I'm very concerned about the frequency of people being 'overwhelmed' by bloated old games in present day. I always see it as there being so much more room for blind exploration and finding new surprises and I need someone to explain to me how seeing a forest of interdependent systems is a turnoff. Just get in and roll with the punches!
[18:57] I feel fortunate here. I was elated at the news of PoE2 being a separate game from the instant I heard it in 2023. At soul level, I felt that that was precisely what the PoE lore and the PoE franchise needed - a follow up and a successor entry.
for the non specific weapon but specific damage for ascendancies, I'm not surprised because that already the case in PoE1 where for example the Saboteur is centred around mines (that's not really weapon but a spell) while Chieftain is all about fire and burning damage
I hope there exists builds which are heavily underperforming but have tons of room for skill expression, and that the community will learn to let these special builds keep their high risk low reward identity without repeatedly asking for buffs.
11:30 nobody said that "shapeshifting technically is a weapon", lol. it's just an another preset, or battle stance if you will. 2 for different weapon sets and 1 for the bear form. in PoE 1 we have blood stance and sand stance, and a bunch of paired bonuses on a passive tree, mainly for clearing in sand stance and bossing in blood stance. It seems like they evolved this idea and made this preset switching which is awesome
since they are going away from differentiating spells and attacks on the defense side a very solid ascendancy would be an archer that shoots spells instead of arrows. Think ice spears but scaling off bow damage and attack speed.
2 months left until POE2 2 days left until Frostpunk 2!! This game is INCREDIBLE, an absolute GOTY for me! Try it out, trust me. :)) It's the dark souls of survival/political city builders. 11bit and GGG Are quite similar in terms of development atmosphere and passion for their games.
I refuse to care what other people are saying about games these days because they will simply bitch about ANYTHING. The POE2 reveal was great, what it is, is we have a small but very vocal group of players who have a warped perception of what POE is, and what POE2 will be. I blame streamers, because they set an unrealistic standard for what the games look like in the long run.
@@tiagostein4057yeah I’m pissed every time the streamers complain to the devs about the game to being slow, I love slow arpgs, hell Diablo 2 can be slow as hell and is fun.
Regarding shapeshifting and ascendancy, I'm betting there are shapeshifting ascendancies, just like there are caster and melee ascendancies, just that you won't be restricted to just a werewolf ascendancy or just a werebear one. What that does for huntress/beastmaster and it's long unseen werecat, I don't know. It seems huntress is flavored around weapon swaps, so I could see werecat still locked behind that one, in which case it's still might flexible. Do you bear/cat? Wolf/cat? Bow/cat? Or just forego cat and go wolf/bear using the rest of the tree? It won't be as restrictive as just "rapier" which I think is the point
Unless we are going to get huge surprises for druid/nature minions, or the reintroduction of golems from PoE1, its going to be a spectre build for sure for me. So Witch probably.
I like the content in general but i’d personally prefer less time spent trying to hype up the content and just getting right into it. This video for example didn’t start until about 2:30
I wouldnt look at shapeshifting like as a type of weapon. its an archetype like lightning, poison, or mana. you can use any weapon with shapeshifting and also doesn't take up an equipment slot on your character unlike shapeshifting which is a skill gem.
11:32 I assume 'weapon' in the context of ascendancies refers to equipped items specifically. I believe the logic behind this is to avoid players feeling like they are 'trapped' using their current weapon in regards to potential upgrades and/or experimenting with the new weapon swapping mechanic.
I got an even better response in regards to category 2 players. Most of them aren't even overwhelmed because the game is complicated. They are part of the "always follow a guide culture" and the "minmax culture", and THAT's what overloads them. It's not the game that's flawed, it's the people. This ain't much different than any other ARPG, fkn hit something, level up, open your skill tree and just fkn put a point in. Get as far as you can and die 20 times, get mad, and start a new character. The only real learning curve is the skill gems, but once again, the game starts and shows you instantly how the fundamentals work, skill and support, put them in a piece of gear, bam, now keep doing that and fucking around with it. 75% of the fun of PoE is learning and playing around. People who can't do anything but follow guides in PoE are missing out on the majority of the fun of the game, how it was without a doubt intended to be played. You can get to maps(essentially beating the game, because maps are more just a test of skill), with only a few new characters and a bit of fkn around as a new player, with no guides and no wiki. Players get overwhelmed by the guides cause they aren't there to tell people what I just said, they're there to get views, so they go explaining a build or a bunch of unnecessary shi.
I’ve definitely witnessed people get too focused on their guide and use it as gospel and not subject to change. Friend “I’m having mana issues” Me “well you should be pathing near 30% mana cost as life instead” Friend “ but my guide doesn’t have me take that for another 5 levels” I do use my guide and cannot wait until I’m comfortable enough to make my own decent build
@@erkgrr5863 Build guides are fine, but AFTER you get to maps. If someone wants to use a build guide then it's totally normal since the game is tuned tight enough that it's unlikely most people really get much further through maps without one. But honestly for me, I don't even care, the game is so fun just figuring stuff out on my own and coming up with my own builds. And one thing that builds don't do, and this is huge, is tell you what exactly to do when leveling up, because there are a lot of possible drops that you get which aren't going to be exactly what you need for your build. That's where understanding the game yourself and making your own decisions comes in hardcore. And to me, that's where the game is the funnest. Improvising on a build you made for yourself or got from someone else, but you can't do that if you don't understand the game. And there's no better way to understand the game than to play, learn, and fail yourself with maybe a little bit of game guides(not build guide so much) and a good bit of wiki.
The problem with PoE is not complexity but how complicated it is. Take crafting as an example. In LE crafting system is more complex but is way less complicated so you don't need 3rd party tools to do it correctly. In PoE1, 90% of people have no idea even what to farm for crafting so they are just farming ChosOrbs to buy gear. I'm afraid that PoE2 will make the same mistake.
I never played POE before, but I'm really interested in POE2 visually speaking, so I'm a new player to the game. Just found your channel, really good info and energy. you got a new subscriber =)
Maybe your channel name should temporarily be renamed to Plaguebearer 🤔 Love this news! I remember asking Viperesque about rapiers too and was saddened to see they won't be included. Imagine what they could be like with the new melee systems in place!
At *least* one of the ascendancies is bound to be similar to the occultist, assuming PoE1 ascendancies (at least their names) wouldn't be making a comeback. There's 3 ascendancies, some of them have to be purely caster-centric.
I could imagine that the sorceress might be the more optimal choice for that, but we're still talking about PoE. Do whatever you want. There will be a way to make it work.
POE2 is supposed to be "use multiple skills for max damage" Limiting support gems will just result in "use one spammable skill with the best supports for max damage" just like it is in POE1 I will reserve full judgement until I get to play it, but general theorycrafting dictates the latter result.
@@kalebglenn5279 it does not at all dictate that lmao. Support gems make skills better at making multiple skills interactive, as well as rewarding combos. Trust me, that theory crafting is nonsense
@@kalebglenn5279 "Limiting support gems will just result in "use one spammable skill with the best supports for max damage" just like it is in POE1" I would say the opposite. In PoE1 you are using the same support gem like faster caster so limiting support gems should avoid such spam and you will have to think where to put specific support gem for the best outcome.
I'm apprehensive about the single support gem use tbh. Feels like a restriction/punishment on me because OTHER players don't push diverse builds. Still can't wait for release but i hope they don't hamstring players too much.
Nice video! I'm can't wait for POE2. I'm still learning a lot about POE. The big question with POE2 is will there be a auto performance option/test for graphics? I have a really decent PC 5800x3d cpu, 4070ti gpu, and 48gb ram and the game ran like garbage until I spent a few hours trying to optimize performance
For minion players, I feel like it’s a huge hit to us knowing that we can only use one of each support gem, with minion damage being used most commonly thought out the build. Hopefully the support gems they add really change the game……. Because being completely honest, the necro is NOT looking good in the damage department.
I wish they'd "gamify" the crafting system alot more, it can be fun and rewarding if you invest the time into learning the complexities of crafting end game gear in POE... but the way it works right now is nowhere near the most fun a crafting system can be.
Shapeshifting is a fighting style, not a weapon type. I can see them adding it. It's like an ascendancy focusing on two handed fighting, ranged, casting, or dual wielding. has nothing to do with your *weapon*. Your weapon is the form you choose. I'm more curious to see how this impacts unarmed, because I was really hoping for an unarmed ascendancy for the monk, but while that's a fighting style, there's only a singular weapon there, so I'd say unarmed ascendancy is confirmed as not happening :(
Amazing video my man! Loving the constant updates and insights! I was wondering about one especific build archtype (I haven't seen it or talked about anywhere) and it's traps and mines. I love them in PoE 1 and I clearly see ways to make the experience in playing them to feel better (changing the animations alone would go a long way) but seeing how in PoE 2 we have a lot of skills to use, how do you think traps and mines take their own place? Sorry for long post and cheers from brazil!
100% agree. when we first started geting poe2 info every announcement made me less and less interested in the game. now with some of the more recent announcements i am not only interested but am excited to dive in and craft some builds
same comment in all posts: i hope that ggg keeps the game a completly flexible pussle, what got me into poe was the all shared passive tree and skill system. meaning you could do a witch with a 2h mace, etc. even with the accendecy added they where still generic, and not catering towards specific skills. like projectiles exist on both melee weapons, ranged weapons and spells etc. also i hope the shown videos are not represantative of real game play, both in speed/dps and complextiy of different skills. like sure abit more then poe 1 can work but this is absurd
sorry late Tri, worked the weekend and got busy. after the D4 fiasco i did my one play through and dropped it . . . found POE in my steam acc. and hear i am. i might be your dads age maybe older, don't really know what i'm doing . . . BUT! having fun, and when i find something that works i get that little grin. i do basic crafting , but what all can i do? wouldn't call current crafting intimidating, i'm just in that stage of learning where i need to be taught / showed. - POE 2 will be a new beginning for me, i love the enthusiasm of the devs of this game . . . they make it and play it!
Storage is so cheap these days, so I just don't understand those who are so scared of a game using 100Gb. Many of my steam games are using more than that...
Question: does the 9 skill gem slots and non repeating skill gems count auras? No right? Because auras are reserved by a new resource spirit? So does that mean no aura support gems?
Either they'd go with having many ways to get skills from items (auras and other 1 link gems would benefit from this) Or you'd have a "meta" gem (support gems like CWDT that can be linked with skill gems) that has to do with auras Probably a combination of both
Trigger setups are not really gonna be a thing I guess. I mean, they will still kind of work, but CWDT & CWS are gimped if you can only have one support of each.
idk man I'm hyped for poe2 but afraid to get too excited for it as we still have no idea how to play the game on 15th Nov. Imagine getting all hyped up and can't play, it gonna suck
??? PoE2 showcase at Exilecon in 2023 was insanely hype for everyone, where did you invent this "disaster" scenario from It was the best news possible, nobody sane wanted PoE2 to be just yet another new campaign in the same old game
i was thinking about this support gem situation and i had an idea of a set of white support gems that are not as good as the regular ones but can be used in more than 1 skill and takes 1 or 2 points of all 3 stats to use just so that you can fill some support slots if there is nothing else that you want. Maybe make it so that the gems from this set don't synergize well with each other so you also don't just fill up a skill with them. Its kinda hard to imagine a scenario where you have 10 skills and have 60 support gems that you actually want... at least not in these first few years of development of poe2
I think they said that they want to launch early access with 9 suggested support gems for every skill. Of course many of them will repeat between different skills, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were 200 or more different support gems right from the start.
Even though I always main an archer or other ranged I think I gotta give GGG the benefit of the doubt and jump right into a melee class to test was is basically the entire reason they made the game. I'm looking forward to seeing the duelist but I also like spear class stuff so that's a possibility as well.
Hello! I'm a new player and I'm excited to start playing. I'm curious about the social aspect of the game, specifically how it will be with trading, auction house, and other player interactions. Can anyone share some insights on what to expect? Also, are classes gender locked, or will we have the option to fully customize our characters appearance? Thank you.
Each class will have 3 ascendancies, and necromancer/occultist were only 2 of the 3 that PoE1 witch had (since elementalist is now the sorceress' schtick), so even if literally necromancer and occultist came back there would be room for an entirely new ascendancy as well specifically for the occult side of things (hell, one of those could be shapeshifting related idk). There's bound to be non-minion related builds for the witch
@@SKKaelth yeah, but to me they felt kinda tacked on to necro and occ, so i think it would be cool to have an ascendency focused on corpses as a resource and selfdamaging blood/bone spells, especially bc the devs dont seem to want to ut desecrate in poe2
@@TalkativeTri hm, weird, i read on reddit there would everything, the full game, but i can't find confirmation about either anywhere so far. Gief Templar
I'm still confused about how to get into the early access, because I haven't seen a confirmation from the devs yet (unless I missed it). Is there any confirmation about if it will be free to all, or how much (or what level supporter pack) it will cost to play? I'm on Xbox Series X, so I'm hoping I can escape D4 and start playing PoE 2 finally....
No information about that has been made public yet. The only thing they have said is that it will be accessible to all, meaning it won't be an invite only type of deal. Jonathan has hinted that there will likely be similarities with how they have done early access in the past. This is where theories about gaining access through random free invites, 500 $ lifetime spending and 30 $ supporter packs come from.
Months ago Jonathan suggested that it would most likely be similar to previous betas for PoE1 (specifically Fall of Oriath), which would be the following; Giving out a certain number of codes in batches for free at random to people who register for it, paid supporter packs that give guaranteed access to the early access alongside the usual supporter pack items (no limit on total players who can buy it), and finally giving guaranteed free access to anyone who has bought one of the $480 supporter packs OR have spent a total of $500 or more over the lifetime of their account. This is completely subject to change. For now it's best to assume you will need to purchase a supporter pack to access the Early Access. The old PoE1 beta supporter packs costed like $30 and that should still be the case, but I would set my expectations around the $60 mark just so you don't get blindsided by it in a worst case scenario.
i tried poe twice before it hooked me, i was hooked when deli was new. and the skill that hooked me was flicker strike. my ps4 crashed so much lol then got a good pc
short thing about the poe discord. the thing is if you have critique and people dont agree with you and start a fight because of that thing moderators will mute you because you started defending yourself against 4-5 people this discord isnt even moderated by someone who is in any relation with ggg no, but ggg devs lurk around there and everyone who was excluded from this community due to mistake or something else cant do anyhing about it.
there's always a risk of getting permaed when you chat in discords. mods can be very weird. best to just use them for information unless youre very familiar with the server, especially if it's a discord of a game you love
@@liampitout5483 Chances are that anything they show of endgame will be much slower than what we will experience when we get there. That's because they don't want people unfamiliar with the game to be overwhelmed by what is happening in promotional material. But with the increased readability they strive for, there's a slim chance that might also not be necessary, allowing them to show actual blasting. We'll see. There's also no harm in just waiting for a few weeks longer (than November 15th) and seeing people play actual characters into endgame. Then, you can see for yourself whether the game is too slow for you.
Talkative tri Im wandering about something Since the game called path of exile Why don't we have a system which allow players to share their building in the game and have the skill tree auto assign for the similar parts and once reaching the maps the player should have complete the build as he like it according to his playstyle Since the game have really big date that can support an like the one i mentioned above and what is the application of my ieda to the game
Tri, you underestimated the amount of support gems. 9 6Ls on ONE weapon loadout. You have 4 more on weapon swaps. 13 6Ls. 65 support gems, then? Or can you reuse supports on weapon swaps?
Second weapon set do not have extra gem slots. Like, your character has 9 active gem slots and thats all. You can choose what of them will be using with the second weapon but nothing more. Gems are in separate menu, not in items. You can have no items at all and still have 9 six-linked active gems.
I don't think this is correct. They showed us the swapping mechanic at Exilecon last year, and that was not how it worked. I have not seen or heard anything to indicate this has changed. One exception may be that you get an extra slot if your swapped weapon has a different implicit skill, but we don't even know that yet.
@@TalkativeTri right, and it's a skill. Like flameblast. Or it's a reservation. Either way, it's not tied to a specific weapon. You might get ascendancies for individual shapes, but I see no reason to expect shapeshifting to be left off of ascendancies
@@TalkativeTri so what they mean is that you won't get ascendancies which say "swords do 50% more damage," but you will get ascendancies which are linked to skills and specific playstyles. To take your concern to the logical extreme, that would mean no minion based ascendancies, since they're tied to scepters. Or no berserker because they're tied to melee weapons.
I wonder how they will do trappers and miners, i've always made a couple of them every league and hope they get a nice treatment since they've always been a part of my leagues
(based on exilecon 2023, could be drastically different now) traps and mines are combined into a single trap item type you hold; any trap or mine skill is now combined into just being trap skills, and whether it's triggered manually or by proximity is determined by the base type you're holding.
@osetor7457 oh damn that's news to me. I hope there will be some original mine skills like icicle and not just slapons like hexblast miners, we're gonna have to see what magic they will perform
Jesus, watching the defiler fight makes me concerned. Watch the healthbar as the minions wail on the boss and nothing happens. One charged bone spike thing does more damage than like 20 seconds of minion damage.

I'm apprehensive about the single support gem use tbh. Feels like a restriction/punishment on me because OTHER players don't push diverse builds. Still can't wait for release but i hope they don't hamstring players too much.
Nice video! I'm can't wait for POE2. I'm still learning a lot about POE. The big question with POE2 is will there be a auto performance option/test for graphics? I have a really decent PC 5800x3d cpu, 4070ti gpu, and 48gb ram and the game ran like garbage until I spent a few hours trying to optimize performance
For minion players, I feel like it’s a huge hit to us knowing that we can only use one of each support gem, with minion damage being used most commonly thought out the build. Hopefully the support gems they add really change the game……. Because being completely honest, the necro is NOT looking good in the damage department.
Ah yes, it's a valid concern when it's based on your imaginary problem.
@@Mikolajevich Ah yes, obviously you didn’t watch the video. (2:29)
I wish they'd "gamify" the crafting system alot more, it can be fun and rewarding if you invest the time into learning the complexities of crafting end game gear in POE... but the way it works right now is nowhere near the most fun a crafting system can be.
How does righteous fire have a lot of interacting mechanics? You mean managing the self damaging aspect?
Thank you for mentioning the series mate!
I didn’t realise how much has changed and been discussed recently until this video :)
Also 25K Tri 🤌🏼🙏🏼💪🏼😊
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
Mercenary, Druid and Witch I'll definitely try out for sure
Shapeshifting is a fighting style, not a weapon type. I can see them adding it. It's like an ascendancy focusing on two handed fighting, ranged, casting, or dual wielding. has nothing to do with your *weapon*. Your weapon is the form you choose. I'm more curious to see how this impacts unarmed, because I was really hoping for an unarmed ascendancy for the monk, but while that's a fighting style, there's only a singular weapon there, so I'd say unarmed ascendancy is confirmed as not happening :(
I still see the witch running into danger first and minions mindlessly following just like in Diablo, I hope this will be changed!
Glad you're feeling better Tri.
Amazing video my man! Loving the constant updates and insights! I was wondering about one especific build archtype (I haven't seen it or talked about anywhere) and it's traps and mines. I love them in PoE 1 and I clearly see ways to make the experience in playing them to feel better (changing the animations alone would go a long way) but seeing how in PoE 2 we have a lot of skills to use, how do you think traps and mines take their own place? Sorry for long post and cheers from brazil!
100% agree. when we first started geting poe2 info every announcement made me less and less interested in the game. now with some of the more recent announcements i am not only interested but am excited to dive in and craft some builds
same comment in all posts: i hope that ggg keeps the game a completly flexible pussle, what got me into poe was the all shared passive tree and skill system. meaning you could do a witch with a 2h mace, etc. even with the accendecy added they where still generic, and not catering towards specific skills. like projectiles exist on both melee weapons, ranged weapons and spells etc. also i hope the shown videos are not represantative of real game play, both in speed/dps and complextiy of different skills. like sure abit more then poe 1 can work but this is absurd
sorry late Tri, worked the weekend and got busy. after the D4 fiasco i did my one play through and dropped it . . . found POE in my steam acc. and hear i am. i might be your dads age maybe older, don't really know what i'm doing . . . BUT! having fun, and when i find something that works i get that little grin. i do basic crafting , but what all can i do? wouldn't call current crafting intimidating, i'm just in that stage of learning where i need to be taught / showed. - POE 2 will be a new beginning for me, i love the enthusiasm of the devs of this game . . . they make it and play it!
Storage is so cheap these days, so I just don't understand those who are so scared of a game using 100Gb. Many of my steam games are using more than that...
Do we know if Aura skills are still going to be a thing? Im just starting to look into this game so I know very little.
Any info on how the controllers layout will work? I want to try using a controller to make easier WASD movement.
Is it confirmed that weapon implicit skills will be socketable?
Question: does the 9 skill gem slots and non repeating skill gems count auras? No right? Because auras are reserved by a new resource spirit? So does that mean no aura support gems?
Either they'd go with having many ways to get skills from items (auras and other 1 link gems would benefit from this)
Or you'd have a "meta" gem (support gems like CWDT that can be linked with skill gems) that has to do with auras
Probably a combination of both
some of wands have curses, it seems for exemple that Enfeeble is a wand exclusive skill now.
Trigger setups are not really gonna be a thing I guess. I mean, they will still kind of work, but CWDT & CWS are gimped if you can only have one support of each.
idk man I'm hyped for poe2 but afraid to get too excited for it as we still have no idea how to play the game on 15th Nov. Imagine getting all hyped up and can't play, it gonna suck
Damn so much people will try to play this im sure the servers will die in the first day. 🤣

PoE2 showcase at Exilecon in 2023 was insanely hype for everyone, where did you invent this "disaster" scenario from
It was the best news possible, nobody sane wanted PoE2 to be just yet another new campaign in the same old game
I was being hyperbolic, but people were definitely floored and shocked at the separation (mostly existing PoE1 players).
@@TalkativeTri Positively shocked, you called it a disaster. People loved it and the audience was CHEERING.
Where did you get that from that the 2023 Exilecon reveal of POE2 was a disaster? :D
My language is definitely hyperbolic.
i was thinking about this support gem situation and i had an idea of a set of white support gems that are not as good as the regular ones but can be used in more than 1 skill and takes 1 or 2 points of all 3 stats to use just so that you can fill some support slots if there is nothing else that you want.
Maybe make it so that the gems from this set don't synergize well with each other so you also don't just fill up a skill with them.
Its kinda hard to imagine a scenario where you have 10 skills and have 60 support gems that you actually want... at least not in these first few years of development of poe2
I think they said that they want to launch early access with 9 suggested support gems for every skill. Of course many of them will repeat between different skills, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were 200 or more different support gems right from the start.
Even though I always main an archer or other ranged I think I gotta give GGG the benefit of the doubt and jump right into a melee class to test was is basically the entire reason they made the game. I'm looking forward to seeing the duelist but I also like spear class stuff so that's a possibility as well.
Just goes to show how the modern gamer needs to be baby sat. the future looks bleak for RL.
Just liking and commenting. Not sure what class I'll be playing. Never got into POE1, but excited to try POE2.

You need to be in shape for the next gauntlet starting on september 26 :)
Hello! I'm a new player and I'm excited to start playing. I'm curious about the social aspect of the game, specifically how it will be with trading, auction house, and other player interactions. Can anyone share some insights on what to expect? Also, are classes gender locked, or will we have the option to fully customize our characters appearance? Thank you.
Ranger for life.
Hey Tri , hope you get better. Do you have info about melee of poe2? is it good. it seems a bit clunky now in the gameplay
It's fantastic
I've only seen witch footage with minions so far. I hope it isn't a necessity to have minions as a witch.
It’s not, they just showcase the main focus of the classes so far.
Each class will have 3 ascendancies, and necromancer/occultist were only 2 of the 3 that PoE1 witch had (since elementalist is now the sorceress' schtick), so even if literally necromancer and occultist came back there would be room for an entirely new ascendancy as well specifically for the occult side of things (hell, one of those could be shapeshifting related idk). There's bound to be non-minion related builds for the witch
@@osetor7457 if I had to guess there will be a minion ascendency, a chaos/curse ascendency, and a blood/bone/corpse magic ascendency
@@warcheddar4163I think blood and corpses kind of borrow both her occ and necro arsenal, tho.
@@SKKaelth yeah, but to me they felt kinda tacked on to necro and occ, so i think it would be cool to have an ascendency focused on corpses as a resource and selfdamaging blood/bone spells, especially bc the devs dont seem to want to ut desecrate in poe2
Hey Tri - You should consider full time streaming the game on release. It would grow your fan base a ton with your personality
I will be for the first 5 days, essentially! Gonna do that announcement in a video closer to release
Will there be trading?
what is the name of official GGG POE Discord?
discord.gg/pathofexile
Are all classes available on Nov 15?
No, at the most there will be 8, the ones fully revealed thus far.
@@TalkativeTri hm, weird, i read on reddit there would everything, the full game, but i can't find confirmation about either anywhere so far. Gief Templar
I'm still confused about how to get into the early access, because I haven't seen a confirmation from the devs yet (unless I missed it).
Is there any confirmation about if it will be free to all, or how much (or what level supporter pack) it will cost to play? I'm on Xbox Series X, so I'm hoping I can escape D4 and start playing PoE 2 finally....
No information about that has been made public yet. The only thing they have said is that it will be accessible to all, meaning it won't be an invite only type of deal.
Jonathan has hinted that there will likely be similarities with how they have done early access in the past. This is where theories about gaining access through random free invites, 500 $ lifetime spending and 30 $ supporter packs come from.
Months ago Jonathan suggested that it would most likely be similar to previous betas for PoE1 (specifically Fall of Oriath), which would be the following;
Giving out a certain number of codes in batches for free at random to people who register for it, paid supporter packs that give guaranteed access to the early access alongside the usual supporter pack items (no limit on total players who can buy it), and finally giving guaranteed free access to anyone who has bought one of the $480 supporter packs OR have spent a total of $500 or more over the lifetime of their account.
This is completely subject to change. For now it's best to assume you will need to purchase a supporter pack to access the Early Access. The old PoE1 beta supporter packs costed like $30 and that should still be the case, but I would set my expectations around the $60 mark just so you don't get blindsided by it in a worst case scenario.
i tried poe twice before it hooked me, i was hooked when deli was new. and the skill that hooked me was flicker strike. my ps4 crashed so much lol then got a good pc
short thing about the poe discord.
the thing is if you have critique and people dont agree with you and start a fight because of that thing
moderators will mute you because you started defending yourself against 4-5 people
this discord isnt even moderated by someone who is in any relation with ggg no, but ggg devs lurk around there and everyone who was excluded from this community due to mistake or something else cant do anyhing about it.
there's always a risk of getting permaed when you chat in discords. mods can be very weird. best to just use them for information unless youre very familiar with the server, especially if it's a discord of a game you love
Really concerned that POE 2 is just going to feel too slow and garbage at end game
How often do the devs have to say they want you to feel like a god at endgame? Just with more visual clarity than PoE1.
@@Zevraellook they just need to show us white maps atleast
@@liampitout5483 Chances are that anything they show of endgame will be much slower than what we will experience when we get there. That's because they don't want people unfamiliar with the game to be overwhelmed by what is happening in promotional material.
But with the increased readability they strive for, there's a slim chance that might also not be necessary, allowing them to show actual blasting. We'll see.
There's also no harm in just waiting for a few weeks longer (than November 15th) and seeing people play actual characters into endgame. Then, you can see for yourself whether the game is too slow for you.
where link to the original interview??
It is stitched together from comments about the game on the official PoE Discord: discord.gg/pathofexile.
Question for a dev talk. Wil there be true 21:9 ultrawide support?
Great video! Love following you for poe 2 content. Could you link the poe 2 discord where thry give updates please?
discord.gg/pathofexile
-Uh, you mean POE 2 may be even better than POE 1?? -Really?
Merc needs a dash reload so i can live my graves jungle fantasy
45 support gems? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?
You won't need all of them for your build to function. But the room will be there, so why not use it?
@@Zevrael Well that part I did not know. if that's the case, that's awesome.
minion witch for sure
Talkative tri
Im wandering about something
Since the game called path of exile
Why don't we have a system which allow players to share their building in the game and have the skill tree auto assign for the similar parts and once reaching the maps the player should have complete the build as he like it according to his playstyle
Since the game have really big date that can support an like the one i mentioned above and what is the application of my ieda to the game
nice dude ill watch you live
61 days people
totems... !!! still waiting for some proper informazionnnns
Basket of Hatred? I don't get it lol, is that supposed to be a joke? :P
The biweekly mention is completed 😂
All I care about if smite wil return in poe 2
Seriously 😅
Will there be a pause or a break between early access and final release?
Nope, straight into final release!
@@TalkativeTri Ok thanks!
You will also be able to continue playing ea characters, but they will be in their own league, not in standard.
Tri, you underestimated the amount of support gems.
9 6Ls on ONE weapon loadout.
You have 4 more on weapon swaps.
13 6Ls. 65 support gems, then? Or can you reuse supports on weapon swaps?
Oh, I am actually unsure on this one.
Second weapon set do not have extra gem slots. Like, your character has 9 active gem slots and thats all. You can choose what of them will be using with the second weapon but nothing more. Gems are in separate menu, not in items. You can have no items at all and still have 9 six-linked active gems.
I don't think this is correct. They showed us the swapping mechanic at Exilecon last year, and that was not how it worked. I have not seen or heard anything to indicate this has changed. One exception may be that you get an extra slot if your swapped weapon has a different implicit skill, but we don't even know that yet.
I will play any class that can slam
Shapeshifting is not a weapon. I don't follow your logic there. It's a skill.
All non-spell skills are tied to weapons now.
@@TalkativeTri right, and it's a skill. Like flameblast. Or it's a reservation. Either way, it's not tied to a specific weapon. You might get ascendancies for individual shapes, but I see no reason to expect shapeshifting to be left off of ascendancies
@@TalkativeTri so what they mean is that you won't get ascendancies which say "swords do 50% more damage," but you will get ascendancies which are linked to skills and specific playstyles. To take your concern to the logical extreme, that would mean no minion based ascendancies, since they're tied to scepters. Or no berserker because they're tied to melee weapons.
I wonder how they will do trappers and miners, i've always made a couple of them every league and hope they get a nice treatment since they've always been a part of my leagues
I ran my first miner this league, power siphon. Absolutely loving it and hope they get some goodies.
(based on exilecon 2023, could be drastically different now) traps and mines are combined into a single trap item type you hold; any trap or mine skill is now combined into just being trap skills, and whether it's triggered manually or by proximity is determined by the base type you're holding.
@osetor7457 oh damn that's news to me.
I hope there will be some original mine skills like icicle and not just slapons like hexblast miners, we're gonna have to see what magic they will perform
Wonder if they did atlas tree links for player skill tree. Thatd be cool
I wouldn't put it past them, but that sort of thing could also erode the differences between the classes, which might make them shy away from it.
Looks amazing.
I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE MONK!! AHHHHHHHH!! THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST 2 MONTHS EVER!
Jesus, watching the defiler fight makes me concerned. Watch the healthbar as the minions wail on the boss and nothing happens. One charged bone spike thing does more damage than like 20 seconds of minion damage.
That build seems to be a general build made to showcase abilities and is not specialized
good, passive damage shouldn't be strong
@@rubisco5997 so minion builds shouldnt be viable?
@rennac9666 according to a lot of try hard POE players, no. Also with all the difficulty talk the devs do I dont see them making them overly viable..
