  • In this video, we take a trip to Los Angeles where I was able to play an unreleased version of Path of Exile 2! In truth, the game is HARD and I'll talk about whether that's a good thing, as well as my thoughts and impressions in this video with some supporting gameplay.
    Enjoy!

      I do indeed enjoy PoE, and i'm very envious xD
      Really really liked what i've seen here! Tuning the early optional bosses is probably pretty tough, since not every class has synergizing abilities early on. But i'd rather go up against challenging, potentially lethal bosses than... named trashmobs

    • @darkwatershadow
      @darkwatershadow 2 месяца назад +1

      Nope. Tried the first game and kinda hated it? Loot drops suck, gear system is convoluted, too many currencies in it's economy, I could go on and on. I hear that eventually you can kinda craft gear or something but the game doesn't teach you anything and everything is so convoluted you need to read/watch guides to try and understand it.
      If you can get past that then the skill tree stuff is probably pretty fun (though I hear melee specs are horrible so there might be balance issues) I just didn't have the patience to get there. I'm curious about PoE2 but if it's got a similar loot/gear system I'll probably not bother. There are plenty of other games to play. I like this genre but the first game left a really bad impression.

      Got around 12,000 hours in PoE, through the ups and downs. It's in a good place at the moment and feels fresher than ever, but I really can't wait to swap to PoE 2.

    Looks awesome, I can’t wait to give it a try! The warrior’s attacks seems like they each have their own impact and feedback to the player.
    It’s great that they invited you and well deserved even if it isn’t your usual environment. I hope you will do a couple of videos about poe2, curious to see how it would go even if I have no doubt it’ll be as entertaining as usual.

    • @MrAtomicDuck

      The Warrior did have some real weight to it. Takes a good player to manage incoming damage though!

  • @asdfjoe123

    Another option for the Knights: Engage the chaff around them and let your chaining damage take them out with accumulated chip damage.

    • @MrAtomicDuck
      @MrAtomicDuck  2 месяца назад

      For sure! I THINK even my lightning chains spawned the reflected attack though. Been a while, so I could be mistaken.

    • @asdfjoe123
      @asdfjoe123 2 месяца назад

      Blocking is directional. I think* the reflection is linked to the blocking mechanism. I could be wrong though and it's just triggered on taking damage. We'll all find out when the game is open to everyone.

      It was the same "web" network as from the first game, but I think it did a pretty good job of pushing you in a certain direction to start with, only really getting complicated later as you unlock more possibilities.

      We were asked not to show this just yet because it isn't 100% ready, but it's very similar in terms of it's construction. A "web" structure with your class choice pushing you towards certain areas of it.

    • @Takaoshi
      @Takaoshi 2 месяца назад

      It's going to be the same size but they have removed life etc from the tree, they have made some steps to make the tree easier to understand. If you hold shift on a node on the passive tree in poe 2, it will show you everything that changes stat wise on your character. They have done the same with comparing items as well.
