Path of Exile

With 3.27 coming up, the Path of Exile community has gone full speculation mode again. Reddit is full of “bingo boards” packed with the stuff players want to see in the next update. Some are jokes, some are lighthearted predictions, but most are genuine observations about things the game really needs.

The bingo thing caught on because it's funny and kind of true at the same time. PoE has so many systems that everyone has their own wishlist. When you see hundreds of players filling out the same squares, you know what the big pain points are.

People Want Melee Classes

Melee is the most discussed topic. A lot of players believe melee builds have been weak for too long. The majority of the endgame is dominated by ranged and caster setups, whereas melee frequently feels underpowered. A reason to get up close once more, improved damage scaling, and smoother animations are what fans are hoping for. 3.27 may be the patch that finally brings about a proper melee rework, which has been on wish lists for years.

Quality of Life fixes are Always on the List

Another thing people keep asking for is simple quality-of-life improvements. Stash management, item pricing, async trading, or anything that cuts down on the endless clicking. Some requests are small, like making sulfite tradeable or letting players identify items straight from the stash. None of it changes the core game, but it saves a lot of time and frustration.

When you've played for years, you start noticing how much effort goes into basic stuff. That's why small fixes often get more love than big, flashy features.

New Content and New PoE Items

Players also want new challenges, new builds, and content. More unique PoE 2 items, more bosses, and maybe a league that enhances crafting or old content like Bestiary or Ritual. People don't just want stronger gear; they want fresh content to explore, even if it's just a small addition.

Some of the bingo squares focus on small tuning changes, like adjusting aura balance, new skill gems, or toning down flask dependency. Those things might not sound exciting, but they all make the game flow better in the long run.

Closing thoughts

The bingo boards' accuracy makes them amusing. They're memes, sure, but they show how deeply players understand the game. The community isn't just throwing random ideas around; players have spent thousands of hours testing, theorycrafting, and figuring out what actually works and what doesn't.

It's also a reminder that PoE's strength has always been its community. Even when people are joking, they're still giving feedback. Every patch, GGG ends up adding at least a few things that players have been asking for forever.

Now everyone's waiting for the 3.27 reveal to see which wishes make it in. Some of them might finally happen; others might stay on the bingo cards for another year. Either way, it's a good sign that people still care enough to argue about it. The day Path of Exile players stop complaining is probably the day the game dies.
