I clicked cus I thought it was a video shitting on PoE and I like seeing opinions other than my own but then I saw it was a Dervish build. Much respect.

[@Cheddariz]

Why thank you guud sir, unfortunately not shitting in this video but ive got plenty of poo to spue

[@ulamss5]

This is a wildly optimistic representation of present-day POE.

[@Cheddariz]

I need help

[@minijag972]

Path of Exile has a more than a unique players every month. I understand calling it an indie title. But its a huge game with a lot of players

[@Cheddariz]

Login!

[@athraxis]

it is no longer an indie title

[@lazytopaz]

Dude that's second clip that popped up for me from your channel. Keep it up. Dunno why but your right in your face approach to the game like "go effin check it out ! it's good shit!" I like it. Also PoE rulez. You don't hold our hands you are honests about this game being quite complex but that's ok. It's good to challange yourself and go out of your comfort zone and try something different and maybe learn something new. Tho' GGG has loads of space to improve the game to make it more clear how things work/how mechanics adjust stuff against each other. Because some builds are difficult to tell if you're doing smthg wrong/missing smthg or just plain dumb mistake. Also I'm toying around with hollow palm on standard, dex stack on my duellist champion. It's similiar to your tho I'm using different uniques than you. Also post your PoB :) that kinda draws attention from ppl/other channels that talk about PoE/builds do that ;). Hope it helps and keep up the good work. You'll get wherever you want to go with your channel just keep at it !. But back on the topic : whole industry is full of ...well let's not dance around the subject - of SHIT. Heard of AAAA skull and bones? That's just another plain example of the cancer that is tainting the industry. Luckily there are still good games being released... but in most cases done by smaller studios that don't have corporate leash around their necks where shareholders tell developers what to focus their efforts on. Screw that. We want good games, good entertainment that doesn't try to force some fucking agenda down your throat. You just want to sit down after work, relax, kill some monsters, be epic for few hours and get back to regular life afterwards.

Man, I needed to read this this morning. I really appreciate the encouraging words. I've always been my worst critic, and I didn't think people would really find much value out my content. It's especially hard making poe content cause there's so many excellent creators in this space that I get imposter syndrome. But if there's one thing I could say to any person sick of these shitty AAA titles is come play poe. I basically have the opposite problem. I can't play your shitty fucked game!

27:56 finally someone who recognizes us in the community instead of going "uhhh standart is dead hurr"

[@Cheddariz]

lol what can i say i just play

[@bryansans2564]

No game these days keeps my attention like this POE. It continues to blow away competition in ways that still confound me. over 1000+ hrs in and im still learning! now that's an effing game.

[@Cheddariz]

Preach! Have you seen the latest trailer for PoE2? There really are no developers like GGG.

[@bryansans2564]

@@Cheddariz I have! its exciting but it keeps pushing back which i get so i will put all my excitement into POE until more concrete dates are set in

[@FlareFluff]

Odd as it sounds, if someone is new to ARPG or wants to learn themselves, id recommend torchlight infinite. it explains the offensive defensive and utility layers with "in game pob" tools for ehp and gem linking stuff in a very nice little sandbox without the weird poe currency and crafting system. Its a more railed experience to learn gems links and defenses jsut from playing trough the first act or two

[@Cheddariz]

Ya I wanted to give that one a try.

[@rockkiller124]

Can't wait for POE2, it will be peak ARPG

[@Brandon-tn4zl]

i think you should stream call of duty, you'd really blow up.... praze white jeebus

[@rot456]

i hated alt tabbing to the wiki every minute while playing the game but somehow it's worth it

[@Cheddariz]

Bruh I played on console for 4 years cause it's worth it lol.

[@lazytopaz]

@@Cheddariz PoE on console!? :O I'm having problems sorting out my stash on PC... geez what a nightmare it must be on a controller ... wait where did I put that hmmm... . I'm patient but not that patient. PoE suffers from item clutter. It should drop 50%-80% less of stuff because most of it is useless, whilst that fraction of stuff that is actually useful/good for the most part is not useful for your build anyway. But at least you can sell it to someone else to make some currency to actually equip yourself so in the end it's not so bad but still you get my point.

[@mediocrity25years68]

I only play SSF mode in POE if POE 2 doesn't have SSF mode Ill stick with POE original.

[@Cheddariz]

Surely it has ssf

[@Horus025]

this poe league is ass. done almost every thing t17s are over tuned and not runnin them feels bad this league also has the least amount of players yet. and the mech is clunky the ui looks bad. 20 challages done and i hate this so much.

[@Cheddariz]

Ya it's been a slog. I must admit I wished I would have quit a Lil sooner I just started BG3. Holy shit. Still PoE's worst are still better than most

[@Horus025]

@Cheddariz yea I agree it's why I have played since ascendancy patch than played on console in harb league to the last league. Started a new pc account this year and put 2000 hours on the game. But I does seam every 4 leagues there's one that is bad. And I do wish melee got some love and that this current meta would end.

[@Horus025]

@Cheddariz also what has been your favorite league? Mine was synthesis

[@Cheddariz]

@@Horus025 poe 2 lol

[@Cheddariz]

@thorne1905 my favorite was my first. Beyond, it was so different back then but hc was amazing I never made it past 82

[@FlareFluff]

you try Project diablo 2? its pretty fun

[@Cheddariz]

Now that one is probably my next binge I've herd nothing but great things

[@CANomad27]

AAA games are made to extract maximum dollars from your wallet for minimal input and minimal quality. This is the the philosophy at the core (along a few others aspects) of capitalism. All that is sacred and cherished crumbles before the profit incentive. You are at worst a slave with extra steps, at best, cherished cattle.

[@Cheddariz]

[@dervakommtvonhinten517]

interesting topic, but i dont like my time wasted. if you insist on rambling then at least give us an overview of your points and timestamps :/ 30 minutes is WAAAAAAAAY too much to cover that topic

[@Cheddariz]

Your absolutely correct guud sir, definitely laziness on my part. TY for the feedback timestamps are now in.

[@dervakommtvonhinten517]

@@Cheddariz appreciated, thanks. i realize im impatient, but i dont think thats a rarity in the youtube audience :P

[@Cheddariz]

@@dervakommtvonhinten517 honestly I just kicked this one out lazily, you called me out lol

[@asdkilenc6020]

the problem is that yeah u have such a freedom what u can do, but if u're nat playing those axact build that are meta u are gonna be soo weak that u will be locked out a big part of the game, soo that build devrsity and freedom is just a big illusion. also the devs, thay don't give a flying F just like with the oter AAA games.

[@pewpin1039]

That is absolute BS. 100% redditor bandwagon mentality. Nearly all uber bosses are killable trough skill alone with average builds. And I mean average. I have killed ubers on 4~ mil DPS, and no, not meta builds. The whole "meta" bs in PoE is 100% sour grapes mentality that people disprove over and over and over again every league on SSF leagues. Yet a very vocal community continues to claim that PoE is beatable with meta builds only.

[@aljaziification]

you being bad at the game isnt gggs fault

[@asdkilenc6020]

​@@pewpin1039and what's that build if your? i'm 100% sure it's a meta build too, or some off shoot of one and u're just bad at copying so i feels just "normal"

[@asdkilenc6020]

​@@aljaziificationand u're even worse and is it ggg's fault?

[@Cheddariz]

Not going to lie I do play meta builds in order to farm for my wonky fun ones, but I never really felt I "had to". I remember playing vaal ice shot when it first came out and everyone else was playing LA. Full MF 12m dps felt great! They where 20m plus I could have pushed but I was fine where I was at. I guess we as players decide what we like and play, but I stand by what I said. No other game offers this kind of experience.
