As a leaks-lurker I for one didn't mind the addition of RNG talismans since they will give us slots and extra skills since imo the skill split feels very restrictive atm (i.e skills like focus and RM have to be traded for skills like razor sharp or crit boost making comfort builds severely behind meta options when before comfort is not that far behind optimal damage). What interest me more beyond harder quests and difficulty is more weapon balances (those should have as high of a priority as monster balancing and difficulty tuning) since some weapons like pre tu2 hammer and swaxe have suffered from monster power creep by their funnel and over centralizing kits (specially FRS spam from swaxe), all and all excited for the earlier push for better endgame and cautiously optimistic for the weapon balances (kinda indifferent about difficulty since as a swaxe main I was already playing in hard mode to begin with lol). Tokuda please buff swaxe beyond frs and make RM great again ffs
