PATH of EXILE 2: GGG Answers All Our Questions - Pause on DC, Pickup Radius & Cast on Dodge Roll?

It has been a while since I've been this hyped. Going to play PoE 2 for the next 10-15 years. Can't wait! :)

[@Scroapy]

Let's make sure the melee totem part gets to Mark, thanks :) EDIT: Using berserk or focus does not feel bad, while using ancestral warchief and protector does. There isn't a problem with pressing buttons to do damage, though melee has 4-6 temporary buffs(2 totems, focus, bloodrage, berserk and maybe divine blessing aura). The totems give WAY TO MUCH damage instead of the BASE GEM(~50-65% extra TOTAL DPS) and that prevents GGG from buffing the base gems, while having downsides: 1/ activation range 2/ cast time 3/ duration 4/ apart from vaal ancestral warchief - they die in a single boss hit 5/ range 6/ need skill point investment to deal with 2, 3(lingering effect), 4, 5(lingering effect) and give bigger bonus 7/ use usually 3-4 links -> Ancestal protector, Ancestral Warchief, Multiple totems and maim or comustion based on archetype, 2 links for slams and forced unique item, 2 links for some strike skills To this day I dont understand 2 things. Why does absolute majority of skill gems have 0.7-0.9 attack speed modifier and then they give us Ancestral protector to compensate it -> just remove protector buff and tweak the base attack speed effectiveness... Why do slam skill support gems have also 0.7-0.9 attack speed modifier. I get what they are trying to prevent -> play slam skills on 6 - 15 attacks/s, but you could achieve that by shifting more power into war cries themselfs(aka old seismic cry), so they feel powerful to use and not a button to get Echoes of creation buff. This virtually means, that you HAVE to craft attack speed on slam axe/maul/staff, while it goes against the idea of not caring about attack speed itself, maybe we should have warcry speed suffix, that we would go for instead. Currently there is barely a difference between slam axe and strike axe. We can see difference only in very high investment crafting(5-6 ideal mods). Bonus -> why it seems like Tawhoa + Fist of War does not work together, whenits literally forced on to you in the chieftain ascendancy... Swapping the position of those two would be way better, but imho it should be Ruthless support instead of Fist of War or other way to make it work together with tawhoa.

Yes! Finally I can pause PoE when my Mom starts scolding me and when she’s done, I can jump right back in where I left off !

[@lucaslabuda891]

Corker?

[@EliteWater]

For the Question on Lingering Death effects, a solution IMO, is to tie the death effect to the pack leader. Once the pack lead dies the Death effect on the rest of the pack ends. This also allows for a counter to the death effect by targeting the pack leader early.

[@BurnettGaming]

Really great QnA. Really great questions and @ZiggyD Gaming, I really appreciate how well moderated it was. You've done a fantastic job planning ahead and helping it move smoothly along. Appreciate the hard work you put into this and thanks to Jonathan and Rory for being so open about everything. continues to be a fantastic dev and community.

[@trickdaemon]

This was my favorite of the interviews so far! Killed it

[@Alexander20091988]

the one with kripp or dm and ghazzy were also amazing. this level of transparency is just awesome. its not only informative, its also cool to see how enthusiastic they are with it. sometimes it looks more like brainstorming than a Q&A session. :D

[@godofannoyance]

Some real surprising stuff coming out of left field in these answers. Love how much the GGG devs allow themselves to be open about development. thanks Ziggy!

This is also an indicator how far they are with development. They wouldn't be that open if they weren't pretty far with development

I love how they talk about the actual process, too. "Mana isn't relevant, what's the problem with that? Oh, it's reservation. What's the solution to that? Someone already proposed it 3 years ago."

[@spbalance]

The willingness to answer questions in a direct, in depth way, with transparency and confidence without holding back on the stream of thought is really refreshing. It's really great to see them putting themselves out there like they are doing these days with these q&a's, reddit, etc. The dedication they are showing to both the community and their game(s) is clearly not limited to the office hours. Looking forward to try this game when it arrives.

[@ayoCC]

i think what's great is when he's drifting away from the question, he actually mentions it and says "let me cook, i'm going to pull it back to the question" It's not just some gishgalloping or whatever it's called

dude Jonathan is great, he has a great vision and I like that he pushes back on some questions. I have confidence in his vision

[@TalkativeTri]

Excellent interview, probably the best so far. I really enjoyed listening to it and COULDN'T BELIEVE the shout-out at the end ;)

[@fang_xianfu]

41:25 oh my god, this was so insightful. Because chaos orbs (and essences) exist, dropping items is less valuable, because you can "drop an item" over and over in yoir hideout. Using a chaos orb and dropping an item are the same thing!

I love listening Jonathan talk about the game because his passion and excitement is contagious

[@DrSamGalactic]

Great interview. It seems like all this input from the community funnelled into discussions with invested content creators who have clearly put a lot of thought into the game's direction will make PoE2 a better game. Also ZiggyD has top tier interviewer skillz.

[@kitten9138]

Great interview. Lot of questions asked and some of them got Jonathan and Rory thinking about things. It's always nice to see when a dev can think on the fly and then takes info that they are given from players back to their team to come up with solutions to things. Very nice work all around.

[@Creamouz]

It's really nice to see when Jonathan, or any of the GGG staff, get into a rant when asked about something. Shows just how much they care about making a good game

So awesome seeing the crew! The passion and openness from Jonathan and crew is inspiring. Hope your holidays were well Ziggy!

[@Rephlex01]

Hearing all the talks about POE 2 and the passion the developers bring forward just makes me happy.

[@LukeLavablade]

This talk was so good. Especially loved the conversation about 'pushiness' and having enemies feel tangible. So many amazing insights, and it seems like actionable steps to take, too! So glad this happened, and even more glad we got to hear it. Thanks to Rory and Jonathan for their answers, and thanks to the Baesquad for organising and having such good questions. If I were to speculate, I think the intention behind melee totems giving you a buff was to make it so you still felt like a 'melee' character. By buffing your own melee attacks, it encourages you to get into the fray yourself. In practice, the totem placement playstyle felt like 'required' friction for a melee build, and the melee buff was just meaningless for a totem build, so neither style really benefitted. Would be nice to see this change to make melee totems more like other totems.

[@miramichi30]

Personally, I think the problem with melee totems is that they don't feel like melee. I don't care about the buttons. War cries are a good way to implement a buff because it actually seems like a melee character. You let out this big war cry as you charge into battle and invigorates you or intimidates enemies. A totem is like a shaman or spell caster thing. Totally out of place for people who enjoy melee.

[@skeletonwizard708]

On MF: I feel the big issue is that you don't really 'feel' MF until you have all of it. There's immediate feedback when your DPS goes up, but you can never really be sure about MF until it's totally in your favor. A little something like a blue glow appearing around MF found gear would go a long way to changing it's perception.

[@ghostofdota]

That would be awesome

[@psinjo]

Just some sort of additional feed back to confirm that it works would be great

[@Deminese2]

Or they could add a drop tracker of some kind if possible to show the actual effect of improved drops that shows what you get from MF and what is normally dropped. At least for D2 people have so much data and the drop rate has been stagnant for so long we just know the MF impact on drop rates on certain boss runs etc.

[@WreckerofDays]

[@Thrune]

It was such high-quality content - the best Q&A for me so far! The moderation, questions, and overall atmosphere were great. It was very enlightening, and there was so much to learn about every thought behind the design decisions. The level of expertise at GGG is astounding. Great work!

[@LikeACrouton]

These interviews are some of the best discussions of game design I've ever seen, thanks for facilitating it.

[@Wayleran]

The other interviews were great but this one was just the best. Ziggy, Nugi and Raiz, in my opinion, are the unofficial community/developer bridge and also the developers, while always being pleasant and forthcoming, seem to be even more at ease with this team and their relaxed friendly vibe. Thanks to everyone who participated.

[@PaulKibbsy]

Love this, thanks for taking the time to do this

[@SvargasName]

Maybe the problem with on-death effects is that they can kill you. Which is not required to make you react to a mob in a pack dying. On-death effects could be about crowd control, damage taken increase, displacement, etc. Can even reduce your health, just don't kill on it's own.

[@Shurikn012]

lingering death effect could become something else once last mob dies; a curse or a mark that could stack 2 or 3 times before killing ect

[@Thyrrry]

Cast on dodge sounds fun. Not as a main skill but modifiying your dodge to do extra things is very interesting.

[@a_pet_rock]

Yeah, especially an ability that procs CC more than just more damage. Like a dodge roll that also chills/freezes monsters around you could be super handy.

[@d4n617]

[@CountCocofang]

5:40 Ah, come on! There was so much additional, extra power added over time. Knowledge being shared made usage of tools better understood but it was GGG that added all the tools in the first place. Ascendancies. Jewels. Clusters. Influenced mods. Fossil, Essence, Harvest crafting. Eldritch implicits. Anointments. Catalysts. All of that stuff is extra player power with hardly any or no opportunity cost at all. Just added on top of every existing tool. Player knowledge didn't pile these onto everything else. No amount of evolving player knowledge could ever match the raw added power of all these tools. It's like going "We added 300% more damage to all builds in the game but that player knowledge though!" We already have a zoom-zoom-Zoomer game in PoE1. Thanks to the split PoE2 can be different. At least until power creep sets in let PoE2 be methodical and slower. These reserved answers out of fear of angering the ADHD screen-wide firework Zoomers are so boring. Judging from GGGs attempts to reign in player power and how frustrated they are by not being able to do it in more drastic ways it's easy to tell that they themselves are not satisfied with how PoE1 evolved. Don't let the same issues carry over into PoE2 just because you want to pander to the same crowd again. I love PoE1 but I can recognize that it has issues. And I am ready for a very different experience alongside it. I don't need the same game twice.

[@TheGabrielbowater]

Torchlight Infinite will pause when you experience server drops, the screen greys etc, it works very smoothly. Obviously not something we will get in poe1, but I'd love to see it in 2

[@Conqueror933]

With pausing the instance, if you're worried that the game would "just randomly pause" if you have high ping, just put it in the options menu and let the player choose. In general SO MANY issues could be solved by just letting the player choose a number that works for him, instead of 'dev magicing' a number that's supposed to work.

PAUSE DURING DC IS GENIUS. HARDCORE PLAYERS LOVE YOU. Do multiplayer do on toggle option of party. Everyone pauses and you either wait to leave party which puts you in your hideout!!

[@Mipzhap]

Let me start out by saying that I've been watching the 3 interviews that GGG has had with content creators and they've all been very insightful and enjoyable to watch - and I truly do mean this! One thing though that I'd like to comment on, why oh why did you guys had to add stuff like "[question], that GGG has been very keen to avoid answering in the past", it's like - that's just a dumb way to end a question. GGG is sitting down to answer those kinds of questions exactly - and actually has eluded to the answer they gave multiple times before, even in previous interviews, and then people add that stuff to the questions. I don't know, I'm just sad that that is a way of asking questions. Ghazzy was under fire for being harsh (as understand by his comment on his video) - and he was never like that direct, in my mind. I think I'm just confused as to why GGG gets so much flak for being non-open when they are way more open than SOO many other game companies; it's like they're being punished for being open, but not with exactly the things that people actually wanna hear. That sounds like a lose-lose situation to me, no wonder if they've wanted to just slam shut like the rest under those circumstances. Anyways this was just a minor rant, wanting to throw some light on a topic that I thought about. No evilness intended towards anyone. GG GGG and content creators all :-)

[@HealerMommy1]

no just no... Ghazzy was not being harsh he was being a Dik about it and being rude as hell. he was purely being toxic and he laughed about it on stream later on. he should never be allowed again to a Q/A.

[@Mipzhap]

@@HealerMommy1 He wasn't being rude during the Q/A, if he was I'd like you to tell me when, because I wouldn't call any of that rude. Whatever he does after the interview I really don't know about because I generally don't watch PoE on twitch.

[@12345Ninja54321]

Question regarding respecing points: why GGG think that respecs are mistakes on the skill tree? Sometimes I want to experiment with few skills in Act 9 for example around lvl 65. For that I have to respec some points to try them from fire to chaos. Is that a misstake to experiment with other skills, when they create a sandbox game?? is there no solution for it like a quest item view time which give players 6 respec points. Within the concept of POE 2 it would also make sense to have side quests or bosses which allow that below level 70???

[@erth8096]

I was thinking the same thing that they should give us free or very cheap respec points before a specific mid game milestone and afterwards it can become something like poe1

[@koyhyun117]

For the Stun topic, I think raiz was going for something similar in Lost Ark when you are knocked down you can use your roll key to get up but it will trigger a cooldown to your get up skill which is around 15-30 seconds depending how much swiftness character has(as it affects ASPD, MS and CD) Which might be a good additional system to react with stun since almost no one builds reduced stun threshold in their gears in PoE(unless its 100% on one thing) and since its something that will mean death to Hardcore players

[@koyhyun117]

@Ambander1 Sure maybe you can get away with it in the tree but you wouldn't get it on your gear sacrificing one explicit is what I think.

Can we have determined percentages please? Like Evasion. For example Shaping the mountain is 10% chance to gain a craft. Can it be that the tenth map will always trigger it, or as a pity mechanic and if the at the 20th map it hasnt trigger yet, it will be guaranteed? Same for a lot of other percentages wher it makes sense for it to work this way.

[@chicomanara]

I, for one, miss Chris Wilson on the stage, talking to us. Sure, he is not as involved in PoE 2 as Johnatan, and Johnatan has his charm, like making us believe he is developing New features as he talk, but what I can say, years and years os Chris being the face of GGG doesn't go away.

I just wanna say how awesome this dialogue is between the developers and fan base. I feel like everyone wins when we come together and voice our concerns and expectations.

[@ericcrone8768]

An idea regarding after death effects (specifically dots): Have ignite, poison, corrupted blood, w/e after death dots pool together when the magic/rare pack is killed and cause a little explosion. This at least makes the effects active, we should be able to dodge said explosion, but eliminates them sitting around as we are trying to loot. Obviously this would be new animations and efforts, so maybe it doesn't come in right at launch, but if done appropriately it would be very clear to the player to avoid the ball of fiery/poisony/icy/bloody death forming.

[@LikeACrouton]

The weapon swap thing sounds like they're going to have to have situations where specific elements or status effects reeeally matter to avoid purely optimizing damage with curses. Which also implies there gonna have to have damage type "combos" or ways to scale swapping directly (similar to EE or Trinity for elements). Cuz yeah without that it's definitely just gonna be curse swap like they said. Interested to see how that works.

[@monawoka97]

The interesting thing about grace and determination is they used to be purely multiplicative. They were changed, I believe, so that aurabots running determination are still relevant to party members that aren't using armor gear. I have no strong opinion either way but I think it's an interesting discussion on the role of auras and aura bots. I think there is a possible world where auras are split between versions that only buff you and are "specializing" as Jonathon says and auras that are weaker, effect everyone, and are "despecializing" - allowing aura bots to patch up problems for party members.

[@HealerMommy1]

i think its dumb they serve a purpose and dont need a nerf. i dont play with one but they have no interest in making the game fast paced like POE1 which is bad in my eyes as not a single person but select few like slow gameplay. 3.23 should tell them all they need people like blowing stuff up and being fast not being slow whacking mobs at a slow pace. D4 example they toned down the killing people grew bored. D3 is picking back up because people loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the hell out of power creeps. 3,14 was example then 3.15 when they killed it but expected people to suffer with the nerfs. the league was dead 1st week in because of it. standard even lost a lot players. if they change way aurabots work then they lose likely 30% playerbase who plays them.

[@penguindrummaster]

I wanted to respond to the question you posed: "Why do you think Magic-Find gear is unpopular?" My take on it is basically FOMO, but not in the sense that it's not there for the taking. Rather, the people who are able to leverage MF gear then show the possibilities and outcomes of this gear. However, not every build can sacrifice damage/defenses in service to better Magic-Find. Even if you have a build that can afford the sacrifice, it can come at the cost of fun, because the power fantasy is what some people find enjoyment in, whether it is in the form of being unkillable, or being a destroyer of worlds fantasy. I'd say it's like the people who say they can't play Trade League anymore because it takes the fun out of the game for them. When you know that your time is being spent in a sub-optimal way, but the optimal way isn't fun (for you), it leaves you feeling like you're playing the game "wrong". This dissonance leads to an outcry, where these people don't want to be shamed for enjoying the game in a different way. What's more, people rarely know themselves well enough to identify this kind of problem, and instead point to things only tangentially related. Getting rid of MF gear won't make them a better player, or have more fun, but it might mean that the difference between optimal play, and the play they find fun, might be reduced.

[@snactimusmaximus]

The issue with league mechanics being so powerful and going away so quickly is that it leaves a lot of cruft around in the build community and will lead to new players, who don't understand the importance of league versions or might not recognize antiquated leage mechanics in teh build, picking bait builds and having a bad time. Great interview!

[@apexfalllegendarium349]

Fire feet or kung fu

[@zalepydullo2476]

do on death effects like this: 1. the mod belongs on rare mob 2. a status is applied by the rare mob to a living non-rare mob 3. if/when that non-rare mob dies with that status on, that triggers the on-death effect 4. if the rare mob that supplied the status is killed, the on-death status on mobs and any triggered effects are removed/terminated immediately This way you'd get the desired "change of pace" while fighting the pack, while at the same time be truly "done" with the pack once all mobs are dead.

Regarding the "Artsy" question from Raiz. maybe there should be an option in the settings where you can "turn off" cosmetics so all you see is the base clothing. That way those who want to see it can and those who do not wont...

Man i loved it when Jonathan popped off, you can see how happy he is talking/explaining about it. This interview low key makes me hate the Blizzard interviews about Diablo 4 even more :')

i would love to know if there is any trial version for the mtx sold at the shop at a further discounted price. or make it like drop for trial mtx. it allows the players to preview the skill effects before purchasing it. that would be lovely
