"I WAS THERE" Reacting to the LA Event presentation - So much CONTENT - PoE2 #2

[@michaelwright956]

I’ve never played Poe before but I’m super excited to start my journey. I’m eyeballing the 160 dev support pack. I get a feeling I’m going to be playing this for years…

[@harborwolf22]

I've never played a game that made me want to give the developers money before I started playing PoE1 a four or five leagues ago. I ended up buying multiple rounds of stash tabs, and a $60 supporter pack. If I could afford the $400 one I would in a second, but it's the $29 pack this time for me.

[@AelundTwitch]

Don't forget, you can always buy the base $30 pack and later upgrade to a higher pack if you decide you like the game! You'll only have to pay the difference in price between the packs.

[@AelundTwitch]

@@VaderxG I believe they stated that the EA packs will stay there for the entire duration of EA(which is 6 or likely more months), can just upgrade to the next pack once every one or two months if you feel like doing it! That's my plan anyway.

[@piotrsykut6999]

Hear me out. I've been playing PoE for a while now, really got into it in the end of Essence/beggining of Breach league. (for context - that's december 2016) I have only made two pre-release/early-access purchases - Fallout 4 and Payday 3 and I regret them heavily, both. Both we're absolutely not what people expected, complete flops (PD3 more so than F4 but still). Since then I've made a promise to myself - no preorders. With that in mind, I don't have a SINGLE doubt about this. PoE2 looks more and more like the opus magnum of gaming, especially aRPGs.

[@TheGroberUnfug]

@@piotrsykut6999 who even asked, keep your playmoney

[@Empyriangaming]

This event was really cool, basically a less scripted version of the official livestream on the 21. It some footage not seen on the recent livestream tho! I'm way too hyped but there is still 12 days to go. Enjoy the yapping! Thanks for watching!

[@harborwolf22]

Twelve days.... This is worse than waiting for Christmas as a little kid...

[@NicholasDarling]

armour might be the brown stuff on your health bar.

[@JustDan_777]

aggravated bleed is moving while bleeding right?

[@JustDan_777]

forgot you can just click it now. they immediately do that. gg login

[@FBGDemannu]

Really annoying when your talking over the developers. Can’t hear them or you. Just some feedback

[@Ergdoelloos]

man, watching video's like this just makes you think that poe 2 is going to be one of the biggest games of the decade.

[@circaen]

Johnathan is such a beast. His ability to do these presentations / interviews with such enthusiasm is crazy. I get exhausted for him. He could probably sell me anything. I can't get enough POE 2 content. Gotta get through these 2 weeks!

[@alex7435]

My favourite part of this video is the amount of time spent on FBI PAUSE ZOOM ENHANCE only for the thing to be immediately showcased right after

[@gottobekidingme]

cant wait to use a bow for clear and daggers for bosses

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

I'm thinking wand/quarterstaff monk start personally. The ability to have some skill points set to weapon swap opens up so many possibilities, like I wonder how many good persistent effects there are that you could have boosted on your weapon swap to just get a buff every dozen seconds or so.

[@VanByyrg]

Daggers are not in at the start of EA due to Shadow class not being released yet

[@NoxKlimmek]

@@VanByyrgthen why are there dagger skills available with skill gems? Are those just not usable then? Or could it be youre talking shit?

[@VanByyrg]

@NoxKlimmek there are no skills for daggers available on the gem menu, the tab for ir is empty. Same for Flails, Axes, Swords, Primal and spears

[@NoxKlimmek]

@@VanByyrg oh, ok sorry. I just saw the daggers and was hyped because i wanted to do a dagger build :/

[@LSjame]

"who knows, maybe there is a mageblood that buffs charms?"👀👀👀👀 mageblood confirmed, ty for the insider info leak, Empyrian

[@Empyriangaming]

Lmao complete guesswork

[@Cracks094]

There's a high chance something like Mageblood is in the game with permanent charm effects. Or maybe something wildly different like giving you 3 additional charm slots :D

[@taylon5200]

Thats what i thought too!

[@zmattchiasson]

I can imagine it having 3 perma effects but the effects are random, so you have expensive ones and some that sell for 2c

[@МистерТвистер-н4я]

They said that mageblood, head hunter, etc are still in game, but would have different mechanics, our part is to discover what mechanics they have right now.

[@SuSp3cT666]

Chat being "Pack size is so little, do you think they will increase it" before ever touching the game and seeing how it feels. why are you like this chat?

[@Amazementss]

I love the completely offhand confirmation that Delirium guy is Tangmazu.

[@Asmerath1245]

CI, Eldritch battery, mind over matter Servant of chayula. cant wait.

[@МистерТвистер-н4я]

Nerfed👍, i already can see archmages monks with sparks that clear 2 screens with a press of a button

[@alex7435]

Makes no sense, mind over matter takes damage from mana before life only, but darkness protects both life and energy shield. You’d want something like the agnostic to ensure you have 0 ES so damage is always hitting your mana instead of your darkness.

[@ethanlarge3572]

It wasn't a starting node. It was the ascendancy node on the edge, and it said "20% more maximum life" which is JUICY.

[@Kchristians]

GGG have been cooking and I am ready to eat

[@tamasfreiberger1184]

34:52 Did he just craft an item that is equipped? Finally. We have the technology

[@Schmidteren]

I saw one of the nodes. 1100% increased damage on the first tuesday of every month.

[@Schmidteren]

he takes no damage from the boss, cheat code on? xD

[@burak25827]

Dude soundtracks are bangers. Kamil has been cooking.

[@MrBooleanDE]

Love ya

[@panamera0607]

It's crazy how poe just became my fav game of all time, i even did not played the elden ring dlc (i love elden ring), bacause i wanted to try a new build

[@honordevs]

I think the thing a lot of people missed in the presentation on the 21st was maps are "completed" when you kill all notable rare enemies/bosses. I'm worried there will be random rares in corners. I hope they address this.

[@ernic11]

This came up in one of the interviews; answer is, after killing a certain amount of the rares/uniques in a map, you'll be pointed to the remaining ones needed to clear it.

[@honordevs]

@@ernic11 Thanks for this. That still kind of sucks, but I guess they have time to iterate on it. Implementing something like Last Epoch did where they run to you after you kill a certain number would probably be a good fix.

[@NhunesTV]

There's is probably mageblood, because it have skin and they want to support all mtx in both games.

[@lamx0899]

I am imagining mageblood is going to give you more slots in charms so you can have more than just 3 charms

[@miroto9446]

Something make me feel like that rapidfire crossbow with the bell from monk will be instant meta build on release.

[@chidori0117]

The damage on the bell probably scales with the damage of the attack that triggers it and isnt static.

[@EmixDK]

Thank you for shouting out spoiler alert!

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

@1:13:35 Barya is Filipino for "loose change" I think, so probably has to do with the Sekhema trial coins? Since the other part is for ultimatum stuff.

[@junk3996]

im not sure if we've seen auras, but we have seen things other than minions that reserve spirit. i can't remember exactly what it was though.

[@TheSwoon69]

Another content creator that was at the event talked about CYCLONE. He said it was locked to Axes.

[@Empyriangaming]

Ye Cyclone is confirmed but not at start of early access!

[@DanielWilliams-u2j]

Great content, as always! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@itscharlieschannel]

I wonder how many "weapon swap" nodes you can have. If its unlimited, it feels like you could have a glass cannon/life regen weapon swap system.

[@Aldinos2]

There's at least 24 set points, from one shot of the official reveal. That's already very nice imo

[@yessougkouyoumjian2944]

i think they would introduce utility and support flasks if ou wont use healing or mana flasks to swalp em with

[@iamarugin]

21:51 MAGEBLOOD CONFIRMED

[@iNOOB-o2]

I remember from gamescom that if you hover over to passives it showed how much dps it increases on the equiped skills, can you confirm if it made it to the LA showcase?

[@Empyriangaming]

No

[@iNOOB-o2]

@Empyriangaming sad noises 😓

[@MainOffenderKZ]

i thought jewels were sanctum only rewards.

[@Mstrp2ez]

What is that number at the top of the boss fight that seems to indicate damage dealt? Damage meter login? 12:00 in

[@TheChubby1]

Do you have an infrmation about how much ascendency points we will be able to alocate in EA? Is that 8 like in PoE or will it be less, like 6? 2nd question do you mb know whats the highiest tier of waystones are? Is t16 max?

[@МистерТвистер-н4я]

1. 8 like in poe 1 2. T16 because there is no t17 maps for early access, i assume they add them in time they add valdo maps, so in 6-12 months

[@ondrasuchanek6467]

do we know what happens if some of players in current party dies and rest kills the boss? Does it count as completed or bricked or differently for each player?

[@aspidinton]

if only they made splinters auto-pickupable, that would be cool

[@TwentyInchBurial]

they are using 4080's

[@danielshalin3732]

1:45:45 is the best lol

[@junk3996]

im curious and would like to ask you for a confirmation can you pause PoE2 at any time you want? like even if you're online trade league, you can pause the game, is this correct?

[@malcolmmorris3947]

yes, single player can pause always. if you play with more people everyone has to hit pause for it to work.

[@Empyriangaming]

Yep

[@troyrarehale2517]

1:20:27 There is no reflect in POE2.

[@r1ves819]

I played thousands of hours in poe1, and I never rushed to go through the storyline, running through everything with my tongue hanging out and quickly going to the maps, in pumping at low levels there is also a lot of pleasure when improving the character and when you try a different path of development, with other skills, perhaps if I played every league from beginning to end on the same build, as some people do on RF or Witch or other builds, repeating the path every time, I would have a different view, but fortunately I play not only poe and have things to do in real life)) that's why I can afford this style of play and enjoy it, I sympathize with people who have to run through the storyline, absolutely rejecting this part of the game and not getting any pleasure from this part of the gameplay

[@Lightdark1992]

so what happens if u brick them maps in all directions and u cant go anywhere?thats it? unninstall? :D

[@Empyriangaming]

There is a failsafe against that.

[@rogueyollo]

Have i imagined it or there was a video reaction for POE-2 stream but you deleted it? :)

[@Empyriangaming]

There was no video. I streamed us reacting with the group to the Nov 21 livestream on both twitch and youtube, you might have watched that live.

[@juts89]

Could have sworn there was one. It went over salvaging crafting that wasn't in the main video....

[@waowNroks]

It wasn't a reaction video but a summary of things he was excited for based on the announcement and the presentation in this video, it's privated for now but it might be back later

[@rogueyollo]

@@Empyriangaming super weird. I could have sworn I have seen a 20 min video with 1min comments per all the updates on POE2 🤖 was that live?

[@gianni.sacciloto]

@@rogueyollo There was a video, yeah. It was privated a while later idk why

[@SkillRampage]

300 pieces for the boss is so ass. it means it will take years to find the awesome boss. want it like elden ring. try it as much as possible =(

[@malcolmmorris3947]

I mean it takes you directly to the uber boss, no more regular vs pure stones, and he had no atlas points used while running a white map with 0 juice, it isn't gonna be that bad.

[@NicoHannes]

extreme archaeology LOGIN

[@hamedameri9910]

so the mapping progress is like last epoch if u die u dont get progress and u bricked it, would u be able to run same map if u get the tablet?

[@mcdowe245]

The tablets are just the ticket to enter. If you die, its bricked, you have to go in a different direction

[@cluelessme7211]

The tablets refresh maps. They are not way stones. It's unclear if tablets revive. Also it should be 6 deaths to brick a map, not 1. 6 portals.​@@mcdowe245

[@TL-fe9si]

@@cluelessme7211 No, it's one death to brick a map. After the EA release, ZiggyD's QA session talked about it. You only use portals to leave the map to move loot from your inventory or refill your flask. If you die, even if you have more portals left, you can't go back. Another use for extra portals is for group play.

[@hamedameri9910]

@@mcdowe245 thank you

[@lahnfear123]

I’m kinda hyped about a lot. But no movement skills kinda looks boring. And the Atlas tree is so small. So little loot, and what drops looks bad.

[@malcolmmorris3947]

loot/crafting is very different, much closer to Last Epoch than POE 1. you can disenchant ground loot to build up crafting essence (idk what its actually called) for each of the mod types (life mods on an item give life essence for example), when you have enough of the specific essence type you can craft any tier of that modifier you want. since alt/chaos spam, as well as scours are all gone ID-ing bases to find ones with 2-3 good mods to craft around or sell will be very important, if you miss an annul in POE 2 the base is bricked and you have to find/buy a new one.

[@obscurside3652]

does cosmetics i bought in D3 will work in D4 ?

[@lourensmalan2431]

As long as they make sense all cosmetics from d3 are in d4, they don't have wings or pets in d4 yet so those won't transfer over but everything else should work

[@Sindamsc]

😂

[@bootywrangler1213]

D3 didn't sell cosmetics.

[@WOLQU]

I hope that they will increase number of mobs on map. Diablo 4 had huge problem with it in the beggining and it was awful and i hope that it wont repeat in poe 2.

[@blueghastly]

did they remove masteries?

[@Empyriangaming]

Yes, for now they don’t exist in poe 2

[@МистерТвистер-н4я]

Probably add them back at some point

1:35:49 Watching that boss fight, and the mechanics you have to avoid ... people sitting on half a decade old PCs with permanent up resolution scaling from 300x400 will not see that stuff, and die. Will be frustrating for people who cannot afford to buy a new PC. Jordan Peterson would recommend quitting POE Early Access and find a 2nd job, to afford a new PC in 6-12 months.

[@Buggolious]

Alright

[@МистерТвистер-н4я]

It is bad, but no one can do anything except people with wooden computers. For being able to play games you must have a semi stable life at least. If you dont have that, maybe you should focus on improving your financial situation first instead of playing games that dont give anything to you.

[@joshuac1876]

I kinda hope the "league mechanics" would just be placeholders because it just has this feeling of assets reuse that makes it seem less like a sequel.

[@malcolmmorris3947]

It's not supposed to be a sequel, or at least is wasn't. POE 2 was just a new campaign that fed right back into POE 1 maps, that idea got scope creep to infinity until it wasn't possible to make it just a big POE update anymore. So instead they spent a few more years and went all the way with it. It's still going to be tied to POE 1 as far as future leagues and such so all content will always be mirrored, just the playstyles and economies of the games will be kept separate.

[@joshuac1876]

@malcolmmorris3947 It was originally Poe 1 patch 4.0 but that was 7 years ago. Now it's a sequel, they have never said it was "tied" to Poe 1 other than being a sequel you are making things up. The reason it was a sequel wasn't because of scope it was because of ultimatum when they got death threats after trying to bring the game to a slower pace and more balance. So they decided to make it it's own thing, why do you think everyone called it ruthless 2.0 because ruthless was the original vision that Poe 1 was supposed to change into and Poe 2 was going to be the 4.0 sequel of. (I'm not saying it is ruthless 2.0 it looks way better)

[@ztjaenisch]

The game has gone a bit carebear. You can only use 1 of each type of support gems.
