while mapping. IE relatively straightforward and new player friendly. It also is very different than all the leagues currently in the game.

I think they said in the reveal for settlers that they were testing stuff out for poe 2. I assume something similar eventually but who knows maybe they decided it wasn't right for the game. I personally don't love it
Hopefully cause PoE2's end game is non existent. I have 1000 hours in POE2 and tried POE1 for the first time and the end game in POE1 is 10000x better.
Personally I wouldn’t like it
Dunno. Kingsmarch is already confirmed to be the hub of act 4, and i don't know if they would use a hub area as the center of a league mechanic. Imo it would be cool, but aside from Heist we haven't really seen that happen. It's always been separate instances.
Nahhhh Kingsmarch was fun and unique for a league mechanic but it doesn’t belong in the core gameplay loop in the same way original harvest plotting doesn’t belong.
There's pre release footage of kingsmarch being the hub for act 4 aswell as one of the zones being filled with goblins. I'm at work so I can't really link it right now but there's a video on YouTube of Krip playing an early build of it
I'd be pretty surprised if the systems don't come to POE2 in some form considering act 4 involves Kingsmarch and the game definitely needs more gold sinks beyond gambling.
Doesn't make sense narratively. We already have the recombinator as a commonplace mechanism across all towns. Only the shipping related content is left, which could be ok but also like kingsmarch is an established city for the last 20 years I doubt theyd want some rando to tell them what to trade with whom.
Knowing barely anything about this as a poe2 player I can't wait. Love making my own base that's why a hideout was so sick in this game.
I always wanted Diablo 4 to have a hideout mechanic like Pokemon where you can find secret bases across sanctuary. Poe2 scratched that itch and now I want more
