@@mikeparradise9333 when asked about the endgame they habe repeatedly dodged the question. also they have said that whatever they would be doing is going to be "not just maps" whatever that means. given that they showed us the same half finished campaign for the 5 th time already I think this conspicuous absence is rather strange. In addition poe's endgame systems as they are will require some adjustments for poe 2 anyway. for example right now when you die the entire zone respawns. meaning theres either going to be only one portal or people are just going to reset the zone at the mapboss by dying to effectively get 6 times the milage out of their juice. Mounts are another thing to consider. I think it's fair to say that they want to sell some good ol 20$ horses so there's going to be some kind of large open zone where non ranged characters would actually use that thing. they have also yet to show any non basic currency crafting, any endgame map, endgame boss and few uniques. people loved D4 in its early chapters . critics' were raving about how great it was. and yes i know poe2 is likely going to be good.

Same. Games like Diablo and PoE1 just feel like fancy idle clickers. Brainless gameplay for dopamine gear drops. I just really hope this guy is wrong, that the gameplay will STAY how it is somewhat in the early game. Having some of that power fantasy of blasting lots of mobs should definitely be part of it, through different stages or something (for example this part of the map you fight a bunch of peasants, next part you fight actual soldiers you cant blast through). I really can't understand how people enjoyed making characters in PoE1 that you could just AFK map clear with 1 button. Even PoE 1 I built my characters that played VERY close to how this gameplay is in PoE2 and it was great.

Omg that shield block mechanic is sick! I'm actually ok with this map reset idea like, if you can't get through this map you aren't ready for the next map.

It's great to see ARPGs finally evolving toward better combat. Instead of mindless spamming, we're getting methodical systems like blocking and parrying, or these reactive skills. Gear shouldn't be the only thing that dictates power, so it's great we're getting some skill based gameplay. No Rest for the Wicked and PoE 2 are looking worlds better than any ARPGs yet, really for the simple fact of having significantly more engaging combat.

I've been Helldiving so much I forgot about other games, it is weird to think about 2025 right now but it should be an amazing year for us. Grand Theft Auto and Path of Exile already looking amazing. Glad you had fun playing.

Something only a person playing video games for a living (content creators/streamers) and people whose only hobby is playing a video game would say. For all the rest it's the opposite. I like me some depth in games, especially in ARPGs but the first PoE is not a game for an average player, as it requires way too much time investment to start enjoying the game as it should, but apparently there's a big focus on streamlining the learning experience and better explanation in PoE 2, so a lot of people will still give it a try, including myself. Tried with PoE multiple times and it's way too much.

right, because the best thing about dark souls is facing 20 mobs at the same time... but hey, people will understand once they try it. because something works on one game style, doesnt mean it works on everything. for years PoE has trained its players to rush things, not kill, but down right genocide entire maps in seconds, and in some cases, it even punished the player for not being fast enough, like the case of delirium and similar dense mob spawning. adding things that are the antithesis to that... everyone is loving it, im really curious a couple months after release, when they are trudging slowly and having to stop for 10+ seconds for each enemy, and getting whites only, maybe a blue after a 2 minutes duel against an elite... makes you wonder how much love and praise will be then.

normal mobs should give potion charges. Would fix the issue of potions not refilling of course during combat.

is there controller support?

thank you so much for sharing!

If you like that feeling of accomplishment I still say you try Hades. You don’t get far at the start but you start getting farther and farther as you get stronger and it feels great. And the way both character and story progression work in that game keep it feel fresh for enough hours to justify its purchase

I see that soulsbourne fighting style is making its way into aRPG which is super nice :!

The gems and skills are limited for each class? or you can use them in the 3 of them if you want? Looks like will be so limited by the lag and ping.

What I like about mounts in modern video games is that they're always a nice wallet-check, with RL currency. They're just cosmetic though! So apparently it's no problem. ;D

I just hopethings are intuitive enough that I don't need to spend more time on a different website making my build than I do in game, actually playing it. Especially because I want to play on console from my comfy couch with a drink and my feet on an ottoman, like an animal.

This game is for a hard core audience, so you'll have to deal with it.

@Kpaxlol spending hours on a build planner is not hard-core (especially if you use someone else) nor is requiring another website just to trade. You can design a game to be complex without forcing players to use third-party tools. Also, I will not have to deal with it. Me and anyone else who prefers actually playing games to planning how to play games will go someplace else. POE is not so great that I would regret not playing. I can get my loot collecting, have a build delete the entire screen fix pretty easily these days.

@@lebanc571 A much expected reply to defend yourself. Yes they can make Path of building an in-game tool. But tbh that's probably a mix between them starting poor in the beginning and them not wanting to completely ruin any immersion and make the game mostly an equation that has to be solved and most players will be turned off by that IMO. Then again , if you don't wanna use the third party tools , you don't have to. May you give an example of a 100% required tool that you have to use? The trading site is their own. I believe they may do an integration that's like built-in the game and looks like the trading site in the future, just hard and technical to do most likely and not their original intentions. If you are talking about Path of building, then you are not 100% obliged to use it. You are just a hardcore player and not casual in case you feel the need to use it.

looks like that warrior is swimming in molasses. they took glacial strike and said, "make it slower"

​@@mmmyummymmm in poe1, most new templars replace glacial strike ASAP. imagine having to use it thru the end of act2, or even longer, cause early acts be slow

this is exctly the kind of combat i love, i'm very excited to see the possibilities!

I am thinking about trying a Paladin build that would tank with magical shields but also deal damage with magic. Like a caster tank.

I hope PoE 2 allows respec with ease. I hope they take a look at Last Epoch and take note of this.

the wasd movement has me sold.

Wow. A sword and board class where the board actually works? What a concept!

It looks so good, i cant wait!

First!

I'm not sure Path of Exile players will like it. There are 2 types of players in PoE: 1) The thinker: They spend most of their time trying to figure out how their build can face tank any mechanic of the boss instead of trying to actually play good and dodge mechanics. 2) The sheep: The people that follow other people's build, and then like to show how good they are at not doing any mechanic and how strong they are for following someone else's build. If Path of Exile 2 require people to do the actual mechanics, they are aiming at a new audience. Which may be a good thing after all...

I have done both but what I like doing is following a build but pushing it further than the guide and theorycrafting for endgame upgrades

My guess is we will be able to blast through normal mobs for the most part and in end game bosses is where the more methodical souls like I frame roll dodge kinda thing is gonna come into play a lot more which I like a lot.

the stagger mechanic reminds me of sekiro alot with the posture bar i think the high cast time abilities sound like a good idea and is a kind of like a new spin on the execution mechanic in souls games because it would reward staggering your enemy instead of just doing the same combo you used the entire fight just risk free

I love POE but here is an unpopular opinion: If D4 did the " if you die you respawn at checkpoint or town and everything resets the outrage would have been immense. yet when others do it its somehow ok.

That‘s what annoys me with PoE fanbase. Mark tells their players to „deal with it“ and it’s somehow so „omg slayyyy you go king“. Imagine Blizzard saying that.
