Diablo Degenerate Tries Path of Exile for the First Time

[@eldelgardhresvelg1295]

this format is a lot more digestible because I suspect most people don't have the time to watch a 9 hour+ vod everyday even though we enjoy your content.

[@manso306]

I agree, though I also like somewhat longer formats where people make 30min - 2h long videos. Though they usually hire an editor for that.

[@atarial]

I did watch it. And then i cathed the stream. The best stream i watched for ages.

[@flipnshifty]

I have the time, but i have better things to do lol

[@atarial]

Me too. Its cool to watch when you're doing something else at the same Time.

[@Azsunes]

I like to play long vods while I am working that will last whole day

[@minibleau]

getting to 90, blind...is actually pretty impressive. some people enjoy guides on their first playthrough, others blind. either way if the end result is enjoyment, thats the goal

[@RegularSchmuck]

To be fair as the playthrough progressed I started to get more and more help from chat, so it became less blind as I went on!

[@steel5897]

You need some kind of guidance, completely blind is not how the game was meant to be played. This doesn't mean a strict build guide holding your hand, it can be something as simple as having the wiki open while you play, having PoB open to simulate skill setups and passive tree builds, looking up poe ninja to see what top players are doing on your chosen skill/class, a veteran friend or two helping you with questions and tips (this guy had the stream chat for example), etc... you need to learn the game somehow, at least use the info and tools that are out there, that way you won't even need a bespoke build guide.

[@Intestine_Ballin-ism]

​@@steel5897poe is the only game where I have 5 different tabs on alt tab its insane

[@hmp01]

@@steel5897 even board games have instructions, something you read from, it is not a bad thing, I enjoy games that make me go nerdy, I agree with all of your points

[@HEXZ0R-]

well if this jugg is boneshatter he just need good axe from chat and he can smash easy :D

[@viktorhhh1]

omg so enjoyable to see you having fun with the game i go the hardest in! You had pretty good gamer instincts for being a blind playthrough i gotta say aswell, the +2 life gain on hit on the amulet was top notch! If you have more content i would def not mind like around 30min video of the same kind, showing maybe a bit like what skill points you take, what item upgrades you do and such things. Thanks for the content and keep it up! :)

[@LemurcheBG]

Seeing you trying to equip that orb of Augmentation and selling the Quicksilver was hard lol. Your energy and streams have been very entertaining to watch, can't wait to see what you come up with on League launch.

[@flipnshifty]

That was funny man, he just started the game cmon man XD

[@CyanPhoenix_]

Yes to the cut down version! i checked out the first hour or so from the livestream since it's always fun watching new people try PoE but having digestible highlights is definitely preferred :)

[@Lormok87]

Seeing you having this much fun while streaming i can only say: please make more!

[@leandroaguero6616]

Yeah dude, first time watching his content and I also enjoyed watching him having fun.

[@Dicktopus]

This was the first and last time 😅

[@GaeFootballClub]

you underestimate my degeneracy, im gonna watch this and the VOD.

[@acidnave]

this is gold! i cant wait the next one. loved the skill tree reaction. good stuff

[@MartyrMachine]

I haven't been able to catch a PoE stream cause of time difference but I gotta still show my dude some love! Great video. I like this, I can kinda catch up!

[@RegularSchmuck]

Martyr thank you so much for your profound degree of generosity!! Love to hear that this format helps for those who are too busy to catch the streams

[@MarrasKuutar]

Watching your streams has restored some joy for me playing PoE after 9k hours.

[@flipnshifty]

like literally ermagerd

[@louisbuss6068]

Having 7k hours in this game makes this video so funny and nostalgic. Love that you tried it!

[@trellhyu9242]

This made me smile seeing someone else enjoy the game I love soo much

[@MagicalMajestic]

Very keen to see more of these videos, does mean more work but I hope it pays off for you and they are worth it. ❤

[@ferinzz]

Really nice seeing someone new to the game appreciating so much of it. Particularly loved the excitement about no cooldowns and the movement skill letting you... Move. :D

[@ZonXification]

this format is great! I would say around 30min highlight vids would be excellent!

[@Freezythree]

Got half way through part 3 and realized how far behind I was ending up. These highlights are huge $$. Great energy

[@dangkolache]

I've been watching your vods and I gotta say man, you're just naturally really good at arpgs. I hope you stick around, you are very fun to watch

[@8ealer]

Man oh man. Because of you I am literally in love and in awe with this game. I'll probably never play it as playing games consumes so much time and emotional investment. That's why I do love watching you playing it and resonating the joy you get from the game. Thank you for sharing your journey through this game.

[@marhawkman303]

oh yeah, the skill gem system is unique and interesting, but the real kicker to me is just how detailed the devs made the game world. i just put up a vid about how detailed the treasure chests int he game are. they're just random boxes you open, but the devs put work into not just making them unique but also making them look like things you could actually use in every day life.

[@mariuss4766]

he actually sat down and edited instead of more grinding the game :D

[@RegularSchmuck]

This took so much willpower 😂

[@irongrin99]

Yes, more like this, could possibly be even a bit longer?

[@Jessethoth]

PoE is actually massively inspired by Diablo 2, they weren't fond of the direction D3 was going early on. In every sense it is the true spiritual successor to D2. It was way closer to D2 originally and slowly evolved it's own style. Hell even the original Diablo 1 and 2 devs hang out at ExileCon. The "fathers of Diablo" Dave Brevik and Eric and Max Shaefer were at ExileCon this year. People generally get intimidated by the Passive Tree but it REALLY ISN'T as bad as most people assume. You will quickly learn that the Travel Nodes are the little ones and they're mainly just there to get to the Notable and Keystone Nodes, that's where the meat is. For the most part, you can ignore 2/3rds of the tree. Like if you're a Strength build for instance you won't care about most of the blue/green parts of the tree. As for Vendors and selling stuff you'll learn there are "recipes" for what combinations of stuff you sell that you'll start to exploit to get what you need in game.

[@ThomasWinget]

TY KZbin algorithm for bringing me here. Half way through the video, stopping to comment. The editing seems pretty good; obviously half way through idk if there's a summary at the end but it would be interesting to include (like, thoughts on progress and your experience/enjoyment during the relevant stream(s) ). The passive tree reaction was...yup, that's the normal reaction and I love it. Edit: A further thought that would be interesting to us veterans would be to have some sort of play time timer somewhere on screen. I assume/hope nobody would be rude about it (lol you're only *that* far after *that* much time!!!!) but it's always interesting to see how long the journey is. Obviously one would have to assume some padding on the timer for stream interaction. Second edit: the fuck is that recommended video at the end‽ You've already moved on to hardcore ruthless??? Absolute madlad...anyway, another suggestion at least for the leveling videos like this one would be to include current level and stats somewhere, maybe always on screen or maybe only after a cut when either enough time passed or a significant enough change occurred. If you do, and you decide to include a lot of stats (life, energy shield, dps, armour/evasion) then the latter is probably the play.

[@Wikstammen]

Man I loved this so much, pretty much had a smile on my face every time you got hype about literally anything. The campaign has become somewhat of a burden to me because of the huge amount of times I've completed it and seeing someone enjoy it for the first time makes me so happy :)

[@vladbur04]

You are such a pleasant person to watch, hope you will post more of your journey. Welcome to PoE bro. Enjoy your stay! :D

[@Zaaaank]

THis is super fun to watch you learn the mechanics. Great video dog!

[@kevinmoore405]

good stuff as always. the streams have been on point with POE even though i do not play the game yet.... I think the next poe video should be the ruthless run that you got going now, the the moral conundrum that went on with some zombified events.

[@liamcage7208]

I want to try POE but I found that skill tree intimidating and thought the graphics looked cartoonish. So after watching your play I have decided that the graphics actually look pretty good and I should stop worrying about the skill tree and just have fun. I'm sold.

[@pandamoniumsan]

Been passing by the vods thinking man this is hours of what is most likely the various firsts of poe ive seen a million times if only there was a shorter edited highlights version. Oh hey this video

[@janiccain]

hope you show more :D i really like the positive side and im looking forward to you realizing stuff

[@Jett_Panopio]

I watched all the vods and damn right I'm watching these videos too

[@Uphold-your-Rights]

I dont mind the 1 -2 hour shows. I can listen while i work. Your reactions are fun. Ive been playing poe for a couple years and still dont understand all of it.

[@jonnyup2nogood]

I started the game the same day as you not even knowing and after playing and then watching you.. I’ve been hooked. Also a diablo degenerate here 😂

[@cgtoche]

Glad you decided to do something like this, it's impossible to watch the vods

[@FyeRee]

Dude your pure excitement is infectious

[@FoldingTeaLeaves]

5:10 gotta love PoE (and D2) and how loot can put a smile on your face

[@madcow5833]

So wholesome to watch someone actually play the game for fun and enjoy it!

[@DeuceOnFace]

schmucky boy your blowin up dawg 16k views in 11 hours. happy to see it

[@RoccooRaccoon]

You are awesome. Hope POE will be the next new thing for you!

[@skyos8990]

I'm really happy you enjoy playing poe! You're one of my fav youtuber/streamer out there and poe is the goat of gaming for me. This is a bless!

[@SomeIdiota]

Even if someone watches every stream, these are nice to have as a way to revisit the past.

[@Pepper138]

I subscribed to you because you actually said IAS and I recognized one of my people. Cheers!

[@Afura33]

Schmuckedd that's some cool character name :D , glad to hear that you enjoy the game.

[@knaz7468]

I have no idea who you are but have been playing Poe for more than a decade and this was really fun to watch. You crushed it!

[@sakuya7527]

Please make more! I love your enthusiasm lol

[@zarfen]

I tried getting into PoE some years ago but 1:05 is what thwarted me 😂 Cool video, I was served the livestream earlier but it was so damn long, so I appreciate the recap vid!

[@kakefisk]

Try again! You can do it! :D we'll help you along if you need it.

[@benmaxwell115]

It's actually really simple! Either go into defence or offence, and then head towards a big node on the edge of the ring that fits your class - like axe or bow damage. Lots of people suggest guides but I don't see the need, pick something you like and just go for it. You end up just heading in a straight line for your favourite nodes, builds don't matter at all until like level 40+ and even then if you aren't hardcore you can get away with bad builds until the endgame. Just have fun and pick things that stack :) If you're new just focus on two main abilities, one to kill bosses, and one to clear mobs, then hook this up with cool support gems. All your other slots get taken by movement/aura/summon stuff but you don't have to worry about those until endgame.

[@zarfen]

The community seems very nice at least! Thanks for the comments 🙂

[@cfworthy]

Having only found your channel recently, these short cuts will certainly be more digestible. However, it must take a tremendous amount of time to edit an 11 hour livestream, thus leaving less time for you to stream in general. Do these if you wanna attract more viewers, but my advise would be to upload shorter segments of your livestream instead of the full 8-11hr stream, like break it up into 1hr parts rather than all in one video. Admittedly watching your streams on YT has inspired me to get back into PoE, so thank you for that. Recommended build: ShakCentral's Cold DoT.

[@wiefdiwbofdbw]

gigachads like me play d2r AND poe. I always play and switch between both. keeps both fresh and interesting

[@RegularSchmuck]

I like your style!

[@jonklor]

Great video! Love these first time playing videos

[@Touchpadse]

Insane to think it's not even been 2 weeks, how far you've come! =D

[@darkenblade986]

the cut down is very nice. I honestly dont have time for a 9hr stream.

[@justinwilliams5682]

no one gonna give props to the transition @4:57 ???? that was smooth

[@Zane_DX]

I would gladly see more of your reactions during leveling

[@denispatty]

This is really gold 😂 , the joy without cooldown is unique lol

[@rnailo]

what I loved the most is how damn right you are when looking at the skill tree and going like wait lets just focus on what we have access to and forget about the rest. It seems that this way of thinking makes the game much more manageable. I wish that there was a better way to make people understand that dont get intimidated by choices, just focus what you can choose right this instant and figure out the rest when you get there.

[@baam25th31]

It works for leveling but not going to get past yellow maps.

[@rnailo]

@@baam25th31 yeah but the people who get overwhelmed by the skill tree wont be making to the yellow maps anyhow. it was more of an advice to a first time player on how not to get overwhelmed by everything. Just focus on the things game is giving you and do not thing about what might be in the end game. Its the journey there that actually makes it more fun and has more likelihood of getting people to play the game.

[@renehofelmeyer5511]

cool video! looking forward to part 2.

[@bobroberts2581]

Admittedly first video of your’s I’m watching j think, but I like this format. I would suggest putting links to to 5 minutes or so before the clip, that way people that do have a bit longer can see the lead up and aftermath.

[@Dragynn999]

I have not yet seen the entirety of your journey but I really hope you had fun and maybe found a game you like to play even more in the future.

[@essexdevils]

MORE PLEASE

[@kryhcho]

d4 is the best game ggg ever made. the exodus of streamers trying poe is enormous. ty blizz

[@Pogey_Bait]

It's because they are all desperate for viewers. They thought D4 was going to be their golden ticket. Now they're all jumping on the PoE bandwagon and the games been out 10 years.

[@kryhcho]

@@Pogey_Bait not even talking about the big ones. a lot of small diablo streamers are trying poe and genuinely enjoying it. And honestly, bandwagon its not bad when it come to a game that as a lot to offer while being free.

[@jaimeibf]

I am going through the vods, I'm in part 3 now. I really like both formats, but I guess it can be a little too much 7+ hours for the majority of people. Since i am playing alongside the replay, it's a nice combination for the second monitor :D

[@saunorine]
