slow attacks, should do like way more dmg than fast attacks in this game. Feels good man.

These are the kind of strategies I don't mind blasting through the game because it's so cool to watch the mechanical skill being displayed to pull off cool shit like this with all the cool tools available in poe2. This games gonna be glorious

Attack while moving is going to put this at the top of my list for games. I love that type of gameplay. I am so excited for this to come out.

great vid and commentary

Awesome Ben recap of PoE 2. Man... it looks great, it sounds cool, play looks like mudflats...

This is awesome :) i'm old diablo fanboy but D4 makes me tired after 1 year, so i start playing poe1 and this is rally a masterpiece, ofc my necro is only 92lvl and i'm dying like a pussy sometimes but i love it, I wish that poe2 will be even greater so we can all spend there together a thousands of hours 😊 great vid m8 keep it up and see You in game soon 💪

The game looks stunning, has a lot of new interesting flavor and additions compared to the original. I am so much looking forward to playing this o full release. Sadly that will most likely not be until 2025, but waiting for a great game is more than worth it. Thanks for sharing the footage :)

Great video dude

Ben killed ubers in POE2 already. For sure

man was so hyped for the beta, but now we have to wait like 6 months longer =(

great story!

the world map ui looks sickk

comprehensive analysis from the best Poe player of all time

The only thing i can think about, while watching the video is: Imagine you do that with a melee build. I wonder, if there will be a sustainable solution in the future, to actually balance the gap between melee range

Been on the fence a bit watching the trailers, but this looks really sick. Much different than PoE 1 for sure. Can't wait to play.

I can't believe they added gameplay to poe2

I would like a DD build for poe2 launch - Your sincerely xdddd`r - Great vid !

1:17 Sort of a fair amount of back-and-forth mouse movement there. Makes me wonder if Mouse-movement should also incorporate Z-targeting. E.g. mouse on an enemy, hold a button to stay locked on to that enemy, and that frees your mouse up purely for movement. The trade-off being that Skills that include movement will be influenced by the locked-on enemy, and not your cursor.

game looks gorgeous

Huge intel

its ranger all over again

I imagine (and certainly hope) the seasons will be staggered between poe 1 and 2. This means I won't have a life when poe 2 comes out. I mean, I already don't, but I won't then too.

i feel like they are def going to tune down some of the mob damage. Your campaign is prob a bit too difficult if Ben is dying frequently. (a lot of content creators said they were dying repeatedly as well) Can't wait to see more endgame stuff, I'm dying to see what an even somewhat optimized build looks like. I've been kind of bored with the PoE2 updates, but everyone who has played it has said it's amazing so I'm optimistic. Does anyone know if this thing will even be out by 2026?

Game looks awesome.👌 Hope it's on PS5. When is the release date ???

Feels like if they're going down this route the enemy attack speed should be lowered so that they stay in place for a punish for much longer. Let them come, dodge out and punish or have a consistent way to root them in place. Great narration though. Very insightful and fair opinion of the game in its current state.

and in two years ill play it too

Nah they haven't but it has been mentioned like once or twice awhile back. Its interesting because it limits twink leveling unless there will be an astramentis equivalent.

@Ben, this is very important to me. Did you move just using the mouse as in poe1 or via WSAD? I'm one handed only so every game I have I only play on a mouse with multiple buttons (razer naga 2014 left handed). Because when I look at those gameplays from poe2 and how difficult the bosses seem, I get the feeling that this is soul'like gameplay. Unfortunately on the mouse I can't set the WSAD (I can because the buttons are programmable) to play comfortably; it's unfeasible. I'm asking you specifically because someone suggested to me that you played without using the WSAD. So... Is it possible to play poe2 pleasantly using only the mouse for movement (as in poe1)?

im not a pessimistic andy but combo skills and interactions looks extremely cool until it becomes old/repetitive and mandatory just my simple thoughts on things ive currently watched until maybe they have ULTS later on

I prefer smashing the fodder as well. This is only the early acts so I don't mind a little resistance there before we start scaling. I think eventually we will smash the fodder but continue to have to outplay bosses which would be my preference. Smashing bossess is equally satisfying as outplaying them, but since you already (presumably) smash the fodder, having to outplay them adds a little variety and spice to the gameplay. I have high hopes and I think the game looks very promising!!

Seems like it is going to be way more fun to play the first time around than the 100th or even the 10th.

@paragonnight437 That is one arena it is highly unlikely the game will be lacking. They have over a decade of content to pull from in poe 1. Don't be worried about depth and breath. Sure, it will not all be added in or all at once, but it will be larger than any other game release. I don't worry about that stuff personally. I'm a grinder tho and I'll sit on the same build for 2 to 3 months. So I worry I'm not the target audience even though I've been the target audience up to this point. Not fair of me, I know just how I feel.

sad thing that turns out they making poe 2 into isometric dark souls but with giga random loot and item scarcity 5 times worse than in ruthless and ofc game primary audience are console players and whole movement flow remade to be controller/wasd favorable, basically its no longer the game i was waiting for(modernized diablo2, not fockin LoD, diablo2), 100% i wasnt waiting for darksouls with insufferable randomization

It's more like Dark Souls in the isometric view than PoE. Let's hope they adjusted the difficulty to suit the professional players invited, otherwise, there will be a lot of frustration. LOL

Bad take Poe 1 is SUPER skill based, just not mechanical skill most of the gap between good players and bad ones are a result of experience and game knowledge. Good luck crafting mirror gear without knowing crafting theory for every single crafting league mechanic, same with being able to make a character tanky without knowing which boxes you need to tick to or doing Ubers without knowing their move sets

levels are not straight fockin tunnel, everything looks like diablo 2 omg i love it

You have active shield block. Check DMs video, it looks really good

Attack while moving is basically a necessity with how few tools your character has and how much faster everything else is than you are. Looks like packs are already tracking you before they're on screen. I'm really not sold on the boss philosophy. Not only the fight duration, but if the bosses are hitting Ben most of the time, then they're hitting me almost all the time. Obviously there will be a practice component and the launch product might be a bit toned down. I haven't played it, but the game looks more unfair than fun.

Dont care about archer/range builds. Where the hell is The tank? Sword n board fighter is my play style. plz impress me

It looks awesome and obviously plays too, but - is it just me or the movement speed seems way too slow, sluggish? Imagine getting killed at the end of a large zone... Is this because it's low level, no MS on boots, etc.?

Right now it looks like dark souls with arpg elements. Not PoE, no movement skills, no great clear, enemies are tanky for no reason

To be honest, I was a little disappointed after watching this POE2 video. The design, art, and graphics of the POE2 world are incomparable to those of POE1, but the skill design seems to need to be changed. And I think some of the skills are too much of the character's action when using the skill. I know it's still the alpha version and not the final game version, but I felt that way. Anyway, thank you for sharing the POE2 video.

The game looks very good, a bit too hard for the casuals though, I am not sure if they should not tune it down a bit. You were on 2% HP like 300 times during this video, can you imagine what a less skilled player will experience.
