I agree with Hawg alot. I'm so over it too. The new expansion for D4 feels like it has potential to actually make the game worth playing again the only problem is its more money to do so. Which is terrible, and it leaves a bad taste in mouth. POE 2 is free and also looking a lot better then anything out there, possibly ever, for a ARPG. Watching these videos from the most positive creater ever gets me so excited for the future of GGG. Thanks Tri.

This was a great podcast! I love how damn honest Hawg is, it's very refreshing. The others are fake enjoying a polished turd (while getting kickbacks from New Blizzard), and making a big deal of something that was awfully broken with how the loot system was since closed beta, and just before the expansion, they finally "fix" what should have been fixed on Day 1. Yet Druid and Sorc are still boring and broken, and need A LOT of attention. Go figure. PoE 1, even though Necropolis league is not liked by a lot of the PoE community, I believe 3.25, GGG is going to listen and deliver a helluva banger. PoE 2 cannot come out soon enough. 2025, hopefully we see the other 4 classes in PoE 2, and I think they're going to be amazing. I hope you, Hawg, Sylverxyz, and Dreamcore can team up for another podcast, and hopefully with Johnathan Rogers as well! :)

Like Hawg said Poe1 was the D3 I was w8ing as a kid and poe2 will be the true D4

One thing to add to the game: testing grounds. A parallel mode where we can create a new or import any character we've made and make infinite adjustments to it for testing the effects and feel for our chosen paths, then save the skill tree and gear as a guide while we play the actual game. Also included would be the ability to spawn entire groups of monsters/bosses/etc with customizable modifiers, levels, stats, etc so that we can test how our build would work at different points in the game. It would essentially be PoB, but live and testable within the restrictions and interactions programmed into the game as opposed to a third party setup. It would probably be best to gatekeep this mode to after the campaign was completed and further gatekeep various monsters/bosses/items/abilities to milestone completions throughout the endgame. It's a theorycrafter's wet dream

Here for HAWG!

At first, I thought poe2 could beat Diablo 4 with game completion, but not with recognition. However, recently, Diablo 4's expansion pack trailer has stayed in about 800,000 views, while poe's witch class trailers and console trailers have reached 1 million and 2 million in a row. I feel that the interest of new users is flowing into this community and is gradually growing. Therefore, I think the final result depends on how fun the game is. I hope ggg can appeal poe to new players.

Two of my favourite honest content creators ❤

If i had to bring minions into poe 2 i would want a class based around constructs. Like a subclass from the merc.

I think the beautiful thing about separating the games is that if say now, POE 2 is souls-like... Players can just play the new POE 1 league instead! I was also kinda upset but then it all made sense. Both POE 1 & 2 enjoyer's will benefit with this

At around 28:00 Hog had a great point--Console players really aren't part of the "main" community. I wonder if POE2 will be the game to break down that barrier.

The largest barrier to entry for PoE on console is PoB. Most build guides on KZread require PoB. Hawg's videos on PoE, without a build guide, showcase the need for builds. The only thing that would make PoE2 better, is PoB in the game.

Here's to hoping it's not a walking simulator in the end 🍻

Biggest draw for me is making (mostly) anything from any starting class. Definitely making a ranged mercenary/summoner on launch. Love that classes are just a framework and not a path you have to be dragged along to end game.

Let's go! 🔥

I play poe on pc and on ps5 but some on my friends only have a ps5 so I usually play the hard mode version of the game. So I usually play poe on the ps5. So I'm really really glad the devs are focusing on console too.

Let's gooo 20 k subs

I'm sure they want everyone to think that they may not have what it takes to make melee great... and then BOOM!!! Showcase duelist. To me, monk has reassured everyone that they got this. But the bleed demons have yet to be shown.

I have a theory and it might be more coming from hope then logic, I think there is no way someone at GGG would "let it slip" I also think they won't release the beta at the same time as POE league, with a league dropping late July and late November if they are sticking to 4 month leagues. In recent interviews Johnathan implied its coming together faster now they are closer to the end, I could easily see them surprising everyone with a September drop. Heres hoping, Very excited.

Never thought of D4 as a competitor, but Last Epoch is up there and im excited for both. Blizzard should make movies or shows cause thei Cinematics are way better then there gameplay.

Holy, I remember that Hawg clown from having the worst takes on the entirety of d4, then tried to catch the PoE hype wave, just to miserably drown.

"How do we know something negative about a game we've never played?" I don't think any of us can truly say anything bad about PoE 2 because we just don't know, but I'm sure there is something to say about credibility and the trust that's been built over the years, and whether that trust has been broken or not. Which I feel GGG and PoE have been better than others. The trust that has been built on over the last decade, where in that same decade, others have thrown away and continue to throw away things like several decades of building trust and brand loyalty for a quick dollar.

I wouldn't sweat it. D4 devs are likely going to triple down on the player experience being stun locked by a 2400 rated 3s team with 1 shot mechanics floating around that are the exact same color as the ground.

No, no, no.The Stagger bar is not what you think see in POE1. There was no way to freeze most of the bosses. They had to give them free immunity because the way that freeze worked in POE1. Made it kind of o p and broken if you could do it to bosses So the reason that they changed to using a stagger bar type system is because now you can actually do things like stun bosses and freeze bosses you just have to build up to it. So it's actually a really good system because it Actually gives us other ways to deal with bosses.That we really couldn't do Before add so much more playability to a build Instead of. Oh, you either need to tank all the damage or just have so much damage that you killed them before they can kill.You can Actually play it almost like a dark souls game. It looks so fun.

That's the thing that all the casual a r p g peeps need to understand Grinding gear games are gamers first and they make games like blizzard used to back when they gave a shit and didn't have corporate overlords. Some people might try to throw in a gotcha statement saying no, you're wrong.They're owned by tencent. And that's when l inform them that yes kinda, but that deal was only to let 10 cent make a version of Path of exile overseas for the Chinese Market. Trust me, that version has pay to win. But that was the main reason They wanted to inject money into grinding gear games.They knew how good PoE was and figured.Wow if we could get permission to make our version like a little bit more monetized we would make a fortune. But that has nothing to do with ours. GGG Is essentially regarding our version of the games a independent developer. So they report to themselves and no one else. Which is why the game is so good. Remember back when blizzard said the game will come out when it's done. Grinding gear games took that Approach. Since blizzard has long since Had that Mind set when developing games thanks to Activision Turning that company into bobby's world.
