  • Опубликовано: 8 авг 2024
  • Will Wolcen be the game to take on Path of Exile, Diablo 3, and eventually Diablo 4? This aRPG shows a lot of promise. Formerly called Umbra when it was on Kickstarter, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a hack-and-slash game currently in alpha. Single-player only for now, but the devs are working on multiplayer. Inspired by Diablo 2, with Diablo 1 elements. These are my impressions / my review of Wolcen so far. Release date for Wolcen is unknown.

    Awesome video.
    Quick question though :
    You said our character has to start by selecting a node at the middle of the rotating thingy but you had nodes elsewhere on the first circle sections, could you talk a bit more about how this works?
    I assume the all point is that you can rotate the first circle too so obviously you need points everywhere but is that additionnal points or another thing ?

  • @Mystichunter
    @Mystichunter 6 лет назад +21

    I wasn't going to finish the video. But, when I saw that character name, I stayed awhile and listened.

    I'm excited about this. Any new serious competitor to this genre is welcome. It can only benefit us all. Competition usually results in better products for us the players. Rhykker, please keep us up to date with this game.

  • @xpsokol
    @xpsokol 6 лет назад

    @Rhykker hey what skills and play type would i need to use to build a Monk type build from diablo3

  • @Istaphobos
    @Istaphobos 6 лет назад

    Your first description was correct. A sector is the plane figure enclosed by two radii of a circle or ellipse and the arc between them. That perfect describes the passive skill tree layout. Comes form the Latin "sect" meaning "to cut" as opposed to sexta-hex for 6 and 1/6th
    your D3 videos have helped bring life and new interest into an aging game, Thanks

  • @thegreywizard06
    @thegreywizard06 6 лет назад +29

    @Rhykker A sector has nothing to do with how many parts you divide a circle in. It is merely a "slice" of a circle, to be precise a figure bounded by two radii and their arc.

    • @Lordmuhkuh23
      @Lordmuhkuh23 6 лет назад +6

      True, sector doesn't derive from sex (six) but instead secare (participle sectum), which means 'to cut'. :)

    • @KrzysiuNet
      @KrzysiuNet 6 лет назад

      ...and that's awesome, because that Latin word is a root of many, many modern words - not only Germanic langs, but also Slavic (like "siekiera" - an axe). One of my favs. I guess Wiktionary had a nice list.

  • @stiimuli
    @stiimuli 6 лет назад +4

    It definitely does look gorgeous and has some innovative elements. The skill wheel/web thingy takes me back to countless hours in Final Fantasy 10 trying to unlock all the orbs for each character.
    This really looks like a game to keep an eye on.

  • @IceSword1728
    @IceSword1728 6 лет назад

    I really enjoy how you review/explain these games. Do you have any plans to try Grim Dawn? Maybe I missed it but I did a search on your channel but didn't find anything about Grim Dawn.

  • @hyttemaier
    @hyttemaier 6 лет назад

    What are those path of exile runes, you are talking about 🤔are you refearing to sockets, skillgems or skillnodes? Im confused

  • @astrithaurelia
    @astrithaurelia 6 лет назад +9

    on your concern, fortunately there is a large crowd of ARPG players who enjoy innovating builds, who don't want that cookie cutter build, who will try out all kinds of really crazy stuff (just look at some of the PoE builds that happen), definitely a good chance of other builds.
    looks promising i personally look forward to trying it, wehn i think i can afford to :)

  • @Delain81
    @Delain81 6 лет назад +24

    Looks really promising, but i won't spent a cent yet, until it has multiplayer and has some more forther content etc. The early access trap got me too many times in the past lol. Thx for the heads up video anyways, cause without it, this game would be totally not on my radar.

    • @amzarnacht6710
      @amzarnacht6710 6 лет назад

      Yeah, I'm with this guy. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
      I'll buy in (it's cheap), and see how it progresses.
      How they monetize it is *incredibly* important. I am a solid fan of PoE's style - cosmetics and stash space, nothing that affects the game itself. Paying for every update/DLC immediately turns me off any game.

  • @Yursa_Luna

    So is there a way to reset your stat points and passive tree? Or do you need to make a whole new character to chenge anything?

    • @SapphireDragon357
      @SapphireDragon357 6 лет назад +13

      I'm keenly interested in this answer as well.

    • @destorka2389
      @destorka2389 6 лет назад +39

      Yes, you can reset both your stat and passive skill points at the Lore Master. But to be honest, I dont know, if this feature will stay in the final game or not.

    • @gogorer
      @gogorer 6 лет назад +3

      @tensor I'm sure there will probably be a way in the final release, but it most likely won't be infinite. at least I think that's a good compromise between the people you mention and us normies :-)

    • @Albertrossus
      @Albertrossus 6 лет назад +38

      I think such a feature HAS to be limited.
      No way to reset is bad, but absolutetly 0 consequences in your choices are stupid in my opinion.
      It makes for a lackluster experience as you could potentially always completly respecc into the op reddit build and smash content.
      I dont think it makes the game harder ( even tho that is the case ) / more rpg, but it kinda gives u the feeling that your choices matter.

    • @Albertrossus
      @Albertrossus 6 лет назад +1

      I do agree that there should be some sort of possiblity on respeccing I just dont like the nobrainer like d3 where u can just leave the fight and completly respecc in seconds.

  • @latkepotatopancake9812
    @latkepotatopancake9812 6 лет назад +3

    Honestly everything at the start seemed like a typical ARPG but then we got into the meat of it.
    - Rotating talent tree
    - Custom forge-able weapons
    - Crazy Ult forms
    Honestly I am so hype for this game to be more fleshed out. As with everything there are some worries with it all; with the biggest one being the optimal builds. You have so many possibilities but why would you use them if there is one 'super best uber build'? I am 100% for customization as it tickles my fancy but I hope they balance it properly to avoid ONE build being king forever and/or by a large margin being too powerful.

    Rhykker, I have an idea for you: can we (your fans and community) send news articles and threads from the official forums and the Diablo-subreddit to you, either via twitter or via the rhykker-subreddit? This way we can help you to search for news that you can use in your weekly recap videos and you didn't had to do all the research on your own. I think this would be a great way to involve your fanbase a bit more and it wouldn't even require much work from you.
    You can promote this at the end of your videos by saying "if you also have something that you think is worth mentioning in the Diablo and Overwatch news recap videos, post it on my subreddit /r/Rhykker". I am sure people will send you links and I definitely would like to contribute!

    • @clueso_
      @clueso_ 6 лет назад +3

      +Bunkitia thanks, I am already putting up a few posts on Rhykkers subreddit that he can use.

    • @clueso_
      @clueso_ 6 лет назад +1

    @Nagakuren943 6 лет назад

    Thank you for this nice overview. The overwhelming customization with the skill "tree" or rather say skill-circle , and the mutations with the custom form seems interesting as well, though you got the point with the optimization, still a really interesting feature , i would love to see a transformation which depends on choices and playstyle. I hope this game will be in beta as soon as it can:D I would love to play it when it is full, if they make the online multiplayer (co-op) experince as good as in D3

    Grim Dawn is a GREAT alternative. Also Torchlight 2. This new title has peaked my interest.

  • @Easyflux
    @Easyflux 6 лет назад

    That's a really good point, regarding apocalytic form. It might force the min-maxer into a set playstyle to achieve xyz buff/form. Hopefully they balance it REALLY well.

  • @MrVikingmead
    @MrVikingmead 6 лет назад +3

    Truly looks wonderful. My favorite aspect is the passive skill "tree." Just looks so unique and fun. I also like the idea of customizing items. Tried showing my wife the video/game. Her at-a-glance impression was "meh."
    "... you can personalize your character and customize your house."
    "Sold!"

  • @bregoelly9201
    @bregoelly9201 6 лет назад +203

    rhykker, you look at poe's skilltree wrongly, the poe tree is about creating a path that min-maxes your own build the best, not what defines a ' class'. poe's tree makes it so you can go heavy melee as a witch , or go spell caster tank. i for example have a necromancer that doesnt summon minions, but uses the buffs for your minions for myself so that i become more powerfull. not that i dont like how wolcen takes the road, but i just thought your way of poe's tree image is wrong

    • @65EKS65
      @65EKS65 6 лет назад +6

      Exactly my thoughts out there! Just written in much more sensible way. XD Also I don't know about what kind of story this Wolcen has but PoE has very deep story and background if one likes that. Personally I just enjoy the gameplay tho so I didn't even know about the story but only while ago.. :'D
      Also about the builds: Last build I was trying to create until real life hit against my face and I stopped playing for a moment, was build that would be based around flasks alone. Building it so that I can spam 24/7 flask and having nodes which make them last longer and recharge faster. Definitely not your basic class build! I wasn't too sure about it but it worked at least on lower tier maps (I think I got up to T6 with that one), couldn't level up it more to see if it would work on higher ones but I can't see why not as Atziri's Promise flask turns part of your damage to chaos damage and also leeches life based on chaos damage. The more AoE spam I can cast, the more I also heal. :D

    • @kevinguit15
      @kevinguit15 6 лет назад

      Its called a path finder go pathfinder u can spam flasks

    • @65EKS65
      @65EKS65 6 лет назад

      +IllustriousTV Oh ok thanks for info!^^ I'm fairly new to the game and haven't yet really searched what different builds are called. I suppose as it has name in the community that other people use it as well. I guess I need to try come up with something more original and creative next time eh. :D
      Also my first build I made was witch using dual bladefall totems but it got bit too boring and safe and started to lack damage after T10 maps so I dropped that. I was thinking to make Hierophant next with bladefall totems and hoping it would add up the damage with additional totems. Is this build already called something specific or is it popular? Also does anyone know if there is any way to find un-used builds other than just searching the popular builds and not using those? It would be important to me to keep things interesting as I always like to play with different style and create something that works but almost nobody uses.
      ((For example in one MMORPG called Champions Online I was one of the first to create tank focusing 100% on health and building everything around that. Even today partly because of it's small playerbase I believe I have solely the tank with highest reached health. :D))

    • @kevinguit15
      @kevinguit15 6 лет назад

      I dont think bladefall currently is a strong skill But hierophant is pretty good as a ascendancy yes totems are pretty strong in general , oh and if u need builds just check the forums its mostly Fotm builds tho cause ppl wanna clear fast and without dying to much so if u wanna play a off meta skill ur gonna have to try to build it your self or get an general Idea what people used to use on before it got either nerfed or changed

    • @PacificWar1
      @PacificWar1 6 лет назад

      I think this was a bit better before ascendancy locked some choices in. But I fully agree, currently running a block capped shrapnel shot/lightning arrow necro that's killed shaper guardians deathless lol.

    Grim Dawn (speaking of awesome aRPGs) can rotate the view as well, and it does help with some of their cave sections. But yeah, as soon as I'm done, I rotate it right back north, lol

    Idk man, i'm pretty sceptical. They seems to have just hand picked some of the better features of many RPG games (Passive Tree from Poe, Skill system from Diablo, Weapon crafting from Dragon Age 3) but the question is will they work well together and will they feel good.

    Being able to rotate the camera is actually really great, once you get used to being able to. A game that came out years ago; The Chosen - Well of Souls, had this functionality mapped to the mouse wheel and it was great...no more fighting blind as a wall or something got in the way...just rotate the camera and carry on. By the time I finished The Chosen, I really noticed the lack of the camera rotation functionality in other games...

    One thing I would enjoy about the adjustable camera angle.. just being able to look around at a well finished map. Diablo is beautiful but you know they were able to cut corners with their art style. This will give more depth to the worlds in my opinion. Very exciting.

  • @gettinyukky
    @gettinyukky 6 лет назад +15

    i disagree with the skill points you put in yourself don't add customability. For example in diablo 2 you could build enough strength on a sorc to use storm shield or you could put in less and use a lidless but you'd have less block and less def. if you went with storm shield youd have less dmg but more def. thats just one example of hundreds. that adds a ton of depth to a game, vs not being able to do that and being able to wear any gear u want. of course everyone will go with the best gear available if they dont need to sacrifice something.

  • @timmy666
    @timmy666 6 лет назад +3

    Wolcen looking cool but i prefer Diablo3's POTION SYSTEM. Its less annoying.
    Maybe make another type of potion that is used as a temporary elixir powerup & goes in another slot next to the health potion, that have a 3-5 min cd. Different types could go as such:
    *Diamond Elixir* - Increase armor & resists by 50% for 7 sec.
    *Vampiric Elixir* - Gain 25% lifesteal & 10% move speed for 7 sec.
    *Giant's Elixir* - Gain 20% health, 10% damage, and grow in size for 7 sec.
    *Mongoose Elixir* - Gain 25% move speed & attack speed for 7 sec.
    *Master's Elixir* - Gain 10% crit chance & 25% crit dmg for 7 sec.
    These elixirs could be very expensive to make or find. They'd be used for the hardest content and go away once used. Use them @ the right time to overcome difficult obstacles. You can only have one Elixir on you at a time.

      Still have it installed. It crashes every hour or so but well... I never found a game so atmospheric and paradisiac. It was ahead of its time. Some of the developers are working on a similar title. It is called unbended, but I fear that is has been abandoned...

    I just don't understand how some think less is more here. For me, the more you have going on is always a plus in an arpg.
    D3 was just so shallow it didn't take long for me to move on.
    Poe is the top arpg for sure.
    I haven't played this one so I will withhold judgement.
    The tomes are Gems in poe.
    The umbra/rage mechanic could be really nice. That's been in many games but I don't recall it in an arpg.
    HOWEVER, These guys have been sitting on the EA for while without actually making any real progress since sitting in steam.
    Save your $$. Not because its a bad game but because it may never actually be a finished game.

    @radomaleshkov51 6 лет назад +3

    Really hard to beat Path of exile choices of builds... Poe is based on limitless range of choices based on the skill tree and items. Also the whole gem skills in poe can be mixed aswell. The whole crafting system in poe gives you avalability for the many builds you can come with. Pllayers allways create amazing builds in poe that even the creators of the game didnt notice. :)

  • @bAtACt1X
    @bAtACt1X 6 лет назад +28

    There is a very big problem for new classic arpg´s:
    GrindingGearGames developed POE so far beyond the edge... there is less chance for a new game of that kind to compare with it. Exception: ARPG`s that dont go very deep, have nice gameplay, lvldesign and grafics, but are very casual.
    This would have players but wouldnt be a threat to POE.
    Poe now is, for ARPG kind, of what WOW used to be in terms of mmorpg for a very long time. Its hard for younger games to follow that time/content distance.
    The only other exception i could imagin is an ARPG that does something completely new and different.
    And wolcen does not semm to do that. Anyway... i will try it, like most POE players.

      PoE is the creme de Le creme of ARPG.. I’m 30 and I played d1-2-3, I also played WoW vanilla .. This dudes right PoE is the WoW vanilla of ARPG games, it’s f2p w/ no p2w and an endless skill tree, so much depth you can get lost it in for months (and many do)
      I shall give this game a whirl but I doubt it will knock PoE off top spot

      it can be overwhelming at first, but it's really simple and clear, you can type and search for nodes, like Spell damage or Attack speed, so you don't need to roam all tree to find one needed point. Also, there are Ascendancy poits, that are very simple to understand. It's complicated only at the first glance. I think, Wolcen's wheel skill tree is much more complicated at this moment.

  • @-Nudal
    @-Nudal 6 лет назад +3

    Keep in mind, if Wolcen does release before Diablo 4, that could be just as bad. That uphill battle PoE had to do helped it become an amazing contender. If Wolcen realese even months before Diablo 4, people may quickly tire of it and suddenly have a new option.
    At the end of the day, taking time to perfect the game is always better. Releasing a month or 2 after Diablo 4 may be best honestly, the hype will die down, and all the 'play a month and forget it' players will have moved on from Diablo 4.

If you pay attention to blizzard at all, you will know their patterns and how they do things. By the time Diablo 4 comes out this game will already have its first expansion

      Manuel Rodríguez Fernández Diablo 4 would have something that none of these games will ever have. The name "Diablo". It's a worldwide renowned name and has the world's most incredible base of fans loyal to its name. So don't worry about the success of Diablo.

      @zockerfprever 6 лет назад

      "Not sure that Diablo 4 is gonna be successful just copying something that already exist and is FREE TO PLAY."
      And PoE had the original idea? Generally it is better to improve existing ideas and concepts than to create something own / new which is not fully developed or might not satisfy everyone. Especially Blizzard knows how to extract existing concepts to their own games. Nothing wrong about it.

  • @kooken58

    • @RyanMeeks1
      @RyanMeeks1 6 лет назад +30

      its also one of the reasons more people dont play it. some people just wanna jump on a game and smash bad guys. not have to do a play through to find out they screwed up on their talent web and have to make a new toon and plan out their new talents so far ahead. huge levels of depth like that are for some and not for others, its not "the superior system". the way i suggest PoE and Grim Dawn is that if youre more of a hardcore gamer, PoE will prob be better for you, and if youre more casual grim dawn maybe better for you.

    • @kooken58
      @kooken58 6 лет назад +12

      That is why I mentioned it is the main reason I, as in ME, plays it. I am not bashing the game and even stated I wish the devs the best of luck. People are saying this is competition for PoE, but I don't see it that way. It is more competition for Diablo than anything.

    • @jakerabjohns9055
      @jakerabjohns9055 6 лет назад +12

      Agreed. PoE is for the nerdiest nerds amongst the ARPG crowd (already one of the nerdiest groups of nerds in the gaming community). The Dev's know it, the players know it, and that's why we all love it so much. It's a game for those of us for whom a spreadsheet simply isnt detailed enough. This looks like a pretty adequate challenger to D3, and I do enjoy D3, but generally for no more than a week or so untill I have completed my character, then back to PoE.

      One thing i kinda agree with is that the skill tree looks better on paper. As in everyone is a scion ascendant. I say on paper because the skill tree first and foremost has to be interesting. I doubt this could replace PoE for me either. Something in my opinion no RPG can beat Path of exile in is itemization.
