I am currently thinking about the fact that the third trial is not even out yet. And for them to introduce it to the new player in the campaign in full release, they will ultimately allow players to get a free pass on it like the other two trials. Making the first 3 ascendancies rather easy to approach, allowing the 4th ascendancy to be the challenge to maximise your Sub-class.

[@HalIOfFamer]

Which is frankly a real shame. It felt better in 1 with a progressively harder approach. In 2 it's easy, easy, hard as shit, impossible.

@@sluggerr it's hard enough that some people don't attempt it until they are super over leveled and it just wasn't the case in 1 where some strategy and planning could get you through it.

And the devs wanted the exact opposite to be the case in the game.

This is especially noticeable when he is talking with others (i.e. DM) And I think that it comes from that extreme excitement to be doing what he's doing. This is sincerely meant to be constructive criticism and feedback, as I think Tri is pretty cool and I want him to succeed in all his endeavors so if you see this, it's coming from a place of love, homie!

Switched on warrior yesterday and finished act 1 since I got bored with witch at lv75. But damn I'm enjoying warrior ngl.

[@michaelscott2093]

I just got to the part where DM is talking about Last Epoch. My take on it is what makes PoE 1 mapping worse is the repetitive nature of running the same layout 100 times in a row, but Last Epoch did a good thing where you could feel "progress", like you are moving forward in an adventure but all the maps themselves are beyond boring. I think PoE 2 mapping system nailed the balance of the upside of both. You feel like you are moving across the world and progressing and going to different places, but at the same time they maintained the map rolling system and the progression of map difficulty. I love that and i hope it gets even more fun as it gets iterated and the rough edges get smoothed out

[@rickwild]

great podcast guys. I'm new to the POE franchise and i'm having a blast with POE2. One thing I hope they improve is the Tool Tips. Sometimes I have no idea what an item does, which item is better than another, or what some of the icons on the maps are.

As with Path of Exile 1, the difficulty curve is interestingly inverted from other games. The game starts off hard as shit, and the further and further you get along, it only gets much easier.

[@monkeybomb1232]

Pump some aoe / area damage nodes. Once ur shit covers half the screen u will realise why its so damn good. Use weapon swap to go for ur highest single target damage for bosses. For clearing you dont need your best weapons.

Bro😂 my first 2 ultimatums on my warrior went EXACTLY the same as DM's

[@timpeterson175]

You two could chat everyday and I’d listen

[@Rainfires]

The power fantasy is inverted I think from their ideal ethos. In both poe1 and poe2, you gain power for the privilege of minimizing the difficulty of tasks and you take them on in greater quantity (more monsters more maps faster). Whereas the campaign demonstrates building power to gain the privilege of maximizing the difficulty of new tasks in greater quality (you grow and take on stronger, more punishing, and more interesting bosses & mob sets) Think about how Elden ring simply scales the quality of your challenges with the power you gain vs. poe1 scaling the quantity of lower quality challenges you face at speed. Think about how the campaign feels vs the endgame. And, there’s some inverted correlation there. If they want the endgame to feel like the campaign, they have to increase the quality and demand of the challenges through means that don’t increase the quantity of monsters.

[@warcheddar4163]

i dont see why they cant do a mixture of both in endgame, as you gain power you are able to face large quanities of monsters and clear faster, until you run into a boss that instead scales that challenge where your power is instead letting you maximize the difficulty your facing. The main complaint i see people having is just that these engaging max difficulty encounters are way too rare in the endgame. Personally i feel like a good solution to some of the problem would be going back to map boss based completetion, but having two pools of bosses: all of the more simple less cinematic bosses go into a pool for normal maps, then all of the more cinematic bosses (act bosses and like the executioner and the big vaal construct, etc.) go into a pool for maps with a more challenging boss icon, and are scaled more and made more rewarding.

[@jaredmiller3656]

How about some kind of "boss rush" mechanic?! I would love that! Maybe an ascendancy trial that involves fighting a series of buffed bosses or something. That would be really cool I think.

[@TKnightTea]

The whole idea of "Clear" Maps is a wrong concept for POE2 IMO, any Zoom-Zoom build will dominate any other class build which will lead to the same end-game as POE1, they need to drastically rework it if they want it to Feel like the campaign (Act 1 and Act 2 was peak IMO) - what is after is just a downgrade. (NO strategic approach is going to happen with current logic) - Make the maps smaller - Add more bosses - Make maps encounters feel more like bosses encounters that have few creeps here and there that add more flavour (now it literally feels like POE1 , even on the warrior - you just run and kill trash mobs that's it) - and top players run with 1-2 buttons insta shotting everything. They want different gameplay - they need different endgame - current global map was a good start , but what you do on that maps should drastically change. What was the point of dodge roll, what was the point of Active Block , they told us numerous times they had to re-do the whole game to account for this, i ask wHY??? if these mechanics don't matter in late game - they just don't.

[@zeesson]

My biggest gripe is that your party members can body block you. It makes it so teaming up is actually a liability with all the bosses in closed in spaces

[@tradesdontlie]

Im new to ARPG so idk if this exists, but I like taking the concept of the skull caverns from Stardew valley for an endgame mechanic for an ARPG where every floor of the cavern gets harder and harder but the loot gets better and better and you cant leave and come back and you see how deep you can go. There is a timer for stardew, not sure if that’s a good addition or not. Maybe for loot purposes every 10 floors there is a stash, or a portal. Maybe every 10th level there’s a boss. Every 25th levels there’s an Uber boss. No matter what you have to start at level 1, but maybe you can upgrade the starting difficulty, and or you get check point scroll loot drops every 25 levels to start deeper. This could create a cool leader board to see how deep someone can go into the corruption abyss. If not descending into a bottomless abyss, maybe a fortress with levels and you get to the roof for the boss, that unlocks the next fortress map. They don’t have to be mega large floors or mazes either. A few rares per floor and then to the next one. This keeps dopamine levels high, and no need for back tracking. Chest floors are randomized. Hidden merchant floors are randomized. MAYBE a trap room like sanctum. Add in other mechanics for floor randomization.

[@via_negativa6183]

Warrior is awesome and it actually makes the game feel easy. The only boss I had problems with was the one in the molten metal because of the timer and the fact he runs into the lava and you need to be close, game play is really fun also

Once you complete the end-game questline, they should add buttons like they have for trial of chaos and the hideout to the atlas so you can just teleport there and use it.

I started a which. Because I figured: I'm new to POE. I don't know what I'm doing. But the skeletons? Those guys have been around for centuries! Let them carry me :D I strongly recommend minion builds for new players, because it gets very safe by the end of Act 1. Minions take most of aggro so all you need to do is just run around, dodge big slams and buff them. Also, regarding gear - I am levelling an ALT sometimes when I get tired of maps, and it feels like I'm getting 5x the amount of yellows even though I'm just running straight through zones and not full clearing them. I remember ending Act 1 with 2 yellow items without using vendor. I was fully geared with both rings and amulet on my second character. They made it much easier.

[@paulblart2179]

The current endgame is what they came up with in 2 months (Jonathan said this in an interview). This is literally a first draft and the worst state it will ever be in. It will only get better from here. That being said, as someone who never made it to endgame in POE1 (so I don't have that as a frame of reference), I am absolutely loving the endgame of POE2. There's definitely room for improvement, but it's already miles ahead of other ARPGs.

[@syntheticsleep]

Oh man, first gaming experience? I'm almost 47 and I don't remember a time without gaming. The first thing I can recall is that we had both an Atari VCS and an Odyssey II. There was a game we had on the Odyssey called Pickaxe Pete which was basically a Donkey Kong clone but with more level diversity and layouts. That's the first game that I distinctly remember having a joystick in my hand and playing. I was probably 2 or 3. Growing up, though, it was a lot more time on the Atari because there were so many games and you could find them everywhere really cheap. Especially after the crash. So I spent a lot of time playing River Raid, Chopper Command, Missile Command, Defender, Moon Patrol, H.E.R.O., Pitfall etc. We were really poor, so I never had an NES. My graduation from the Atari was a SNES that I bought with my very first paycheck. It was the Killer Instinct bundle. Not only was it a memorable experience because of it being my very first purchase on my own, but the cute cashier at Walmart wrote her number on the back of the receipt! I didn't even know, and I was oblivious to her flirting with me at checkout because I was so focused on getting that SNES home. Later on I did pick up a used NES and Genesis at a local pawn shop, so I got to catch up on most of the things I missed during big video game revival.

[@lachlain4070]

I have a lot of thoughts about stuff as you guys typed and some of it I would like to put down if no one minds. As a new POE player I am a huge fan of Sanctum and Ultimatum, although tweaks need to be made I have such a blast playing them and I have done so now as Sorceress and Warrior (before and after the tweaks). I hope they dont change them too much. Honestly for Ascensions I wish they changed how they functioned a little. Give us 3 systems to ascend all equally tough and make them tough, real tough and just buff the ascendancies and make them something you would strive to do around the middle mark of the campaign and finish in maps. The other point talked about that I had some thoughts on was end game maps and the bosses therein. I hope they do a split system for map completion and what I mean by that is when you enter and it is a normal map the completion objective changes. If you opened a breach map have it considered finished after you do the breach, etc. Have every map a miniboss and yellows and allow you to also complete the map by doing some variation (also please show where tf they are at all times). Meaning if you don't want to do bosses/minibosses just run the elites down and blast out, or do the mechanic on that map and get out, or just get out and kill the boss and leave. Giving some variation and allowing for players to choose what they want would probably help folks feel the maps are not as awful to grind down.

Something I highly dislike, especially playing a warrior, is pushing through maps and trying to get higher up, but if you die, you lose experience, and it's a pretty noticable amount you lose as well which really blows because that just straight up makes it a lot harder to progress if you start getting a bit stuck.

I rly like the ultimatum trial as it is. This huge randomness makes it super fun. Sometimes its a walk in the park, sometimes it's a ride through hell. You can try it as often as you want (of course, whenyou have keys. But you should). And you can abort as a hc-char at any stage. I don't see a problem with this design. You just need patience and you will get your ascendency after a while.

[@MagicalMajestic]

'You can try it as often as you want, unless you want to do it often then you gotta do something else" 😂 the randomness of something like -50% defences isnt exactly a fun challenge to overcome its just run ending 99% of the time. Needing patience because its just RNG wether you win or game screws won't be a fun longterm mechanic. Numbers on some modifiers being tweaked it can become something more engaging.

Warrior is not bad in a vacuum of course. No one argues otherwise. It's just compared to what other archetypes are allowed to do in the game.

36:14 exactly what I've been saying. What were they thinking? People either rage quit or pay for a carry. It's that bad

I still only have two sockets I had to look up a vid wondering when the hell I would get them damn unlucky

29:04 ---> Did that mistake : My experience in a nutshell was the boss spawned, the boss jumped, the boss casted tornado, the boss jump, I die. All of that within 1 second no time to react. Me be like *clap clap clap* Didn't expected a boss at the end I wouldn't had picked these kind of modifier instead of dealing with one shot aoes.

My guy just casually says that the start of the campaign on warrior felt great lol

[@dblood6668]

Never struggled personally with warrior

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

It's all weapon dependant. Get an early lucky rare and boom, smooth as fuck. Don't and have fun having the worst experience of your life. I've leveled them 4 times now. Cause of trying other builds and respec costs and ascendencies lock. Each one felt different. No logical stepping stones. The only decent build that is not a weapon chaser is SWT, just cause once you get +3 skill gems on two one handers for a total of +6 the game becomes a walking simulator.

[@Salty_Bagel]

@ that cause you’re the main character bro 😎

[@HDGaminTutorials]

Sounds like a skill issue and your choosing bad early game skills

[@Salty_Bagel]

@ lol I literally knew someone would say this. But yeah it actually is a skill issue. I and no I used all the skills early game trying different things in not that much of a noob. My point is compared to other classes it feels very slow and not fun early game. I’m in act 3 and I’m doing fine lol I Rerolled a ranger and finished act 1 insanely fast. I just don’t think there should be THAT much of a power difference between classes especially that early. update: also like 20 minutes after this comment I beat the first ascension trial without being hit on ranger lol this is my point haha I can barely get a single attack out without being stunned on warrior in early game lol
