Question before buying

Controller support is pretty good at this point. Some of the abilities don't target "smart" enough in complex situations. We are currently going through every skill and every variant and making custom targeting system for controller so you can properly orb walk and use more complex setups with controller. Right now some select builds are possibly actually better on controller but most are better on keyboard and mouse. 1.2 will have the update next season in Q1 2025.

We do have seasons (previously known as cycles). 1.1 did last a lot longer than we initially intended.

Fixing build mistakes is very straight forward. We added some new ways to do it even easier in 1.1 and it's getting easier again in 1.2.

All the dlc and extra editions have is cosmetics. You can always upgrade for the price difference later if you want too.

One of our main strengths is build variety. As you get into the post-late-endgame, there are a few builds which do pull away from the pack. Every class has multiple options that it is possible to complete the pinnacle boss with. It sounds like you are an experienced ARPG player so you'll be able to experiment and get through to mid end game content without looking anything up if you want.

I'm just about as biased of an opinion as you can get, just to put it all in context. I'm one of the devs. Sooooo, I recommend starting now.

It's not really designed to hit 100 to "finish" a character. The power progression curve from leveling starts to fall off around 90 and the last 5 levels give so little that hitting 100 is more of an achievement hunt type thing.

1.2 launch window is between Jan1 and Mar31 so we've got a bit more than a month at minimum and a bit more than 4 months at max. We will have a more specific launch date as we get a little closer.
