Sad but not Sad at all. 😢😂 sucks but doesn't suck. 3 weeks ain't shit tbh. It's just the time off stuff that sucks...... gotta reschedule

I'm glad for the changes. If they just make it like POE, then why not just play POE. I want POE2 to be a much more streamline experience compared to POE which feels clunky, requiring players to get 3rd party tools and all of these clunky systems. Forget that, it is awful, I don't care if other people tolerate it, but me and my friends do not and I want something my friends and I enjoy playing and not feel like a second job.

It's too late to change course now but idk why they wanted the mtx to carry over in the first place. I don't think anyone would have complained if they never made a promise like that. Maybe it made sense back when poe 2 was expected to be a poe 1 expansion but now they are very clearly different games. I feel bad for the people that had time off scheduled but I'm not super bothered by an extra 3 weeks wait, compared to how long I've been waiting for this game it's nothing.

I wonder if even 3 additional weeks is enough time for them to get this work done correctly? I’m just preparing myself in case early access gets pushed out to 2025…

They made a promise about purchase transfers, so they have to make sure database migrations go right. Of all the things to delay the game for, ensuring that your accounts link properly and that all your data transfers properly is absolutely a legit reason. The only thing I'm annoyed by really want to hear from them is what the potential dates (or plans) for PoE 3.26 is now. I imagine this has to push back the plans for that release as well, which sucks for us as PoE enjoyers, but I have to imagine it also sucks for them as well since it pushes back all their plans and removes the opportunity to get 2 more chances for monetization (the PoE2 early access and the PoE 3.26 supporter packs).

Not sure why they need to migrate all mtx over to poe2 on EA release. At most I could see them doing stash tabs only instead of everything at once

IMO they should have left MTX in POE1 as is. It's not as though POE1 is going anywhere. On the flip side I want GGG to win and if they don't think it's ready I am happy to wait

Unfortunately very solid reason to push it back. It's the kind of issue that multiplies along different avenues if you let it out in the open half done. Infrastructure needs to be in place, tested, and working. Everything else can be fixed in due time, this one doesn't have the privilege of staying unfixed. Not happy about it, starting to be a bit grumbly about how little has been happening on the news front, but I'd rather endure a wait that feels long than a launch that feels awful. One will be forgotten, the other won't.

Its joever I will never financially recover from this

delayed for a stupid reason honestly

Thoughts? What else could they really do in this situation? Disappointing for sure but I'm still hyped for December 6th. How are you coping with the news? I'll be rebooking my planned leave asap XD

Fo mo statics are horrible

i love using druids especially in games like diablo it would be cool if u could turn into a giant man spider or minotaur or a man dragon on 2 feet

Be cool to see them shift into a spider. Or like you said a creature from the game.

Path of exile: Any class can use any skill or weapon! Also path of exile: Girls cant be heavy hitting melee classes. Sneaky bitches and pretty magic princesses ONLY. Gender locked classes is gross, archaic, and has no place in todays games. Could whoever made this choice PLEASE fuck ALL the way off and right out of the gaming industry? Thanks :)

1. Flasks? Great! In PoE1 Flasks are totally nonsensical OP so it's the MageBlood because of it. 2. Skills tied to weapons? Great! In PoE, it doesn't matter if you are using fast dagger or slow 1H mace (other than speed) because animations are the same. 3. Gems and gear don't mix? Finally! This is so annoying in PoE that you have to resocket and recolor everything useful so in 99.9% you just buy things because it's easier. 4. Dual specialization? Great! Finally, weapon swap will be useful for something else than just leveling gems. 5. Boss design? Great! This could be a skill-based rather than a gear-based game. 6. CC? I'm not sure about this. The idea is great but I'm afraid it will be exploited to the point with perma CC even on bosses. 7. Minions? Spirit's idea is great. What I didn't like about what I've seen so far is the AI where melee minions are behind you or 2 screens behind not helping you. Also looks like we will have the same issue with Spectres if they die as there is no Beastiary from when you can spawn whatever monster you killed till now. 8. Active blocking? Great idea and for sure better than just a stat "+5% chance to block" 9. WASD? Looks great but let's wait and see how it feels with other classes than mercenary. 10. 12 classes? Yes, please! My biggest concern. 1. They will make another confused and overcomplicated crafting system. (LE did a great job here) where easier is just to buy than craft which leads to a currency farming simulator. 2. We won't have an in-game trading system. C'mon. WoW 20 years ago was able to implement such a thing. 3. Mazes. I have no idea who told them that people like mazes. This is so frustrating that instead of progressing you are just searching for an exit. 4. Labirynth. Let's hope they dropped this idea completely. This is annoying as hell which is connected to the point above where boss fights takes seconds.

Definitely going to play mercenary and if possible probably throw in some bow abilities (if it works like that)

obviously I am going to be summoning some skeletons

When do this comes out?

i played quite a bit of WASD in Poe2 and I can say that while it is almost mandatory for range, as a melee it was really hard to move as nuanced as you can with the mouse button.

Imagine if they make a Vampire class?... and take vrising as inspiration... omg

Where is the Spiritborn? 😅

Nice video :)

Wait.... wait.. bro... Did PoE 2 release Crusader before D4!? LOL... *facepalm* "Like a chaff before the wind" xD

Im certainly going to give this a try but the way they changed skill gems im not sure ill enjoy that.

New to this whole Genre and got into this style of gaming through D4. I love how many more classes there are in POE2. Will there be an actual story campaign though?

50 fusings for a 6L!? what cheat code did you use?

As long I can play with a controller nothing else matters😅

When it comes to the wasd movement I’ll probably give it a go, thankfully I don’t have to use 4 fingers for it though because I use an Azeron gamepad which makes these sorts of games feel so good to me.

Are all classes Gender locked again?...

I think WSAD will depend on build. Ragners, definitely. We'll see tho!

this look now like real bad copy from d4 who need new d4 crap

1,5 and 8 will suck so bad

It really looks good but my only fear is it will be too grindy for a gamer dad like me.

A wolf

Isn't socketing gems into gear n weapons part of the lore tho? It sounds like we're gunna be gemlings lol

Specialization sounds good but i don't think it will be good at all. swapping does sounds good but when you do swap the tree it will change the skill tree you were building which you have put points into it than you will end up missing many points because u have selected several different skill tree when if it blackened than you are not using that skill point you have put in so not sure that is a good thing at all

Poe is hot garbage. And this video is just a confirmation of that. For so many years, the bulk of the ARPG scene outside of the niche group of a few thousand players that actually consistently play it, have been crying for change to systems like the 6 link and gems being unique items and skill trees being too strict and over complicated and having to play piano with flasks as your only skill expression in the game. The fanboys have defended it as being "the way the devs and community wanted things to be". Well that's clearly bullshit because the first chance the devs got to actually rebuild their game, they have wiped the floor with all those systems and redesigned it to be something less psychotic. So hopefully poe2 won't be the garbage poe1 is. Would be nice to look on steam charts and see more than 12k players online.

if merc can equip an off hand rapier/shortsword for a val helsing/witch hunter style playstyle would be great

"The unnamed ARPG that has recently had an expansion" has been stillborn all along. The expansion is the final nail in the coffin. I'm so looking forward to POE2!

Thanks for the concise and to the point information that is strongly relevant to most gamers.

"Players who like to gamble "... I want to see one outside those who have possibility of gaining money out of it aka "casino style"

I realy hate dual weapon setup games. I hope this is optional and you are not forced down this rabbithole. It simply not suites my taste and I hope it works out well.

Had to check comments after that flask bit, not because I knew they changed them to allow white mobs but just because that sounds like a nightmare if they hadn't.

nice video mate, cant wait to play....will play sorcerer mercenary and druid

I'm going to sound insane, but there is one change that I hated at first that I changed my mind on. The fact that you can now only use one instance of a specific support gem across your entire character. I get why it might feel like it's too restrictive and it's limiting fun, but I actually think it's one of those limitations that tend to spark innovation. You will HAVE to find creative ways to deal with the fact that you can no longer use GMP or Faster Casting or whatever on more than one of your gems. Looking forward to racking my brain over which gems to use where. :D

RIP Diablo

I realy do not like that change to flasks, but will wait and see. If it damages game play like I think, I am sure they will change them

Really not a fan of the potions and skills tied to 1 weapon...

i think i will use wasd keys. my mouse got like 10 buttons i can map for the kills..
