Can we get some communication on 1.0 before November?

Game Feedback

0.5 looks like a banger league with enough content to keep people satisfied until 1.0. They killed it with the endgame rework. But the lack of clarity on 1.0 is concerning. GGG has stated before, unofficially, that they would be open to releasing 1.0 without all 12 classes. This directly contradicts their marketing, which states:

Key Features

Twelve Character Classes
Path of Exile 2 features twelve character classes, two for every combination of Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence. While each of the class variants focuses on a different playstyle, they're just a starting point. You can combine skills from many classes together to create your ideal character build. Each of the twelve character classes has its own three Ascendancy specialisations, resulting in a total of 36 Ascendancy Classes to pick between.

PoE 2's marketing advertises that it will have all twelve classes, all with three ascendancies. When 0.5 launches, four of the twelve classes will still not be implemented or tested and two of the existing classes will still be missing their third ascendancies. If GGG does not plan to launch with all twelve classes on launch, that is OK but it needs to be communicated. Many will be disappointed such as myself, but advertising one thing and launching without that content is misleading at bed.

Other concerns is the state of the third ascendancy trial, which was supposedly near completed in 0.3, but is now missing as of 0.5. GGG stated that 1.0 will drop sometime between Exilecon and the end of the year, likely in the first two weeks of December. We need more information before Exilecon on what to expect for 1.0, not neccasarily specifics, but what their goals are and what they're planning on releasing.
