[@needsanameedit4982]

(as someone that has never played POE) tbf the general advice for new players is to start out using a guide instead of trying to go in blind so not sure added complexity makes that much of a difference. Like going from a complexity of 50 to 75, when new players may be overwhelmed by 20, is not going to matter. If a new player would not use a guide in the first place no amount of added or removed complexity will change that. These changes just seem like the devs fixing annoying problems that the community has by adding another system to the game, perfectly fine for the vets and will be just 1 more thing to learn for the newer players.

[@Exarvi]

you know what, that's actually a good thing and adds massively to longevity of the game

[@Shiirow]

@@Exarvi I dont think you understand what "longevity" means. Adding more systems on top of systems by adding more things to micromanage. Adding overly complex horse shit on top of the already bloated game systems wont do anything but give people further reason to not play. meaning those who do play will eventually wane and without fresh blood, the playerbase will dwindle. thats the opposite of longevity.

@@ohyea456 They're adding it because it gives variety. There are plenty of times where some skills want certain points for AoE and others for ST. This allows those things to work at maximum potential without having to use weird elemental conversions to do so. Or if we look at something like regular PoE, when you don't need the splash from Tribal Fury, you can have it instead go into more damage like frenzy nodes or some more crit or w/e you could've spent those points in instead. This allows for more variety and letting some skills that shine in AoE or ST to be used with skills that shine in the opposite without harming the other. Could also make for unique playstyles of an elementalist, using multiple elements without having to use weird shenanigans like Omni.

@@VDA19 the game was released in 2013 and it had downfalls and up + poe2 looking fantastic, better than diablo 4 already.

[@thunderfireblaze9728]

​@@VDA19That's probably going to be the same amount of players in diablo 4 seeing how there's no qol changes in season 1. Wonder how long it will take to give us more than 1 stash tab and finally fix sorc resistances

@@VDA19 20k steam users you mean, that's about half, so what exactly wrong with 35k+ online two months into league?

meanwhile blizzard "we get lagz because you load much people with their stashes u know"

[@ed04ruthy]

I love GGG devs. They really put their passion into this game. I just really regretted myself that I missed the whole party when I just started playing PoE 2 months ago. Not to mention the community and its playerbase seems nice to newbs

[@sgtflashback5442]

Same here. Never knew this game existed before a few months ago. My dumb mind had heard the title of it, but somehow I had it registered as some dumb mobile p2w. Lol

[@holonaut]

It looks like there are general skill points and weapon specific skill points. So you would have one main tree with small weapon specific branches.

[@Sidewinder84x]

I just wanted the "always attack without moving" checkbox for D4. Its been a staple of PoE for years, playing without it just feels like you aren't playing a modern game.

[@KiraNightV]

I know it's not the same but if you hold shift your character will stay in place to cast. For controller your character will only move when you actually want to. I want that option too, it's annoying to have to hold a button when controller works that way without adjustment and PoE has it built in

[@TastyScotch]

You hear that? That is the sound of the arpg community collectively going SPLOOSH all at the same time 😂

[@OrganicStuff1]

I’m so angry I paid for Diablo 4 , can’t even come to play season 1 because of their terrible decisions

[@Alleyezonjimz]

Play it! Season 1 is great so far, really enjoying it. :) people are just being a bit weird about it.

[@kurseng]

Meanwhile D4 devs still figuring out which skill on Sorcerer to give +5% increased damage.

[@Film_Quest]

That’s actually an insanely cool mechanic that I’ve never seen before in any other game. Tbh I would drop D4 for POE2 if I hadn’t already invested $90 into it. I can’t believe I spent $90 on a single game smh... Also that POE skill tree is daunting

[@YoutubeDictatorship2024]

Bro the game doesn’t come out for at least one and a half YEARS, lol, settle down

[@Film_Quest]

@@KZbinDictatorship2024 LOL my bad I didn’t know 😂

[@dragonflyx654]

Don't be afraid of the tree. There are thousands of guides that you can use to help you learn or even just to show you what to do for your build. The game is great and only continues to get better while blizzard is imploding. It's sucks to waste a bunch of money on a game that doesn't pay out but that's just how it goes sometimes

[@Exarvi]

Drop it anyway, reject sunken cost fallacy and don't look back if you don't enjoy the game

[@Ichthyodactyl]

The tree is large, yes, but most of the nodes are pretty simple passives, so you can get pretty far into the game without needing to focus on anything game-changing. Most of the more complicated parts of the tree aren't even really accessible until you're pretty far into the game. By that time, you will probably have re-rolled a character or two anyway unless you're following a guide, in which case they are pretty good at explaining why you take which nodes. I hate playing by guides, personally, I think it ruins the explorative aspects of the game but there are really good guides out there for those that need that to actually get into the game.

[@Exarvi]

GGG looking at D4 be like: "WRITE THAT DOWN!"

[@ryabread9110]

A while ago Asmon said he hopes they make Path of Exile 2 simpler so that it's more attractive for new players, but seems like it's just even more complicated.

[@thirtysilver33]

I consider myself a little slow and none of this is "complicated". Hold one button assign weapon, assign spells, hold other, repeat; then go big slanging danging.

[@ozone8839]

It’s one of the main reasons I could never pick up the game. I’m sure it’s a great game but in my opinion there is such a thing as too much.

[@papay4395]

Good

[@leagueleaders]

This is why D3 is a great game for casuals. Even a dummy like me can make a build without research and hyper delete enemies enjoying a power surge dopamine hit for an hour.

[@chadbear8759]

Anyone who thinks this is complicated should definitely hire a life coach.

[@KKKuma]

I guess that is how you solve the problem that was created when you try to solve another problem. It is a very good way of thinking ahead and doesn't make other people question your decision. Hopefully it translate well when the game launches

[@ceeril]

Playing PoE is like having a second full time job.

[@Normadus]

and playing Diablo is like getting fucked in the ass by blizzard with every patch :D

[@andresgonzalez5676]

To be fair, this applies to most games if you don't practice self control in your gaming sessions.

[@MsBlablablum]

most of us finish new season in less than 2 weeks.

[@Thalaranthey]

i have not close to 800 hrs in 10 years of playing, sure i dont play every league, just one in three but i i never played a single league more than 120 hrs including afk times for trade(and they last 3 months) and i always get to t16's and usually beat top boss for the league. You dont have to compete in ladder, have 6 mirror eq or even beat every boss to enjoy the game.

[@101wormwood]

if you enjoy your job you never work

[@TheoriePraxis]

the moment when convinced diablo players think to themselves... okay we're screwed - we're really screwed

[@BrightZheng1996]

Then we also need two sets of ascendancy points, two sets of altas tree points, two sets of pantheon points, two sets of...
