Im considering buying this game cause i wanna play more on pc and i rly liked diablo 3 on switch but i have a few questions.

How is controller support?

Does this game have seasons?

Can u undo mistakes in ur build? One thing that rly bugged me about poe is that u have to know early on exactly how to build ur character which means u dont get to make mostakes or experiment. Does the same apply here or can u respec?

What version to buy/dlc? Is base game version fine or should i buy deluxe or ultimate edition. Also if i buy base game are there any dlc that matter.

How is end game build variety? One thing i rly dislikes about torchlight 2 is how few end game builds there were. Its bas pistol rogue or engineer. Does the same apply here cause i like making multiple characters

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.

Nice sounds dope.

I saw that it takes a while to max a character Do u recommend starting now or when the new season starts/ when 1.2 launches cause i dont think i wil be able to max a character in 1 month

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.
