[@ActionRPG]

What does everyone think? Ready for some Witch Action? Thank you all for watching and don't forget to checkout the official Action RPG Discord: discord.gg/YHa2UGhFQ5

[@SithLordBishop]

minions zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@aw3s0me12]

Minions at start, then *replacing* them with *PETs* and main focus taken *miniBosses* as PETs with ranged Magic Skills "Dark-Laughing" ;)

[@NargaiaTV]

PoE2 Makes me feel like a child waiting for christmas day, this game is nothing short of revolutionary :p

[@ActionRPG]

seriously!

[@Matt-gf4gd]

Ditto. I can't remember a time where I've been this excited for a game launch and this confident that I won't be let down. GGG have been cooking.

[@loganwhite6173]

Agreed. I went from could care less about poe2 to now I can't wait

[@Matt-gf4gd]

@@loganwhite6173 greatest ARPG ever created inbound!

[@roland4507]

Yes, I did not have that feeling about any game for a long time. And still 10 days to wait.😉

[@Chris-zg7ty]

I can't stop watching PoE2 content. It's just so refreshing seeing devs talk about a game they love and understand and really are passionate about and who respect their fans. PoE2 looks amazing.

[@Profet19]

I would LOVE to hear his opionion about last epoch, he is clearly incredibly able and proffesional.

[@siddgang]

These summary videos of long podcasts would be of immense help. Hope you plan to do more of these often as not everyone can watch 2hr podcasts :)

[@Takaoshi]

The skills granted by ascendancies also have levels but they level up automatically based on your characters level :)

[@isaiah1516]

A-aron it was awesome getting to see the Sub-a-thon end. Didn't think I'd be there to watch the clock count down. Now I know why other people get so excited for New Year's.

[@jlstruyde]

If Jonathan was never a game dev. I can see him as an auctioneer. He talks pretty fast... lol

[@AugmentedDebility]

for my neurodivergent ass this is unbearable ^^

[@Exathius]

Think the game will play well. I like how alot of features open up in endgame, that way you dont lose too much focus getting through the story.

[@LogOutMacro]

Jonathan was so ready to share about things that weren’t covered. EHG can take a page here bc I kept thinking that Mike would never “be allowed” to share that unless it was Explicitly already shared

[@andrejk.5765]

Mike isnt director of the game

[@LogOutMacro]

@@andrejk.5765 hey! thanks for the comment.... thats why I put "be allowed"... im very aware and familiar with how devs and hierarchies work. ;)

[@Billy.Bacsko]

This is so exciting!

[@Grau85]

Thanks Aaron for the tldr

[@postpwnedtv]

I cant wait!

[@LVHAXOR316]

Can't wait

[@KHALK008]

I play on GFN. POE2 EA will not be on GFN so I just got a 6-month 49$/month Shadow PC subscription so that I can play this. Am I ready for POE2 ? Who can tell.

[@dust921]

for the witch id love to see golem trees like (1) goats litch golem/ that's long rang cold caster /comes with 3 small goat pets/ and mana leeching (2) zombie abomination golem / 3 zombo pets/ hp regen /plegs speeding & stinks / melee tank (3) vampire blood golem /3 vamp pets or bats/ hp leach & hp share/ mid range impaler assassin DPS.....give demons & fire to the sorc or make a cultist es summoner class bc demons and fire dont fit the undead theme

[@aw3s0me12]

Dude, ... NO. Better and already what he can, … she can *"make ANY killed Mob INCLUDING miniBosses"* to her *PET* perma !! > And those are FAR stronger. > Since there are MANY different MOBs and miniBosses, some DD some Tanky some Magical some hyprid,... you can *CHOOSE* between those *you have catched !!* Minions < PETs *Watch* the PoE2 *witch trailer* at time-stamp 6:32 THERE you see how a stronger MOB sh just did beat, get as Spectre (PET) and summons him to her side fighting, and he is using several MEGA skills, None of your minions will ever reach to do in damage. The Stats like HP are multiple higher than those of minions, ... please check the witch trailer and watch at 6:32 > I repeat... EVERY MOB,... is able to be cached and used as PET. I have posted it also in our Discord, I believe, general chat. =)

[@rezz5700]

Re rolling an atlas will be abused if the local map influences are effected. It’s easier to die 4 times if you don’t like your influences. I see it being abused.

[@3_1_3rd_gaming]

PoE 2 doesn't give the vibes that it's a mere sequal. It feels like an entirely new game. Destiny 2 and division 2 seriously felt the exact same to name a few.

[@Itachi-Uchiha]

big oof for exp loss still in game... i was never able to get passed level 93 in poe 1 because of it. you die and you lose multiple days worth of grinding.... feels bad man.

[@Cadrieldur]

Jonathan speaks at 2x speed

[@baldthug51o]

rip, no hybrid controller support coming dec 6th. gotta pick your poison controller or kbm per session

[@k1w1fru1t9]

I hate the death penalty

[@Matt-gf4gd]

I feel like some consequences for dying is good. We'll see how it's implemented.

[@kissrings]

I hate when games have 0 death penalty. Everything gets a bit more meaningful when theres a penalty.

[@Nomoon777]

I think that it both make sense and it is good for the game. The idea that 100 is the peak of a character and it being hard to reach is good, but it is hard not necessarily because you need to grind forever but because while gaining XP is not too hard keeping the XP is.

[@k1w1fru1t9]

@@Nomoon777 I find the BS one shots in POE make it quite stressful to level up to 100

[@Nomoon777]

@@k1w1fru1t9 That is fair, but i would argue that the issue there is the oneshot that come out no where and not the penalty,

[@KusoTrevor]

Come back to the stream! :) Please.

[@profrollchen9946]

Sry but the argumentation for losing xp when dying is just lukewarm. Put a deathcounter somewhere: problem solved. Then ppl can compare their internet-dicks according to their time / death ratio. When I am not part of the way to 100 race but I want to experiment in higher levels this shit sucks.

[@leederlee]

The only thing that poe2 makes me worried about is the future of LE. LE will look worse once poe2 is out that’s for sure and Diablo is getting better with every season as well…

[@LVHAXOR316]

Diablo is not getting better with each season at all IMO

[@DoctorStrange01]

@@LVHAXOR316 It is, but D4 getting better is a "polishing a turd" type of situation, they can polish that turd for years but in the end it will just be a well-polished turd, it won't turn into a candy. LE is not a turd but the development pace is just very slow. Too slow.

[@leederlee]

@ yes it is, slowly and a lot less than it could but it’s improving

[@cajun_canuck]

Beholden to MTX is one of the downsides to PoE1/2. Not a deal breaker, but interesting that they're effectively saying that they'll always be tied to them and that's a limit to their game design.

[@Ichthyodactyl]

If this is with regards to the portal MTX, it's the direct result of them offering cross-game MTX support that doesn't benefit them at all and benefits the playerbase. It is a restriction, yes but it's an unnecessary and entirely self-imposed one that they are only abiding by because it benefits the players to do so. If they were any other company, they'd just not have cross-game MTX support and just have people buy new MTX instead.

[@SithLordBishop]

hi

[@HouseofGausss]

Game of the decade and they couldn't make an ingame loot filter, pft, we as a playerbase are giving too much leeway to GGG just because the standard is low thanks to D4.

[@leederlee]

Yeah what a shit developer… dude srsly get a life

[@ConvoyD2]

We have Neversink for that dude

[@DoctorStrange01]

@@ConvoyD2 It's crazy that such simps like you will still defend them when we have LE from a much smaller studio making an in-game filter that allows to customize everything you want, lol. Let's be real here, GGG knew there are people who live and breathe this game and will do the work for them, so they didn't even bother :D A bit of objectivity wouldn't hurt my guy, no need to be so braindeadly biased, it gives cult vibes.

[@laurentbial2055]

Because they did want players to not need filters...

[@HouseofGausss]

@@laurentbial2055 to not need filters? Really? Are you saying the gazillion drops are going to be so very catered to my builds (including potential ones) that I won't need to hide half the crap? I thought the point of dropping a shit ton of loot was to deter bots. I am genuinely curious, we'll see sooner or later I guess
