The only downside of poe 2 is that after experiencing it, every other arpg will feel worse to play, including poe 1.

[@sal1764]

I don’t think Poe 1 is gonna feel worse. They’re making two very different game here. Poe 2 I think they’re going to slow it down a bit and make combat more relevant, sorta like Poe and the style of combat of Elden Ring were to combine together.

This game is the reason why I can't be bothered with any other ARPGs. Every showcase of it, it has looked amazing. We know the developer and what they can do(from my home country, they are really impressive). This is as close to a can't fail as you get in gaming but the proof will still be in the pudding. November 15th cannot come soon enough.

[@GiesbertsN]

It kinda sucks to be a developer that wants to create a new ARPG, since there is just no way they can compete with GGG in terms of gameplay and endgame. They have it all figured out and anything that comes now, will just seem like a cheap knock-off of POE or POE2. It's crazy that they basically have a monopoly on the ARPG genre at this point.

I hope they have a boss that's like Tomb Lord.

What I love the most when these devs talk about the game is the passion and excitement in their body language and voice tone.

[@Skilez]

the guy talking here, mark aka neon, comes from the early poe community (he was the inventor of the build of the week series on youtube). he was hired by ggg as community manager or tester, i forgot. then he made a name for himself because he knew absolutely everything about the game, so each time one of the higher ups needed some infos about their own game they called for neon. now he is the head of PoE1 development and very involved in the PoE2 development alongside jonathan rogers too.

[@AwesomeNuke]

D4 has been done for months already.

[@JordaanM]

I don't think there's that much audience overlap. For a lot of players, the time investment PoE requires makes it unappealing. If you want to put a few hundred hours into a single character, or a single season, PoE is great, but if you don't have that much time, then you can get a much more complete build, with more endgame playtime in D4. What's probably best for everyone is if the both GGG and Blizzard devs lean into this. D4 for casual/lower-time investment play, and PoE for a heavier iterative grind.

[@AwesomeNuke]

@@JordaanM Saying that you can get more endgame content done with less hours put in is not an advantage.. it means the game is more shallow lol You don't need to put "several hundred hours" into any character to have a fully capable character in POR, not sure where that even comes from.. I have played less than 120 hours in the past 6 weeks, and I have a lv100 character, and 2 90+, all capable of all 95%+ of content.. 20 hours a week is not crazy hours for any gamer.

Bosses block progression? So we can still go back & overlevel ourself, then go back to the Boss & slap them? OR will the Boss gimicks just 1 shot me anyway?

[@comradeshmoo]

overleveling will certainly help, as you'll do more damage and have to spend less time dodging mechanics. but by and large you'll need to learn the mechanics in order to kill the bosses, or yeah you'll get smushed.

[@Skilez]

you can overlevel and outgear bosses as before. we already saw that in one of the previous hands on gameplay videos from one of PoE1s content creators. he found a very good weapon and was able to just demolish a boss where everyone else was struggling. that said, i imagine there will be one-shot mechanics on some bosses. but so far i dont think we saw one...

I will say that I really like the boss fights in POE 2 vs D4. Their attacks and your attacks feels impactful from what I'm seeing. I also notice that you can actually see what's happening on-screen.

This awesome looking game will be free.. but is there will be some microtransactions that does impact to the game?

[@sabbathguy1]

No, all microtransactions (outside of specialised stash tabs and public tabs for trading) are cosmetic only. You can argue about where stash tabs are on the scale of pay to win, sure, but most people don't see that as pay to win since you can beat PoE 1 without trading and without buying stash tabs. However, it's also a popular opinion that the quality of life benefits of spending *some* money on the game (far less than the cost of a AAA title) can be seen as the true "price" of this "free" game. All microtransactions purchased for PoE 1 will carry over to PoE 2.

Will be hard to overlevel the exp you get is far less overall from regular and magic monsters. Also the game is far slower, its gonna take you multiplie hours just to get an extra level farming the same zone. Its not gonna worth it.

[@jamx928]

POE GOOD

[@krylesangerbeaver]

3:40 I still think this will change. I get the game is aimed at players who play and build with knowledge, but having a player just stuck at a boss and needing to keep running back and fighting at full power again will drive a lot of people away that consider themselves more casual. Sure, they can ask for help, but it may just scare them away. Of course, other players can think 'git gud', but GGG will still need spenders for cosmetics to pay bills.

[@MrJustin1m]

The bosses are going to be designed for 0-100% completion for this reason. Its appropriate for games to have a skill check before pushing the player along giving them false idea's of their skill level.
